Show Us Your Falcons!
Ah, sorry, my bad. I thought you had used a wad in the humidome as a makeshift filter!! And agreed with the cleanup, so much easier. Occasionally I have had a very wet tobacco and smoke in damp conditions and just took the bowl off, chucked the shopping wet dry ring, wiped the humidome and put...- FalconForever

Falcon don't really have filters per se. They have a dry ring in the humidome to soak up excess moisture from damp tobacco or 'wet' smokers. You can make your own from snipped up pipe cleaners. I guess cotton wool is doing the same thing but be careful your not breathing in loose fibres that...- FalconForever

Famous Historical Pipe Smokers
Probably not so well known stateside, but here in UK amongst us oldies, another famous Falcon pipe man is Jack Hargreaves. Hardly ever on TV back in the day without his trusty Falcon Extra. Was amazed to see the pictured of Rev W Audry in an earlier post and most pleased that he took smoked...- FalconForever

New eBay Changes?
I tried listing an item to see what the new process was like. And yes, it's mad. My selected price is not the price the potential buyer sees as eBay show me what I'm asking but buyers the same but with the new fees added on top. Very confusing for everyone as the fees are a combined fixed and...- FalconForever

New eBay Changes?
Not to list apparently. I just don't understand making items more expensive for customers is good business?- FalconForever

New eBay Changes?
eBay has gone mad. I assume this is world wide, but definitely in the UK. I had noticed a couple of long time watching items had gone up in price which is odd as I usually watch something unsold come down until it's in the ball park I'd be willing to pay. Turns out that in February they have...- FalconForever

How do you rationalize selling an item for less than what you paid?
There's a kind of psychology behind this. Trying to recover sunk costs or get an assumed value from something based really on emotions and not on reality. As I've got older I've learned that once I have bought something it's now worthless and of I can get anything back from it I'm winning...- FalconForever

Standard Falcon with rustic Dover bowl, Falcon Extra with walnut lined finish Dover bowl, Falcon Hunter with Hunter Dover bowl and a 1970s Falcon Bantam, I restored, with new Bantam rustic bulldog bowl as the original bowl was...- FalconForever

Might as well finish my show and tell... The bigger bits are a 1960s portable display case, I guess either for a sales rep or temp shop display? Nice and well made anyway. And second is a 100th anniversary tobacco jar from Ogden's St Bruno, Liverpool, England.- FalconForever

Nope. I can't do it. I tried. I priced it up. I advertised it but I just can't do it!! So here's my Falcon and associated tobacciana collection for you all to gawp at. Some bigger pieces are not in this cabinet and neither are my regular smokers.- FalconForever

Well looky here.... I managed to bag another American made early Falcon off a certain auction site! Not really "deep cleaned, waxed and polished" as it was claimed, but it is now after I have spent a couple of evenings de-gunking the stem and polishing off the oxidisation. Not for smoking this...- FalconForever

Thanks to a relative in the hood ol' USA, I managed to purchase a real gem for my little museum of Falcon pipes, and thanks to another visiting relative, it has landed on UK shores this week - I have literally been waiting nearly a year for this to get here!! This is a genuinely unused, boxed...- FalconForever

Opening A Tin? Show Us!
Got to say this Cornish Mixture is one of the best smoking tobaccos I've had. Not necessarily the best flavour or aroma, although it is very nice. I mean the way in which it smokes. Really smooth, no bite at all regardless of cadence, and zero relights unless allowed to go out. 👍🏻- FalconForever

Opening A Tin? Show Us!
Well I've been saving this one for today, Christmas Day. Comoy's Cornish Mixture. Very enjoyable first bowl. Fruity, hints of chocolate, very feint spice. Nice aroma. Smokes beautifully, one relight so far. Thick ribbon cut, almost a crumbled flake.- FalconForever
