I tried them and they're not for me but they certainly have a huge fan base and I can see why.
They definitively look much better when you hold them in hand than on some photos.
They are convenient as you can travel with a few stems and lots of bowls, which can save significant room in one's luggage.
They are easy to clean.
And some combos look good: the Hunter stem with a Meerschaum bowl. I personally think the Bent stem looks terrific.

@MRW Is that really you in your avatar as you sure do remind me of the fellow responsible for the Zapruder film of the Kennedy assassination at Dealey Plaza! Back on topic, Falcon Pipes are one of my pet hatreds. They seem to me to be smoked by people in the U.K from 'Up North' who wear socks with their sandals at the seaside and wander around telling you on a sunny day that 'Its turned out nice again, ain't it?'. Other signs of Falcon Pipe poisoning are becoming a devotee of George Formby and thinking that a week in Blackpool constitutes a holiday!

Heh! You are right, Sir!

But the observation might ring true for some, and maybe there'll be fewer posts the equivalent of "this sucks". Yeah, maybe.
You know what sucks… high quality posts that get locked. ?

I’d like to propose a solution. Make a new “Humor” category and just move those posts there. Can’t we compromise?
