Did this man step off a train from 1860 Tennessee?
Yeah, that version of a southern accent seems like it’s from centuries ago
Either that or a Hollywood set for a civil war epic with Patrick Swayze
His accent is an South Carolina accent which is where he lived before moving to Kentucky. It's not anything like an Appalachian East Tennessee accent nor any other Tennessee accent.
Love that accent
😂😂😂😂
The internet has succeeded in simultaneously making vast amounts of information easily accessible and over complicating life’s simple pleasures .
Yes! I listened to a pipe channel by a pipe maker. He commented that modern pipe smokers are much fussier about their techniques and critical of those of others. Pipe smokers of old didn't worry so much about the best way to do this or that. They just smoked them and figured out what worked for them.
Maybe there'll be some fancy hipsters overcomplicating and gatekeeping smoking cigarettes
@@BaNaNaCeZeT if he’s not here, he’s coming lol
Im german, over complicating lifes simple pleasures is basically in my dna. I try not to bother others with it though.
I did not expect his voice to sound how it does, awesome
SAME
Only people from the 1870’s expected him to sound like that
It’s fake
"That's wonderful."
"Yeah, it eeeeis."
He has a delightful voice. Missed this episode and now i have to go back and find it so i can listen to him longer
How does a man younger than me sound older than my pawpaw
He watched a lot of Ken Burn's "Civil War" when he was faking sick from school.
He’s playing it up
I have been smoking pipes for half a century now and I find that these 2 gentlemen's comments towards the beginner pipe smoker to be spot on! Well done!
Alot of it seems to boil down to "keep it simple" I guess you get many who overthink it😊
I had no one to tell me how to do this but it worked out OK. From being a kid I wanted to smoke a pipe and finally in 1957, at age of 16, I went to a tobacconist and pretended it was a present for my uncle. As a pretended afterthought I asked for an ounce of tobacco, though was flummoxed when he said "What brand does your uncle smoke?" I picked one out at random saying "I think it's that one". Then I went to a small corner shop to buy matches and finally to the cinema to fill and light it - I kept it going for the full 90 minutes of the film... a WWII epic with bearded naval officers some of whom smoked pipes as they planned their strategy. Altogether a great experience
very nice. the first few times i smoked a pipe i had bad sickness not even finishing the thing. eating well, drinking soda or juice, eating sugary things, none of that helped with nicotine sickness. i’m just sensitive it seems. and people have a similar experience smoking cigars. surprising to see you say you smoked 90 minutes and not mentioning any mishaps in experience. lucky!
By chance I had selected a mild blend and I was young! @@leafster1337
That’s amazing
@@seanodonnell1421 Are you a pipe man Sean? If so how old were you when you started?
You kept one pack going for 90 minutes??
Someone buy this Carolina treasure of a man, a white suit and a very fancy hat.
This sounds like pre-WWI blue collar accent from America, not white collar.
We need a Mint Julep stat!
I’ve lived in South Alabama all my life but can’t even handle buddies’ accent. Bro sounds like a caricature 😭
I do declare!
All Americans should talk like this man. The World would be better.
We pipe smokers are few and far between. If you happen to meet one in the wild, we’ll be happy to share a pinch of tobacco and a chat! That’s the natural milieu of pipe smoking.
The powers that be demonize pipe smoking because they fear men, sitting and smoking and talking. Because doing so, we start seeing and noticing and planning.
I actually just picked up the hobby last night because i was in a cigar lounge and saw an old dude smoking a pipe. My curiousity turned into a 1.5 hour long conversation and the purchase of my own pipe. Can’t wait till it gets to my house
Well said friend.
We are definitely a dying breed 😂
I agree - the camaraderie of pipe men is great
I don’t know another pipe smoker in real life. I’ve seen them very rarely in the wild. I actually like that not everyone does it.
I'm so glad I randomly stumbled upon these clips of Dr. Alan Harrelson. I could listen to this guy talk all day. What an accent.
Pipe smoking isn't that complicated: like anything in life, you have the "nerds" who over-complicate simple tasks, and then the rest of us who figured it out after a couple of attempts
This man is a gentleman and scholar.
I just enjoyed my first pipe in a couple months last night. It’s unfortunate that it is becoming a dying art at my college.
For those saying it is a health risk; as a rule, I only smoke or drink if others do it with me to help keep me accountable, and I never smoke cigarettes. As others are saying in the comments, as long as you smoke in moderation, you’ll be fine.
And my uncle smokes for 50 plus years cigars and pipe tobacco every day. Never touched cigarettes. And passed in his mid 90s he always says stress kill you faster than tobacco (not cigarettes, they will kill you) but cigars and pipe is way better bc it relieves stress
@@franciscovillarreal1177if cigarettes don't kill you, they greatly reduce quality of life as. Pipes and cigars do the opposite
Switch that tobacco with cannabis and maybe a dab of tobacco.
Living is a health risk.
We need to start calling you Pipes with Aquinas
Man do I love that guy's accent (the southern one)!
Yeah everyone had that figured out 😮
This man's accent is brilliant.
Nah it sounds annoying as hell
@@bunkomcdungo bunko mcdungo is fun to say
@boroclan youtube nuked my old account and I wanted something sing-songy
Your video is exceptionally enthralling! -- "Success is the fruit of unwavering commitment.."
This guy rules
Thank you. I'm just a beginner and appreciate your video straight too the point and no b.s.
Really enjoyed this!
Pipe smoking for me, is far more therapeutic and calming than cbd. I quit cigarettes 3 months ago and just got into pipe tobacco. I wish I knew years ago
I’ve been into pipe tobacco for about 15 years, and I agree with everything this guy said. He’s legit. Maintaining that Goldilocks draw throughout the entire smoke (not too tight, not too loose) is the difference between a great smoke and frustration.
I done seen that there thumbnail, but i did not expect to hear such a glorious sound coming from that gentleman's vocal cords, mesmerising!!
Excellent video. I struggle with getting my tobacco packed appropriately. It always seems too loose or too tight. Also, its good to hear the bit about relighting. I have a tendency to try to keep it going at all cost lol.
I also just started and it is the same for me. I recently had one where it seemed just right for quite some time. That was very pleasant.
Pipes are very dangerous!
3 pinch rule:
1st pinch, pack it like a child.
2nd pinch, pack it like a woman.
3rd pinch, pack it like a man.
@Aiden-fz5yv Especially after dark.
How long have you been smoking a pipe. I want to enjoy pipe smoking, but I don’t want to get addicted to smoking cigarettes again. Any suggestions?
Proper pipe ashtrays have a cork knocker for tapping your pipe. The cork will not damage your pipe.
Another don’t is do not puff too quickly on your pipe. The bowl will get too hot to touch.
I recommend Peterson pipes of Dublin and Savinelli pipes of Italy. Dr. Grabow pipes are very good too. My first pipe was a Grabow and it lasted me 20 years. It would have been longer, if i had been more careful. The bowl slipped off the stem and cracked the shank. 🙁
One of the ways that you can counter the bowl getting too hot for the touch when you're wanting to puff quickly is to breathe the smoke in through your mouth and hold the smoke in your mouth while breathing out of your nose. This will cause an airflow back through the stem and out of the bowl, which in turn, doesn't trap as much heat (you'll notice smoke coming out of the bowl). Obviously, only do this for as long as you want/can while holding the smoke in your mouth. ;) It'll cause a nice big puff of smoke when decide to finally exhale from your mouth.
I have some nice ardor pipes too
So glad I’ve subscribed to you both
Love too see it such a cool hobby 👌
I would love to share tobacco pipe smoking with these two gentlemen I am from South Wales UK thank you for making it easy for everyone to know about pipe smoking
Include me Gerard. I am in N W England
I immediately love these guys
This is great, thank you :)
I'm a huge fan of Dr. Harrelson. He's a gem of a person. Highly recommend his content. Great stuff.
I’ve been smoking for many years. Couple of common mistakes/tips to help with newbies, not mentioned here…
1-no stems, no sticks, no seeds
2-puff puff pass
3-one must have 5 on it
Dr. Harrelson sounds exactly like Buster Scruggs and I'm here for it
His accent caught me off guard.
Started my morning looking for reviews of a Camacho cigar and down the rabbit hole I went thinking about why don't I smoke a pipe any more and landed here being fascinated by this mans accent.
Stumbled across this clip .. had me laughing and I don’t even smoke a pipe .. thanks for the chuckle
This guys incredible! I didn’t know that accent still existed.
This man needs a roll in a period movie in the 1800’s. What a voice
I am sitting here in awe of this man's voice. I mean no disrespect, but having Colonel Sanders's voice come out of Howdy Doody's mouth is not something a normal human can experience without being deeply impacted. His mannerisms are straight out of something I am too uncouth to quote at this time, but everyone knows what I mean.
This was life changing. I need to find out more about this guy. WTF have you done to me YT!
Ghosting is overly exaggerated by people who want to. be recognised as a pipe connoisseur. It is basically a form of condensation to show that one is more of an expert than the others.
It is similar to a wine drinker who claims to be able to taste the sea, ocean and river in the wine.
man i hate expert condensation making me all damp.
Thanks for the condescending correction, English is not my mother.tongue, I am learning. @@cymbolic_space1832
Great video for the tobacco smoking pipe newbies :) Me!
Invited him back.
God bless you guys.
inb4 flood of Catholic Puritans wagging their fingers in a haughty sense of false righteous indignation.
Funny thing is, the Puritans loved tobacco.
@@bethmcmullan7686 Their comments hardly have an air of love and charity. In fact they convey quite the opposite tone.
@@bethmcmullan7686Concern in what way? Telling them they're breaking the 5th commandment by talking about pipe smoking? Cause someone literally did that in this comment section. You wanna tell people to not smoke? Fine, but don't talk like they're doing anything worse than whatever vice YOU have. Whether it's food, money, sex, or drugs, we all are harming ourselves in some way. Don't be a hypocrite.
@@bethmcmullan7686 a.) your concern comes from a place of ignorance. b.) As the gent above says, I suspect your "concern" is actually a case of false righteous indignation.
Bought my first pipe-a Doc Grabow-in 1963 at Chanute AFB, Illinois. I was schooled by two different pipe veterans over the years, and I definitely believe that a pipe MUST be broken in (seasoned). If not done so properly, you’re going to have a taste to your pipe reminiscent of a recently burnt out building.
That’s why you need to build up a ‘cake’ of smoked tobacco inside the bowl, and you don’t accomplish that by just “smoking” the pipe without first gradually breaking the pipe in.
I dont know what deer tongue is but enjoy your erinmoore flake after a nice english latakia lol... yuck
A good question would also have been how to store pipe tobacco for newbies, as the tins often leave it dry after opening
Omg I love his voice 🤗
dottle? moisture? ghosting?
*laughs in corn cob.
I did not expect to hear the voice of my home when I saw that man
as a brit i prefer when yanks have a old school strong regional accent. without saying "thats cap" or whatever.
I could listen to this man talk for hours. Such a pleasing drawl. The 'Yeah, it is.' right at the every end is sublime.
You probably won’t see this but I’ve been searching for years. My great grandpa use to smoke this House of Windsor / field and stream tobacco. They don’t make it anymore… is there anything that smells like that that still in production if you know? You’d be helping me be close to my great grandpa again!
Well thank you Sir
Can anyone recommend a pipe that doesn't have plastic resin as part of the mouthpiece? Preferably in the area of $50?
My biggest problem is using tobacco with great aroma and yet its nasty in the mouth. Is the flavor suppose to mirror both smell and taste?
Still have my Dad’s Dr. Grabow from the 60’s…
This guy is awesome
Any interesting descriptions of various qualities of tobacco add bends please describe your personal preferences.
I started smoking pipes in university about 12 years ago (32 now). Don’t do it as regularly as I’d like to because the tobacco tax in Australia is up to something ridiculous like $1600 per kilogram. Back when I started I thought it was ridiculous at $550/kg. Our government sure likes to take our money off us.
Somewhat related to ghosting: I've heard people suggest you let any pipe sit on a stand for three days. Why? Because if it's wood (aka not Meerschaum), it'll get moist from smoking. And if you don't let it dry out over three or so days, the wood will remain wet, then cause it to rot. The nice thing about Meerschaum is it doesn't have that problem. Problem is, it's super fragile. Dropping it once will cause it to break 80% of the time.
Also, I didn't know about the "don't take apart a pipe when it's warm" statement. I've been smoking, letting it sit for a few minutes, then picking it up I'd take apart, and pipe clean both pipe and stem. Haven't seen any issues, but really I don't let my pipe get super hot in the first place.
Finally, I use a cork nub to "knock" the ash out gently. I think from now on I'll scoop it out like he suggests, then do a few knocks to get anything else out.
Thank you.
I've just smoked my first pipe (not a euphemism) and Instantly sounded like this cool cat. And I'm a Brit.
I can feel the Carolinas in that accent, interestingly the accent descends from British aristocracy, even though some people see it as a backwoods accent now.
I have fond memories of my grandfather relaxing in his lazy boy recliner smoking his pipe and cherry tobacco. He lived to be 94 years old....I'm approaching my 51st bday this next week and will be purchasing my first pipe to carry-on the tradition.
I have a feeling Bert Kreischer would love this.
When I first started smoking a pipe years ago, I worked with an old pipe smoker, he showed me how to clean, light, smoke it etc, he used to rotate his pipes, also if you buy a new one, half fill it, until it's broke in, I have heard of older pipe smokers, soaking pipes before using them, a new one will never taste right until broke in, don't get it too hot either
I have a silicon ashtray with a large pyramid of silicon in the middle great for tapping lightly
It's a big part of my job not only to make smoking mistakes clear, but also to create new pipe smokers. there is a need for solidarity among smokers, while currently there is a lot of envy in appearance.... in my opinion more and more smokers smoke a pipe and not tobacco...
Me and my brother live in Columbia Ky. Swing by we smoke pipes and cigars. More cigars than pipes. I just built a smoke room in my garage I just built
Good to see Shelby Foote has been reincarnated
Studies show the mortality rate for pipe smokers is the same as non smokers. I read a thesis citing many studies. The author concluded the therapeutic benefit outweighs risks.
Can you send me the link to that, please?
Thanks for saying that seasoning does not do anything. After years of pipe smoking i realized that seasoning a pipe does not do anything. The only thing we need to do is to just smoke it properly by not letting the pipe get extremely hot
This man talks like he grew the tobacco he smokes.
That Gandalf pipe is EPIC.
Possibly too late , but I’ve a question on pipe smoking and health.
My wife and perhaps family are against smoking. Now I’ve lit up a few times a year if only to enliven some memories of my grandfather. I do enjoy it but it’s probably not worth the fight to do regularly as the big C word would be thrown at me . I am also of the larger stature , so I get it from that end as well.
Aside from my grandfather I’ve only ever met another and he was probably a chain smoker and probably not the best example as he said he was dying and his teeth were stained black but he still lived his piping .
Can it be done, smoking in a healthy way ?
Thanks
Healthy, no, it's just like drinking in moderation chances is not as high, but there's always a chance, even non-smokers, but by keeping good oral health like flossing good tootbrushing the chances are very low
Avoid touge bite, and by having a healthy weight and diet, you can also reduce risks
A youtuber clif Higgins, his youtube name is pipeninja, which has a video on risks. I recommend watching it. he's a dentist, so he knows what he's talking about
Also, don't inhale the smoke
It’s like anything else in life, moderation is key. First of all you’ve stated your a bigger man, you should fix that. The best thing you can do to try and prevent any issues is get your weight , nutrition, and fitness on point.
Secondly, I wouldn’t recommend smoking every day. Make it a treat just like an alcoholic drink. 1-2x a week at max.
@@RLS_91 I agree with you I myself only smoke 1 time a week and I exercise alot too
Cigs are bad bc the additives.
Vape is bad bc of the synthetics.
Pipes are good (if you use quality tobacco).
Stress is the worst for you, pipe smoking reduces stress more than any trace negative effects from the tobacco.
Tobacco is neuropreservative that is medicinal.
The war on tobacco is an experiment in medical tyranny.
Stop worrying is the best way to stay healthy
His accent reminds me of Brandon Farris. Love it. Makes me think of A Time To Kill and Steel Magnolias with a touch of Blanche Devereaux
Does he sell pipes or tobacco? I'm looking for a good supplier for my hubby.
I’ve been smoking from a pipe for a little while now and I still don’t sound like him. What am I doing wrong?
Just got some Gentleman Caller. Now I need a pipe designated for it.😊
Mistakes I made when new. Lighting it too harshly, not getting it toasted and lit evenly. Packing way too tightly. My fav. method is 3 layer pack. Light fill, light press, add again, press, add again press. Taking time to get it evenly packed with gentle little presses. Getting familiar with handling and packing the way that you prefer is most important. I will say that if you dont smoke your pipe all the way down to the bottom for the first few weeks of smoking youll get an odd shaped cake that is thick at the top and thin at the bottom. I'd rec. only loading half a bowl if youre unable to finish the entire bowl. You save on tobacco waste and your cake will be more like a bowl shape, instead of a jug (with a narrower neck). trimming the cake back at least, if youre the type that only likes the taste of the first half. Personally I dont enjoy my bowl nearly as much at the beginning as I do towards the end. Dude on the right had a cool pipe lol.
When he first started talking I laughed bc I thought it was a put on voice lol
I bang out my corn cob every day. I smoke about 8 bowls in it at work
This man is a god with that accent
that looong as churchwarden looks absolutely sick. could you please tell me the name / brand?
If you find anything about it, please let me know! A few quick Google searches of variations on "extra long churchwarden/pipe" didn't really help
Tell me you do civil war reenactments without telling me you do civil war reenactments😂
I concur.
Both of these accents interacting made me subscribe right when I heard them speak
Love the Gandalf pipe
Can we get this guy to do an audio version of the entire Dark Tower series?
On ghosting don't finish off a cigar in your pipe unless you have a dedicated last bit of the cigar pipe because it will taste like a cigar for ages.
i am genuinely worried of how many people are not familiar with pipe smoking culture, tobacco brands might pull their blends from markets.
That and legislation on flavored tobaccos and vapes b/c it "targets children" which I think is a bunch of crap. If an adult wants apple pie flavored whatever, let them have at it. I haven't seen a commercial or billboard for tobacco since I was 12 years old.
I enjoyed the jokes so much , ' filters like wearing a condon '. 😂
This is good stuff. My dad would talk about grand dad waking him up at night smacking his pipe against his table haha. Grand dad lost use of one of his arms to a stroke so... what are you gonna do when you've only the one arm? Break pipes i guess haha.
Every time he says yes I can see Foghorn Leghorn asking Miss Prissy questions and her answering “YEAASSS!!!
He must be from my home state of South carolina
I have one pipe that I can't get the pipe cleaner all the way through the pipe without taking the stem off. So I just take the stem off and put it back on.
Yes you can talk and pipe...Mark Twain did it and got paid to do so :) IMO the Deer Tongue blends are so wimpy and they really skimp on it...Cornel and Diehl need to put more in the blends they say they have, its just malarkey.
Frequently smoked pipes ought to be cleaned behind the tenon area that holds lots of goop and often times it builds up enough to cause pressure to cause the shank to crank.
I'll be moving to a nice place with a deck soon, & I often imagine myself laying back & smoking a pipe in the summer in shorts & shades on said deck
Perhaps I should get a Missouri Meerschaum pipe & make some magic happen...
just bought a pair of used but decent pipes. one classic straight and a smaal vest pocket pipe... Thinking of quitting my gigarettes and the pipe seemed like a way to still enjoy a smoke once in a while and at the same time make it into a bit more enjoyfull and relaxing thing.
-But as a bluecollar worker with a sharp tounge and foul mouth I will never be an estinguished gentleman pipesmoker like theese two seem to be! LOL The tips were appreciated though.
Maybe cigars would suit you better.
@@friederichrex9622 perhaps, but that was always a new years eve thing to me I guess... I finished restoring both pipes already and did a few custom touches to them as well, and even made a pair of matching pipe stands... I quite like them to be honest! :D
Things those gentlemen fail to mention: If you plan on smoking more than A pipe, have more than one pipe with you. You need to let it rest, so switching between pipes is a good choice.
Also, never ever scrape that coal residue you get on the inside of the pipe completely. Scrape the excess that builds and then you always leave some, this helps with many things, from the quality of the smoke you have to maintaining your pipe.
