First smoke in this recent antique store find and refurbish. Just finished cleaning this up this morning. I posted my endeavors here:

I’m smoking a personal mixture that I’m really starting to enjoy a lot.

Enjoyed a tasty navel orange, did a second set of walking reps, and am not far from finishing this bowl of Prince Albert in an undated, unbranded straight smooth brown made in France Los Alton VBF Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem.

Another bowl of 10 year aged Samuel Gawith Commonwealth Mixture, this time in a well beaten but much loved Falcon Straight.

Im curious as to how much folks who have meer bowls on falcons enjoy them, did you find there is a discernable difference?

View attachment 141166

I love my Falcons! Very practical and always deliver a cool dry smoke as promised. I have three straight stems and 10 bowls: two are meer lined and one is block meer. To be honest, they all smoke well and I really can’t detect any difference. I smoke va’s and va/pers 99% of the time and St Bruno for a change of pace and a dose of British Codger. Falcons are great!

Hit the links this morning down in Wilmington with the Old Devil Dog Farts, a rather unofficial and informal group with the sole requirement for admission is to be a retired senior enlisted leatherneck with a low IQ. Cigars were smoked; Padron 2000s for me.Then it was a frontal assault on the club lounge where we held our position armed with booze and wild tales until relieved by our significant others, notably our wives and girlfriends (a support unit described as the Designated Driver Brigade).

Now at home on the porch watching the surf smoking a bowl of Wilke Crystal Palace.
