Gonna unbury my thread for a moment...

...yeah, I like Baki pipes and the other suggestions, but price and availability in what I like have been hit-and-miss...

Any opinions on Altinok?

http://altinokmeerschaumpipes.com/

There's some nice prices and options (like the double-stem!) I'm kind of into...
Exact same question has been in my head for awhile Thanks to Kyle I now know where I'll be buying my first meer
 
Cool. I ended up going with IMP (pictured above) and an SMS from my local Tinder Box, however, I hear nothing but good things about Altinok pipes. 8)

Hey, if a seller is still willing to make things right even after you give a positive feedback but leave a small concern (that could have easily been ignored) then that says quite a bit right there.)
Just an update on the saga of my newest meers. Ebay seller meeschaumpipes made good on her promise. I recently received in the mail a package from Turkey and in it was a new meer claw-and-ball churchwarden along with a spare CW stem, which will work with the first pipe that had the too-small stem hole. I sent that one to Dave Wolf and he was able to improve it but the stem profile was too small for him to be able to open it up as much as we wanted. No problems at all with either of the new stems, in fact earlier today I enjoyed a bowl of SG SJF in the small pipe using the new stem.

For anybody that wants to try a meerschaum pipe for less money than Altinook and some of the other highly recommended dealers in this thread you might want to check out meerschaumpipes offerings on Ebay. If my experience is an example of her normal customer service, you will be satisfied.
