I got an answer for one of my want adds on Briar bid a little bit ago. I got a Kirsten from jcsnaps. It came with two meer bowls and two briar bowls. The bigger briar bowl is bigger then the bowl I have for my other Kirsten. The smaller briar bowl is actually the exact same style as the bowl on my other Kirsten, only smaller. He also threw in a tamper. Thanks man!

I need to track down a mandarin shaped briar for mine. The briar bowl I have on it at the moment is one of the fluted tulip shaped ones.

Good luck, they're getting harder to find. I really happy, I got this for an amazing price. Now it's time to start looking for a cob bowl. For those who don't know, Missouri Meerschaum mad cob bowls for Kirsten back in the day.

You're lucky. I saw one go for quite a bit on ebay. I just finished a partial bowl of PS Pistachio in it with the meer bowl. Smoked like a dream, I couldn't be happier. I have a full bent Falcon and an order from P&C on the way too. I should have the Falcon tomorrow or saturday, and the baccy on saturday

I would like to try a Falcon someday. How is that Pistachio? I'm not a big aromatic guy, but, when I can find one that actually has the taste I expect, I do like them. Unfortunately, too many of them seem to taste of nothing.

Its not bad. The last bit I had was much better. Maybe I'll have to give it a smoke in a different pipe.

If anyone is interested in another Kirsten I recently passed on what I think was a Kirsten when looking at some estates because I didn't know what it was. I could try to contact the guy again.

There are almost always a number of Kirstens available on Ebay; I won three beauties there. ::

They tend to get expensive though. I got this for a really good price. I can't thank jcsnaps enough.
