Just an update: My new pipe is now at the beginning of its coloring process, & is becoming quite seasoned to my favorite tobacco. Now that it has soaked up some of the tobacco juices it is at its best in flavor! This is a wonderful pipe & a beautiful piece of artwork! I will treasure my Altinok pipe for many many years to come!! Please again convey my appreciation to Mr. Medet Kara for his skillful artistry in his creation of my best pipe ever!! I look forward to making another purchase from you in the future...although it will make my decision as to which pipe to smoke a much more difficult one!!! Thank you again from a very happy smoker!!!

I had a surprise today: The IMP Classic pipe I ordered arrived in the mail. It is a lovely, simple pipe which draws better than any Meerschaum I have yet tried, although not quite as easily as a really well engineered briar. I will use it for trying out new tobacco blends as Meerschaum has less of an after taste than briar.

I received my pipes today and they are truly a work of art. I will enjoy smoking them and watching them color. Looking forward to doing business in the future. Thanks!

I received my pipe in the mail after a sightly confusing mix up at the post office (nothing that was your fault) and WOW was it worth the wait! the meerschaum quality is outstanding and the carver did an impeccable job! not only is my classic shape beautiful to the eye but it is probably one of my best smokers. i own several high end briars from well known companies and this one smokes equal if not better than my other pipes. i'm glad to do business with you and i'm sure that i will be a return customer.

I received my pipe yesterday, & I must say that it is incredibly beautiful!! This is by far the finest meerschaum pipe I have ever owned! I've already smoked several bowls in it, & the pipe smokes wonderfully well! Please pass my thanks & appreciation to your master carver Medet Kara. He created a beautiful piece of art which will be clenched in my teeth for many years to come! Next time I decide to purchase another meerschaum it will again be from AltinokPipes.com!
