Be wary dealing with Missouri Meerschaum. They received the Dagner Poker cob I sent to be replaced with another that had a better shank\stem fit. They also told me I would be notified when they shipped it. It’s been 10 days since and nothing, no pipe and no word as to its status (if shipped). I fired off a email and so far, nothing in reply. Right now, this is leaving a bad taste in my mouth. I judge a business by how much they value their customer service and their customers in general.
