It was the falcon pipe that got me into pipe smoking. More specifically the alco pipe. It belonged to my great grandfather and I found it in my grandfathers old shed. It holds a great deal of sentimental value and still is one of my favourite pipes

Looking back, the feather inlay thing seems to be something I do perhaps because of my fly fishing heritage.

Lovely Zen craftsmanship Pat. My latest bit of Zen was from ebay 10.00. "Cast iron ashtray, Ralph Waldo Emerson quote". After a clean its a bronze cast pen rest I think, with the Goddess Veritas or the Greek equivalent on a pedestal that says TRUTH. The quote is "The greatest homage we can pay to truth is to use it" Nice. Part of my new baccy delivery was SG Cannon Plug, Flipping heck! an acquired taste I think Pat. Very much like the G+H Reunion though.

Ah yes Jeff - I think the world needs the influence of the Goddess Veritas (Greek counterpart is Aletheia) more than ever today as truth is lacking everywhere and has been replaced with propaganda, deceit and lies. The Cannon is OK but a little too lightweight in my book. The Reunion grew on me and is quite good.

Going to be a lovely rod Pat and a centerpin will go nice with it. Really pro whipping Pat, how did you get it so perfect? By the way, what you got bubbling away in those fermenting jars?

Oh I 'm no great expert Steve but what I use works well enough. And yes, it will be grand with one of the centrepins soon. The mystery jars hold Parsnip wine that was made several months back.

Thanks Jorge - the Falcon can be used in any way that you deem fit as this is its strength. Either in rotation or like with the old farmers that smoked it hard all day long, all by itself.

Very nice Pat, do you use the old roach poles as well? Haven't been out winter roaching over the last couple of years - mostly for health reasons. some of my best days fishing were on the Stainy canal in january/February - Shaun

Hi Shaun, no- I have never been a pole fan myself. Being also a fly angler I am far too mobile to tie myself to one spot with a long pole and like the ability to wander along taking casts here and there, whilst searching out different pools.

Do not choose your tobaccos after you have had a few beers. If you do buy small amounts. Luckily I bought a small amount of G+H Coconut. I have put it in a jar with the last of the Balkan and 2 beans of vanilla. In months to come I might have created something lovely or something for the brown bin.
