United States

I’ve been buying and smoking pipes for a little over a decade. I own or have owned multiple and various meerschaum pipes from all the renowned manufacturers. I believe there is currently no better value for price and quality than Astaş Meerschaum. Do not hesitate to ask if you are looking for something particular.

Poland

Just finishing smoking first bowl in it. Pipe is amazing, better than i thought. Quality of meerschaum, proportions, everything is in place. I have a big collection of briar pipes, and very few meerschaum because i bought previously something even not close to this one. Recommend it to everyone who wants to try

  ✮  ✮  ✮  ✮  ✮

United States

Mustafa at Astas Meerschaum has been fantastic to work with. I've bought 5 pipes and 2 tampers from him. His pipes are always drilled perfect, and the meerschaum quality is great. My last tamper from him was a commission, and it was even better than I imagined. I only smoke my meerschaum pipes these days, and his are definetly the best. I recommend him to any and everyone!

Finally got my hands on this! Beautifully crafted. Feels great in the hand and easy on the eyes. Will provide many years of relaxing and enjoyable sessions. Will absolutely consider purchasing additional pipes from Astaş in the future.

I was dissatisfied with the small bowl of KIRSTEN PIPE and replaced it with a large bowl. The finish is beautiful and the design is excellent.

  ✮  ✮  ✮  ✮  ✮

United States

Very high quality meerschaum pipe. Smokes great. Well packed, excellent seller communication.

✮  ✮  ✮  ✮  ✮

Japan

I had them make it in a semi-order with a specification change. The finish is beautiful and the silver spigot joints are also highly accurate and of high quality.

Switzerland

The quality is excellent. This pipe is a litte small for me but perfectly manufactured. I would recommend to check the sizes before buying. ;-) However; I really recommend this seller!

 ✮  ✮  ✮  ✮  ✮

Japan

You can fully enjoy the scent of tobacco because the bowl comes right under your nose just by holding the full vent pipe. Although it is a slim pipe, the bowl is deep enough to hold more tobacco than you can imagine. It's a pipe suitable for enjoying the scent. Rattray's Highland Targe is delicious!

  ✮  ✮  ✮  ✮  ✮

Great quality, very unique shape. Lots of compliments from it.

Customer service is A1. Even given the current mail delivery issues being experienced around the world, delivery was very quick from Turkey to Australia via DHL. Upon receiving today, it was immediately evident that this is a quality pipe. A great smoke too. Very happy

Switzerland

I really love the quality and workmanship from this shop. This time I found the size I was looking for. Everything went just perfectly fine and I will buy from Astas again. However, I guess this pipe may last for ever...

✮  ✮  ✮  ✮  ✮

Japan

Product is really great. Every parts are able to disassemble for cleaning. Meerschaum, stem joint and stem. Easier to clean design. The case is also custom made for this pipe. Disappointment is only no instructions manuals. XD Lastly, This store is trusted and recommended. Someday, I’d like to order “Full Custom Order”. :) Thanks again!

United States

Beautiful ❤️ Great service and amazingly FAST delivery. From Turkey to USA in a week. I fell in love with Meerschaum 7yrs ago and have an extensive collection of pipes now. The best quality only comes from Turkey. I highly recommend this shop👍👍👍👍👍

✮  ✮  ✮  ✮  ✮

Japan

Smoke enters the mouth smoothly without the vents and draws being tight. The position of the bowl is far from the nose, so the scent does not feel strong, but the Virginia blend meets very well.

 ✮  ✮  ✮  ✮  ✮

Canada

Beautifully crafted pipe. Attention to detail amazing! Perfectly made. Wonderful smoking pipe. Will definitely purchase from seller again.

✮  ✮  ✮  ✮  ✮

United States

I have to start off with the amazing polish finish with a dead-on drilled hole into the bowl. A beautful polished stem that fits and looks to be a high quality stem that time and quality were put into when shaping and finishing, which perfectly lines up with the shank. This amazing craftsmanship delivers a cool dry smoke that burns the tobacco down to a fine white ash. I can't wait to see what it will look like as the color sets in. I purchased a few of these gems and I will definitely be purchasing more Meerschaum pipes from Astaş in the future. ...

✮  ✮  ✮  ✮  ✮

Switzerland

This was another customized pipe I bought from Astas. I really like to have unique pieces of pipes in my collection and I obviously like natural designs as well as also the other art pieces. And yes it's also possible to use them for smoking ;-) This one came with a Silver ring and looks just beautiful.

Yet another wonderful piece to go in my collection!!

✮  ✮  ✮  ✮  ✮

United States

Outstanding Pipe! This is my first all Meerschaum pipe. I was surprised by how light it is. It's a bit smaller then i thought it would be but it fits nicely in the hand. Finally found time to sit down with it. Smokes smooth and gentle. The case! A good meerschaum needs a good case and it indeed has one. A most excellent purchase.

What can I say? Every time I buy a pipe from these guys, I'm floored when it arrives! The stone is incredible, top quality block meerschaum, the carving is superlative - and the beauty of the item far surpasses the photos. Each pipe comes with a meerschaum strainer plug, which makes smoking ALL of the tobacco a breeze, all lovingly packed in a custom fitted case. Bravo! Always a pleasure doing business with Astas Meerschaum!

The pipe I ordered is an asymmetric shape that I was unsure of when I purchased. Having now received it, I am glad I took the chance. It is even more beautiful in person than the pictures. The elegance and comfort in the hand are outstanding. From an artistry standpoint it among the most beautiful pipes I have ever seen. Quality of the build is great.

 ✮  ✮  ✮  ✮  ✮

United States

Seller shipped item very promptly after the purchase, and I received it not long after that. It’s GORGEOUS! Smokes incredibly well and is absolutely the best looking pipe I own. Will certainly be returning to this shop next time I want to spoil myself with a new pipe!

 ✮  ✮  ✮  ✮  ✮

United States

Wow! Pleased to receive a piece that was exactly the one in the pictures. Of all the eagle claws I've seen, I feel that I definitely picked the right one. The craftsmanship and design are first rate, and it came with a custom fit case and a removable meerschaum strainer plug which will burn your bowl evenly, right to the bottom, and for no extra charge! It's a delightful, dry, sweet smoke one can expect from block meerschaum packed with a favorite blend, and she's beginning to color already. My shopping experience with Astas Meerschaum was fantastic and the owner was courteous and very accommodating. My shipment arrived much sooner than expected. Bravo!

✮  ✮  ✮  ✮  ✮

United States

Every pipe I have purchased from Astas has exceeded expectations (That’s 5 now). By far the best block meerschaum pipes I have purchased off of Etsy. I would argue, better than all of the name brand meerschaum I own. You might think this is a canned review, it’s not. I have made purchase from a few other vendors on Etsy. None can compete. Beautiful, elegant, clean pipes. And, the customer service is great. I love the built in stand some of the pipes feature. For any future meerschaum purchases, the first place I’m going is definitely Astas

Astas meerschaum pipes in my opinion, are among the very best you can buy. The workmanship is precise, the proportions are true to each style, & are carefully cut & finished. You will see it in the details of every pipe you receive from them. Their customer service is very good, and nothing is left wanting. If you are seriously searching for a carver/maker that you can easily communicate with & buy from with full confidence, I can highly recommend Astas!
