[QUOTE="howellhandmade, post: 24183, member: 14"] Perhaps things have changed in the three or four years since I bought (and sold) my Altinok and IMP meers, but both companies used the same tenon. Push-in, yes, but miserably small, too small to be drilled out. The reasoning is clear -- since meerschaum can be delicate, the more material you leave in the shank the better. The smaller the tenon diameter, the more room left over for meerschaum. The tenons Baki uses are larger, and, if you favor an open draw, produce a superior smoking instrument. [/QUOTE]
