Love my traditional Falcon pipes and the International series as well, here’s a small sampling of what I have.  I really enjoy my Kirsten’s as well, there’s a lot of good information on the internet about the first era, they are different than the later era Kirsten pipes so you should Google First era Kirsten’s before you decide to tackle breaking it down for cleaning, here is a small sampling of my Kirsten’s.  The new kid on the metal pipe block is by Weibe, here is mine with a Morgan Bones Vergin stack bowl.  banjo |

I checked out the Kirsten Pipes,watched a few videos and seemed pretty interesting.I put in a bid on ebay for a. Kirsten estate pipe.I didn't think I would win because I only bid 21.00 Looks like I will be receiving that bad boy next week,its a first generation type m. I'm hoping I can clean it up a bit and get it in my rotation.I have read that some of them require o rings and some don't.I guess I'll have to wait and see if this one uses them or not.Its my understanding that some of the earlier versions did not use them and depending on the model of the later versions there are 2 sizes of O rings available. I'm pretty excited to get it.I see from the Kirsten web page that some Turkish bowls might be still available. Congratulations. Let us know how you think it smokes for you. |

The stem is all Black. |

Here is one of my older Falcon pipes I restored a few years ago. I made the briar chimney bowl. It’s an excellent smoker👍👍👍   |

A few of my NOS in the same family type of smokers as the Falcon. The knife is a one of a kind, I made the custom wood handle scales from Leopard Burl wood. The knife was gifted to a friend recently.  |
