Professor Frederick K. Kirsten was a genuine American original. He first sailed to this country in 1902, as a cabin boy from Hamburg, Germany. After successfully rounding the Horn and eluding the shanghai gangs of the West Coast, he navigated the educational system at the University of Washington to become a Professor of Aeronautical Engineering.
Here, his inventive spirit took wing. He created the world-famous Kirsten Wind Tunnel, Air-washing equipment for factories, an air-cooled Utopian Bed, and, most notably, a revolutionary propeller which enables boats to stop and turn on a dime. (Today, in the same waters where he jumped ship almost 100 years ago, ocean-going vessels are landed by sturdy tugs driven by Kirsten cycloidal propellers, piloted by equally sturdy captains smoking cool Kirsten pipes.)
Rightly called the coolest pipe in the world, this latter innovation came about in 1936 when a doctor advised Professor Kirsten to switch from cigarettes. He quickly dreamed up a way to trap the moisture, tars and tongue-biting acids which attack the users of briar pipes. You hold the inspired results in your hands.
After almost 50 years, Kirsten pipes are still produced by the Kirsten family, faithfully following the basic designs of this father of invention. When we're not making pipes, the Kirsten factory keeps busy turning out close tolerance parts for the latest Boeing aircraft
FILL BOWL PROPERLY:
Slightly moisten the interior of the imported Mediterranean briar bowl, and pour in as much tobacco as the bowl will hold in one charge. Compress the charge as tightly as possible with the thumb, forcing tobacco against the wall of the bowl. The bowl will become uniformly carbonized if, during your first smoke, you smoke slowly and do not let the fire go out until all the tobacco is burned.
SMOKE SLOWLY:
Because the KIRSTEN pipe bowl is scientifically designed, the pipe will give you a long smoke. It will "breathe" freely and will stay lit without constant puffing. While dissipating heat, the KIRSTEN Radiator Stem must necessarily become warm, but it should never become uncomfortably warm... IF YOUR KIRSTEN RADIATOR STEM BECOMES TOO WARM TO HOLD COMFORTABLY, YOU ARE SMOKING TOO FAST!
REMOVE MOISTURE FREQUENTLY:
A surprising amount of condensate accumulates in the Radiator Stem during each smoke. This moisture should be removed frequently by withdrawing the valve and draining the stem. It is not necessary to drain after each smoke, because the Radiator Stem can hold condensate from several bowls full of tobacco without impairing the quality of the smoke.
BOWL CARE:
Prevent moisture from returning to the bowl from the Radiator Stem by turning the valve to the 'off' position before tapping ashes from the pipe. This care will insure a clean, sweet bowl at all times. Avoid cracking the bowl by removing any accumulation of carbon (over 1/8" thick) on the inner surface. DO NOT TIGHTEN THE BOWL ON THE STEM WITH ANY MORE THAN FINGERTIP PRESSURE. Before you put your KIRSTEN pipe in your pocket, or before you lay it aside, always turn the valve to the 'off' position. This will seal moisture inside the stem and will prevent it form entering the bowl if the pipe is tipped. If you discontinue using your KIRSTEN pipe for a time, clean it thoroughly first, as drying tars and tobacco oils may "freeze" the valve and mouthpiece to the Radiator Stem.
DIRECTIONS FOR CLEANING:
(1) Remove the valve. Clean it both inside and outside, using ordinary absorbent tissue.
(2) Blow into the mouthpiece to remove all of the moisture.
(3) Remove the mouthpiece and wipe it off with the tissue.
(4) Push a wad of tissue through the Radiator Stem using the ramrod on the mouthpiece assembly (see illustration).
(5) Replace the valve and mouthpiece, and your pipe is ready to smoke again.
(6) Occasionally use an ordinary pipe cleaner to clean out the mouthpiece. The valve and Radiator Stem may be washed in soap and water Periodically clean out the cross-slots of the bowl screw to prevent it from plugging.
REMOVE CARBON... BUT NOT TOO MUCH!
Do not let the carbon layer in your bowl become more than 1/8" thick. Thicker carbon may cause the bowl to crack.
