    I Did Something Crazy

    There are about 4-5 thousand pipe smokers in Turkey. It's not only meerschaum; there's also a pipe brand called Şahin Pipe in Turkey. However, importing pipe tobacco is prohibited. Recently, pipes are also having a hard time entering Turkey. It's absurd, but I think it's related to demand. If...

    No. Completely local and boutique. You can't buy it from a dealer or online. You have to find it :D

    Unfortunately, you can't go beyond this in Turkey. Perhaps you can find a few more local varieties. Due to the ban on importing pipe tobacco to Turkey, we don't have too many options. So, everyone's level of indulgence varies.

    I Did Something Crazy

    Vanilla Cream seemed quite 'classic' to me. Its flavor is quite intense. Right now, I'm smoking Blueberry Cake. It's a standard cake cut. The moisture seems quite balanced, making it enjoyable. I can say I prefer its flavor over Vanilla Cream. It has a moderately warm and balanced burn. As I...

    I Did Something Crazy

    I bought all nine different blends of the only domestically produced brand available in Turkey :D I wasn't a fan of aromatic tobaccos, but I'll give them a try now. Except for Sooty, Balkan, Best Chocolate, and 1453 in the picture, the rest will be my first time trying. Sooty Flake is really...

    Hi Everyone From İstanbul/Türkiye

    The meals are really diverse :D I'm glad you're here. It was Turkey's good times 20 years ago.

    Maybe Help Bites - Tongue Bite, Technical Issues, and Chat

    I've started looking, and they don't look bad. I think I can get one.

    Maybe Help Bites - Tongue Bite, Technical Issues, and Chat

    To be honest, I've never been interested in meerschaum pipes. They didn't catch my attention. So, unfortunately, I can't offer you any advice.

    Sounds like smart. I'll do this.

    Thats Amazing Gift - Punto Oro Classic 602

    C The cake formation process is progressing in this way. Thank you all, I'm not really worried about this anymore. Also, I found out why I had this concern, and it's quite strange: We have a local tobacco producer called Bosphorus. They have a tobacco called Sooty Flake (a blend of Golden...

    Hi Everyone From İstanbul/Türkiye

    Omg! It looks amazing. I guess it's taken from the Eminönü / Grand Bazaar side.

    The pipe I used in the cleaning video is this one: Does Anyone Know What This Is? :: Pipe Talk - https://pipesmagazine.com/forums/threads/does-anyone-know-what-this-is.100781/

    Yes, you can buy domestically produced tobaccos (there is a legal producer). However, I can't really say that the legally produced tobacco is of high quality. As for the other option, there isn't any website where you can place an order or a physical location where you can go and buy it.

    Hi Everyone From İstanbul/Türkiye

    Of course. I use Bosphorus tobaccos and I'm really pleased with them. The old 'Yayladağ' formula is now labeled as Gladora YD. The one called TPT is 'Turkish Pipe Tobacco.' I've tried them and they were quite good. However, I'm not sure how they perform under the name Gladora. Let's definitely...

    Hi Everyone From İstanbul/Türkiye

    Time has progressed a bit strangely for me :) Well, of course. I played the guitar for about nine years and received vocal training for six years (private lessons from Licinio Montefusco's student). I'm a dramatic tenor, but I didn't pursue opera singing (it wasn't quite feasible in Turkey, and...
