Tekin Meerschaum

[isaac]

Does anyone recommend Tekin Meers? It appears he does not use the screw in tenons, which is a plus.

Not sure on the drilling/airways.

Looking at one of his pipes and would like some feedback.

I have one small basket pipe. It smokes very well, only problem is that some pieces of the outside basket are falling down, it is not affecting the smoking but cosmetically it is starting to get ugly, not sure if it is a quality of the block or because they were engraved too small and tiny.

I've had a few of his. He's a good carver, and yes, no screw in tenons on the ones I've had. But I only ended up keeping one of them because the drilling wasn't great on the others...restricted airways. But a lot of meers tend to be restricted for whatever reason.

I have one, a full bent Dublin. He uses push-pull tenons. I'm happy with mine, the airway is open, though it's taking forever to color, perhaps I need to smoke it more.

I have a Tekin and really enjoyed it. The stem in particular pretty decent for the price point.
