"I received the ASP pipe of the year 2007 yesterday and had a try last night. It was an unforgettably pleasant puffing experience. It is more beautiful than in the picture; and I found it better than any of my briar pipes: light, easy to handle, provides smooth, dry and cool smoke. It is a pipe well worth waiting. Thanks a lot for making such good pipes for the world."

Lawrence Lin - Beijing, China

David Hall - Bronston, USA

"Finally received my Saxy Dragon. It was well worth the wait! What impresses me the most is the intricate detail in the three oval medallions. The carving of scales, veined wings & fiery breath is exquisite. The pipe is especially suited to my favorite latakia blends. Mr Gezer is true artist."

Leon Crowl - Port Townsend, USA

"The pipe arrived yesterday afternoon. It was well worth the wait. Please thank Sevket Gezer on such a fine creation. My wife was flabbergasted when she opened the custom case and saw what was inside. That is saying something since the vast majority of my pipes she just thinks of as "just another pipe". I am sure that I will get many years of enjoyment from smoking such a fine pipe. Thank you again. Regards."

Mike Miller - Glendale, USA

"Ciao Sinan, VERY FAST shipping and WONDERFUL pipe, more and more beatiful and lighter than how I could have ever immagined it. THANK YOU very much and my best congratulations for your very well done manufactured pipes and your high professionality."

Sevket Gezer knows how to craft a pipe. This is my second Sevket and may not be the last! Doing busines here has also been a pleasure. I shall recommend Altinok Pipes to all who ask, and probably some that didn't! Many thanks to Sinan for taking the time to chat with me online. That too, was a pleasure."

It would take me three hours to finish a full bowl in this pipe! This is not to say I wouldn't enjoy the whole three hours."

Risto Widenius - Helsinki, Finland

Makoto Numata - Kami-cho, Japan

"Just an update: My new pipe is now at the beginning of its coloring process, & is becoming quite seasoned to my favorite tobacco. Now that it has soaked up some of the tobacco juices it is at its best in flavor! This is a wonderful pipe & a beautiful piece of artwork! I will treasure my Altinok pipe for many many years to come!! Please again convey my appreciation to Mr. Medet Kara for his skillful artistry in his creation of my best pipe ever!! I look forward to making another purchase from you in the future...although it will make my decision as to which pipe to smoke a much more difficult one!!! Thank you again from a very happy smoker!!!"

John Sargent - Batesville, USA

"I had a surprise today: The IMP Classic pipe I ordered arrived in the mail. It is a lovely, simple pipe which draws better than any Meerschaum I have yet tried, although not quite as easily as a really well engineered briar. I will use it for trying out new tobacco blends as Meerschaum has less of an after taste than briar."

Seth A Halpern - Santa Fe, USA

"I received my pipes today and they are truly a work of art. I will enjoy smoking them and watching them color. Looking forward to doing bussiness in the future. Thanks!"

Brent Reaves - Carrollton, USA

Robert B Krebbs - Bellflower, USA

"I received my pipe yesterday, & I must say that it is incredibly beautiful!! This is by far the finest meerschaum pipe I have ever owned! I've already smoked several bowls in it, & the pipe smokes wonderfully well! Please pass my thanks & appreciation to your master carver Medet Kara. He created a beautiful piece of art which will be clenched in my teeth for many years to come! Next time I decide to purchase another meerschaum it will again be from Altinok Pipe.com!"

John Sargent - Batesville, USA

"Hello and happy holidays! The pipe arrived on December 24th. What a present. The pipe is a work of art and, of course, I had already a smoke. Very beautiful. Thank you to all of you and you will hear from me soon."

Sarah-Ann Taylor - Virgina Beach, USA

"Mr. Altinok, I am sorry to make you wait for this response I had promised you regarding my purchase. I saw the pipe for the first time just a few days ago, and was very happy to see that it has made my friend very happy - a truly one-of-a-kind gift! The pipe, even more than your website could show, is a true piece of art - well worth the wait and price. The hand-carved merschaum is beautifully ornate, though more yellow than your site's pics show. The whole piece appears very strong, is well balanced, and fits very comfortably in the hand. This pipe (not to mention the excellent hard case!) is of superior quality and looks like it will last my friend a long time. Thank you very much - I am thoroughly satisfied with my purchase and will recommend your online store to anyone who is interested in a high quality smoking piece."

"My IMP lattice carved apple pipe arrived in today's mail. This is my very first Meerschaum pipe and I am truly impressed. It is a beautiful pipe in appearance and my very first bowl of tobacco is smoldering away in the bowl even as I write this. The attention to detail on this pipe is superb. It is extremely well-balanced and exceptionally comfortable to hold in the hand as well as clench in my teeth. I will certainly recommend your site. Thank You!"

Brian S. Richardson - San Angelo, USA

Sergio Martin Gallego - Barcelona, Spain

"My pipe is, perhaps, the most beautiful work of art I have ever seen! My wife of twenty-five years, Judy, was with me when your package was opened and I wish I had a recording of our mutual gasp. Everything was much more than I had hoped for. The magnificent pipe, wonderful case, first-class notes, even the box my pipe was shipped in exuded a first class operation. The only problem I have lies in the fact that I have not yet smoked it. I can’t decide to enjoy my pipe for the reason I bought it or to have it framed!!"

Jefferson P. Hankla - Hoonah, USA

"Dear Mr. Altinok, I want to thank you so much for taking such care with my friend's pipe. I was so happy to have this as a gift for him and am very grateful for your prompt and concerned effort to have his pipe meet his expectations to the best of your ability. I also appreciate your prompt response to our concerns. I am sure this is why you have such a large following of dedicated customers and will continue to have in the future. Thank you so much."

Patricia Cooley - Hemet, USA

"I just recieved my order and it's great. I didn't realize when I bought it that there was an option for a saxaphone stem. If I wanted to buy one now is that an option? Could a second case be made to hold the pipe and saxaphone stem? It is the Wise Chinese pipe. Thanks!"

Jay E Culver - La Porte, USA

"I recieved my pipe today and was very impressed with the craftsmanship! It is a beautiful pipe and was well worth the wait! I will be purchasing more pipes from you in the future. Thank You! :)"

Michael Sheehan - Brooklyn, USA

"Sinan, the pipe arrived yesterday, but I could not get to the post office until today. The pipe is everything I expect from you. It is a beauty. I now have a coloring bowl filled with Luxury Navy Flake atop the pipe, puffing away. Now, I have never been a fan of the poker shape, but you have made an excellent pipe and I am certain that it is going to be one of my favorites.  I now own 3 Altinok meers and I can see having many more. I will at least be getting one of your ASP pipes of the year each year. Thank you so very much for great service and great pipes."

Stephen E Williamson - Shenandoah Junction, USA

"Sinan I recieved my ASP Poker today and am very happy. Thankyou. It was well worth the wait!! Happy Puffin!"

Robert W Hudspeth - Haleyville, USA

"I would like to apologize about my last email I just read the note at the bottom of the pipe page that tells what kind of case they come in. I do however think a pipe of such absolute beauty should come in something other than the ordinary case. I would however like to extend my deepest thanks for the wonderful pipe and also your ever so quick respose to all my emails. You are an absolute wonderful company to deal with. Mr.Gezer is an exqusite artist and I am in awe at his work. I will most certainly be ordering from you again in the future. Thank you so much for your hard work."

Joshua A. Mullins - Gifford, USA

I would have no qualms about recommending your pipes to anyone, and will be submitting another order in due course!"

Derek Brown - Bristol, UK

"Dear Sinan! Everytime I go on your website, I go absolutely crazy! There are so many meerschaum pipes that I would love to buy. Meerschaum is my favorite type of pipe. And I have found that the meerschaum pipes from Turkey are the best! I have checked out over 6 different websites for these pipes, but your site is the very best one of all! And your prices are wonderful and very fair. I had bought a couple of meerschaum pipes a while ago, and they were more expensive, but not nearly as nice as yours. I love the "golfball" type, and the dragon pipes are fantastic. I'm afraid that if I bought one of the naked lady types, my wife would not be happy! ha ha.. I will be saving my money so I can get another one in the future, and I will buy it only from you! Thank you for your wonderful products and your first class service! I am going to display your very nice certificate that you sent with my pipe."

Tom Rosati - La Grange, USA

"Sinan, the pipe arrived safely. Thank you very much! It looks great!"

Walter Reid - Iroquois Falls, Canada

"Sinan, I have just viewed your website, subscribed, and recommended fellow pipesmokers to it for IMP and other pipes. I want to congratulate you on having an excellent website in both design and content. It is surely one of the best there is in the industry and the ultimate for meerschaum pipes."

Gary Yovan - USA

"I received my New Horizons pipe (IM142) today, and it is fantastic. Mr. M. Yilmaz did an excellent job with his hand carving! Your service and website are first class. To anyone looking at your wonderful pipes, I can highly recommend them to you. I will definitely be back. Thank you for your fantastic pipes and service. I will cherish my pipe and one day hand it down to my son!"

Tom Rosati - La Grange, USA

"Sinan, you didn't say a word too much concerning the ASP 2006 Pipe by Mr Sevket Gezer. You
really don't know what you're looking at until you have it in your hands. The most beautiful pipe in my collection without a doubt. I got a real kind of sinking feeling when I opened the case. In the sense that "I don't think that I can buy any more pipes as everything else might seen a disappointment after this." It is so exquisite that I haven't brought myself to smoke it yet. However, it is already quite obvious that it has a wonderful balance and is feather light, and has a very light and free draw. Absolutely first class. Of course, my personal complements to Mr. Sevket Gezer."

Michael H. Barker - The Hague, Netherlands

"Dear Sinan, I have now received both magnificent pipes. The 'Eagle's Claw' and 'Smiling Bacchus'. These pipes are indeed a work of art and finely crafted. I look forward to enjoying these pipes. My sincere thanks to Mr. Kara and Mr. Baglan for carving these wonders. I appreciate your professionalism and time ensuring that these pipes arrived safely and well packaged all the way from Turkey. Thank You!"

Ron Delino - Nederland, USA

"Just arrived from lunch and already opened the package you sent yesterday to me. Thank you my friend. Looking into the IMP pipes I can note the improvement and quality on them, are really much better than the photos on the website."

José António - Lisbon, Portugal

"The Churchwarden Calabash is a joy. Exactly what I was looking for when I ordered it. Light, elegant, nicely decorated but not too fragile as to not be able to "take it around". The balance is excellent, the draw very light. Like I said, just what I wanted. Many thanks. My compliments to Mr Yilmaz for his fine work. It will be a companion for life."

Michael H. Barker - The Hague, Netherlands

Dainis Turaids - Riga, Latvia

"Dear Mr. Altinok, I have received my pipes. Photographs can not do them justice. They are absolutely exquisite. The material, the carving, the mouthpiece, the balance, the ornamentation, (silver rings and so), to say nothing of the way that they smoke, (Top to bottom every time.), are all of the highest quality and the most beautiful workmanship that I have experienced in my entire life. (I'm 55 and I have smoked a pipe since my first year of university when I was 19 years old.) I can't begin to tell you how pleased I am. I've smoked both pipes a few times and there is already the slightest tinge of color beginning to show on both of them. Compared to any of the pipes that I have, these are truly the "jewels" of my personal collection. I would be most happy to recommend your products and service to absolutely anyone! Mr. Altinok, it has been a true pleasure doing business with you. You can be assured that it shall not be the last time! I would be most appreciative if you would convey my kindest regards and thanks to Mr. Altinay for his truly excellent work. And to you Mr. Altinok, again, many thanks for you excellent service and your so very friendly way of doing business. I am truly a satisfied and happy customer. Yours very sincerely."

Michael H. Barker - The Hague, Netherlands

"Greetings Sinan, The pipe arrived yesterday afternoon. Even more outstanding in person than the pictures. After warming up a bit, it is about 15 F here, I was able to enjoy the first bowl. It smokes so nicely. I definitely consider this an excellent addition to my little collection and I look forward to more pipes from you in the future.

David Nott - La Flotte, France

"What a great pipe! It arrived yesterday afternoon and I'm really enthusiastic to put it to use. If this pipe smokes as great as it looks and I believe it will, you will be seeing more orders from me in the very near future. The basic billiard is a nice start but you have so many other beautiful pipes that I hope to be able to own several. Thanks once again and I look forward to additional pipes."

Larry Mansfield - Delta, USA

"Your service and attention so far has been greater than I expected. I am already pleased with my purchase (even before receiving my pipe). I plan on spreading the word around to others who are considering buying a meerschaum pipe to buy from you guys. It is nice to do business with quality people."

Daniel Guzas - Boston, USA

"Dear Sirs, Thank you, thank you! My second raw pipe arrived today with the wax. The meerschaum is beautiful, so smooth and well-refined. I hope I do it justice with my carving! Can't wait to see my next two!"

Kathryn Wagamon - Barboursville, USA

"Two days ago, I received my very first meerschaum pipe - an ME144 that a friend had ordered for me - and I must admit that it's fantastic! The careful delivery, the beauty of that pure, white meerschaum, the incredibly cool and pure smoke... just perfect! This is the first pipe that has given me the tobacco's pure taste... and for such a very low price! Keep up the good work over there in Ankara!"

Vincent Mahy - Ghent, Belgium

"I bought the pipe for my husband for a Christmas gift. I liked it so much that I gave it to him early. He absolutely loves it! He says it's the best pipe he's ever owned. Thank you!"

Maria Nickels - Hill City, USA

"Thank you very much for your wonderful product! The carved pipe is very good and I was very reluctant to actualy smoke it, because it looked like it should be on diplay and not in use. But I have smoked it and continue to do so as it gives me a great pleasure to indulge myself."

"The ASP pipe arrived today. Excellent package and an absolutely gorgeous piece! Thanks."

Ron Austin - Lawrenceville, USA

"My ASP pipe arrived today and I couldn't be more pleased. This is my fourth meerschaum pipe, but I can honestly say that the others do not come close to the beauty and craftsmanship evident in your work. It is the Mercedes Benz of meerschaum pipes. It is substantial and sensuous, an absolute pleasure to hold. The truth is I can't bring myself to smoke it! I have at long last found my meerschaum pipe source. There is no need for me to shop elsewhere. I suspect I will be ordering many more of your pipes over the next few years."

Bob Foster - Williamsburg, USA

"This pipe is beautiful beyond all belief. I have never seen such beautiful workmanship and artistry in a pipe. It is so beautiful I am almost afraid to load it with tobacco and smoke. I may just put it on display... for just a little while. It will be smoked, and smoked proudly. Mr. Gezer is a true artist. Thank you so very much for making these pipes for ASP. Also, the short wait I had was nothing compared to the beauty of the pipe."
