ABOUT MASTER CARVER
KUDRET
As a young boy, Kudret was fascinated by elder brother Sevket's carvings. Kudret Gezer is the second child of Gezer family. He grew up in Eskisehir TURKEY,
where most people live with meerschaum either nearby a mine or making pipes with it.
In 1977, at the age of twelve, Kudret began two years of intense study under the brother.
After completing his apprenticeship, he was an independent carver of small pipes for the Turkish market.  In 1985, Kudret and younger brother Mesut formed a partnership with Sevket that lasted five years.  It was during this period that a new era of  began to emerge.
I can tell you in peace that Mesut, Kudret and Sevket brothers have all innate artistry of carving meerschaum. In one word, their work is "amazing" to say the least. I feel very happy working with Kudret and Sevket selling their extraordinarily crafted pipes on my website for a while. Let me tell you this, as a photographer of all those pictures, I must admit that they don't do it  justice at all. Better, you should see the intricate carving with naked eyes holding in your hands
Today, his distinctive portraits, with their unusual floral work

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT MEERSCHAUM PIPES
Meerschaum is a very rare mineral, a kind of hard white clay. Light and porous structure of the pipe keeps the smoke cool and soft. The pipe itself is a natural filter which absorbs the nicotine. Meerschaum is the most flavorful and beautiful pipe you can own.
Because of this peculiarity, meerschaum pipes slowly change their colors to different tones of gold and dark brown. This adds an esthetic enjoyment to its great smoking pleasure. The longer a pipe is smoked the more valuable it becomes due to the color change. Today many old and rare meerschaums have
found a permanent place in museums and private collections.
Pipes are made of high quality Eskisehir Meerschaum which is very well known by experts. Unlike briar, meerschaum does not burn. Meerschaum pipes do not need pre-smoking to have a good quality performance. You can get perfect satisfaction with the very first smoking. Unlike a briar pipe, which must be dried after each smoke, the meerschaum can be smoked many times a day because of its absorbing qualities.
Every pipe comes in a completely custom fitted case. Allmouthpieces and pipe-cases are handmade individually after the production of the pipes. Each pipe is a hand crafted art of the masters
