Hi there guys,
I own a falcon system pipe, international bent. I want to buy more bowls online, but being totally blind, it is difficult for me to decide what to purchase. Is it possible for somebody to go through the pipe bowls on 4noggins.com and describe them to me. I do not want to take up too much space on the forum, so if there is a way to use private messaging on this site, which I obviously do not know about, I will be willing to share my Skype or FaceTime information.
Thanks so long for all of your help. this forum has been a godsend in the past.

I do not live in the United States. It would be easier for me to ask somebody to assist in this matter.

If you need it in another format, just ask.
Not sure everyone would agree with these descriptions, but they should be close.

Dude, you rock! Thanks for that. Finding anybody to discribe these in any understandable way is rather hard. The dumbest thing a blind pipe smoker can do, is to ask a pair of eyeballs who have no idea what they're talking about to describe the shape in any understandable way. it is extremely frustrating for me, for I do not know any knowledgeable smokers in my area. I live as I said outside of the US, in south Africa.
