Very well done, thank you for posting.

Hey, I really enjoyed the video. You introduced me to some great pipes

Thank you sir for this video my friend! It helped me so much! One of the pipes I was actually looking at was the 626 and that’s what I just ordered! I can’t thank you enough and I’m looking forward to this journey. Also greetings from East TN

Great video Randy! I will agree with the 626 being the perfect shaped pipe(and 636)😁👍it's my favorite! As are acrylic stems. Have a happy 4th holiday!😊🍻🇺🇲🇺🇲

Back in the 40s a d 50s my grandmother would use 'raga-muffen describing certain persons😊

Good looking pipes and good info

That is a beautiful peterson. I have the 626. It have been a wonderful pipe

Great video my friend. Beautiful pipes

Great Q & A, my friend!

Thanks for the video, Randy! I have not heard of some of those brands. Will check them out.

You know I have had really good luck with Falcon pipes. They are not expensive at all, they are easy to clean and smoke pretty cool too.

Hello Randy and Aaron, Here’s what I think. First pipe I’d say go for a straight pipe but not a short pipe to avoid tongue bite and possibly another with a 9mm filter and start with those because you won’t get doddle and gloop as much as you may find at first with a bent pipe. I do however enjoy a bent pipe but nearly always when I’m out and about and nearly always smoke a straight pipe indoors. But don’t be tempted to go mad buying loads of pipes because they may end up as wall hangers and not smokers. To measure a pipe for my face I’ve in the past looked for a pipe that I liked the look of online and then got a bit of cardboard and cut it to the length and shape as advertised then done a dry run does it look too big when clenching holding etc as it gives you some idea especially if you can’t get to a shop and you only have the option to by online, believe me there are some pipes that just look ridiculous and can make the person smoking them look even worse. I have some pipes even now I won’t smoke when I trim my beard back and only smoke them again once I’ve got a good bit of growth back as they just don’t go with a close trim, sounds daft I know. Hey Aaron think of of a pair of glasses whether everyday or sunglasses, you wouldn’t just grab any pair without trying them on first to see how you look in them, well that’s my point, we want to feel good in what we wear and it’s the same for a pipe we want to feel good with the pipes we choose and that’s how I would choose a pipe when I first started. Well that’s my two pennies worth hope my little bit helped.

Blab on, sir! Great to see some of the other pipes you enjoy Randy 👍 As a newbie, I’ve used eBay to sample some different pipe sizes and patterns. I’ve bought 8 so far (7 of those were under £16), and 3 of those turned out to be really great, 3 are grand but just not my thing, 1 is a total lemon, and 1 is fantastic! The fantastic one is a Morgan ‘Bones’ series Check Mook pattern. Got it for £26 and if I lost of damaged it, I would definitely seek out and happily pay full ticket (£45) for a new one. Worth a look…

You’ll definitely get at least 7 different answers 😂 I prefer Vulcanite stems because lucite is too hard and I’m a clencher that doesn’t like softie bits. So I’ve just come to terms with the extra maintenance needed to keep my stems black. I think I’m in the minority there.
