Don't blame me! The fault lies squarely with the guy in the Deadpool mask. He's the one that finally tipped me into trying one.AimlessWanderer and Brandaves are going to have this whole sub smoking Falcons before too long!
I've got one, and I'm still having trouble getting past the look tooThey do look cool. I really like the idea of swapping bowls. And I haven't found a cheaper meerschaum lined bowl. But I'm having trouble getting past the looks .
All my pipe cleaners are tapered. I've never bought straight ones for some reason. The thin end of the tapered ones is fine on my Falcon, but the fat end isn't. Obviously, even if you start with the tine end, it starts getting more restrictive as you pass more of the pipe cleaner down. I don't know how standard straight pipe cleaners compare on diameter.IIRC “modern” Falcons have a slightly larger airway and should pass a pipe cleaner.
They are about as thin as the tapered ends on yours.All my pipe cleaners are tapered. I've never bought straight ones for some reason.

That's interesting... so are Falcon Extra Thin...They are about as thin as the tapered ends on yours.
Hmm I could be wrong.That's interesting... so are Falcon Extra Thin...![]()
No, I was speaking of the brand of the pipe cleaners I use. BJ Long are just standard regular old pipe cleaners. Falcon makes a thinner proprietary pipe cleaner but from what I could tell you could get away with using any old pipe cleaner.I think I am going to give one a try. One question. You mentioned "long pipe cleaners". Does this pipe require longer pipe cleaners?
Smoke cooler, not burn cooler. It potentially lowers the temperature of the smoke in your mouth, but not what's happening in the bowl.Is this pipe suppose to burn cooler? Is that the main selling point? Or is it the fact that you can change bowls easily?
It's also very cool looking. That could be it's main selling point.
It’s really that it’s supposed to smoke drier. Moisture in the smoke condenses in the chamber below the bowl and you get a drier smoke. The effect is that it seems cooler and probably is because it doesn’t have as much water vapor in it.Is this pipe suppose to burn cooler? Is that the main selling point?

That’s one of Mummert’s funkier ones, but he had a more standard looking one with glass shank that I wavered over lol.What do you guys think about this pipe...especially if you aren't in love with the look of the falcon. I can't get behind this one...

My initial thought was to check the sub and make sure this was the Brown Leaf and not another color.What do you guys think about this pipe...especially if you aren't in love with the look of the falcon. I can't get behind this one...
I’m waiting for one that looks like a 57 Chevy where you suck the tailpipeWhat do you guys think about this pipe...especially if you aren't in love with the look of the falcon. I can't get behind this one...
Beautiful. Now that’s a pipe! I ride the White Elephant daily.If you can be tempted with a more nature based form of transport...
