Whatever @condorlover1 says, you just can't deny the innate sex appeal of the humble Falcon.

I can't be bothered to dig out all of mine. By their very nature they end up in rucksacks, coat pockets and in the shed. The great thing about Falcons is they're almost impossible to get a bad smoke from, so they're great for beginners, and they're great for travelling and throwing in a pocket. Since @simong mentioned them, here is the Peaks Pipes falcon bowl I bought at the UK pipe show:View attachment 310246

@jaingorenard: That looks like a Bakelite insulator from an early 1930 wireless!

@buroak : Hey bud, I have not seen you around in ages. How the hell are you?

It has been years! I am well. I am pleasantly surprised to see you here, and participating in a Falcon thread, no less. I hope you have been doing well.

 

[condorlover1]

Good my friend. Glad to hear you are well as well.

My first falcon arrived today! Excited to smoke it, went for the bent extra stem with a briar dover bowl, I know some people don't like the aesthetics but to my eyes she's a beauty

I got some briar flavor when breaking in 2 of my first 3 bowls, but not from the third. Then I bought a Dublin bowl and didn’t bother with any sort of breaking in, and it has been perfectly fine. I probably won’t bother with it anymore.

Just a screenshot for now while I wait for them to arrive in the mail from GQ Tobaccos, but my Christmas present to myself this year was two Falcons. I've never owned a Falcon before and am really looking forward to giving them a try!
