[QUOTE="WarneOut, post: 587358, member: 5415"] Nice! Looking forward to hearing how that works out for you. I actually had a long conversation with Said Altinay a couple days ago; he's a very knowledgeable guy, and overall a good human being in general. When you see the amount of expertise that goes into every one of his pieces, compared to anything you'd find from AKB or a similar ilk, it actually seems like his prices should be even higher than they are. I thought I liked the other meers I had before getting my first Altinay, but I just didn't know how well a meer could actually be made. I'm extremely particular about well shaped stems, and the Altinays for me have the most consistently well shaped stems out of any pipe I've experienced, meerschaum or briar. I've heard similar effusive praise for Bakis, but it seems new pipes from him can't really be found on the market today. Edit: sorry for the redundancy, I should read my previous posts when I come back to a thread lol. [/QUOTE]
