An AGovem straight billiard commission to go with my other pipe from him (pictured with the blue stem)
I posted this in the March Madness thread, too, but wanted to share it here, as well.
Scored this 30+ year old Altinay today. Hoping it makes a safe trip from France!

Very cool...over 30 years old unsmoked!
Nice snag...and with a windcap! Congrats...enjoy.
Ill be curious to see how/if the wind cap colors. Such a cool pipe.
A very nice & old no-name 'chimney' and two other meerschaum pipes in their original case, made by Ahmet Büyukçopur in Eskisehir, Turkey.
( From Pipedia: Ahmet Buyukcopur pipes are made by two artisans in a small workshop in Eskisehir, one focusing on smooth pipes and the other on carved pipes. All pipes are advertised as made to order from the best quality meerschaum block.)
Not for my daily/outdoor use but they are great looking and fine smoking pipes.

Hey guys, just recently started collecting meers and picked this one up at an antique shop. I believe it’s Reiss Brothers company? I also believe that it’s early 1920’s? Any othe info is welcomed. Not a bad grab for $60

Very nice find. I would go with that since it's on the inside of the case and just research the company, cheroot pipes were very popular back in the day but not always easy to find information on. Someone here might have more info, good luck!
I bought into meer madness. The first one is from A Govem. I have ran 4 smokes through it so far. Great smoker. The second and third pipes were purchased today as estates from SP. I am excited for them to arrive.
An inexpensive little SMS meer that I recently bought for its small bowl size (perfect for quick morning VaPer smokes...).
Wow I've never seen a meer windcap. It will be interesting to see how it colors
I may end up selling it. The chamber size is a little larger than I’d prefer.
Yanik has one currently for the Dead Heads out there (you know who you are).

I may or may not purchase it if it had a different stem. Possibly something with a touch of gray.

Just acquired this beautiful, unsmoked, older Koncak meer. Nice large bowl.
Definitely agree with your thoughts on SMS (based on my sole experience with them on this pipe). They may not be as good as my vintage Andreas Bauers (SMS seem to smoke a little hotter, and drilling is not as perfect), but they are great bargains at their price point and still smoke very well. Definitely a worthwhile purchase, to be sure. I am really enjoying my little SMS meer!
