I have been looking at those Russian /Ukraine pipes for quite a while. I just may end up snagging one.
If at first you don't succeed you are running about average.Posted 1 year ago # -
Art...where have you been looking at them?
The picture I found wasn't associated with a site that sold pipes, it was just a picture google picked up from somebodies blog.
I would probably buy one just cause it's cool looking.Posted 1 year ago # -
I've looked at them too. If anyone has one or gets one let us know how well they are constructed. I'd like to know how well they smoke, cause IMO they do look good for the money.

Thanks guys!
Hmmm...it says that it's made of briar....but it certainly doesn't look like it from looking at the bowl.
I might still get one...not sure if I'd dare smoke it though!

I've been looking too, but... I'm not sure if I need one that I'm not "sure" about... What Bytor said...

An obscenely talented carver from the Ukraine is Konstantin Shekita. Both of these pipes are $500 (one is sold). Compared to some of the stuff I've seen priced much higher, these are definitely underrated.
Sorry the pictures are enormous.

WOW! First time I have seen lattice carved briar. Exceptional!

That is sharp!
What do ya think?
Drilled then gouged?
I bet it was a pain to stain.Posted 1 year ago # -

Those are awesome! I like the top one the best!
Posted 1 year ago # -
I would say drilled and then a special tool like the ones for making nested balls on a lathe was used.

Sweeeeet! I like the bottom one best, but I generally prefer smooth.

Those 2 pipes are really some works of art!

Those 2 pipes are really some works of art!
I bet if they had a white dot on the stem they'd fetch at least $1500 to $2000.

Wow!!! Thats some carving skills there. I'd be scared to handle the first one, Looks fragile.

Igloo, that's BA... I like the stem...
Posted 1 year ago # -
Fread and Iggy those are all BA pipes WOW!

Igloo,
There's a pipe/cigar shop owner that I trust in my area who recommends Nordings and claims that a low end Nording will smoke with the best of 'em. (He also says good things about Design Berlin.)
In my pipe dreams, I've told myself that something from the same line as your new pipe would be a good place to start since they look sharp and are priced right.

Fred,
That's one hell of a collection! I've only got two IMP meers, but I love them both. There are some different groups here, (Drug Store, Flake, etc.). If a meerschaum group were to form, you'd surely be the man to run it.

Thanks guys , she is almost 7 inchs long and smokes nice and cool , only 33 grams making this the lightest one I have . Got a good one this time she smokes good .

Wow Fred! That is an impressive collection of meers!Hope you don't mind the nose prints on the glass...

Thanks for the kind comments on the Pipes guys! There's more, but I've not been able to get enough time together to post them, yet... I'm the Founder of the All Things Meerschaum Group/Forum on Smoker's Forum, which is currently up to 244 members. It's all about having fun and sharing information. I'm no expert, as I consider myself a student as much as the next in these matters. Besides Meerschaums, I also smoke Mortas and I have a seven day rotation of Cobs. The ATM takes a lot of my time these days, and everyone has an open invitation to join, as it's a public group that doesn't require anything but a desire to learn more about these stone Pipes.

That's a beautiful collection of Meers Fred!
That's a really nice looking pipe Igloo!

Impressive Meers Fred,
It's good to have a meerschaum aficionado on the site.
We can certainly use some advice on the subject from time to time.
I have two favorites from your collection, the:
Baki's Monarch
and
S.YANIK MEERSCHAUM Pipe KNOT
Which of your meers do you smoke the most/prefer?Posted 1 year ago # -
I'm the Founder of the All Things Meerschaum Group/Forum on Smoker's Forum, which is currently up to 244 members.
That's the group I was thinking of when I mentioned making a meer group here. I lurk mostly at SF and there's so many threads and members, I didn't recognize you off the bat.
The ATM group at Smoker's Forum has TONS of information, for anyone who's curious...

Fred, fantastic collection of meers; and thanks for the major effort to photo and post the pics. I know it can sometimes be a PITA, but we all appreciate it. BTW, I've been keeping an eye peeled for a truly realistic carving of Shakespeare in a bowl size group 4 or a little smaller. Any online links or recommended carvers who do custom work, and are reliable?
