Show Us Your Falcons!

Bagged a even rarer Falcon made in Ireland stem.... And die stamp 1. Lovely bowl too.

And finally, a Falcon box set empty which I've rehoused an unboxed set into of similar vintage.

I’ve wanted the Falcon brown bent stem ever since my wife pointed out that it looks like copper: I like hunting for float copper up north. 4noggins was one of the few places that still had it, so I ordered it for myself for my birthday (copper nugget shown for color comparison)



Since I was buying another stem, why not buy another bowl too? The Snifter looked a little large at first, but I like it.

Those snifter bowls really suit the bent Falcons. Good choice.

I hadn't seen the combination before, but I agree: they're good together.

But my wife thinks that I have bad taste in pipe shapes and styles: "either 60s businessman or wizard". So I told her to buy me a few pipes in a style she likes, but she didn't fall for it.

Nice try though

I love the snifter I have. I’ve seen some meer snifters…but resisted…

I like the look of the meer lined snifters. Especially in the darker ebony like finishes.

A meer-lined snifter is a tempting thought. I've never tried meerschaum before, and like the idea of a meer or meer-lined bowl.

Be aware that the meerschaum insert in the bowl creates a very small chamber. Falcon seems to use their standard chambered bowls and add the meer so the chambers are quite small. My blasted apple bowl with insert is huge with a tiny chamber!

Here’s my other 2. A straight made in the USA with a vulcanite stem and a modern bent made in England.

Ah, thank you for the insight: I’ll get a meerschaum bowl instead. I appreciate the detail!
