I used to love watching my dad smoke his pipe! He passed away peacefully and conscious until his last few breaths, as he closed his eyes last December age 94 I’ve got his pipes!
Coffee with my morning pipe, and then tea goes wonderfully with virginias, perhaps my favorites being a cold southern sweet tea or green tea. Cheers! -Kevin
Hello Richard from Bangkok, Thailand. I will be heading back to America tomorrow. So I had some time to view your video and enjoyed it very much. I have enjoyed pipe smoking a bit over a year now and I quite agree with you on all points. My ancestry is of England but have had no opportunity to visit. Your demeanor is quite pleasant to me. Thank you for taking time to make your most interesting videos.
I watched this the other day and forgot to leave a comment, I was a long term roll your own smoker and decided to ditch them and take up the pipe maybe three years ago now and looking back to when I was a young lad of sixteen I started to smoke the pipe but was ribbed by my mates so I started to roll my own and looking back I should have stuck two fingers up at them because I just enjoy the pipe so much, trying different blends and the pipe takes your mind away into deep thinking and relaxing and as someone who suffers with PTSD the pipe settles you down when you get rattled. Great vide Sir thoroughly enjoyed it up here in Gods county of North Yorkshire.
Thanks for this Richard. I've started pipe smoking now and very much enjoying it. I've been growing my own tobacco in the UK and harvested my first leaves this year and smoked some which is great. Now have enough for the winter. I bought Organic Golden Virginia Tobacco seeds two years ago. You'll end up with thousands of seeds from one plant to keep it going.
I really appreciate how eloquently you put all the positives of smoking a pipe. I hope you get to enjoy it for years to come. Lord knows I'm not going to stop enjoying it for anyone
Finally! Another pipe smoker who appreciates a glass of milk when they smoke. Most of my friends, when I tell them I drink milk when I smoke they laugh at me lol
Pipe smoking reminds me of my father who was an aficionado. It also reminds me of the tobacconist shop where my dad would send me to buy his Golden Block tins of tobacco. The shop keeper knew my dad and had no qualms selling to me as a child as he knew where it was going. I saw a tv documentary years ago about people growing tobacco in the UK. They said it was healthier because they picked it with less sap in it, used no chemicals and cured it themselves.
Revor Plug rubbed cut and dried for 40 mins with Blue Mountain coffee at elevenses. Deep joy. Carnation Milk in the coffee, Or a shot of Jamesons and a bowl of Condor. Try telling that to the kids today. A pipe is the new garlic bread.
I've been smoking pipes for about threes years and enjoy it very much. It's meditative and relaxing. I favor Peterson pipes and smoking English blends and enjoy a cup of tea with it. I enjoy your videos, they're informative and classy.
Keep the pipe smoking videos coming Richard. Really enjoy them. I bought a Peterson pipe and as a novice still to have my first smoke. Keeping it for a special occasion. Cheers 👍
Arthur Morris (tobacconist) still exists in Bolton. The shop was established in 1903 and still has all the original fixtures and fittings. The aroma in there is amazing! ❤
My husbands dad smoked a pipe for over 50 years he lived until he was 83. The thing is you can live a clean healthy life but life is still short so you have to enjoy it! Love your books in the background, more people need to read books and cut the media time down. My Nan read books she lived to 101 my dad who is 82 loves books and I too love to now read books 📚 📖 love to see another vlog on your books and maybe some charity shop book shopping! 😁
What a great gentleman you are. My late Grandfather was a pipe smoker and they are my fondest childhood memories the times I spent with him. D Day veteran too.
My late father was a pipe smoker, I have so many memories of him smoking it. He lived to be 83 I still have his pipes on his pipe stand in my home. I’ve even thought of smoking one of them just like I did when I was a young boy 😂
The one thing that I find cozy it the thought of a group of pipesmokers just sitting down and contemplating over different subjects. Would love for that to happen. Sounds like I have to travel back to England to have a smke with you sir Hahaha
i stopped smoking cigarettes and started smoking pipe after your first video about that topic.Very inspiring,thanks for all your content ! If u can get some, try the tobaccos from Vauen, an old german company..they are wonderful !
Hello Richard from Richard Alcohol is nice while you smoke the pipe. But it actually dissloves your natural protective layers on your muccus system while it's in contact with it. Which of course matters if you want to smoke and do it in a healthy way at tze same time. Burned tobacco is rather acidic (Ph value), so enjoying something rather basic is commended. I really enjoy having a tea (either herbal infusions, yorkie or earl grey) it makes the flavours pop even more! Happy smokes, greetings from Switzerland Richard
You have found the same things in pipes as I have over the last two years. I like taking walks and a pipe. I do not drink much when I smoke a cigar or pipe
Lovely tobacconist in Bexhill-on-sea. Stevens Tabaccos, St. Leonards Road, Bexhill. They've been there for years. Sell everything you could possibly want for smoking.😊
I can recommend Rattrays Bagpipers blend and Comoy’s Cornish blend….after three years of pipe smoking these are my personal favourites…although I continue to explore too.
My answer is; When I smoke my pipe, I use to drink Black Coffee, strong and self grinded. Or raw milk like you do. And while smoking, I indeed am contemplating. My preferred pipes are the old fashioned bended Peterson pipes. Just the ones like Sherlock Holmes were smoking.
I have Organic coffee with my pipe work well together. I am buying Flake pipe tobacco at the minute have to hand rub it for the pipe but it's great. I started smoking a pipe on your first video Richard.
I've only started smoking a pipe these past few months and prefer the flakes too they seem to burn slower and last longer. I get on a role sipping them lol
Hello Sir! I’m really enjoying your videos! I’m 61, but have only been smoking a pipe for a few years now, but I’m really enjoying it, along with your videos!
I parked my car in a loading bay today and was smoking my pipe next to my car when the traffic warden came over. I said I was loading my pipe. Turned out, he liked a cigar. I recommended him some quality cigars, shook hands, and off he went
Excellent stuff Richard.I started pipe smoking earlier this year, it's a very relaxing hobby. I would thoroughly recommend acquiring some Missouri Meerschaum corncob pipes, they smoke beautifully. Agree on the nasty labels, I'm 54 years old and having paid extortionate tax I don't appreciate being lectured.
I absolutely love the smell of pipe being smoked. When I hear the smell outside I try to go close to the person smoking to experience it a little longer. That being said I am also very tall 6’4” and I used to smoke cigarettes when I was younger, and I had to stop because I felt the negative effects on my body right away. Because I’m tall my body struggles pumping all that blood around and as soon as nicotine enters the system, blood vessels contract even more and I start losing sensation in my left leg and foot beneath the knee (there is a fair deal of varicose going on). The bottom line is because I feel the negative effects of smoking right away, it helps me to stay away from it. (Also the fear of losing my leg helps). I truly envy people who don’t get affected as much and can enjoy the meditation and the aesthetics of pipe smoking. I’ll stay away from it.
I started smoking a pipe about three years ago I tried many different pipe tobaccos and was so disappointed that I could not find the rich sweet aromatic pipe tobacco that took me back to the 1960s and 1970s it might have been an Ogden's pipe tobacco but not sure but I remember it had a sweet aromatic smell I wish I could find that tobacco if I could I would gladly take to the pipe I used to buy my tobacco from a well known tobacco importer but still never found the tobacco I wanted. It's all about nostalgia and that's not a bad thing
I am not a smoker, but this is a cozy videos. Maybe you can smoke a pipe in new videos when you and Julia are on the road and traveling around and share new stories.
I remember an uncle pipe smoking. The lounge was well aired, so when I walked in the room the smell wasn't stale. When he freshly lit, the smell was devine. He mostly smoked Borkum Riff; but rarely something different. Memories….🥹
You're onto something. I'll watch these videos til the cows come home. You might be onto something with growing your own toh-ba'koe. I'm in Australia and just googled it all... hardly anything. Mostly bongz n vape stuff.
My Brother grew tobacco in his garden, in Dorset UK. It grew really well, huge leaves. The problem came in curing the stuff. He followed the rules, but still ended up burning his taste buds with the Ammonia from the tobacco. He rolled Cigars. I think he might have rushed it. I suspect it takes a long time and much washing, to get rid of the Ammonia. However, native peoples seem to just dry the stuff and smoke it, without a problem. I need to investigate the native methods, and old methods, of preparing tobacco. It must be easier than the modern mass production methods.
I would highly recommend you watch Malcolm Guite and his videos. He is a nostolgic gentleman, a pastor, a poet and a very impressive person. He loves his pipes and writes about them.
Enjoy your pipe, I'm smoking pipes since I was 15 I'm 46 now, I've smoked shaggy tobacco cigarettes and everything in between, all toxic, except pipe tobacco
just what I've been looking into recently, It appears to be quite successful here with seeds available to grow your own, as long as you don't sell it, would make an excellent bartering product!
Ashton used to make pipes as well, i have one and it's that rare pipe where everything about it is just right. I've not got around to trying any of their tobaccos but Artisan's Blend seems to be the one most aligned to my tastes if i could just find it (it's out of stock everywhere i've looked)
Coffee and a pipe…Guinness and a pipe… Lagavulen 16 yo or Skybank or Compass Box typically in that order… however, coffee by far. Thanks for the video!
When I was married some years back, I made my (now ex) wife a pipe. It had a ceramic bowl shaped as a mischievous goblin head with gold earings, and the stem was seasoned elderwood. I've no idea if he still has it.
I used to love watching my dad smoke his pipe!
He passed away peacefully and conscious until his last few breaths, as he closed his eyes last December age 94
I’ve got his pipes!
Sorry for your lost..
Coffee with my morning pipe, and then tea goes wonderfully with virginias, perhaps my favorites being a cold southern sweet tea or green tea. Cheers! -Kevin
Lovely to see the Hobbiton Piper here! Love your pipe videos!
@@Saxonx500 that’s great to hear, thank you! :)
One of my grandfathers used to smoke a pipe. He was born in 1909 and died in 1999.
Such a relaxing video. Love the content.

Thanks Richard. You have epitomized what pipe smoking is all about.
Nothing compares to a Peterson deluxe pipe,Condor tobacco and a mug of freshly brewed coffee...Heaven.
Thanks for this Richard. I've started pipe smoking now and very much enjoying it. I've been growing my own tobacco in the UK and harvested my first leaves this year and smoked some which is great. Now have enough for the winter. I bought Organic Golden Virginia Tobacco seeds two years ago. You'll end up with thousands of seeds from one plant to keep it going.
Thanks for sharing that Polaris. 😊
Right on, Im going to grow some next season.👍
Excellent 👍if you have a surplus can I place an order 🤔😆👍
Smoked a pipe for years, best way to destress and relax.
I really appreciate how eloquently you put all the positives of smoking a pipe. I hope you get to enjoy it for years to come. Lord knows I'm not going to stop enjoying it for anyone
Your accent is perfect w/ the pipe ! Love your vids !!

No worries violentmoonofthenorth, it's peacefulsunofthesouth ere Honey. I hope your smoking your pipe. 👍
Been smoking a pipe for over 30 years. Love the zippo pipe lighters, have had mine many years.
Enjoy your pipe journey.
Arthur Morris (tobacconist) still exists in Bolton. The shop was established in 1903 and still has all the original fixtures and fittings. The aroma in there is amazing! ❤
Awesome as your video popped up my confirmation for my pipe tobacco has just come through should hopefully get it in the morning.
My husbands dad smoked a pipe for over 50 years he lived until he was 83. The thing is you can live a clean healthy life but life is still short so you have to enjoy it!
Love your books in the background, more people need to read books and cut the media time down. My Nan read books she lived to 101 my dad who is 82 loves books and I too love to now read books 📚 📖 love to see another vlog on your books and maybe some charity shop book shopping! 😁

Congratulations Richard on this content ❤
I don't smoke Richard but you do paint a lovely picture ❤
Cigarettes stimulate. Pipes relax. Wildly different smoking experience.
My late father was a pipe smoker, I have so many memories of him smoking it. He lived to be 83 I still have his pipes on his pipe stand in my home. I’ve even thought of smoking one of them just like I did when I was a young boy 😂

I think that Twinings Rooibos tea goes very well with a pipe. It's so smooth.
i stopped smoking cigarettes and started smoking pipe after your first video about that topic.Very inspiring,thanks for all your content !
If u can get some, try the tobaccos from Vauen, an old german company..they are wonderful !
love this Richard, didn't know you had a second channel. Subscribed.

Lovely tobacconist in Bexhill-on-sea. Stevens Tabaccos, St. Leonards Road, Bexhill. They've been there for years. Sell everything you could possibly want for smoking.😊
I have been enjoying different kinds of tea and coffee with my pipes but definitely gonna give milk a go!
I can recommend Rattrays Bagpipers blend and Comoy’s Cornish blend….after three years of pipe smoking these are my personal favourites…although I continue to explore too.
Nice one, cheers
My answer is; When I smoke my pipe, I use to drink Black Coffee, strong and self grinded. Or raw milk like you do. And while smoking, I indeed am contemplating. My preferred pipes are the old fashioned bended Peterson pipes. Just the ones like Sherlock Holmes were smoking.
Enjoyable channel Richard - kind of Downton Abby like which I mean as a compliment - loved that show
I have Organic coffee with my pipe work well together. I am buying Flake pipe tobacco at the minute have to hand rub it for the pipe but it's great. I started smoking a pipe on your first video Richard.
I've only started smoking a pipe these past few months and prefer the flakes too they seem to burn slower and last longer. I get on a role sipping them lol
I like the black cherry flavoured tobacco the most.
It's fun to collect vintage petrol lighters too because they are beautiful and well made.
Great video. I've been smoking a pipe on and off for about 50 years (74 now). I also do a bit of blending.
Great video Richard 👏 Im a newer piper smoker and just started my own channel. I love your content keep it up!!
Sam Gawith's full virginia flake is number one on tobacco reviews for a reason. British company and highly recommended straight Virginia. Try it
Hello Sir! I’m really enjoying your videos! I’m 61, but have only been smoking a pipe for a few years now, but I’m really enjoying it, along with your videos!
Thanks Richard, now looking to buy a pipe.
I love everything about this video.
My Grandfather used to smoke the pipe its one thing I will always Remember him for
Really like your enthusiasm coming into pipe smoking
I parked my car in a loading bay today and was smoking my pipe next to my car when the traffic warden came over. I said I was loading my pipe. Turned out, he liked a cigar. I recommended him some quality cigars, shook hands, and off he went
Cool!
Great video! Thank you! I've been smoking a pipe for 52 years.
I really want to take up pipe smoking rather than cigarettes 🚬 as the tobacco is purer. Are there ladies pipes?
Really enjoyed you’re pipe smoking stuff. We are starting a revolution lol😂
Love your videos.just wait till the bowl gets carbonised. Won’t go out as much.
If you're ever in York on a Wednesday evening, come to The Swan and have a bowl full with the rest of The York Pipe Club (all three of us).
I will be in York on Wednesday evening and I smoke a pipe! Maybe I shall bring it to the swan
Excellent stuff Richard.I started pipe smoking earlier this year, it's a very relaxing hobby. I would thoroughly recommend acquiring some Missouri Meerschaum corncob pipes, they smoke beautifully.
Agree on the nasty labels, I'm 54 years old and having paid extortionate tax I don't appreciate being lectured.
Great video Sir. Really enjoyed it.
I love this video. You bought back memories. A tobacco that smelt sweet. Thankyou Richard.x X

Have you come across Malcolm Guite's YT channel - a pipe smoker and poet, definitely worth watching his channel.
Wonderful, enjoy it…. I love mine!

It's all about nostalgia and that's not a bad thing
Thank you.I never thought of drinking milk with my smoke. It would definitely coat my tongue where I don't get tongue bite as much.
I enjoy your pipe videos. Just started watching and subscribed today. Cheers from the South Carolina Lowcountry (USA)
Well said, more please!
I am not a smoker, but this is a cozy videos. Maybe you can smoke a pipe in new videos when you and Julia are on the road and traveling around and share new stories.
Smoking a couple of bowls of your favorite tobacco and a whiskey and soda...
I remember an uncle pipe smoking. The lounge was well aired, so when I walked in the room the smell wasn't stale. When he freshly lit, the smell was devine. He mostly smoked Borkum Riff; but rarely something different. Memories….🥹
All that’s now required is a decent flat cap. I bet the smell of old books & the pipe is quite unique scent in there.
You're onto something. I'll watch these videos til the cows come home. You might be onto something with growing your own toh-ba'koe. I'm in Australia and just googled it all... hardly anything. Mostly bongz n vape stuff.
Wow. I’ve had tea, coffee, water of course and cocktails with friends at my local spot in the city. Never considered milk though! lol. Guess I will
Have a pipe with a nice cup of coffee! Wonderful!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I recommend Chocom 3.
There is a pipe club in London that meets every month.
If you get a chance try peterson's connoisseurs choice, it's absolutely gorgeous
Cognac is my drink of choice when I'm enjoying a pipe.
THANK YOUUUUUUUUUU ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
One of lifes simple pleasures

Great video love the pipe content.
GREAT!!
there are some pipe smoking enthusiasts channels ☝️ i used to be subscribed to a couple. but i smoke ciggies.
Ashton used to make pipes as well, i have one and it's that rare pipe where everything about it is just right. I've not got around to trying any of their tobaccos but Artisan's Blend seems to be the one most aligned to my tastes if i could just find it (it's out of stock everywhere i've looked)
Hi, what kind of a lighter are you using? It's lovely, thanks for a great video!
Coffee and a pipe…Guinness and a pipe… Lagavulen 16 yo or Skybank or Compass Box typically in that order… however, coffee by far. Thanks for the video!
A smokers forum !
Clamping it in your teeth will also wear your teeth, my father had a worn tooth where he use to hold it.
Yes, they do make these soft rubbery bits to slip over the stem to protect the teeth…
When I was married some years back, I made my (now ex) wife a pipe. It had a ceramic bowl shaped as a mischievous goblin head with gold earings, and the stem was seasoned elderwood. I've no idea if he still has it.
I like a nice black coffee with a morning pipe
I like coffee or a latte
Waiting for my pipe to arrive I do like smoking a pipe.
A smoking club nice idea.
I like to have a pipe and a coffee.
Some nice green tobacco is nice in a pipe 🥺
I like yellow tobacco mate 👍
I like yellow tobacco mate 👍
A three pipe problem 😊
You should try Samuel Gawith’s 1792. The best of tobaccos.
Dont set alight all those lovely books😁x♥️
Oi springtime it's summertime ere mate, how ya doin?
Perrique blends give that tongue tickling/ numbing feel like peppercorn. Must be the nicotine. Very nice but harder to get
