ALTINAY MEERSCHAUM PIPES Avis 18

Bellissima pipa in schiuma, comoda e leggera come una piuma, sicuramente ne prenderò altre. Servizio clienti sempre disponibile e spedizione veloce. Consigliato

Extremely impressed by the service and quality. Ordered Tuesday (from Altinay, Turkey) and received via UPS on Friday in the UK. Superior quality carving and very accurate images and specifications provided on the website at a very competative price (free postage too).
I hope and expect to use their services again in the future.

Meerschaum pipes made by Altinay are aesthetically superbs. From classic shapes like Billiard (mine) to Lee Van Cleef calcined models, it is always a work of fine craftmanship.
Moreover, this workshop takes care of their customers , with a very good communication if needed.
Finally, if you live in France, there is no fees or taxes when you order. It goes without saying that the pipe itself is a dream for pipe smokers !
I cannot recommend Altinay enough if you are in search of a very good quality meerschaum pipe.

It´s a shame I can´t give 10 stars but only 5. I would if I could. I was extremely satisfied. Altinay family is just great people. My respect to their awesome craftmanship and good heart!

The best in the business for classic, large meerschaum pipes. Finding high-quality meerschaum in bigger, traditional shapes can be tough, but Altinay consistently delivers stunning examples that are beautifully carved and true to form. I'm genuinely excited to collaborate with them on some custom designs in the future—highly recommend for any serious smoker/collector!

When I was looking for my first meer, Altinay was hands down the most recommended source, and now I know why. After months of waiting, perusing their new stock as it came in, I finally found the one I wanted (I wanted a silver spigot). The fact that it was on a killer sale helped quite a bit! The ordering process was a bit of a hassle (my credit union requiring additional authorization to verify it was me...), but that's not on Altinay. After the order went through, the shipping process was painless and quick--except I had to pay an additional tarriff to UPS before they would deliver, but again, that is due to an orange orangutan, not Altinay. Most importantly, I love the pipe! It is beautiful and smokes great! Definitely exceeded my expectations!

This is my first Altinay pipe and I must say I am more than satisfied. If you are looking for large meerschaum pipes, you will find them at Altinay Pipes. I have been smoking my pipe at least once a day for almost a month now, and the colouring is slowly starting to develop. It is simply a joy to watch.

The delivery to Switzerland also only took two days. Very fast. I have a feeling that a second one will follow soon.

Many thanks to the Altinay team.

I bought my first meerschaum after hearing the good word about Altinay pipes; I had to take the plunge. The customer service was as expert as the pipe I purchased. It is now my favorite amongst the many briars and cobbs I own. I haven't had a bad smoke yet and it's coloring wonderfully. 50 or so bowls in and it's only becoming more wonderful in beauty and purpose. Will be back for more!!

When I went to the Pipe Show in Vegas I was walking thru smoking my favorite pipe. A vendor waved me over excited. SAID ALTINAY a Turkish meerschaum carver. His grandfather carved my favorite. It was exciting for both of us.
We have stayed in touch and Said let me know of a wee Vest Pocket he had produced. I ordered it!
Fun paying for it, I finally accomplished it by international wire transfer.
It arrived today. Here it is with my original favorite.
Grandfather and grandson pipes!
Both high quality and a wonderful company to work with. Said has another in the works which is my type. I look forward to it.

Excellent meerschaum pipes and a great site for spreading meerschaum culture.

First, let me say that Said is a pleasure to work with. Highly responsive, helpful and kind. I had missed an opportunity to purchase a pipe from the website. Said quickly found a similar pipe and allowed me to specify an alternate stem. He also helped me through the purchase process.

The pipe I received is of the highest quality, is beautiful, and is a pleasure to smoke. I would recommend Altinay pipes to anyone without hesitation. Said is passionate about crafting the best product and customer service is a top priority.

I am very satisfied with my Altinay meerschaum pipe. It has excellent craftsmanship and a beautiful carved motif that looks even better in person. It smokes wonderfully and finally gives me the experience I was looking for, which I could not achieve with a briar pipe. I will definitely buy another pipe from Altinay Pipes in the future and can highly recommend their products.

Very friendly contact, rapid delivery and a masterwork, highest quality pipe ! What do you want more ?

Altinay is a first-rate company creating outstanding, high quality meerschaum pipes. Said was a delight to deal with and, through his outstanding
professionalism, he made sure that all aspects of
customer service were done with excellence. For me, it was a very impressive first purchase of an Altinay Pipe. My beautiful, extremely lightweight bamboo meerschaum pipe arrived in only several days. I highly recommend Altinay Meerschaum Pipes! D. Locklair

Not only does Altinay make a beautiful Meerschaum pipe, but mine came well packaged arriving just a few days after ordering. Brilliant pipe and brilliant Service. If you are looking for a bespoke Meerschaum and sensibly priced, then check out Altinay pipes. You won’t be disappointed.

Exemplary service and products of the highest standard. Personally I wouldn't want to go anywhere else,because once you've experienced the best,why would I consider second or third best options?

I bought two pipes. Nice pipes, good price, swift delivery, happy customer !

beautiful craftsmanship, excellent communication, the most beautiful spigot meerschaum pipe on the market, I recommend.
