does anyone else watch nwpipesmoker?

[teamhavoc28]

Just wondering if anyone else watches nwpipesmoker reviews on youtube.I like his delivery and I suppose I have alot of spare time on my hands. They seem entertaining and informative..without being too cerebral. Am I alone in this?

 

[onizuka]

I did not know about him, but he reminds me of Burt Reynolds. Haha, I might have to watch his channel now.

 

[chuckw]

That's a new one to me. I guess I'll have to look him up.

 

[teamhavoc28]

whoohoo now i won't be alone..haha

 

[ulsterpaddy]

i'll check it out. I like the father son combo on youtube...i think they're called pipephreaks. my first pipe youtube video was Kel. I watched a lot of how to videos that were all awesome intros for me. really got me excited to go out and buy my first everything.

 

[ulsterpaddy]

this one is funny type in pipe smoking fail (from show Top Gear)

 

[teamhavoc28]

ill check out the father son pair later paddy sounds interesting ...i received a great deal of pipe smoking tips from my dad so I know how that goes. plus it will be cool to see the generational difference on youtube. your vids are on my list now too.

In my experience, tobacco review videos are just extemporaneous hemming and hawing that miss major items of interest

that a well prepared written review usually provides. If someone wants me to devote 5 minutes of my life to their performance

they damn well better prepare and organize the information they want to convey. I really don't want to waste my time watching

them puff on a pipe while they search for words, or worse, stream of consciousness impressions.

 

[ulsterpaddy]

haha also a valid point.

 

[unclearthur]

But ummmmmmmm I just tried this stuff................... It's Philip Stokerbean or some thing...............and ummmmmm it is like ummmmm kinda good tasting. and..........

 

[searock]

I just spent the last 15 minutes auditioning some "nwpipesmoker" videos I pulled up with Google. I'm sure there are good intentions...but...

 

[bubbadreier]

haha I guess he might do it for some people but not me...

 

[searock]

Me neither. I've looked at quite a few pipe related videos over the years and they almost all have the same problem...they're boring. Just because pipe smoking is a "laid back" activity doesn't mean that a video about it has to be. The last thing I want is to set and watch is some guy lazily puffing his pipe while he munmbles pointless dribble about his philosophy of life and the spiritual side of pipe smoking.
What I would be interested in seeing is "information". How about teaching us something of value. And, for heaven's sake, do it in a somewhat entertaining way. No one cares how mellow you are... We all know something we can share and none of us knows everything. If you're inclined to do a video, great! But do one that has some value to the viewer and please, don't act like you're about to fall asleep or your viewers will.

 

[ulsterpaddy]

I agree. They were interesting for me before the first couple weeks before I started. They are long winded and mellow. But seriously check out the pipephreaks. The father has a great personality and has some very interesting perspective and a funny outspoken lively way of delivering it.

 

[mrbrandybuck]

Haven't seen any of his videos. I watch pipe videos by pipefriendchs

 

[menckenite]

I've seen the guy and watched a couple of videos but they get old and like cortez said, he's not prepared.
Someone that I think does a good job and enjoy is dubinthedam He inspired me to try flakes and for that I'm most greatful.

I used to run a channel over at youtube (pipepoet), but recently I pulled my videos, (partly) because I felt they didn't have enough focus -- something that struck me when the old tube suddenly became very crowded with equally unfocused presentations.
I like the community though, and I really want to get back in the game. But with more disciplined and inspired videos this time around. I've considered using my written reviews from my pipesmagazine blog as 'scripts' when doing review videos, which should make things more 'sharp'

 

[hfdpipe]

I like Nwsmoker, his vids are like ambient music, kinda lo-fi and they hit the spot when you want to chill. Onemansmoke is a guy who makes some interesting vids, from tobacco farms, pipeshops to pipemakers. I dig his passion for tobacco.

For pure info I agree with menckenite, Dub is the best out there. Very professional I really enjoyed his interview with Tom Palmer from Peterson pipes.

I kinda like a mix of all kinds of vids, if everyone did the same structured review I would bore of that as well, seems like everyone brings a little some different to the table.
One thing I learned recently watching vids is apparently Pipes are big with folks who dress like Judas Priest, what the hell is that about? :lol:

 

[patiobum]

Thanks for the link to dubinthedam menchkenite, I enjoyed his chatter.
In the title "The pouch", he talked about pipe tobaccos available in a pouch,"my homage to the humble drug store pouch" then moved on to snuff and finaly a short talk about Peterson pipes and the gold band.
