Pipes on the ships of old were nothing new. Tobacco and rum made their appearance in short order with tobacco inherited from American Indians and rum from the Caribbean. Smoking aboard ship was allowed by limited to a safe area and at safe times, ergo the "smoking lamp". Where? Usually near the Galley, as it is here. A huge thanks to the amazing da'rum - a man of high ideals and many talents. This is just one of them.
Stunning! I'll bet you're salivating over this one. For those who love their Falcon's but also enjoy a bit of art and yes, meerschaum - a no brainer...
I probably won't be 'allowed' to buy one yet as the memory of my last big purchase hasn't sufficiently faded. You or Dai could splurge on one for your Falcons.

I know some of the Turks use a plastic ring with threads which I thought might be more widely used by custom pipe makers as Falcon pipes are very popular and there are loads floating round secondhand. I would like to see Morta or Olive wood bowls for Falcons.
Life is under no obligation to give us what we expect!
