"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." |

"Hi! Harry here in Ireland. The pipe arrived
safely; it was well worth the wait. On examining the pipe, I
can see that is obviously made by a craftsman who takes
great pride in his work. It only a classical shape pipe
but the symmetry and balance are perfect, and it arrived
just in time for my birthday on Friday. I can see now
that you are not happy until your customers are happy!
Keep up the good work. Regards" |

"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,

"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." |

have just received my "Giant Eagle" after waiting only
four days for the postal services. The pipe is
absolutely gorgeous and deserves pride of place in my
collection. 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." |

"I'm
happy to tell you that the three pipes arrived last week
without any inconvenience. All pipes are wonderfully
carved and a delight to smoke, the largest one, IMP114,
possibly being the coolest smoker with its imposing
proportions. 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 |

"I'm
really enjoying the pipe and am looking forward to my

wanted to let you know that I purchased the "wifes
tears" pipe at the Chicago pipe show a couple of years
ago and it is the best pipe I have ever owned. It is
such a pleasure to smoke this pipe because it is so well

"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!!!" |

"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,

recieved my pipe in the mail after a sightly confusing
mix up at the post office (nothing that was your fault)
and WOW was it worth the wait! the meerschaum quality is
outstanding and the carver did an impecable job! not
only is my classic shape beautiful to the eye but it is
probably one of my best smokers. i own several high end
briars from well known companies and this one smokes
equal if not better than my other pipes. i'm glad to do
business with you and i'm sure that i will be a return
customer." |

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!" |

Mr. Sinan Altinok, I received your product at yesterday.
I really appreciate this "Handfle grapes" pipe. My first

sherry, wine. Thank you so much for everything. All the
best." |

"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!" |

"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!!" |

"Dear
Mr. Altinok, I want to thank you so much for taking such

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

just recieved my order and it's great. I didn't realize
when I bought it that there was an option for a

option? Could a second case be made to hold the pipe and
saxaphone stem? It is the Wise Chinese pipe. Thanks!" |

"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." |

"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." |

"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." |

I have just viewed your website, subscribed, and
recommended fellow pipesmokers to it

It is surely one of the best there is in the industry
and the ultimate for meerschaum pipes." |

fantastic. Mr. M. Yilmaz did an excellent job with his
hand carving! Your service and website are first class.

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!" |

"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,

"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

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

"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." |

hearing wonderful praise for your products on ASP and

The result was I immediately ordered another. I still
marvel at the craftmanship of the pipes and show them

them. I wish to thank yourself and Medat Kara (carver)
for the pleasure these pipes have brought me, both to
look at and to smoke." |

"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." |

"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.
Thanks once again for the quick turnaround so that I'm
able to enjoy the pipe over the holiday break." |

"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." |

with quality people." |

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!" |

you very much for your wonderful product! The carved

so as it gives me a great pleasure to indulge myself." |

"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." |
