  • Have you ever wondered how smoking pipes are made? Many people know that briar wood is the most common material, but few know where it is found, or how to harvest, cut and cure it for use in pipes. Enter Mimmo, a second generation briar cutter in Northern Italy who supplies top quality briar to pipe makers and factories around the world. Meet him and learn about his passion and his process in this charming three-part video.
    See more of Mimmo in the feature documentary, Father the Flame, now available online:

    The pipe industry needs more material like this online. This was so well made. Great job I wanna make pipes now.

      Thanks! You should give pipe-making a try! We have a bunch more material from the film that we're hoping to put online. Hopefully this year, stay tuned!

      We need more stuff like this and less of the toxic "'Merica" garbage that many channels seem to feature. Flags everywhere and instead of talking about pipes or tobacco, they go on and on about political hoo hah. THIS is what pipes are all about. Not all the other clutter that gets in the way.

    Just finished watching the actual documentary (it's on Tubi). Mimmo seems like such a genuine guy. Love his life, loves his work. And he gets to drink the best wine!

    this was amazing, i caught myself thinking "it's just a piece of wood, why does a pipe sometimes cost hundreds of dollars", this video showed me why, i had no idea so much had to happen to get a pipe out of the wood. really awesome video

    You must be true to yourself, before you can be true to others. That shows in this video. Keep cutting and counting your ten most important tools/fingers. Thank you for the short walk through your life and work.

    What a wonderfully produced film! I am astounded by the passion shown by the artisans. My father was a pipe smoker for many years and I can still smell the aroma as if was only a few moments ago. Even though he quit a few decades ago, I still see him fiddle about as if he's holding his pipe when he has a quiet moment.

    This reminds me of the Statue David. Story has it that Michelangelo' was entering a contest and someone had a piece of Marble and and it got chipped and they couldn't use it. Michelangelo' said he would use it and that is how David got his lean in his stance.

    But does anyone know approximately how many people in the world today still smoke pipes. Smoking in general is in decline in most first world countries because people are aiming to have healthier lifestyles. I don't smoke, but I love pipes as a beautifully crafted item. I suppose some people might collect them.

  • @RackwitzG
    @RackwitzG Год назад

    I read today that it is very dangerous to cut the briar with the saw. That's why only few do it today. Many have lost a finger at the saw. You don't know and can't tell if a rock might be enclosed in the wood and if the saw hits it, you can get seriously injured. The harvesting and curing part looks like very hard work.
