Same here, the Falcon is a perfect travel pipe. Mine lives in my truck with a couple spare bowls.First impressions, I have to like the looks of a pipe and for me it passes that test, I’m all over the place with different styles of pipes. This pipe is also light in weight and the draw is excellent. The first smoke was an aromatic, it smoked very dry, so far I am impressed. I travel with my pipes a lot and I think my falcon will be perfect for that, especially camping. Thanks for asking @Chasing Embers
Brown Irish X is definitely different than Black but just as strong. I like brown better than black except for those once in a lifetime urges I get to just grab the grate off my Weber and give it a long wet lick lolBought me some Brown X but am chicken to try it. Have some Black X and it's one of the stranger smokes I've ever had. Truly tasted like meat to me. I've read it needs some time, so I sliced it and jarred it up.
In case you missed it this is from a previous post.
I have several Savinelli filter pipes I use to smoke an occasional aromatic. Here's how to save money on the filters. Instead of buying the actual filters. I go on ebay and buy a pack of balsa wood rods in the right size (3/16x1/8") and cut them to length and that's it. Cost is about 10% the cost of filters and they work just as well. A tip: if you cut the ends on a slight angle the pipe draws better.
