Falcon Bowl woes

[Christos D. Tsatsaronis]

Falcon fan here, 3 stems, 10 bowls, never an issue.
I hope you find a solution. Great pipes indeed!

Thanks for all the replies

Does anyone know Falcons postal address?
I can't find it and their website is down

I was here hoping the issue got fixed. That sucks as they're great pipes.

Just purchased my 1st Falcon pipe. This is the info that came inside. Hope this helps.

I’ve only about 45 pipes with only distinction between them is most are briar and a few are meerschaum. I’ve yet to see the upside to investing into the Falcon system (or some better mousetrap), not because of this discussion but because … well why? Is there an upside to a Falcon over one of my many amazing (well taken care of) briars and the three very high quality meers I use regularly?

yes the upside is the easiest pipe to clean. Can be done with a paper towel. The smoke is cool even if the tobacco isn't dry. They smoke great. And the last is the reason they were invented according to the original designer which is they require almost no drying time because of the design. The other nifty thing is they regularly for me smoke down to ash even with damp tobaccos.

I would look at your pipe cleaner rings you are making. They may be too thick not allowing the threads of the bowl to contact properly the threads of the shank.

I bought one to smoke Lakeland blends out of and not worrying about ghosting the pipe. The bowl I can swap out if I want to smoke a non Lakeland blend. They’re interesting and cheap so I said why not.

Also, if travelling away from home for a few days or weeks, instead of packing half a dozen briars for rotation, just carry one or two Falcon stems & as many separate bowls as you wish to take.
