    Bought this pipe bc my grandpa smoked this pipe while working on the farm. Tonight is the first time I have smoked it. Very unique set-up! Im glad I got it, if only to remember him!! Found your video to see what others had to say about it.

    I have collected a number of Falcons over the past 60 years, and I have found they all live up to everything you've said about them. I don't often smoke aromatic tobacco but when I do, I usually smoke it in a Falcon since it is very easy to clean and I am able to dedicate particular bowls to aromatic baccies and thus not worry too much about "ghosting".

    Good morning. Just watched your vid on the Falcon Pipe. I have 2 of them. The oldest is 29 years old and the newest is 23 years old. I have enjoyed many a pipe full especially on camping/fishing trips with a fellow pipe smoker. Great pipes. Another metal pipe you might check out is the Kirsten pipe made in Seattle Washington. The grand daughter still runs the store. Machined aluminum aircraft body with interchangeable bowls. Several different bodies and numerous bowls. I enjoy your vids.

    I have several Falcon pipes that I smoke regularly. I even picked up a new meerschaum bowl for $1 at an antique store because they weren't sure what it was.

    In another age, I think shortly after the dinosaurs disappeared, my high school football coach would smoke a pipe on the bus going to and from our games. I liked the smell of the tobacco. I didn't know what it was at the time, (I didn't know anything about pipes, so no surprise there) but I remember thinking what an interesting pipe he smoked. It was a Falcon.

    great review. I have two Falcons, my chrome straight pipe with the smooth Dublin bowl is my go to pipe. my second is a black, full bend pipe mated with a meerchem lined hyperbole rustic bowl. It's amazing the weight difference between the two bowls. I prefer the Dublin bowl because it is much lighter and easy to clench for long periods. The Falcon pipes are really easy to clean and clear out moisture without having to worry about fitment issues from hot disassembly. The only issues I have with the pipes is the amount of moisture they develop and the high temperature the base reaches when the ember reaches the bottom of the bowl. I also discovered as the bowl builds cake, it will choke off where the button enters the bottom of the bowl. I had to scrape away the carbon with a pocket knife in order to clear the pathway to allow air (and smoke) to pass. I use this pipe a lot and have had to ream the bowl twice in the year I've owned it. (it's do for another reaming and will get maintenance as soon as I remember where I put my reaming kit.)

  • @gordonhenderson1194
    @gordonhenderson1194 6 лет назад +2

    It's probably the best selling type of pipe over here, and I have to say they are incredibly practical for anyone who spends time outdoors. If you break any part it's really easy to fix, and can be adapted to prefference, unlike any other pipe I know of. The joys of standardisation allowing retrofit parts...... Mine is the black "Hunter" version, no shiny bits on it for obvious reasons. I quite fancy trying a meershaum lined bowl on it and see how it goes.

    • @MuttnchopPiper

  • @ollewahlroos7680

    Falcon's are part of my collection. There's a only thing that I hate in them is the break in the new bowl...vile and terrible.,after that everything is okay. Dublin bowl and some Orlik's Golden Sliced a right bliss.Thank you for the video.

    • @MuttnchopPiper
      @MuttnchopPiper  8 лет назад +2

      Yea, I agree, breaking in a new bowl is a chore, but worth it, they are great smokers, and right on with the golden sliced, love that blend as well 👍

  • @SpockIOM
    @SpockIOM 2 года назад +2

    I really like my Falcon! If you’ve got a tobacco that burns hot for you in a briar, one of these could be the solution. Plus the bowls are different sizes and shapes so you can tailor the look and length of the smoke you want. Also, it’s very handy being able to take 2 or 3 bowls and just the one stem out with you for the day. Just make sure you let the bowl cool down before unscrewing to replace with another - the heat can affect the thread on the bowls so you want them to contract back into place before changing!

    @ajohnson153 5 лет назад +1

    I know this is an old video, but I just found and cleaned up an old Dr Grabow Viking pipe for about $10 at an antique store. I just had my first smoke in it knowing nothing about the trick of wrapping a pipe cleaner around the center post in the condensation chamber. I certainly wish I had found this video before that. I'll definitely remember that before the next time I smoke it.

    Falcon Pipes are great for aromatics. I discovered Falcons a long while back watching the 1980 Canadian horror movie "My Bloody Valentine." The actor in the movie playing the town's police chief smoked a Falcon Pipe in several scenes and I just fell in love with the design seeing the pipe used in that movie. I have a book I placed somewhere on the history of Falcon Pipes, if I can find it I tell you the name if you're interested.

    • @MuttnchopPiper

    • @Cosmic__Radiation
      @Cosmic__Radiation 7 лет назад +1

      Muttnchop Piper Yes, they are on the expensive side to operate (some of them to buy too). The one I have has an option of just using the fire lights without the heater. Which is nice because it's less money. My apartment is also rather small so when I do run the heater it's not to much of a cost impact. I love sitting around it with a good book, and a nice blend of tobacco, rather relaxing.......

    • @jamesr5574

    This a great video and I love my falcon, but you’re wrong about 1 thing. Our biggest enemy in the pipe world isn’t heat, it’s politicians.

  • @tehz4x0r1
    @tehz4x0r1 7 лет назад +3

    Very interesting! And a cool design.
    Here is my concern, what is known to me only as blue lung. Which is a condition associated with inhaling aluminum dust and from smoking, usually pot I believe, out of aluminum cans or pipes/bats. Now I could be wrong about that but I have always heard that heating aluminum can cause this. I see that the bowl is not aluminum, but I would still want to know more about the effects, if any of drawing hot smoke through an aluminum shaft.
    I love every video I’ve seen from you, especially you stories and music. And you opinions and knowledge of pipes, tobacco and smoking are greatly appreciated.

    • @MuttnchopPiper
      @MuttnchopPiper  7 лет назад +1

      Zachary Sivers - I have never heard of this condition, thanks for bringing it to light, I will have to do some research on this subject myself. 👍👍👍

    • @keinepinghits8145
      @keinepinghits8145 6 лет назад +3

      I know about aluminum cans being dangerous if you smoke pot out of them, but as it seems, the problem isn't really the aluminum, it's the coatings and colorings, which are on those cans. And even if the problem was the aluminum, as we all know, you don't inhale with pipe tobacco, unless you are literally hotboxing a really small room, which I know is something that usually you only do with pot ;D

    Hey there Mr. Muttnchop, I love your videos. I've picked up an old and dirty Falcon pipe at the flea market the other day, and I don't have any idea how to deep clean and sanitize it. Thought it worth the shot to ask you

    • @viralviolin9468
      @viralviolin9468 3 года назад +4

      Hello there, it’s been four years since you posted this comment so you have almost certainly found a way to deep clean your falcon pipe - I was only going to suggest you might try alcohol, as it is a good pipe cleaning agent, but be careful not to get it on the finish of the bowl as a lot of the finishes can be damaged by alcohol. Hope this helps! Take care 🙂

  • @MuttnchopPiper
    @MuttnchopPiper  8 лет назад +2

    Thanks, just smoked mine for the first time, and I have to say, it was a little hot, I think it needs a carbon cake, I'll keep smoking it, it should cool down once I get a carbon cake.

    • @BrunoModigliani
      @BrunoModigliani 8 лет назад +1

      +Muttnchop Piper Have it properly worked? I was thinking of buying one Falcon pipe but didn't know if it really made a difference. The other day we talked about the problem 1ve been facing with the overheating of virginias. I think the answer will be on a mix of different approaches, like blending the tobacco (as advised by you), changing the pipe and trying to puff a little slower (I don't usually puff hard, on the contrary, I tend to have long and mild puffs but sometimes I have problem in keeping the pipe lit and I think I might have been puffing too often, overheating the bowl). As I previously said, it happens mainly with virginias. Muttnchop, I've never had a Peterson pipe, do you know something about the Peterson system pipe, which was developed to cool down the smoke by supposedly keeping the moisture in a special reservoir (pipedia.org/wiki/A_closer_look_at_the_famous_Peterson_Standard_System_Pipe)? And again I need to emphasize the quality of your channel. A true "university of pipe smoking", lots of relevant information balanced with relaxing and casual facts about the world of pipes. Congrats!

    • @MuttnchopPiper
      @MuttnchopPiper  8 лет назад +2

      +Bruno Modigliani I am sorry but I don't know anything about the Peterson system pipe, I'm thinking of purchasing one but right now I don't have any info on it

    • @BrunoModigliani
      @BrunoModigliani 8 лет назад +2

      It may work. But probably, as a drawback, the cleaning process might be much more difficult. I think the best thing at my stage is to practice many different techniques while smoking my favourite tobaccos, applying a good balance of tampering and airing (as you've taught on other video, by the fireplace also), blending tobaccos etc. We pipers always seem to enjoy buying new pipes, but it might be much more enjoyable in the end to develop and improve one's techniques... Thanks again! As I've found it very informative, yesterday I've advertised your channel in a Facebook group here in Brazil (Confraria Amigos do Cachimbo -facebook.com/groups/cachimbo/?fref=ts). I hope it will be as useful to the other users as it's been to me. Keep on with this very well done project!

  • @-----REDACTED-----
    @-----REDACTED----- 5 лет назад +1

    I just made the unfortunate discovery today that, when it is warm outside, smoking a pipe can turn from the usually joyous experience to a rather sour one quickly...
    But I think with a Falcon I may be able to counteract the heating up of even the stem (which until today has stayed always cool with my pipes): just wrap a bit of cotton around it and soak in water. The convection should increase the cooling capabilities potentially making enjoying a pipe despite warm outside temperatures possible...
    (I have a strict outdoors smoking policy. No matter how much one filters the air and all that some residues are likely left, and I will not subject my fellow housemates to second-hand smoke unless they want it - and so far they don’t, which is perfectly fine).

    • @MuttnchopPiper

      Muttnchop Piper it’s all about evaporation. That’s also why sweating cools down the body and wind feels colder. I am so glad I didn’t sleep through physics and chemistry class in school...😂
      (Now one still has to see wether it will work with the falcon, but I have high hopes and am ready to order, just need my end of month wage).

My Health is great, but my computer that I use to upload videos is on its last legs, I have had it repaired twice, and the last tech said it won’t be long and it will be un-Usable. I don’t have the money to replace it, that’s why there hasn’t been much content lately, I’m trying to keep it running, if it goes, that’s it until I can save up to purchase a new one, sorry shouldn’t dump my problems on you, but I appreciate you being there to listen to me vent.
