    Let's See Your Kirsten Pipes

    I wanted a bowl with more capacity. I got this one from Mike Bissett. I have finally started to break it in with some Blue Mountain. It is big and the chamber is cylindrical. The body is a Regent gold anodized 1/4 bent. I am going to like this one.

    Piper In Trouble: Need Some Feedback

    I have had an irritation at the back of the throat with one tobacco of a class that does not bother me. I tried varying the pipe and moisture to no effect. I finally traded it off. It was probably something in the process or a leaf that I am allergic to. He should try different types of leaf (...

    What is it about a Kirsten Pipe?

    Hawke, I did drill out a steel screw to repair a badly damaged pipe. I am looking for my notes on that.( I took the body to a hardware store and tried different screws).

    What is it about a Kirsten Pipe?

    I did buy a Kirsten full bent about 30 years ago. My complaint was that the bowl was small. The smoke was over way to fast. But I have slowed my pace down a lot now. I can make a bowl last 45 to 60 minutes now. I now own 3 Kirsten and one Viking Dr. Graybow "metal" pipe. The Viking is similar to...

    Eureka! No more bite!

    Thanks for the reference Woodsroad. That is the type of info that I was looking for. The acidic PH of Virginia makes it a low vitamin N hit for me and why I have found these to be my favorite. :worship:

    How does Barbary Coast Age?

    I will let you know how it is. I have some 40 year old Burley that I tried. It had a nice nutty flavor that was enjoyable. It was a very mild smoke to boot.

    Just a couple of quick questions...

    Welcome to the "Hobby" As the others have posted + 1) This is a common term for several other makers ie Peterson 2) Usually the seconds of a high end maker are of the same wood where a "flaw" is found at the end of the process. The pipe will be as good a smoker as the firsts at a better price...
