Falcon Pipes...I Don't Get It

[ofafeather]

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?

We need an upgrade to the forum format to include certain fonts or emojis specifically for:
Sarcasm
Irony
Parody
Tongue-in-cheek
Just-to-rile-you-up
etc…

Just my thought...marketing. Pipes are a competitive market and at one point this was the next big thing. Like stingers or double barrel stems. I will say this one has stuck around. It's a matter of what you like be it a Falcon, cobs, meers or briar just like some folks like Craftsman, Snap On or Huskey. It's a tool.

What is up with Falcon pipes? These border on the Hookah concept which the subject is banned on this forum. Why are these even discussed here? Let the hate begin.

Why all the negativity? This is looking rather histrionic to me. ?️

It would surely help context!

Can't we all just get along?

Then one wouldn't need a brain to figure things out! A bit of ambiguity adds interest, at least for me.

I guess the same reason that snobs are allowed to post here.

I have never smoked a falcon and have no intentions of trying one. I will never smoke a pipe with a stinger. I like a nice wide open draw on all of my pipes. I find they burn cooler and dryer and give me more flavors. My minimum shank dimensions are 4.0-4.5 mm. Anything less creates turbulence which leads to a wet smoker.

This and the bizarre long posts thread from last night. Seems like this dude was having a rough day.

Stop blaming marketing. "Oz never gave the Tin Man anything that he didn't already have".

my falcon smokes better then any of my briar pipes. everything i put in it turns to ash and it never gurgles.
got a meer bowl and a briar bowl.

easily one of my best purchases ever. @ the people chiming in who've never smoked one but hate anyway, just lol.

Deja Vu

Are they essentially the same as the Kirsten pipes?

I’ve never been a fan of either, just from an aesthetic point of view, but perhaps I will be grown up enough to try one when I get to be 60. Hell, I’m already beginning to appreciate the utility of socks with Birkenstocks (under the right set of circumstances).

Yeah well, maybe I am a snob, but I have never bought a Falcon because of the image.
Which then makes me wonder why I ever bought a cob ?
So not just a snob, but an irrational snob.
There is not a scrap of hope left for me !

Oh my, man. Socks with Birky's are old school. It used to mean you had a doctorate degree and didn't need approval from anyone.

Socks with Chaco's are "sockos".

Hope you arrive to the present soon......LOL!!

In general, threads that focus on what one dislikes or questions deeply don't end so well.

So, IBTL.... but in the mean time, carry on....

OK a self-fulfilled prophesy.
