Hey. Absolute nobody here, but please produce more content. It’s very well done, and anyone using the “F-word” in a pipe video has me as a subscriber. Anyway, just a word of encouragement.
64yo grandpa here. Haven't smoked a pipe since my college years and tobacco only a few times. Came across my mint Whitehall Italy briar from 1981. Did buy Captain Black because I'm old school, but with your help my first evening was real enjoyment. My house smells terrific. A new hobby. Thank you.
Wish I had this video when i started about a year ago, would have saved lots of trial and error! Really excellent, and great direction for a new piper. I think its really important to have clear, specific directions with the myriad of options available.
Hard to believe this is your first video. Great quality, very comprehensive, and concise. Goign to need some more content from you big dawg. Subscribed!
Fantastic video! Well filmed and edited and i was honestly shocked when i looked at the view count i was expecting it to be in the hundreds of thousands. Please make more content!
Great video. I just finished restoring 10 estate pipes from the 60s that I purchased at a NYC flee market in the early 1980s. I haven’t tried smoking any of them yet, but this was super helpful and is motivating me to give it a try this weekend. I did purchase a corncob for herbal smoking blends, so that will be the 1st I use. Keep the videos coming!!
I just recently started smoking a pipe. I was a cigarette smoker for 20 odd years, then switched to a vape several years ago. I started out with Backwoods Cherry, which I quite enjoy and I also ordered a Captain Black Dark, a black cavendish, which I also enjoy. Not sure why you would say the Captain Black is hard to smoke, it isn’t, and it’s pretty good, not as pleasant to those in the vicinity as the cherry but I think it’s good. As far as buying a pipe from Amazon or Etsy, this can be done as well. You just need to know what you are looking for, and always check the reviews, this will keep you from buying something you should not smoke out of. There are many different woods that can be made into pipes, the wood needs to be dense, and not produce harmful chemicals when heated. If you are looking to get into smoking a pipe, you are most likely contemplative and intelligent. You don’t need another man to tell you what not to do, you can figure that out on your own. Enjoy your smoke, gentlemen.
Exactly what I was looking for without all the ponce. Looking forward to more! Like, filters and gauze, do you even need them? Definitely gona pick up the corn pipes to begin with before I settle on a style and I think my first tobacco purchase will be a special trip to a smoke shop
This is a fantastic video for any begginer. It hits all the finer points that may be missed for a new smoker. But there is one thing i dissagree with. Presbyterian, i think there would be too much Lat for a new smoker. Maybe a EMP or Chealsy Morning, or plantation evening would give you a bit of a Vaper with a hint of Lat (if you really want to buy bulk.
Well done! I learned by experience (the hard way) how tightly to pack based on moisture content of the blend and humidity. Wish I’d seen this back when I started.
Thank you! Yeah it definitely requires some learning. I learned by experience as well so I figured making a video for people to learn without the trial and error would be beneficial!
Don’t just throw away a new tin of tobacco, for whatever reason you think you don’t like it. Give it some time. Try it more than once or twice, especially if you ar new to smoking, because you will have different opinions as time goes on and experience is acquired. Over all, great start up video. But I believe the smoking method is the most important part of learning to smoke which you said you were going to make a video about, so that’s great.
I've been smoking pipes about once a week for a couple years now. I smoke aromatics mostly in winter and tongue bite is an issue. Would really like your video on that topic.
Great job. You must like the vanilla custard, looks like you have a lot of it. I wouldn’t pack very, very tight on the last load. You never mentioned using matches to light your pipe. Looking forward to your future videos. Great start. 👍😃
Subscribed - Great info. I thought corncob pipes were just a cheap gimmick - may have to try that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Recently picked up a pipe. It's been over a decade of not smoking, and I've forgotten so much. Bought some not so cheap pouches of Borkum Riff at an overpriced smoke shop, and it's taken time to figure out how to pack it. I find that's usually the hardest part of the process for me. Appreciate the tips.
Hello. Great video. Learning a lot of things here. Cigar smoker here, interested in starting pipe smoking. Question. I have my brand of cigar, I love. Could I, in theory, take my cigar, break it down, and use it as a pipe tobacco?
@@gr1mkn1ght I've heard of people doing that, but I'm not 100% the right person to ask. I'd do some more research about it. Personally, I'd try to find a cut of Pipe Tobacco that's similar to what you like so you know that it can be packed and burned correctly.
Great tutorial, very informative from top to tail. On an aside, your Lav mic is fantastic: picking up the very soft sounds. Is the audio just the lav or did you use a secondary mic for the room tone? Been looking for a good lav. Vids that are completely devoid of room tone as seems the trend sound so sterile. Also can appreciate the dad joke patter.
What are the cons of inhaling? I’m using a pipe to get away from cigarettes. You and another guy have both said “you don’t inhale pipes” but even when I smoke cigars I inhale them. The extra bite feels great and I love it. Is it worse for you to inhale say an organicly grown Virginia compared to a cigarette?
@@McKannon You definitely can, it's just not going to be good for your lungs. It's more likely far better than cigarettes, but I'm not an expert. I'd read up on the dangers of doing that.
That was my first pipe. My brother found a nice kit with the pipe, a pouch, tamper and a handful of pipe cleaners. It was about $30 or so. That's a good jumping off point. If you decide this is the hobby for you, you'll find yourself collecting pipes and tobaccos and building quite the setup. Welcome to the brotherhood my friend.
First Rule from a 35 yr plus pipe smoker....AVOID RUclips PERIOD ...Start with cheap Cob pipe pick a tobacco or two (small mount ) Love or hate use your judgement !
@@curtbradley549 That's literally what I said in the video... Cob pipes and small amounts of a few different types of tobacco. Might wanna watch before you comment.
And corn cob pipes are some of the most common to have polyurethane on them. And Amazon makes a Birchwood pipe for $8 that is better than any 45/65 pipe you're not giving good advice bye-bye
get a pipe, get tobacco and a match. Go enjoy. Clean your pipe when it tastes funny. Its not harder than that. This level of nerdynes is not needed. Just like in wiskey or cigars, people make more than it is. Just enjoy it, you cant really do it wrong. But didnt expect anything else from a "craft beer hipster dude"
Helo,guys,smoking pipe is safe,than cigarate and cigar,that why tobacco pipe is low nicotine than cigar or cigarate,becauce,it so ,many mix,like alcohol,tar,poison of ants,and so on,but tobacco pipe is pure,original,nothing mix al all only like,the flavor is honey,or coklat,and so on,👌🤌🫰👍👍👍👍💛💚💙🩵🧡
I smoke both cigars and pipe tobacco. I can say with confidence that tobacco for pipes and cigars is way different than the process for cigarettes. I disagree with you about cigar, because the process is just as strict as pipe tobacco. A lot of them even use aging method that can last up to 5 years, just let the tobacco mature on its own. You should do research on premium cigars. There are thousands of brands just like pipe tobacco. And in the cigar world, the cigar smokers are often more fanatic about avoiding flavored or infused cigars. I don't see that kind of conviction in pipe community. Some lounges even prohibit flavored cigars because the smoke can interfere with the enjoyment of smoking cigar with pure premium tobacco.

I made two beginner mistakes according to your guidance, so I will remedy that. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Well done! And thanks, feel pretty confident that I’m gonna enjoy this new hobby. Please produce more.
Just got my first pipe, thank you for the great video and information!
Very good, now I learned how to pack my pipe, and how to smoke my pipe!
This is exactly the info I was after in the best format. Thank you!
Perfect video for a beginner 👍 I actually feel like I know what to look for to get started now
Glad it helped!

Amazing video. Iv been smoking the pipe for awhile now but still enjoyed it. Subscribed and I look forward to more videos from you.
This was really good. Would only add something on filters, especially if you’re recommending cobs.

Absolutely outstanding
Really good work! I learned a ton! Thank you. What is your favorite pipe? Favorite tobacco?
Fav pipe is the Erik The Red by Nording and favorite tobacco is Vanilla Custard by Sutliff
This was a fantastic video. Thank you.
Also I’m sure you’ve probably heard of them but on the off chance you haven’t, Maqueen pipes are absolutely worth checking out! Fantastic quality.
