Get out of debt Smoke cigars and pipes Drink whiskey Sit on the porch Ponder frequently This is what I do at least once a week, usually on Friday afternoons. Having a ritual is paramount to balance
I always find it interesting when a child says ‘I’m bored’ and the parent responds by treating that as a problem that must be solved…. We have created a generation that expects to be perpetually entertained…. Good video.
God damn that hits close I came to England at 14 and since them I have become like that I like to listen to podcasts and I'm constantly on them all day every day I dont think it is good for me. I remember being tmyounger and often being bored and going outside to find entertainment now I just sit inside and do nothing.
Totally agree. Slow down, take a walk / hike, sit on the porch, focus on nothing for the time a pipe will allow, and amazing clarity and or calmness can happen. I’ve made it a rule that if I’m enjoying a pipe on the back porch there’s no phones or chatter about stressful current events (myself included). Always regret when I break my own rules during “unwind time”.
I hear you man…even tho most folks see me enjoying a pipe on screen, most all of my smokes are just spent unplugged, enjoying nature and being quiet, contemplating alone. It’s really therapeutic and relaxing for me!
I told my wife I wouldn't smoke a pipe, but I have one in my mouth frequently. I started at 18 after joining the navy (pre-insanity) when we could still grow a beard and they gave us beer rations. I had a chief who would smoke a pipe, then spin it upside down and run on the beach, so I did too. Sir Ralph Richardson, my favorite actor smoked a pipe. Great video even for the insane!
As a member of the young generation, I have felt incredibly overwhelmed by the fast paced and unnatural nature of modern life. The chaos and panic inducing movement compels me to be chaotic and in a state of panic and distress. It's incredibly difficult to slow the mind and body down and the pipe is a beautiful way to achieve it if you take to it well.
You are right about slowing down and getting away from it all. Too many people today think that the cure for burnout and anxiety is to attack the problems even harder next time. People never seem to notice that their efforts are not more fruitful when they do this. "Sometimes the bucket just can not hold any more water". Highly intelligent people have trouble coming to terms with this simple truth.
Gunsmoke......one of the greatest shows ever! Things were better back in the day, no cell phones, no techno-chaotic hell.......just simpke things! Great video!
Hi ! I'm a French pipe smoker. Really, thanks a lot for this excellent and touching video. I agree with you on every point. We should spend more time doing nothing instead of running constantly. One more excellent video. Your channel is one of my favorite ones in English (this pipe is very nice). I've cited your channel in the descriptions of my videos.
You are so right on. Old guy here. I was a kid in the fifties. Life was outside, in the fields, in the woods, in the neighborhoods. It was paradise. It was all the neighborhood kids all friends or enemies but all outside together and learning important things that everyone now has no clue about.
@mrarivv0007 There is some truth to that however (I'm 26 so Gen z I believe?) Lots of kids in Gen Z are extremely lazy and I get ashamed to be grouped up in them because they want to get rid of their rights and want handouts alot
@@dubjubsIt's not laziness, it's unhealthiness. Terrible diets, terrible T levels, terrible pharmaceuticals, terrible plastics, hormones, fluoride, seed oils, and screens shoved in their faces from day one. It's not their fault. It's ours.
That's what I'm talking about. I just bought my first pipe, and all I'm going to do is find a park sit down and Puff my beginner's pipe. All by myself. Thank you I understand.👍🏽💯
Hey, sorry if I'm too honest but you should really study this video because this is the essence of this channel and the reason I started following it. The last good and pipe-philosophy-essence related video before this one here was waaaaay to long ago. But this one is good, really good!
Yes, I agree. Here from France. I've found out this channel since I decided to smoke pipe. Really, I like all his videos a lot but this one is very, very good...
i started smoking a tobacco pipe after seeing some your videos, what to say... thank you :D but i actually enjoy it because the pipe allow me to think calmly, not really doing nothing...
I’m a 25 year old pipe smoker (started it in the first lockdown at age 23) and it’s the best decision. I’ve made. My pipe relaxes me and elevates my mood.
My dad smoked a pipe. In fact, he smoked a pipe, cigars and cigarettes but he had a pipe lit most of the time. He loved Amphora tobaccos most i think. I guess he was like his father a Yorkshireman who i could never understand as a kid but they both enjoyed their pipes. Well, i'm 57 now and i think i might take up pipe smoking now. Partly to remind me of my dad but partly to make me stop, slow down and unwind. Yeah.....its time. See you at the tobacco shop !
I’m 54, and I have just been given 4 lovely pipes from a lovely old ex pipe smoker. 3 K&P Petersons briars and a knobbly block meerschaum. I’ve ordered a nice leather pouch, to keep 2 favourite pipes in. I haven’t bought any baccy yet but I will! My late dad used to smoke a pipe through all of my youth, and I loved the smell and have fond memories of him smoking his pipe. I’m definitely taking this up! In your 50’s is the perfect time to. 👍🇬🇧
i have smoked most of my life, i am 60 years old now. i stopped smoking some years ago, but watching ppl smoke a pipe, i find that somewhat relaxing. thank you for sharing great vid
To me smoking a pipe is therapeutic, it’s a way to relax and meditate. I also look at pipes as a work of art. Love to collect them, and display on my pipe rack.
for me, it`s like a form of meditation. I can just sit down, look through the window, appreciate the view, think about what I wanna write in my journal (which is also pretty awsm way of slowing down btw)
To be honest I'm more of a cigar man. But I get your point completely I have almost forgotten the relaxion of this ritual by being more concerned about pairing the right cigar with the right beer or whiskey and bringing my phone outside with me when I have a cigar . I need to get back to the tru relaxion of enjoying my cigars no more taking my phone with me
I am not smoker, but the philosophy you are telling is amazing, I can't deny that, you are a happy man. Thanks a lot for sharing such a wonderful musing.
You outlined alot of great points here...the 40's thru the 70's were much better times for mental health and development...using your imagination and human interaction.
I saw Andy Griffith talk bout the show once. He said the show was set in the early 60s, but they played it and wrote it like it was the 1930s. That was the magic I think.
Tonight I smoked a pipe for the first time. I smoked cigarettes for a bunch of years but haven’t touched one in half a decade, however a few weeks ago I bought a pipe kit and some tobacco thinking that it might be something I want to do from time to time. Tonight I decided to try it out, and I really enjoyed it. The experience reminded me of the difference between listening to a Spotify playlist shuffling in the background while at work vs sitting in front of a record player listening to an album front to back through headphones... Smoking cigs or vaping is like this mindless extra task that you layer over the list of other things you’re doing at the same time, but the pipe took some effort and thought to get going and once it was going I didn’t want to set it down and look at my phone or anything, I just felt content doing nothing.
Awesome video. We as a society need to take time to slow down and reflect. That will not happen but as individuals, we can slow down. Nothing better than a good pipe, a little solitude and time to think.
Really nice reminder to slow down man. I smoked weed for 12 years since I was a young teen, and I stopped shortly after becoming a father. Just too out of touch and zoned out, (I overdid it) but I miss the ritual. This is a great alternative for that ritual, in moderation of course. Cheers.
I'm 21 and when you talked about "being bored" I got almost emeitat reminders about like.... all of the "imagination" war games I had with my sister and friends and now just reminded about recently last year was in a party at my cousins house and my sister and I was throwing a baseball and.... we lost alot of fun imaginational stuff! (Sorry for my spelling dyslexia sucks....)
Great video. Thank you. Life can be very hectic and stressful. I agree that it is good to take some time and just relax, think, imagine, and be creative. Often times creative thoughts come from moments like these. Given most don't do this anymore, it might explain why there's a lack of creativity in the world (e.g. sequels galore rather than new and original screenplays). The world needs more creativity.
I look forward to those times when I can sit on my deck with a cigar and a bourbon, and DO NOTHING. If I don't "do nothing" for a couple hours over the weekend, I consider the weekend wasted. Cheers!
when I listen to old bebop (1945/49) and watch the honeymooners show, im drawn to my my grandparents era, and i feel like i belong in there, for some strange reason
I enjoy the little ritual of rolling tobacco. I don't like nicotine much, just puffing smoke and relaxing, so I try to get the "lightest" tasting tobacco I can get. A pack of 30-40 grams lasts me months, not an everyday smoker. I also have a pipe but it's maybe a bit burnt and I should take better care of it and try to find some light tobacco for it.
I know what youre saying. I wasn't feeling too good over the weekend there. I spent Sunday morning on the sofa from 7am to noon. I still feel bad about "wasting" that half day....
Interesting conversation when I was a kid I use to walk back and forth from the front door to the back door all day and say what's to do what's to do 🙂
This is why I smoke a pipe it’s a great way to sit and think and nothing else I think a lot of the stress in the world today is the fast pace of it all
A neuroscientist who goes by doctor huberman what was recently talking about the benefits of nicotine for your brain. If you get untreated tobacco that doesn't have additional chemicals it's not as carcinogenic. As a pipe smoker it's not necessarily about getting a tobacco fix versus cigarette users. I've been contemplating taking it up again.
I've always enjoyed smoking and tobacco throughout my life. Be it cigarettes, cigars, hookah's, snuff, chewing, tobacco, or even what they call in India pan (betel nut with tobacco). Now I'm retired and onto the "pastime"of the pipe. Doing nothing is my forte.
Listening to classical music(mostly vivaldi and fast violin music) while smoking pipe relaxes , makes me imagine things and observe things happening around me outside. Most of the time I prefer the music playing inside my head while smoking.
well at work after my so called lunch break i roll the chair out of the guard shack and have my pipe lite and for 20-30 minutes i just sit back and relax watch the sun go down in the west and listing to the birds . then is back to directing people ,making calls, ording others not to park there until it is time to go home
😂😂 ... Got to give it to you you actually got me to click, believing there would be some sense to this. they're probably fewl alternatives that wouldn't negatively impact the health of myself and my child sitting on my knee LOL
That's ine of the main reason I like to smoke my pipe. I get to stop and sit and enjoy what's really going on in thebworld around me. And NOT be in a hurry as I am everybothet moment of the day. Glad I came across this video in my quick apprentice pipe smoker research session
Having a moment of quiet contemplation...should not be looked down upon...we all need a moment to drink some tea, or smoke a pipe and just be in the moment. Sometimes slowing down allows you the time to catch your thoughts and process the day. Its important we do this.
that's what i'm about to do, cigs and pouches, too much nic at once ... need to slow down, but i really love the flavor of tobacco and don't want to leave it behind, like i don't want to quit coffee or tea
Speaking of old TV shows, Drag Net is a real trip to watch today. I saw one episode where they busted some gangsters wearing black trench coats and fedoras when the detective got the idea to remove a light switch cover in their motel room and pulled out a string with about a quarter ounce of reefer in a bag tied to the end. 😂
I keep seeing videos like this to justify pipe smoking by asking all these questions such as how antiquated it is, but it’s really so much simpler. Guys like to go to cigar bars and no one is trying to philosophically justify smoking cigars, so why pipes? They taste better, smell better, and is less of a time commitment than a cigar. It’s sort of a no brainer.
Since discovering my love of a tasty, spicy and sweet cigar, I have said the exact same thing. It allows for thought provoking down time. On rare occasions I enjoy a glass of bourbon or brandy with a cigar and that sets the mood for a nice relaxing sleep
Light up jump ropes are at the dollar store and it's still possible as an adult. My kid said i look like i am in a ball. Lol Worth a dollar to teach how to jump rope in a way that captures the attention and is exciting. Led hula hoops are cool. Led wheel clips on the bike tires.
Growing up , pipe smoking, cards,and people visiting other people, was normal. The smell of smoke is beautiful to me , but now nobody visits, covid finally finished of cards , and i smoke a pipe just to remember all thats gone 👍
I tried pipes. Several times. I really wanted to get into them. Truly. Mostly because of price. But cigars are just better in every single way. So I smoke 1 a week because of price. Life changing. Great channel though!
I enjoy my pipes, been smoking them years. I read a lot , think a lot...you should of mentioned the health benefits brother!! They are better than cigarettes, as long as you don't inhale. Great video...thanks.
Get out of debt
Smoke cigars and pipes
Drink whiskey
Sit on the porch
Ponder frequently
This is what I do at least once a week, usually on Friday afternoons. Having a ritual is paramount to balance
Love it.

How much debt do you get in before Friday every week?
add fishing to that mix

Led wheel clips on the bike tires.
Good video
Thanks for the advice
Growing up , pipe smoking, cards,and people visiting other people, was normal.
The smell of smoke is beautiful to me , but now nobody visits, covid finally finished of cards , and i smoke a pipe just to remember all thats gone 👍
The go go go go mentality is a west thing Because in the Caribbean life so much more relaxing and just… chill
I do the same once a week but with weed combined with slow long held yoga stretches and meditation. Its total bliss and very spiritual.
Explain ""(leukoplakia)"" and tobacco please answer I would love to hear what you think please and thank you
Well said my friend
I tried pipes. Several times. I really wanted to get into them. Truly. Mostly because of price. But cigars are just better in every single way. So I smoke 1 a week because of price. Life changing. Great channel though!
I enjoy my pipes, been smoking them years. I read a lot , think a lot...you should of mentioned the health benefits brother!! They are better than cigarettes, as long as you don't inhale. Great video...thanks.
Well said, Amen brother !!
