Exactly!! Please tell your dear friend I did not add the link but I can if he really really really needs it. By the way you look a lot like Charles Bronson. I was telling my dear friend how we don’t have enough fake profile pics. We need more..
A few youTube pipe people prepare and rehearse carefully and do brisk, informative, useful posts, but not nearly enough do that. Most that I've seen are clumsy, shy, under-prepared, and obviously want admiration beyond their deserving it, at least for their youTube efforts. The slow pace will put you to sleep. The sniffing and "um's" lead to not much. And frequently, the content is just self-expression backed up by not much. I've watched the occasional youTube video posted on Forums and recommended, and a few have been pretty good. But in general, it is a sink hole of time. And I feel kind of mean watching someone not doing well at it. These folks likely have interesting tales to tell, but these aren't them.
I did. Still shared my thoughts. Same as you do obviously. Thanks for being the blog police though. We need more like you keeping everyone in check. Did you used to work for twitter?
When a strapping young lumbersexual snaps his fingers authoratively and tells me to stay tuned, I stay tuned.
I dont' want to get hurt.
Despite your sophomoric attempt at an insult and your insistence ... No, you shared no thought. You simply suggested that I look up an individual on YouTube, one whom I had just said I found difficult to watch. And I was not attempting to keep anyone "In Check" ... simply stating that I found the individual of discussion difficult to listen to/watch ... Please, don't be an ass ... I am well practiced in that art and we need not such banter in the forum.
No problem, take away his beard oil and he'll be crying for a safe space.
I can see his next title. "Some forum members..."
I generally don't watch pipe videos from guys with Cigar in their channel handle.
Here are my observations:
1. He's a cigar noob
2. He's an even noobier pipe noob
3. His ol' lady makes him smoke outside
4. I stopped watching after he mentioned "Peterson, formerly Dunhill..." because it has been Peterson branded tobacco for 5 years now... Longer than the two weeks he's "been smoking a pipe." That tells me he spends a lot of time watching YouTube and is probably gonna parrot out whatever he heard.
5. I think he needs to take the Pipesmagazine.com Forum Board Examine before he makes any more content.
Just my .02

Yeesh. This place is oozing with vitriol lately.
The great conundrum of our time - a gender neutral replacement for "mama!"
I’ve enjoyed some of the YouTubers. For sure not all, seems like it can be determined pretty quick what the quality of a particular video and its presenter will be. I think it’s a useful platform that can reach people.
This time of year for me involves quite a bit of sitting and staring at my iPad drinking coffee way too far into the morning watching my toddler and 1 month old both roll around on the floor, lol…So I’ve watched a few you guys have mentioned

I would say then a pipe is the perfect remedy you need for life. I am guessing you are young enough to be part of the insta-generations. After internet and in full grasp of the consumer life?
A pipe will let you train your brain to slow down and think. Be contemplative and absorb things. Slow down and listen to things unheard and pay attention to them. Even give your brain time to work things out and make them logical to your way of thinking and make sense of what ever it is, rather than trying to untie how it was taught to you.
Now saying that the only recommendation I make is to make it a rule that you do not take your phone or any electrical device with you unless it is solely for music that is on the more mellower side. Something that may have a heart beat rhythm to it. Pick your genre but just keep it relaxing.
Man I like what you said there, very nice. Certainly part of the overall appeal to me. And your point about leaving the phone out of it I think is great. Not to side track too far…but my wife and I have made a point to remove the phones from portions of our day, and time together. I’d say relatively speaking her and I aren’t even that bad, but still, have admittedly been absent minded or distracted when we should have been engaging with someone or something else. Again, a huge topic that one could really run with, but no matter where you fall on the spectrum of being attached to the smartphone, we could all use less of it, in my opinion.
No conundrum, many of us lost belief in fairytales long before our teenage years.
Other than being argumentative, yet another pipe smoking trait.
not really just about youtubers and frankly if anything we're being very civilized about since we haven't started handing out the pitchforks yet!
I would rather watch FUN WITH FLAGS. 
The whole youtuber thing has always been kinda weird to me. I understand guys like Muttonchop who try to teach new smokers how to smoke or tips for smoking. But others just ramble about blends- which is all subjective. I guess I haven't really seen anybody with my taste. I more so check what PipeStud is diggin, as we have similar tastes.
The way I look at most pipe youtube channels is that the channel was started as a kind of interactive blog, which is why so many ramble. I admit I like listening to some of the thoughts they share, or seeing how a newbie experiences pipe smoking.
