Steel Birds! I love it. I mentioned the other day wanting a Peterson System just because I think it would be cool to have one, and I feel the same way about Falcon.

I’ve been absolutely smoking the shit out of this pipe, rotating between the 3 bowls constantly and just the occasional pipe cleaner and swabbing the humidome with a folded cleaner.
It’s amazing how easy it is to smoke and how fiddly it isn’t. These pipes are really amazing and I’m only sorry I didn’t try one earlier.
Still love my briars but Falcons can play a serious role in your rotation if you’re interested.

Bought a Falcon. It always begs the question 'why?'. If your idea of a pipe is a length of break line connected to a hollowed out wooden door nob and a casing made of recycled Colt 45 malt liquor tins then more power to you! 
Have you ever seen the guys in the UK who smoke these things. They go on holiday to Blackpool and wear socks with open toed sandals. Possibly collect cheese labels or are closet train spotters and smoke Clan. Need I say anything more!

"Have you ever seen the guys in the UK who smoke these things."
Many times. Starting with my pipe mentor who was the chief anesthetist at Broad Green Hospital, Liverpool.
" They go on holiday to Blackpool...."
They may have before the Suez crisis, but are more likely to appear now in Majorca, sunburned and looking like boiled hams. And what's wrong with Blackpool or any Brit seaside resort? Think of Skegness!
Or maybe there's a reason why Brits now flock to Spain...
"wear socks with open toed sandals...."
I have never seen these in the UK. Perhaps they are sported by some, but surely their toes are frozen blue.
"Possibly collect cheese labels..."
I don't collect such things, but I do have an ancient one that I just pulled off my bookshelves to show you.
Appealing awful artwork, wot?
"smoke Clan"
Now that blend is truly a crime against humanity. I smoked it once as a teenager and my mouth still hurts. But I do not associate it with falcon fans who, in my experience, are more likely to to puff on St Bruno or Condor.
Love 'em or hate 'em, falcon pipes are the classic Brit working man's pipe.
Lol, still love mine and it’s sitting on my smoking table right now beside two vintage Dunhills. All got used this week and my new tin of St Bruno is getting depleted at an alarming rate. Life is good!
I forgot to mention the flat hat and rolled up copy of The Peoples Friend or pre- Suez it would have been Reynolds News!
This takes a load off my mind. I'm waiting on a boxed set from Amazon that should be arriving this week. I had some trepidation prior to ordering, but I've been wondering about Falcon pipes for years and knew that I would continue to do so until I scratched the itch. Keep us updated!

I don't think he holidayed in Blackpool
What brand of hat are you wearing in the video BROBS?

Finally bought a Falcon, straight with brown aluminum shank, on sale from Iwan Ries. They even cut me two pipe cleaner moisture rings and sent them along. So far, I find it especially good for Mixture No. 79, a fine pairing. I like the brown shank, not so much like plumbing fixtures. Light weight, good smoking, quite pleasing.
I thought about a Falcon when I was member on a British forum but couldn't get myself to get one because they are butt-ugly.
I have to say I have been smoking my falcon alot more regularly since I got the international stem. It's a lot more comfortable and it's not quite as cooling as the regular but it also seems to have more flavor and be more comfortable to smoke because it's light weight.
Ahhh, from the title I thought you were talking about one of these, I was going to congratulate you on your purchase!!! But it's not, so I won't...I'm sure it's a nice pipe though, you should show us a picture of it.
I smoke my Falcons more compared to my briars for various reasons. I find they perform every bit as well than my briars, are easier to maintain but most of all I can knock them about without worrying about it.
Every pipe smoker should have one.
