I decided to pull the trigger on another Wiebe frame and bowl. This one a black radiator/curved stem frame, along with a brown blast stack bowl. I enjoy my other Wiebe pipes, and like this combo. The stacks weigh in at half the weight of his other bowls, so while it looks a bit large, the pipe weighs in at a combined 51g (21 bowl, and 30 frame). Even though it is slightly longer than my bent, this combo is not too bad for clenching.

I like. I don't have any component system pipes, but I've always found them intriguing. That stack would probably knock me out, though.

It looks much larger as part of the bowl is internally threaded. The chamber depth is 1.36 inches and width is .75 inches, so it is not far off from many mid sized pipes.

Very nice! I remain curious enough about the Wiebe pipes to eventually get one.

Nice score! I was actually looking at these this morning but I couldn't convince myself.

A nice looking pipe, it looks like it will deliver a long, cool smoke.

They're growing on me, too. Would look nice with my Viking and CDL, and eventually, a Falcon.

Falcon bodies and bowls have been fairly hard to source the past year or so with some sort of supply issues. I just bought a new Hyperbole bowl, but haven't been able to buy new bodies for many months.

I saw your post on the Hyperbole bowl. Really cool.

I've been keeping my eye out for Falcons as well. I have two US stems from my uncle and one other that I bought not long ago. All the bowls I have are functional, but well used, and I've been looking at possibly picking up some newer ones. I also wouldn't mind finding one of the shillelagh frames. Those are pretty neat looking. As you mentioned, current pickings are thin.

If you need a couple bowls and aren't super picky, tobaccopipes are carrying one or two of several different bowl types. They only had the one Hyperbole when I bought it last week.
