Hi Steve, thanks for the new subscription, enjoy the Digest immensely

"ahmad arzhan" asked (Digest #279) about Falcon pipes.

Can recommend Norman Harrison (James Barber Tobacconists) at www.smoke.co.uk
for Falcon pipes; good selection.
Also mentioned in Digest #249 and since then in the resources list.

Superb mail order service, ordered one myself recently and was very
impressed. Excellent communication and same day postage (also paid no more
for this than the cost of the stamps). I live in Germany; international
shipping was uncomplicated.

Harrison's delivered a Falcon meerschaum lined "Hyperbole" bowl which smokes
beautifully

Have smoked Falcons for 11 years now and like them; they have a "technical"
look and feel to them that appeals to my questionable taste (but combine a
straight brown anodized stem with a "Dublin" bowl and the pipe looks like
any other apart from close up).
They smoke similar to filtered pipes; sometimes the smoke feels too cool for
my taste which is why I smoke traditional unfiltered briar pipes as well
(favourite is a little sandblasted featherweight Stanwell in "Canadian"
form). Apart from several Falcons I also have the ubiquitous corncob (yeah,
so much for the technical look and feel...).

I read a lot about "The Pipe" in the digest and on Billie W Taylor's
excellent homepage, got one via ebay recently and am eagerly awaiting
delivery.

Looking forward to the next digest
keep the fires burning
Kevin
