Anyone Smoking a Kirsten Pipe as Their go to Pipe?
I not only admit to owning Kirstens, I have smoked them exclusively since 1983. There are a variety of reasons I do so. I don't like a pipe that bites and I don't like a pipe that burns hot. Kirstens do neither. Their primary advantage is the cooling effect on the tobacco smoke moving... -

Not sure which forum this belongs in-- Kirsten may be forced out of business
There are two sides to every story. To begin with, I have smoked Kirstens exclusively since 1983 when I bought one from Stacy’s father at Fisherman’s Terminal in Seattle.

Ben Wade "Martinique"
There is one on Ebay now that is under Ben Wade but you have to go to the small print to see it is a Martinique. Not as nice as yours but the price is pretty good. -

*** What Are You Smoking?*** (April 2016)
You all amaze me. I have smoked the same type pipe and tobacco for 33 years. The pipes are Kirstens and the tobacco is Captain Black. It was the first pipe I bought and now have 14. Never have tried another type.- metalman

I own 14 Kirsten pipes. Bought them one at a time at Fisherman's Terminal store in Seattle from 1984 to 2005. I recently bought one from EBAY listed as a brand new pipe. It's a Regent (large quarter bent) with an extra-large Meerschaum bowl. The mouthpiece had some white doodles on it. Got...- metalman
