Today I received my new pipe. Please pass along my l compliments to Mr. Karaca and tell him how much I appreciate his work. It is a great pipe and a beautiful sculpture. He really brought this piece of stone to life. I  am reminded of what Michelangelo said: "Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it."

I really like both of the pipes I have gotten from you, and it was a nice surprise to find that the little floral was signed by Selver.  They are beautiful pipes!   I especially like how well you package your pipes for mailing.  I will be ordering more pipes from you, that is for sure.

Pleased to leave an excellent rating for this seller who proved to be very professional, helpful and incredibly honest. The pipes from Meerschaummarket are of the highest quality, I was amazed by the finish of the pipe I purchased, as well as by the insertion of the mouthpiece into the chimney of the pipe carried out with surgical precision. Not least the pipe case, a real jewel case that makes everything spectacular. 5 stars are too few for Meerschaummarket, I would give 10. Highly recommended!

Dear Burak good evening.

I am happy to inform you that the pipe arrived in perfect condition, congratulations on the packaging, truly professional.
And I'm even happier to tell you that the pipe is wonderful, more beautiful than I expected, a true jewel built by expert hands, after all, Turkish Pipemakers are true artists.
I thank you infinitely for letting me enter your wonderful MeerschaumMarket, we will certainly meet again in the future.

Kind regards,

Claudio.

From my first call to delivery my experience has been extraordinary. The owner of this great small business answered the phone and answered all my questions. Delivery of my first IMP pipe was very timely with great notifications. The IMP pipe ordered was indeed of the highest quality so I ordered a second one! Both are great. I would not hesitate in purchasing anything from Meerschaum Market…. Truly outstanding!

Delighted customer,

Burak,

 
The pipe arrived at it is absolutely stunning. Gorgeous. Detailed craftsmanship. I am very impressed. Thank you. 

 

Oh heavens yes! I realize your pipes come at a premium price, but wow, so worth it. 
 
I will admit to trying to purchase other meerschaum pipes from small sellers on eBay and have been very disappointed — photos can be enlarged, and the ones that have arrived — for well over $100 USD — have been tiny. They feel like they have been ‘printed.’ My son (25) thought they might be made of plastic. 
 
I will set them aside and remember our times in chat, and your honesty and integrity, and please, if you ever need yet another reference, I am totally great with this. This is a pipe to hand down to future generations.

Several weeks in and I keep reaching for the IMP Meerschaum. It smokes so well. I look at all these briar pipes and wonder what I was thinking! I am incredibly happy and thankful for your counsel.

Hi Burak,

 

I received new pipes, thank you.

It feels like on this factory somebody still actually smoke pipes and they know what they are doing.

Also I pleased with their quality. 

 Everything made carefully, all holes centered.

 Thank you again.

Hi Burak,

 

Thank you very much for the terrific job you did on my two most recent pipes and for the gift of the red Italian acrylic stem. I’m grateful beyond words. The pipes are perfect and the extra red stem makes the TEKIN more beautiful than I expected. Burak, your customer service skills and business acumen are always top-notch. I couldn’t ask for better service and nicer pipes than those you offer. It’s always my pleasure to do business with you. Of course, I’ll be offering you more new business in the future.

 

Have a great rest of your week and a nice weekend ahead. Thank you, again!

Hey Burak,

Surprise, I bought the Saber Tooth Pipe based on a very sharp eye. My mother gave me Christmas money this year since it can be hard to gift me, and I told her I would put that money towards a tobacco pipe. After she found out I was buying a pipe, she wanted to see the one I was getting, and she got goosebumps from how beautiful it was. Later that day, while we were looking at your amazing collection of pipes, the Saber Tooth one began calling out to her, so she told me she found the Saber Tooth Pipe and fell in love with it, so later that day, I decided I would buy it and gift it to her even though she does not smoke due to health. Thanks to your awesome service, carrying on the family tradition, and love for the artist and their pieces, I placed the order just a few minutes ago. Thank you so much for the beautiful family time you helped bring to us; we spent hours looking at them and had a blast doing it. I hope this email finds you doing well when you receive it, and I look forward to possibly stopping by and maybe meeting you when I am eventually in the Virginia area. 
 
Gratefully,

Hi Burak, 
 
I recently ordered some Teflon inserts for an older meerschaum and they're great! Better fit and draw than the original. The IMP reverse calabash you helped me get is coming along great and is a regular favorite!

Hi Burak,

I received my order today (the Australian postal service is very slow). Thank you so much for the order, especially for the lovely hand written note. I’ll be test driving the pipe tomorrow, and posting photos of it on Pipe Smokers Forum, which I am a member. I’ll tell them of the excellent service and products.

Regards,

One day Later ;

I just smoked it for the first time, and it’s better than I expected. I think I found my forever friend.

Sir/ma'am
 
I hope you and your company had a great Thanksgiving and are enjoying the holidays. I'm writing this email to thank you for the hand written letter I received with a pipe I purchased recently. I ordered a beautiful SRV Billiard pipe just a few weeks ago from your site, this is my second pipe I've purchased from your site so i was actually quite surprised that when i opened the box, alongside my pipe was a hand written letter. When i read the letter I couldn't believe someone would take the time to write that for me and it really tickled me to see it. I cannot thank you enough for this little service you gave me and it showed me just how much you all care about each pipe you send out. I'm not sure if you are able to contact the carver of the pipe, but if you can, I really want to thank them to for the time and effort they put into this beautiful work of art (a picture of the pipe is attached for reference). I planned on writing this as soon as i saw the letter but the holidays got a bit crazy so that's why this letter is late. Thank you so much again and I wish you a blessed holiday season.

Hi Burak, I want to thank you for the wonderful pipe that you have sent me. The imp pipe is the finest pipe I have ever purchased. The quality of the meerchaum is just unbelievable. The acrylic stem is just beautiful. I have purchased half a dozen pipes from you over the years and have never taken the time to thank you. The first pipe I'd like to thank you about is the one pictured below. The smoke that it produces with its 9 mm filter is just fantastic I love it it is the smoothest pipe. Doing business with you is always a pleasure between your kindness and your instant shipping it's just a breeze. The next pipe I would like to review and thank you for is the reverse Calabash I just received. This is the most amazing smoke I think I've ever experienced. There's no doubt the quality of this pipe is unmatched. So much so my son has adopted it. I am currently waiting on another pipe from you which is due here tomorrow. I will also review that one. Also let me say that several years ago I ordered two billiards from you, one you had custom made for me the other was inventory. Those pipes were just incredible they are works of art. I don't believe there's any other place to purchase meersham pipes then from you. If anybody should purchase it some of the location you're making a mistake. I am partial to imp pipes but the other pipes that Burak sells are also top quality. I thank you for your kindness and I will be buying all of my pipes from you in the future

Greeting to all, I wanted to join the other reviewers in offering my thanks for the fast delivery, solid email communications about the shipping schedule and of course the quality of the pipe. I ordered the Eagle Claw by Kudret and as an old ivory carver myself, my hat is off to the craftsmanship. I am overjoyed with my purchase and I am looking forward to years of quality cool smoke. Worth every penny. And yes Burak, the hand written notes are cool too. Regards

dear Burak…

 
the Chacom pipe is a marvel; the finish (carbone) is a complete mystery to me.  I love it.   it’s one of the better smokers I have bought in the last year.   I have another Chacom, an atlas bent apple in yellow/black that is also a mystery finish, and a great smoker.    wonderful pipes.

I wanted to reach out and express my gratitude for the beautiful pipe! It is truly a work of art. It came in such a timely manner, that it arrived even sooner than the tobacco I had ordered the same day. The fact that Burak includes a handwritten note is above and beyond anything expected from a company nowadays, and you have a loyal customer from here on out. Since this is my first pipe, I can't wait to build my collection!

As particular as I am about pipes, I am also particular about the business that I support. It took several days to scan through the variety of beautiful pipes listed at Burak’s site. Hard to choose but I was looking for a specific pipe that I just couldn’t say “no” to. I found it but was curious about the possibility of a different stem for this pipe. I spoke with Burak who informed me that the stem on this pipe was custom made for the pipe. It’s not that I didn’t like the stem that was on the pipe as much as checking out options. I ordered the pipe as it was and it arrived in a few days. It’s exactly what I wanted but Burak had a surprise for me. He sent a hand written note explaining that he had modified the stem I was asking about to fit the pipe I ordered. So I received the pipe with its original stem plus the modified stem …. all at no additional cost. That is above & beyond customer service. Burak’s desire to produce a product that will be treasured is why I enjoy his pipes and great customer service. (A hand written note. Who does that anymore)

Thank you, Burak. I know where to find my next treasured pipe.

Hello Burak.

 
I wanted to take the time to tell you how much I appreciated you shipping my pipe so fast! I LOVE IT!
It is so beautiful and smokes so nicely. I had a nice 30 minute smoke yesterday and loved every minute of it.
These pipes are of outstanding quality and I will cherish mine always, and so will my son when I pass it on to him someday. 
It was great doing business with you and for anyone out there on the fence about buying one, DO IT. You wont regret it. The pipes are beautiful, offer a perfect smoking experience, and the customer service is outstanding!

Burak,
 

I purchased a dimpled calabash meerschaum pipe about a few months ago.  I love it and smoke it daily. I saw your knurl design pipe stem. I thought it would set off the meerschaum pipe quite well.  See the picture. A gorgeous pipe!  You have great products and great service. I will add to my collection from Meerschaum Market again soon, I hope.  

Thanks.

The one pipe I have been missing in my collection is a decent meerschaum. So, I pulled the trigger on this meerschaum pipe from IMP ordered from Meerschaum Market. I wanted to give a shout out to Burak. He was very helpful in answering all my questions and made this a very pleasant experience. I would recommend him highly. I will report back with my thoughts after I've had a chance to make a fire in the new pipe.

Dear Burak, 
 
I don’t know if you remember me. I bought these two beautiful pipes, Old Man Smoking A Meerschaum and Don’t Tread On Me, as a surprise for my son’s 40th birthday and posted my review under my middle name, Marie, to make totally sure he would not find out about it. 
 
As the big day, February 4th, drew closer, I could hardly contain my excitement. When it finally arrived and he opened his gift, SUCCESS! He was totally surprised and could not believe it! It was a truly unexpected gift, and he was so pleased - and stunned! He admired the intricate carving of the Old Man and was amazed at the “Don’t Tread On Me” pipe!
 
He had friends over the next day, telling them to bring their pipes. They were quite impressed with his beautiful Meerschaums. Seeing him on the deck outside smoking his Meerschaums with his friends . . . wonderful!
 
And I have you to thank for that, Burak. I could never have done this without your patient guidance. Thank you so very, very much! 
 
I am attaching a photo of one happy guy - an “old” man smoking an old man smoking an old man smoking a Meerschaum!

This pipe was supposed to be my last in my meerschaum collection.It came with a stem I did not like. Meerschaum Market replaced the stem for me even though it was not bought from them. They did a wonderful job. You will not find better service any where.The second pipe; I bought from Meerschaum Market. It is carved to look like a bourbon barrel. Now I like bourbon and I like pipes so I had to have it even though I had reached my 5 pipe limit. Once again you will not find better service or pipes any where else.

Hi,

I received my order a few days ago and just wanted to say thank you. The order shipped very quickly, and the pipe is amazing. I've had a few meerschaum pipes before, my favorite being an Altinok pipe, however there is no comparison to the smoking quality of this new pipe in comparison to my Altinok. I've been smoking a wet aromatic in this pipe to see how it would handle the moisture, and the bottom of the bowl has been bone dry each time I've smoked it. Just amazing. Very cool smoking, and the workmanship is incredible. Stem fitting is perfect. Carving and stem work/.color is perfect. I also like how the draft hole is slightly above where the pipe cleaner goes through the stem, so that during a smoke the pipe cleaner doesn't come into contact with the soft meerschaum into the bowl of the pipe during the smoke. That took some thought to plan that out and I can tell you it makes a big difference.

I will no longer order from other companies. The price seemed high when I bought this, but I did, based on reviews- I now understand the price since I've experienced this smoke. Thank you for the workmanship, and for any other meerschaum pipes I order I will only order yours, and will recommend your pipes to others. Job well done and I am so appreciative.

Thanks again,

Jon Hamrick, Cedar Hill, TN, USA - Jan 07 2022

Thank you for the very nice pipe.  I'm sure you have photo's on file of when the pipe
was un sold and brand new.  the pictured attached don't do the pipe much justice though.
It's darker in real life but thought I would like to share these photos with you.

And, indeed, you offer this in spades along with your one of a kind service and attention to detail. I congratulate you my friend along with your team, and again, thank you.
 
I would like to mention for those who may not be too familiar with the product - the XL Calabash Pipe mahogany wood with fitted case. I now have a wonderful assortment of your Meerschaum pipes but I must say that this particular Calabash pipe - the XL Calabash - is my favorite. You may recall that I wrote to you wondering if you planned to add this particular Calabash to your list once again. You responded right away and I am now very happy to say, thanks to you, that I will soon be in possession  of my second XL meerschaum mahogany pipe. Thank you again, Burak, and I raise a pint of good cheer to you, your team and all the pipe smokers of the world. Keep well one and all.

Hi Burak,

 
I hope you are well.
 
The pipe arrived today and it is very beautiful, thank you so much.
 
I have shown it to my friend and I have recommended you :)
 
I have a question, do you have, or have done in the past, a meerschaum pipe carved with a Scorpion? 
 
Dragon is my Chinese sign and Scorpion is my Western zodiac.
 
If you have some, or have done some before, please let me know.
 
Thank you
 
Kind regards

 Burak,

The pipe (SVR Swirl) arrived in excellent condition, and I have been smoking it several times every day.  When I am enjoying a bowl I feel as if this pipe was designed and carved just for me.  It feels that perfect.

I hope you and your loved ones are well and continue to stay that way.

I had ordered a meerschaum pipe from Meerschaum Market which looked great. I received the pipe which looked exactly as advertised and I was very satisfied with it. Unfortunately, the stem on it cracked on my first use. From the research I’ve done, it seems like this is a very rare scenario but it does happen. In any case, I reached out to Meerschaum’s email address and was rapidly answered asking how I would like to proceed by Burak.

 

I very much liked the style of the pipe and so I asked if we could have another made and Burak had a new one made and shipped to me at no extra cost. Pretty much always responsed when I followed up with him regarding the order. This is exemplary customer support.

 

Closing thoughts: if you’re buying from Meerschaum Market, you can be sure that if something goes wrong about the product your purchased they will do their best to make it up to you.

Hi I received my Giant Greenman meerschaum pipe from meerschaum market a few days ago and wanted to say thank you, the pipe is more beautiful in person than the pictures. I have a question about meerschaum, can you tell me what the difference is between pressed and block meerschaum, and how do I know before buying a pipe if the pipe is pressed or block meerschaum? I will be buying more pipes from you ( your customer service was teriffic) and want to be informed as best as possible . Thanks .... A. Carillo - New York, USA - April 25 2019

I received my pipe today. I'm in love!!! You, Sir, are a master craftsman! I'm super pleased with the pipe. I'm smoking it as I type. It's a bit larger bowl than the Stanwell 162 briar but is much lighter. It's perfect in every way. I have my eye on a Rodesia, or the all white pipe like the one I just bought but will have to wait until my bank account recovers. I will definitely be buying more of your pipes. Thank you so very much in all of your help in my purchase. Take care and and please continue your level of quality. I will be buying more.

The pipe arrived yesterday. It is magnificent. The workmanship is the best I've ever seen and the stone you used is exceptional. I've already put two half bowls through it. The draw is smooth and easy. I particularly like the deep bend stem that you used. It makes the pipe very comfortable to smoke. I know you put a lot of work into this one and you should know that I greatly appreciate it. This pipe will have a pride of place. Thank you so much for the effort you put into it.

Burak,

 

The pipe is absolutely beautiful! I presented it to the commander this past week-end at a very famous historical monument and he was elated. He opened the box and knew immediately what it was. The surprise in his voice was priceless. He said he had been looking for one for on of these for years. He looked like he was making love to it as he held and smoked it. I have never seen him so happy. Thank you. Would you be interested in making another? I too have been looking for a pipe like this for years. 

 

Thank you

I seldom go to great lengths in writing a referral unless the experience that I have had vastly exceeds my expectations. My experience with Burak and Meerschaum Market demands my time to tell my friends.

 

I am relatively new to the pipe smoking community. I dabbled a bit with pretty but cheap briar pipes and had a less than stellar experience. My wife gave me my first high quality briar pipe for Christmas and I began to understand the difference. My tobacconist kept encouraging me to explore a meerschaum for the ultimate experience. I admit that I was a bit hesitant because of the price difference. 

 

When I began my exploration, I quickly discovered that there were three basic tiers, in my perception, of these pipes. The low end pipes could be found for a very cheap price, and they marketed that way. I discounted these because I know you get what you pay for. The ultra high end collector pipes were way out of my range or desire. So where do I go to find my perfect pipe. If I had a good friend with some experience, I would ask him. If you find yourself in this place, let me be that friend.

 

Meerschaum Market (meerschaummarket.com) has beyond a doubt the best selection of pipes I found. I do not do these creations justice by calling them pipes. They are art pieces that even nonsmokers marvel at. The detail on the pipe is amazing, both from a general view perspective and also close scrutiny. My Navy meerschaum has anchors on it, and close study shows they each have a detail of cracked leather behind them. The selection is amazing. I had to really think about what memory and thoughts I wanted to elicit while smoking this pipe. When I found the US Navy commemoratives, I knew one of these would be the one.

 

The pipes themselves are expertly made. Their feel and draw are impeccable. The specialized case is very nice, and makes seeing your pipe for the first time a memorable experience. The shipping process is seamless and efficient, even though my pipe came from Turkey. It shipped and arrived far sooner than I had initially expected.

 

My Meerschaum Market pipe immediately became my favorite, and while I initially thought it would be my only meerschaum, I now am considering a second piece. I guess some people have tattoos, I have pipes. Perhaps the highest praise for Burak and Meerschaum Market is the fact that I have introduced my lifelong friend to the store, and am planning to gift him a pipe as a token of my heartfelt brotherhood with him. You only go 1st class when you want to express feelings like that.

 Thanks Burak.

I ordered a pipe with a skull and octopus tentacles from you and I was skeptical to order, however my pipe was shipped to me all the way from Turkey in less than a week. Fantastic delivery time, and I couldn't be happier with the pipe itself. It's beautifully carved and the case it comes in is of a higher quality than I expected as well. This alone was enough to satisfy me and upon my VERY FIRST SMOKE I have never smoked a finer bowl of tobacco. You should be very proud of your craftsmanship and I applaud you, because I am very proud to own one of your pipes and I will definitely be ordering from you the next time I want a meerschaum pipe and will be recommending you to anyone who asks.

Thank you very much!

Hello All,
 
This email is for all you Cigar Smokers and Pipe Smokers as well.
 
The attached photos and the ones in the links are photos from start to finish of custom made cigar holders, per my design… These were made for me by Burak owner of Meerschaum Market.
 
I sent Burak photos of the design that I wanted for my cigar holders and explained what I wanted in a cigar holder.
 
Burak listened very carefully to what I wanted and paid attention to what I was looking for in the final product.
 
Burak did an outstanding job in executing the hand carving of the cigar holders from the Finest Block Meerschaum to finishing them with a beeswax polish coating to give them the perfect look, then putting them in a handmade box - case for display and travel.
 
The level of attention to detail that Burak executed in making these cigar holders for me went well above what I expected and as you all know I have very high standards, the photos do not do the cigar holders any justice, as they are stunning in person. Burak's standards are just as high as mine and you can see it in the product.
 
I initially wanted smooth holders, then Burak asked me if it was ok to make smooth, rusticated as well as one with an intricate design, I am very happy that I said yes…as you know it is harder to rusticate a cigar holder or pipe and put an intricate design than it is to make it smooth one.
 
As you can see by the work, very careful attention to detail was paid and they all look great.
 
 
The cigar holders, stems (mouthpiece) and cases were all made by hand, as I even wanted special stems for my cigar holders.
 
I cannot thank Burak enough for the time and effort that he put into making me the Cigar Holders, Stems and Cases.
 
What is great about dealing with Burak is he not only pays attention as well as listens to what you want he keeps you posted with emails and phone calls. Burak really went out of his way to let me know how the project was going.
 
Not only was Burak professional and courteous, he is extremely knowledgeable about meerschaum as well as knowing what will work, in addition he is willing to push himself to the limit in making something that literally can be used forever.
 
Since only the finest block meerschaum used,  as well as the finest materials to make the stems and boxes in addition to being carefully hand made for me…I though it only fitting to use some of the finest items to go with the Cigars Holders that Burak so kindly made for me.
 
The lighters and cutters rage from antique to vintage…
 
The Elephant Tusk Cutter is solid and an antique, you cannot get one anymore. The other cigar cutters are from Tiffany Sterling Silver (Handheld), Dunhill Sterling Silver (Cutter - Box Opener, Circa 1949), Cartier (Antique) and S.T. Dupont Ligne 2 Montparnasse Vertical Line (Vintage).
 
The Lighters are an S.T. Dupont Ligne 2 Montparnasse Vertical Line (Vintage), a Tiffany Wheel Lighter, Sterling Silver (Antique) and a Dunhill Lift Arm Sterling Silver Lighter (Antique).
 
The leather cutter holders were made by Eddie Hubbard of Hubbard Leather Works and thanks for making them for me Eddie.
 
The Cigars are all "Vintage" as well, the Cohiba are first issue, the Partagas is a Serie 4, the Romeo and Julieta are 1994 Special Edition and as you can see, the Cigar Holders hold each one perfectly.
 
Here are all the links to the photos so you can view them at full size.
 
If you want a copy of my Cigar Holders feel free to order them or if you want your own design Burak can make them for you and if you like the stock designs, feel free to look at them on the website, I know you will be happy with them, as I am happy with mine.
 
Feel Free to contact Burak as he makes cigar holders, pipes (for all you Brothers look at the Masonic Pipe) even a cheroot - cigarette holder for you, I know you will be very happy with the finished product.
 
The Best Regards to All,

Bacchus by Master L. Baglan
 
What You See.
 
When I was shopping for the las few pipes that I wanted to purchase in my life, (some beautiful meerschaums), I was not at all interested in a Bacchus model.  Hundreds of thousands have been made, and thousands are on the market at any one time if one shops.  Large, small, barely decorated, highly decorated, distastefully decorated, balanced, unbalanced, mostly with too large a smoking chamber, very often with a difficult draw or difficult to clean, (of course with the usual discriminatory remarks concerning the fact that Muslim people don't smoke, and so don't realise what the problems can be ), or made of a block of meerschaum that is of poor quality or poorly treated which doesn't color beautifully.  However, when I came across the detail photos of this pipe by Master Bachlan, (and I say "Master" with great reverence !) on Meerschaum Market's Website my eyes just simply stopped !  There was not a millimeter on the surface of this pipe that had not been thought about carefully !  The openings between the grape leaf crown on his head, and (there is a complete Mermaid carved onto the bottom of the pipe), between the Mermaid's tail to keep this large pipe light are not only beautiful, but smart and very decorative.  The carving is absolutely amongst the most exquisite I have ever seen on a pipe.  From the details of Bacchus's face, (beard, teeth, eyes, even the wrinkles in the corners of his laughing eyes), are an absolute joy !  And I hasten to mention the detail in the grape leaves, the grapes, (which offer a well planned place to hold the pipe, as are the Mermaid's tail or the Mermaid's body), the scales on the Mermaid, her beautiful hair, and beautiful breasts which are discreetly covered with detailed scallop shells .Even the rim of Bacchus's cap has lovely carving all the way up to the bowl opening.  The only area left clear of decoration being a ring just before the mouthpiece starts where the Master has placed his name, which is itself lovely, being a true signature and not a stamp or just initials .
 
What You Get.
 
What you get is a large block of beautifully carved meerschaum,( as described above), which one has to be careful not to throw into the air when one picks it up for the first time, because one expects it to be much heavier than it is ! Even if one has experience wi meerschaum pipes !  The balance is wonderful, and I have discovered at least five ways in which to hold the pipe which I am now SURE were thought about by Master Baglan when he made this piece of smokable art. In the four months that I have now had the pipe, I have smoked several types of tobacco in it as meerschaums do not "ghost" or hold on to the flavours of previously smoked tobaccos.  And that is certainly true for this pipe !  I have smoked it as many as four times in an afternoon and evening, and it never gets wet or hot.  And as clumsy as one might try to be with filling a pipe, this lovely man just seems to smoke from top to bottom 99% of the time ! The smoke is cool.  The bowl never gets hot, so if one chooses to use a glove or not, there is little danger that the beeswax coating will be damaged by handeling.
 
As far as colouring goes, I must say that I have been very pleasantly surprised by this gentleman. With such a large piece of meerschaum, one does not expect to see much in the way of colouring for a long time.  And yet, in these passt fout months, the entire pipe, including the front of the grape leaf crown, which has only partial physical connection with the actual bowl, as there is an opening between Bacchus's head and the front of the crown, has turned a stunning pinkish orange, with the darker tints being around the back where the mouthpiece enters, (usual), and, amazingly, the front of the grape leaf crown !!!  The funny part being that Bacchus is still "white around the eyes" whichif it stays lighter than the rest in the colouring process, may turn out to be an indication that our friend really has had too much to drink !!!!!
 
In conclusion, all that I can really say to my fellow pipe enthousiasts is that I feel "blessed" to have this pipe, and that I'm sorry that "this was one of the ones that got away" for the rest of you good folks !  I shall cherish it for the rest of my days, and have already told my son to make sure that it goes to someone who will appreciate it when I have turned it a beautiful colour and finally closed my satisfied eyes !  Do have a look at the work of Master Baglan !  He is a GENUINE ARTIST !!!!!

Greetings & Salutations Mr. Burak! The Ashley arrived in perfect condition this afternoon! I knew the pipe would be magnificent in person as opposed to the photographs, and I must say that it is truly stunning in my hands. The pipe is almost too beautiful to smoke! If you have occasion to speak with Mr. Sevket in the future, then please express my profound respect and thanks for his craft and skill(s)! The Ashley will be cherished in my family for generations to come! 

Thank you again Mr. Burak for all of your hard work and patience while I decided which pipe to purchase! You are also a credit to your profession, and doing business with you has been a rare pleasure. I will give you another update in a few days after having smoked the pipe several times. We are socked in with winter weather right now, or I would have the Ashley fired up while I write this note (we do not smoke inside our home). Keep up all of your good works!

Hi Burak,

 

I just wanted to follow up with you.  I received my Emin apple shape pipe with the extra stem and connectors.  The pipe is excellent, exactly what I expected!  It’s actually already starting to color nicely.  The smoothness and perfect shape of the pipe are excellent and just what I was looking for in contrast to the figural pipe and Marine Corps pipes you’ve made for me in the past.  Thank you again for the great product.  I’ll be in touch soon enough when I find my next pipe on meerschaummarket!  I’ve got my eye on a cobra by Baglan and some IMPs.  If you carve any more USMC pipes without coloring them I’ll look for those too.

 

Thanks and have a great day!

 I recently received my order of the "Horror Horn" from Ismael Baglan and I just wanted to thank you fine people for the beautiful pipe and super wonderful service! I cannot believe how beautiful and well made this pipe is and the shipping all the way from Turkey is incredible. I recently ordered from Meerschaumstore.com and have had nothing but problems and it took them 2 months to ship me 3 pipes. I'll never order from them again. Your fine establishment has earned my future business and I'll tell all of my friends about you. Please, Please thank Mr. Baglan for me for the wonderful smoking piece. I know that carving can be tough and unappreciated , but it means alot to me. I have always admired his work from afar and he was the reason that I bought my first pipe from you folks in first place. Thanks and have a great day.   Robert Depew  MI USA

There was a knock at my door today and it was the DHL man with my pipe! WOW! Talk about fast shipping and delivery. I opened the package and pulled the closed case out and thought it was large. I opened the case and wow again, what a gorgeous pipe. Amazing, wonderful, large, no huge! I certainly am going to buy again. You did all you said you would and more. Thanks for helping me aquire a most wonderful pipe. I probably will just display it for a while, it is breath taking! Thanks for the fact sheet that describes all of the important things one needs to know when handling one of your magnificent pieces of art. Thanks again. Mike, Texas, USA.

HI Burak,

Wanted to let you know that the pipes arrived yesterday. I also wanted to express my thanks for the pipe stands and more importantly I wanted to tell you that the pipes are absolutely amazing. The quality is unmatched in any pipe I have ever owned. They are something I will keep forever and will proudly display and tell everyone who asks me about them as to where they are from and who sold them to me.

I hope that I have the opportunity to thank you in person someday in the not too distant future.

Best regards and thanks again, - Bill  - USA

Hi Burak,
 
It wouldn’t let me leave a review?  So please use as you see fit.
 
I just wanted to let you know that the pipe I received was a Father’s day gift and the quality is amazing.  I absolutely love it and when using it for the first time on Father’s day, it smoked great!!!  I have received many compliments and Burak answered all my questions with regard to the pipe quality, the stem, etc.  I couldn’t be happier and Burak stands by his products!!  I would highly recommend buying a pipe from Burak and the Meerschaum market.  I am already looking at what pipe to get next as well as a pipe to give as a gift to a friend. 
 
Robert
 
P.S.  The pipe smoked awesome tonight.  I love how easy it draws when smoking and I never had to relight it. :)  I will be in touch for another pipe.  Robert Lopez , Powder Springs, Georgia - USA

Sir-

I just received both the large Meerschaum pipe and its case (plus the nice attached info card.) -- All was in absolute mint condition, was received promptly and undamaged. Needless to say, I am really quite delighted with both the pipe and your refreshingly prompt, excellent professional service!

In a nut shelI, I absolutely love this pipe. It is an outstanding, portable, work of art. Moreover, the pipe is not only extremely beautiful, but most importantly, it smokes like a dream. Therefore, of course, I look forward to doing much more business with you!

For your information, I've been very seriously collecting Meerschaum pipes (among others) now for many years; I am the most fond of pipe designs which incorporate --most importantly-- a nice, LARGE bowl. With that in mind, I also seriously collect long, (8-12+ inch) bent-stem "Churchwarden" pipe shapes, always with large bowls; I still have yet to find a decent Meerschaum Churchwarden pipe of any kind, let alone ones employing a decent-sized bowl. Furthermore, I am very fond of fanciful, detailed geometric patterns; employing carved themes, places or figures from Classical Greek/Roman Mythology, or even utilizing J.R.R. Tolkien's classic British epic books/mythology related to "Lord of the Rings". Therefore, I'd love to buy at least several interesting Meerschaum pipes, all with a large bowls, offered as a bent Churchwardens.

Thank you again, so very much! :-D

Most Sincerely,
-- Michael Hart
Volant, Pennsylvania

Trust you are keeping well. The calabash and King Tut pipes arrived to me today safely. Very quick indeed! Many thanks. They are very very beautiful and looking forward to using them. The Holmes and Watson smoke beautifully. I am new to Meerschaum after many years smoking brier pipes. Meerschaum are much much better! A drier smoke with the real taste of the tobacco shining through. You can be assured that I will buy from you again in the next few months. Again many thanks indeed and will be in touch when I need my next pipes.

Hi,

 

Just to say I received my pipe today and was thoroughly impressed. Even the salesman where I went to buy tobacco was impressed (he have not seen a fancy pipe like that before).

 

I can, however, give a few suggestions to your site. This the first time I smoked (and I enjoyed it by the way). I have tried 4 cigars in the past but other then secondhand smoke have never smoked before. I got a lot of info from youtube concerning smoking pipe thus at least it was not  a strange experience to relight it a few times or problems with the packing. Thus info for a beginner is always highly appreciated.

Also the tools. With my tobacco I bought a folding pipestand, tooll for packing and pipe cleaners. Maybe you can also sell these on your site?

 

Also I appreciate it that you have send me the tracking number. It was easy to find out if it has arrived and where to fetch it from my local post office.

 

I am thinking of a churchwarden also so I should probably return to your site in a few months.

 

Regards,       xxxxxx   xxxxxxx   USA

Hi, I received my pipe today. I love it to death. I was gonna keep it in the clear wrap and make myself suffer till a special occasion coming up before I unwrap it and smoke it. Should the clear wrap be taken off soon? Will it hurt the pipe if it's left on? This will be for a good month before I unwrap it. Thank you again for my beautiful pipe!

Hello,
I recently purchased a Pocket Calabash from you and received earlier this week. I bought it from your website "Meerschaum Market" and was wondering how to leave you feedback. You all deserve my highest praise for such a quality pipe. From the moment of unboxing to the first smoke this pipe has delivered at every end. It has excellent air flow and smokes so cool allowing you to really enjoy the many subtle flavors that can me masked or distorted with a lesser pipe. I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with doing business with your company. You shipping was incredibly fast and efficient and the end products speaks for itself......pure quality. I look forward to doing business with you in the future and if there is a way I can leave positive feedback for you on ebay (even though I bought from the online store) please let me know!

He served 3 tours in Vietnam and teaches military strategies to new soldiers that serve our country (to this day)....He is a wonderful man and I am so grateful that I could get him such a wonderful gift as the one you provided for me. I have never seen him happier and I thank you from my heart.

 I'm sorry it's taken so long to provide feedback on my purchases. But there was a small mix up in the shipping address and it was shipped to my parents and i didn't want to thank you until i actually received them. i got them in the mail today and they were both as beautiful as i expected them to be. The Chinese wise man was much larger than i expected and the half bent plain was smaller than i expected but even so i'm still very satisfied with my purchases and i cant wait till another one catches my eye

Burak and Mr. Baglan,
May I say I was rendered speechless upon opening the pipe case! The carving a definite labor of love. I am embarrassed of my "best offer" and Mr. Baglan's work is worth every penny charged! My husband has a few other meerschaum pipes, one brought back from a trip to Turkey, and NONE of them can hold a flicker to this beautiful piece of art! He too will be speechless come Christmas morning! Thank you for a great shopping experience and you and Mr. Baglan will be the only choice when we further his meershaum pipe collection!
Best Regards,
Sheryl Greene   Summerville SC   , United States

Thank you very much Burak. I received the pipe today, and everything seems to be in order. It's a beautiful pipe. I've seen several of this type (elephant with the stem as it's trunk), and this one definitely stood out from the rest. The detail and craftsmanship is wonderful, and as you said, the pictures don't do it justice it's truly a work of art. I've already given it a smoke and it does give a nice cool, dry smoke, and the ears - perhaps unintentionally - act as a sort of nice, cool handle. Please give Mr. Baglan my regards, and I hope to do business with you again.
Sincerely,

Burak,

Ijust received my pipe bowl today 1-21-2013. I am VERY pleased with it, it fits like a glove and smokes very well. I am shocked with the 4 day turn around. I just paid for the bowl last thursday 1-17-2013 and I received it today, that was fast. I would also like to thank you again for all the help that you have given me. If I buy any meerschaum pipe or bowl it will be from you.
You have made me very happy. I also have left you great feed back on E-Bay.
Thanks again, Jessie   Phoenix AZ  USA

Not a question; I just wanted to express to you my appreciation over our transaction. The pipe was not as advertised - it was even more amazing. You should have given me some frame of reference on size. And it got to me in San Francisco in only 4 days.

This was probably the best transaction I have ever had on eBay. I will recommend you to friends and always be appreciative.

Sir,
Received the pipe today. I merely wanted to let you know that I am completely pleased with it - very proud of it. This has to be the Meerschaum
of Meerschaum pipes. I bought it to smoke, but admiring it now I'm not sure. It may go on display with some other Meerschaum pipes. Don't know yet.
It is one pretty pipe.
Thank you.

Burak,


I received the pipe before the weekend, and it looks and feels better than what I could have imagined from the pictures. I will be presenting it to my father this week on his birthday and am very excited about seeing the expression on his face. I hope he enjoys smoking it too.

Thanks again for everything,

Hello there--

Please allow me to start by saying that in owning and smoking this pipe for a few months now, I have come to cherish it very much. Of course, it is a pleasure to smoke from, but it is quite apparent from the elegant and PERFECT consistency of the finish that whoever carved it put a tremendous amount of effort, love, and creativity into crafting it.

That said, I would very much like to enjoy this incredible work of smoking art for many years to come. So, I am wondering--how would you recommend taking care of the mahogany to insure that it does not crack, come apart at the seams where the wood changes, or lose color over time?

Also, I noticed you sell spare meerschaum bowls in your shop. Which size is most appropriate for this particular pipe?

Thank you and please advise,

~Alex

Hello my friend. I hope this email finds you well. I received my pipe last Friday, August 30th. It is amazing!  I haven't smoked out of it yet. Every time I take it out I just look at it in awe. It is an awesome pipe, a work of art, and worth every second of the wait. I want to say thank you again.  I tell someone almost everyday about you and your business. I also tell them about you honesty and integrity.  I will check back in with you after I smoke the pipe. I need to get a really good tobacco, something I haven't tried yet. Thank you again, Burak. Talk to you soon,
Shannon NY,NY USA

I got the replacement pipe today. Thank you very much for your prompt attention and speedy service. I have never seen such rapid service from anyone. You are a man of your word and obviously a trustworthy businessman. Your reputation will stay with you all of your life and I will always give you a glowing 5 star recommendation concerning the way you do business. The pipe is almost an exact recreation (with a few discrepancies). Again, thank you very much Burak.

Burak...the dragon head pipe came yesterday. I let the package warm up overnight and opened it today. Please tell Ismael Baglan "thank you" for his beautiful work. I have now purchased Meerschaums from 3 people on Ebay. The reason that I prefer dealing with you is that you show the exact pipe that I am buying, and you show plenty of pictures from every angle, top, bottom, front, sides, etc. Thank you also for the extra fittings that you mailed in a box, and the ones with the new pipe. I will anxiously wait to see pictures of the new smoky mouth dragon pipe signed by I. Baglan. Best regards, Philip Brady

Hi Burak, the pipe arrived this morning at 7:00 a.m., Tuesday. It is awesome, trul beautiful. Mr. Baglan does a super job and the bee's wax finish with patina really does make the pipes he carves on of a kind. I will have to pick out another to put on my "buy when I get enough money together" list. Thanks my good friend and fine man Burak. Mike …... Brownwood TX USA

Thank you! This pipe is beautiful! I am a poet and my family has a metal sculpture studio, so I well understand craftsmanship. I smoke a pipe occasionally, just to relax. This long stem is in a painting I have from a Swedish artist. I always wondered about long stem pipes. It was nearly impossible to choose a pipe from your selection. I also admire the Goat, Renaissance, Rose, and the simpler Whale pipes. But lions are my favorite animals since childhood. I might purchase another one someday.Cynthia RothMurphysboro IL  USA

What can I say?... It is amazing! Sevket is a true artist - to be able to carve such a pipe is a gift.

Perhaps you will pass on my thanks when you next speak with him.

I will be buying from you again when I saved my cash.

In the meantime, my best wishes and thanks,

Just a short note to let you know that I have received the I. Baglan Pipe earlier this week and as usual I am very pleased with the pipe. The details in the pipe are exceptional and the pipe smokes very well. The shipping, as usual,  was fast. I will definitely do more business with the Meerschaum Market in the future.

Cheers!!

Pipes just arrived in perfect condition and they are beautiful.  Am sure that my friend will enjoy his Navy pipe.  Packing was excellent and shipping took less than 3 days.  Very impressive.
 
Am still debating with myself the purchase of the 6 remaining pipes that have caught my eye.  I could buy some on October 1 and the others on October 8, but I may have to subtract a pipe.  Is it possible to use my credit card directly and not go through PayPal?  I have to find out if they charge fees for using the credit card.
 
Thank you for the superior service.
 
Gary

Hello Burak,

I received the pipe today. First, let me thank you for the speedy delivery - the shipping was fast. 
Now, the pipe itself - Wow!!!  The photos of the pipe are nice, but they don't do it justice. Seeing the pipe in my hand is, well, awesome!! :):):)
Cheers!!  Mitchell F  - Calgary - CANADA

Dear Burak,

 

I received the Baglan Jester pipe today and photos do not do it justice!  The carving is frighteningly real, the pipe is perfectly balanced, and it smokes beautifully!  You have a fabulous inventory and you have earned my business with your outstanding customer service, quick shipping and excellent products.  Thanks for being a pillar of the meerschaum community - it could use more folks like you!  I'll be in touch very soon.

Dear Burak,

My pipe arrived sagely this morning and i am overjoyed with it. The new stem is perfect. It is exactly what i had in mind.  Thank you so much.

I am travelling to Norway at the week end ( my wife is Norwegian) and i can't wait to take my Turkish viking back to his spiritual home by the Fjords for his first smoke.

Although i have smoked a pipe for about 25 years, this is my first Meerschaum. I feel both excited and slightly intimidated. It is such a beautiful thing, i am terrified of damaging it. Still, now i have it, it has to be smoked!

Once again, thank you so much. I will contact you again when my viking needs a friend.

Hi Burak,

I just wanted to drop you a note to say the pipe arrived safe and sound. Not only is it a stellar looking pipe, but it is a brilliant smoker as well! I just wanted to say thanks for the great service and the fast shipping. I'm a briar lover at heart, but love the smoke a meerschaum pipe gives. I'm on the lookout for a Viking/Norseman styled meer, and if the right pipe comes up, I'll be giving you my custom first. Thanks again for the great service!

Cheers,
Ryan - Kamloops, BC, Canada

Just received my Vine-Yard Meerschaum pipe, and I want to sincerely thank you for working with me as so I could purchase. This is such a beautiful pipe, the artist/carver has done a marvelous work.

I am so pleased the stem is a twist-in, (and NOT a screw that predominately tighten-up out of line).
Very fine creation my appreciations to the maker and seller.

Burak,

 

I received the Caribbean Pirate pipe carved by I. Baglan yesterday and it was a great surprise!  This is my 4th pipe from MeerschaumMarket and it certainly will not be my last.  I was excited to have  paid for it on Monday and I had the pipe delivered on Thursday…thank you for that.  The pipe is excellent, actually bigger than I expected.  The detail in the carving is fantastic!  I have my eye on some other pipes you have listed on eBay and I’ll contact you when I am ready to purchase.

 

I also need to find a good pipe rack to display these pipes when I’m not using them.  It’s hard to find a stand that shows off the artistry of large meerschaum pipes and I’ll keep looking.

 

Thanks again for the great quality product and the fast shipping.  I’ll be in touch. 

 

Thanks and Happy New Year!

Matt & Melanie Walters  HAttiersburg, MS - USA

got it and have smoked a couple of bowls already. Beautiful pipe, my first meerschaum. Amazing carving job, and more than I have spent on my briar pipes (some of which are quite nice). Left great feedback, thanks so much.

 
FYI, I have been to Istanbul once, and I think it is one of my favorite cities in the world. I hope to return someday soon. If you have a shop there I may visit.
 
best regards,
