    Savinelli Roma - Charcoal filter?

    A very good morning to you all, morning here in the Wild West of England UK anyway! Quick question, I love this pipe, and use the Balsa filters for the most part - but would it take the 6mm cylindrical charcoal filter? Thanks and have a great day/evening Woodsman...

    What are the main differences?

    Disappointed with EMP

    Hello everyone, Have you ever looked forward to a tobacco, only to be woefully disappointed with it? I am experiencing just that with Early Morning Pipe. Given how much I love Presbyterian Mix, I thought this would be a slower start to the day. Now it may well just be my palate - but it smokes...

    Half a Bowl Left when Out and About...

    Hi all, So say you're halfway down a bowl, and you have to move on, what do you do with the pipe in the absence of being able to finish it - bear in mind the tobacco might still be hot? Thanks...

    Falcon Pipe bowl size

    Hello everybody, I bought another Falcon estate pipe recently and the bowl is (I think) a Genoa. The interior was significantly more spacious than all the other bowls I have. It also has 'Falcon' stamped on the underside of the bowl too which my other bowls don't have(?) It's a bit too well...

    Why so different?

    Hi all, Why is it that I can put the same tobacco in the same pipe and one day it will be a nice cool smoke, I can taste and smell the Aro ....the next it can be like smoking raw charcoal...all burnt and really rather unpleasant??? I keep my pipes clean, smoke slowly, pack light (Frank method)...

    Tapping out ash...

    Hi, When you’re halfway down a bowl, or less, do you loosen up the smoked tobacco (now ash) and tap it out into an ash tray? If so, do you then tamp down what's left and re-light? Thanks....

    Fixed bend but now look!

    Did you write that? The grammar is woeful. In fact, I am not sure if you're being serious. Or maybe it's one of those American cartoons for children? Either way, bless........

    Fixed bend but now look!

    Hi, so following some of the advice about how to fix a misshapen stem I managed to do this using hot water...so mission accomplished. But now the stem is massively discoloured. Yes it's a Falcon Coolway, yes it is cheap n cheerful, but I like it. How can I rectify the discolouration? Thanks!

    Dr Plumb Peacemaker #3

    Hi, I managed to grab this Dr Plumb Peacemaker - which I understand are rare, at least here in the UK. It comes up really clean apart from the stem that looked like a dog had been playing with it (slight exaggeration!). I have gone through the usual procedure, cleaning, Mr Clean, grading...
