Just Got My First Falcon
Rings were always more trouble than they are worth for me, no problems not using them. Dark stained bowls can be a little funky at first, just power through the taste for a few bowls and then you are off to the races.- Guppy

New Falcon Meer
I’ll play along. Here’s my desk set with a rack I made which holds a couple more more bowls in the back. They are fun for sure, must have 20 or so of various vintages.- Guppy

A New Affliction, P-TAD
I’ve made dozens over the years. I gave away my most recent batch, but if you don’t mind a used one, PM me your address and I’ll send you one. Otherwise, I should be whittling up some more in a bit.- Guppy

A New Affliction, P-TAD
I have more tampers than is probably prudent. Whenever I have some extra shop time, I seem to make a new one. On conference calls, I’ve even started whittling a few, definitely afflicted lol.- Guppy

Falcon Shillelagh Question
I found the tube doesn't go quite as far into the bowl with them. Your's looks like there is a burr in the end of the tube/ tube is pinched closed a little. Gently filing it open with a round needle file should get rid of it and open up the draw.- Guppy

Interesting Pipe Rack, But Who Made It?
Totally agree. Beat up Decatur pipe racks are one thing, but nice vintage examples I leave alone and use them to display smaller pipes.- Guppy

Interesting Pipe Rack, But Who Made It?
A lot of older racks are small by today's standards which can be a challenge. I find that Falcons tend to fit fine which is kind of ironic that my oldest racks hold my weirdest looking pipes.- Guppy

Tin Arts and Crafts Time
Very cool idea. I jumped on the clock band wagon to get rid of tins. Stick a magnet on the back and you have a neat workshop clock. Saves me from buying a few gifts every year.- Guppy

Velvet is one of my favorite codger blends, and I always keep a tub around. I also like Mixture 79 so my tastes might be suspect lol.- Guppy

There Appears To Be A New Law In The UK Regarding Loose Tobacco Sales.
We had a health plan just like that for a few years. Don’t smoke (verified with blood test) you get a “discount”. Cholesterol, blood sugar normal, get a “discount”. Weight within normal limits, another “discount”. They were incentives to be healthy as the savings were significant. The funny...- Guppy

Missouri Hard Wood Pipe For a Beginner?
My travel pipes are briars I bought from RNAtreasures and finished myself. They go on sale for $5 from time to time and honestly can’t be beat from a value standpoint. That’s coming from a hardcore cob fan.- Guppy
