Falcon Pipe Stem - Hunter Straight

Falcon pipes are best known for their 100's of different stem, bowl & mouthpiece combinations to create your perfect pipe. One of the many benefits to owning a falcon pipe is the fact you can have 2 or 3 interchangeable bowls whilst using only the one stem, which allows you to smoke different tobaccos in different bowls and allows the briar to rest between smokes. The Falcon pipe is easy going on the pocket too but guarantees to deliver a top quality smoke every time.

Falcon was the first manufacture to apply the scientific principles and precision engineering to pipe design, so creating a revolutionary system, which provides a cooler, smoother, cleaner smoke. This is achieved in several stages:

*The central plug allows the right amount of smoke (but not tobacco) to pass through.

*The special aluminum "humidome" cools the smoke by condensation.

*The 'goo' is trapped below the stem line to give a clean smoke.

*The central cooling tube is made from aluminum only .008" thick, yet incredibly strong.

*This allows the smoke to be cooled still further before reaching the sealed mouthpiece.

Falcon mouthpieces are sealed to the center tube. Any attempt to remove the mouthpiece will result in damage to the center tube.

American engineer Mr Kenly Bugg, of Fort Wayne, Indiana invents the Falcon Pipe, with its aluminum stem and interchangeable briar bowls. He bases the system on the principle that causes rain to drop from a cloud when it is met by cool air. To achieve this result, Mr Bugg uses aluminum for its lightness and, more importantly, for its quick dispersal of heat. In this manner coolness is obtained. The briar bowl, designed with a four-start thread connected to the aluminum stem, forms a trap in which the 'Humidome' acts as a condenser. This ensures that all the moisture is trapped, thereby leaving the tobacco free from saturation and preventing 'goo' from reaching the mouth of the smoker.

Falcon introduces an entirely new concept to pipe smoking in 1977, the Falcon International Filter Pipe, with detachable mouthpiece for optional filter use.
