My Little Collection....

[FalconForever]

These are my smoking pipes that I use. I have six straight pipes, all Falcons. I have another six bent pipes, five are Falcons and one Invicta. The round stand and tobacco jar is from the 1950s I think and the classic five bar gate stand is from the 1960s I think. Kitsch but cool....

Finally is my mini museum of unsmoked original Falcons, lighters, etc plus two lightly restored bantams which I might fire up at some point.

Can’t tell me that that isn’t a unique and cool collection.

You need a Falcon tamper and a reamer to round out that set.

 

[kcghost]

You have a very impressive collection of falcons.

Well I think we now know that FalconForever wasn't just a cute name decision but a declaration of love. Nice collection!

 

[DesertDan]

There's a boxed reamer in there I've used and there's a 1960s British combi tool and tamper.....

If you were a real Falcon Smoker you would just have one Falcon Stem

Ah, but have you got the Falcon combination pouch? Both zipped & button versions? How about a golfers falcon umbrella?
There must be something your collection is missing, that we can get you on! lol

No combo pouch as don't touch leather and I hate golf. I have been keeping an eye out for the Falcon finger tamper mind....

It's great you saved the brochures also and the box for the reamer.

BTW, you got any tips for when you get air leaks around the seal between stem and screw-on bowl?

Only cleaning. If the original seal has gone or gone rock hard on the bowl, they can be replaced...

Nice original pipe collection!
Enjoy!

Great Collection! If you had to suggest one to a newbie which one and what should they buy with it?

Good question! Personally I'd say any of the standard stems paired with pretty much any standard bowl. You have endless choice with the Falcon system.

If you already smoke and are used to briar pipes, I'd go with the International range which looks more traditional but have the cooling system of Falcons.

The Coolway range are closer still to a traditional briar but don't have the same cooling effect or humidome as the engineered Falcons.

Only other tip is say for the standard Falcon is to keep them clean, use the dry rings for the humidome and enjoy!

So my question is, Did a real Falcon deliver any of these goods? We've heard stories.
