    My Kirsten

    I have Kirsten that was badly abused. I have rebuilt it and although I do not often smoke it I do like how it performs. The smoke is dry and the pipe cleans up nicely. It is a good travel pipe but the better half says that it is ugly. I have 2 oz of Bob's Chocolate Flake to through in the...

    I agree with all of the statement. But I have read that if the stem/ shank of the Falcon is heated that it will come apart. :study: :affraid:

    Carey Magic Inch?

    I have one from the 60's I think. It is made of Grecian Brier. A nice cross grain, I did not care for the way it smoked. So, I put electrical tape over the vents. The air diluted the flavor. It is now fitted with a normal stem and is a good smoker. If you find an old one I say get it and...

    Somebody Please Clue Me In

    I had one of the leather covered ones. I was a noob what did I know? It was heavy and fat and did not smoke well. Maybe it had to much insulation. I chucked it like so many of my early pipes. :joker:

    House of Calabash S. Books Seven of Nine

    Hi AJ. Did you get ahold of House of Calabash? After reading the comments about Dunhill Flake, I had better pop my tin and see how it compares. So many blends so little time. :affraid: :affraid: :affraid: :flower:

    Bummer. That smoke was here in N Cal through Wednesday. The wind shifted and cleared it out. I guess you can try it again. I hope so. I does not look like we can make it up there this year anyway. But we were hoping for mid August. Oh well. :no:

    Things have changed since last year. Yes, the damage from that storm is impressive. The trees form the JMT to the Agnew Meadow parking lot were stacked 15- 20 feet high. Have a good trip.
