I have several pipes but my favorites are the Falcon pipes. I bought one new probably 35 years ago and a few used ones in the last several years. The bowl unscrews from the base of the pipe which is made of metal. You can dump out the liquid that accumulates and cleaning it is a snap. The bowls and bases are interchangeable as are the stems. They tend to smoke cool because the metal stem allows much of the heat to dissipate as the smoke is drawn through it.


We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
