Grega, kako je proslo "pecenje" meerice? Jel se izvjetrio smrad?

NećeÅ¡ vjerovat ali je :1:. U radioni imam neki fen pa sam je nekoliko puta totalno pregrijao i proÅ¡lo je. Sad je već veselo puÅ¡im bez dodatnog smrada. I predobro se puÅ¡i!  :61:

Pa nisu tak radikalne... sam sam je grijao par puta kao da bi je pušio.
Jer recimo ak sam je uzeo na put, kad sam otvorio torbicu bi cijela soba smrdjela. Tako užasna je bila. A siguran sam da nije ni za zdravlje najbolje pušit taj vosak, tak da ak nabavim još koju ide prvo na fen tretma. :64:

Danas sam dobio ovaj mail od Altinoka.
Izgleda da dolaze teška vremena što se tiče nabavke i cijene materijala za lule, svih materijala za lule.

"Hello Domagoj,

I wish you were doing fine while we are not in touch. Please have a bowl of your favorite blend and sit back to read my not-so-good news.
Within the last five years, as you might have noticed, I have never intended to increase prices, may be a few small adjustments only. That was all. In Turkey, where I live and run my business, the average inflation was 10% a year during that period of time. As you can easily imagine, every product needed for living grabbed its share greedily from it. Also in local pipe business, the sub-players added their expenses to the costs every time as they had to. Worse than that, our main material meerschaum block has put around 30% more to its previous cost in year 2005. All the master carvers such as IMP, Kudret Gezer, Sevket Gezer, Ismail Baglan, Medet Kara, had to reflect the inflation rates to their prices accordingly. Me? No, so far.

Long story short, I had to make a new adjustment in my prices. Now, my Classic series pipes have US$129.95 price tag (30% increase). Please let me tell you this, I still believe that the new prices don't do the overall quality justice. We make every efforts to sustain the quality in every step of our production or in reselling operation that our customers would like to see it same on our pipes continuously. Exporting some crucial materials from Germany such as teflon/delrin tenons, color and black acrylic bits, brass case hinges, even foams in the packages come from abroad, is all that help achieve our final quality target.

I do hope that all these beefs would make sense to justify my obligation to get to a new price level after a long steady period.

Thank you for your time and understanding.


Best wishes and happy puffing!

Tužno!!!  :3:
It took Frog Morton four years to perfect this unique blend which is full and yet mild. It is his proudest achievement.

I nisi-IMP je već ranije "korigirao" cijene, tako da se na eBayu i dalje može kupiti-po izrazito povoljnim cijenama neka IMP meerschaum lula!!! Ako nekoga zanima, postavit ću link za taj store, gdje prodaju samo IMP lule! (mislim da sam negdje to već stavio-ima i mogućnost cjenkanja)!

Ma nije potrebno, imam dosta lula zasad, pikiram si još jednu eventualno koju bih ubo (nije konfekcija), no trenutno su ipak neke važnije stvari u igri (stan itd :1:)
