I find the proximity of those two tins concerning. I don’t recommend firing up a bowl of Kiwi.
Don’t worry.hey! As some of you know, I am a beginner, i know this category on the forum is for more advanced pipers but it seemed not to fit on the beginner area, so, can anyone give me their opinion about the guy in the link below? is he reliable? thank you, people
This is what I am finding as a new smoker as well.
+1Don’t get me started on the whole wannabe plantation owner “pipe smokers must dress proper, abstain from profanity, and be proper gentlemen” act by that Robert E Lee loving moron The Pipe Cottage
I do quite like his fake Russell Edgington accent though
Somehow I doubt we'll be hearing much more from him.+1
I watched a couple of his videos, including his now deleted unhinged rant when another YouTuber had the nerve to challenge his point of view, and that was it for me.
I also noticed that his accent changed during his videos, for example calling it "tabacca" and then later "tobacco".
I don't what to be told how to enjoy my new hobby (addiction?) I just want to smoke my pipe and enjoy the experience, and I hope that others do the same, however they choose to do so!
Man, I used to watch your videos all the time. You and Bremen got me into meers. I was wondering what happened to you, I'm glad to hear you're doing well and have found a smoking companion.I get that for a lot of people making a YouTube video is away for them to share a pipe with someone as most of us don't have a smoking buddy. I did it for a lot of years, and I tried to share knowledge about things, tell stories and share blend reviews. There is always someone that will like what you have to say, and many more that will find fault with what you say. For me it was away to interact with a lot of people, because for a long time I had no one to share a pipe or a cigar with. Now I have a friend that I hang out almost weekly with, and have been doing so for the past 7-8 years.
I haven't posted or even watched pipe or cigar video in years. It got boring watching every new person come in and share their review of blend x. After seeing 800 videos on blend x I couldn't take it anymore. That's not to say that these people are making bad video's or giving bad information, but after smoking for so many years I didn't need to see another video on how to pack a pipe, or how to prepare flake tobacco, etc. Heck, I even got tired of myself. LOL Which is why I don't post video's anymore, plus it got to be to time consuming. I'd rather just sit back and enjoy a pipe or a cigar and not have to spend hours making a video.
My favorites back in the day were NWPipeSmoker, BremanPipeSmoker, Matches860, and that BriarBlues guy.
Thanks, I'm glad someone got some use out of those videos. LOL
I understand, I just recently came back from a 2 year cigar stint, I seem to have found a nice balance between both of them though, they both have there place in my life.
I had a good balance going for a while where I would have a pipe in the mornings with a coffee, and a cigar in the evenings with a beer or whiskey. Then my brother got into cigars, and my friend started smoking cigars more frequently, so it seemed like I was always having a cigar. I definitely need to find that balance again.
We've been smoking a pipe about the same length of time. I've completely resolved the tongue bite issue by cutting the moist flakes into tiny cubes width-wise across the flake. This was recommended by several of the veterans in different posts and for Virginias/Vapers that lose some of their flavour when you dry it out, this has been a total game changer for me. Highly recommended.
I thought about a pithy response and deleted it a few times because I realized that I'd really just like this thread to die.I just can't get into pipe videos. I tried to watch several this afternoon and now I think I'm going to start drinking my own bath water again.
