[QUOTE="ftrplt, post: 586658, member: 32"] Ah Meers, gotta' love'em!! Bought my first one in September 1970 at the Ramstein, West Germany Base Exchange. A Hayim Payek bent with turbaned man's head! For various reasons, I've never smoked it in 53 years!!!! Still sitting in its box on a shelf behind me! However, I have 25+ in my collection (some again unsmoked!!). During my military flying days, I spent a goodly amount of time in Turkey; where I picked up numerous Meers. Some in shops; others I bought in Eskisehir near the mines (the Turkish Air Force has a base there!! How convenient!!). The only Meers I've bought online were a gourd calabash w/meer bowl and an amber stem plus an unsmoked Andreas Bauer apple (which for some reason got little action; I stole it for less than $60!!). I am rather taken aback by Meer prices at any and all of the various online sites. I don't pay much attention to any of them; hence, I cannot in any way compare quality, price, etc. of any of them!!!
