I watch a lot of videos on RU-vid. Garden videos, home improvement videos, Kraft videos, and of course Pipe videos. This post has to be one of my favorite videos I’ve ever seen. Great style, content and feel. The whole time I was wishing I was there with you. Driving along having a pipe. Can’t wait for more……
I think this was the first of Mark’s videos that I experienced. Not watched…experienced. Wished I was riding along enjoying my own pipe. His demeanor and locales (plus the varied info) always satisfies.
loved the ride. Miss Northern Germany. I was stationed there (Garlstedt/Vegasack) 1985-90 loved the country and loved the people. Some of the greatest times ever
I like your video as a pipe smoker. I smoke the Mac Baren Mixture Scottish Blend since my 17th. I'm now 65 years old. Since a few months the Dutch taxes rates are sky high. A 50 grams pouch costs now 22.40 euro and by April 2024 its going up again. In Germany costs the same much 10.40 euro. So I will visit your country soon, although I have tot travel 400 km for it. So I become a smuggler on my old age....
Thank you so much for that, my friend! May I suggest... just give Ronny an email... he'll send you, whatever you need... in a private labeled package... I don't think you'll face any issues with customs... and you'll get the things, you need for a fair price... roland. zigarren@t-online. de Take care and be well! Mark
Nice video again Mark,I always enjoy your videos,I’m Leonardo the guy who wrote to you once telling you that I use to work in the circus 🎪 with German animal trainers,Juergenn &Judet Nerger,I had double bypass surgery but am glad to still enjoy a pipe and watch your videos,Bless you and stay safe!!!!
Good to see you again on a video after such a long time, Mark. With all the bad news around us it is good to have something that feels a bit like the 'good old normal times'. brgds from Luebeck, North Germany Rudi
I'm from NYC and started smoking a pipe somewhat recently. Your take on YT has to be on of the funniest things I've seen in a while. Love it and all your other content. Keep making videos please you're the best.
I have to say that there is something comforting about riding in a car and having a chat. Especially when we get to smoke a pipe. This was a great video to watch and listen to while I bustled away the time at work. I work outside so I got to have a pipe as well. Mark, is it? We appreciate your company, sir. Glad you made it home safe.
Hey Mark, good to see another video! This was very interesting...and a relaxing ride with great discussion on some vanilla Mac Baren blends. Seems i like this type of pipe video....as many of my pipes are in the car ...on the road! I took one of those roads on my way to see you and on my wqay back to Paderborn...I like the country roads too. We're going to talk soon...its been too long...I'll try to be better! Take care my friend! Corey
Good to see you again! I think, like most of your viewers, we’re always looking forward to updates and new content from you. I hope all is well on your side.
Hola Mark, another great road movie from you. During your trip at home, I smoked the Mac Baren Classic Loose Cut in one of my meerschaum pipes, which I can also buy here on the island, but I can't buy the new Roll Cakes here. My friend Harald from Stuttgart, who visited me here, had brought a tin for me. It is a very good version of a vanilla flavour. My wife will now bring me another tin from Germany. You gave a very good explanation of these three different tobaccos. Keep care in this crazy times my friend. Best wishes from the island. Michael
Ah I missed this one... an interesting night ramble as always Mark, and a pleasure to smoke along with. I do enjoy the "roll cakes" from MB - including the Dark Twist and the Vanilla, but I've not indulged in their vanilla flake. As a sort of side note: I'm also becoming a big fan of the Doblone D'oro (also made by MB) in fact, it might end up being a favourite.
Excellent, excellent vid Bremen. Thanks a lot. I love to see your vids, especially the long vids, in my opinion, they are by far a lot better. Have a great week-end.
I got the notification about this video while I was at work and my co-workers were very curious as to why I suddenly got excited during an otherwise dull moment of routine. Always a pleasure to ride along! Best of luck with the heavy workload and thank you for taking the time during your busy schedule to give us an update. I'm looking forward to seeing more of that crazy meerschaum we got a glimpse of. Hope all is well Mark. Cheers!
Beautiful Pipes!! Great Video, full of excellent information. Too bad it's dark outside, can't see the countryside. Thanks for sharing..........Jose from Texas
Thanks for that, my friend! Really so much appreciated! Yeah...let's see...I gonna show you country side at day eventually one day... :-) Take care! Be well! Mark
I just discovered this tobacco in vegas a week ago. I went back to the store and bought two more tins and i just love this stuff. smoking out of a Savenelli 316 oceana Thank you for the vids.
So much anger in the world Mark. I think that's what I enjoy so much about our passion for pipe smoking - those moments of calm reflexion, savouring a fine tobacco, possibly with a nice drink and in good company. Love the night stroll videos. Glad the speed cameras didn't get you this time! Don't be too concerned with all the RU-vid nonsense concerning 18+ etc.. Always enjoy the videos and I hope you continue in your enjoyment of making them. Cheers from Canada.
Really enjoy your videos. I love the history lessons and these travel videos are great. This one had some real crazy drivers and walkers. I always smoke a pipe while watching. Look forward to each and every one.
@@bremenpipesmoker6571 you as well Mark. I enjoy your videos most. I've also picked up three Meerschaum pipes as a result of your video on them. I've been smoking a pipe for nearly 50yrs. BTW, my neice is with a dance company there in Germany. A professional ballerina. Take care and keep the videos coming. Mike
I look forward to your upcoming videos on German migration to the US. My family was Prussian and came here in the 1890's. I know a lot of personal family details because of a great-aunt that kept a careful record of our family history, but much of the larger events going on at the time are not clear. I enjoy your videos a lot and appreciate you for taking the time and care in making them. I was smoking Dan St. Bernard while watching this one by the way.
Hi Mark. Enjoyed the ride and your comments on the tobacco. Looking forward to your series on immigration from Germany. My great-grandfather immigrated to the U.S. from Baden Baden. Take care, my friend. - Jim
Was very excited to see you posted a new video. The ride a long’s are great way to keep us entertained without as much of the work of your other videos. Very much enjoy them and appreciate you. Please don’t leave RU-vid. Smoking some Vanilla Flake as I watch. Hope you are well and waiting patiently again for a new video from you. Thank you Chuck
Mark, thanks so much for the visit. Entertaining and friendly video. I have been looking for this type of comparison video but especially for the Macbaren vanilla mixtures. So good. Scratched the itch I was having. 👍🏻
Another great vid. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy ur comments on society. Things always changing, what I find troubling and disheartening lately is the lack of respect or even tolerance for other views. Perhaps that is different from the past. You are better equipped to comment on history and societal influences. I look forward to more videos at old places , combining history and pipe smoking. And I may try the roll cake. Thanks again my friend. Stan
over 74 miles I'm glad you don't have to do that daily. Boswell Vanilla is one of my favorites and I keep many tins in my cellar I have the H-H vanilla but haven't tried it yet. (aging it) Love the grooved pipe but I like all your Meerschaum pipes. Enjoyed the ride along.
First off, thank you for another great video! I watched this the other day while I was working, so now I wish to comment. As I've told you before, I love your videos! Although I may not comment on all of your videos, I do truly enjoy them! And the endings, you always throw in a little extra that I love!
Thanks for that, my friend! Much appreciated! And don't mind...same for me...I can't get back on every comment...but I read em all! Take care! Be well! Mark
Hey Mark: great to see you again, I am appalled and frankly angry at the amount of "big brother is watching you" messages that are going out to youtube presenters who are simply presenting fairly tame videos on various subjects. With all the horrific events that are going on in Eastern Europe one would think that these computer driven politically correct restrictions are miniscule compared to the real world events that are taking place.. Maybe some of us should send a few footages of what is going on in Ukraine to sober these people up. They show an incredible lack perspective on what is important in the world these days. Beautiful pipe, but the renaming of Vanilla tobacco because some computer thinks that is an earth shaking threat to our well being is ridiculous and dangerous censorship They need to, as we say in the U.S. "get a clue" as to the real issues that are game changers. Keep puffin. I will Vox you soon on this subject. Keep puffin.
Love the night strolls! And the Black Meerschaums…great pipes. Interested in the videos you plan about the German migration. My family are Donauschwaben and came to US in the 50’s. Always a good day when you post a new video…cheers, my friend! 😶🌫️
Great roadway chat Mark! Looking forward to the future vids you mentioned. One of my neighbors who is in her 80s flys home to Bremen a few times a year to visit family. Be well!
@@bremenpipesmoker6571 one day I hope to be able to add a Meerschaum pipe to my small collection, I love history and that part of your video's really adds to your video's. My dad was a world renowned historian and Author, his last book was on genealogy.
I like your videos and I like the Mac Baren Vanilla Cream or Classic Flake tobacco. It's my favorite everyday tobacco. I was particularly pleased that your road trip passed directly by our farm. I know it's in the middle of nowhere, but now in your video, our tranquil place has disappeared in the black second between 33:28 and 33:29. 😂
Hans, my friend! So glad, to have you here! Yeah...we gonna show the guys your most wonderful farm and the heartwarming hospitality you offer in the summer. Can`t wait for our next meet up on Bockhops farm in July! Take care! Hope, you're well! Mark
Damn Mark, you haven't been on for quite some time, I got a a little worried that something bad happened to you. Missed you buddy, so happy to see you again!
Thanks for that, my friend! Really so much appreciated by heart! I'll be back soon with another video...already working on it... Take care! Be well! Mark
Hello Mark, thanks for the latest video, nice to have a new smoke with you. I am trapped here in Canada so I only have some Amphora Original Blend. Choices here are bleak.
Yeah...so sorry to hear that, my friend! Had the same situation once in France...just some Caporal and a dry tin of some Peterson...but in that moment, it felt like a gift to have something to chooch on at all...lol Take care, my friend! Be well! Mark
@John Parry , situation with pipe tobacco here in Finland is very similar to the Canadian one, and prices are almost the same, but actually, Amphoras are mighty good tobaccies, yet no way to order anything from the States,our vigilant Customs will interfere and cease all tobacco containing parcels from outside of the EU region
Thanks mate, I like MacBarens in general yet I feel they do need to have a "all day smoker" version AND a more premium "Elite" line of more "occasional smokers" with something distinguishing about them. I love the HR Giger Alien Pipe!!! P.S. I'm in the process of getting a Mehmet Ali Birinci Pipe.
Thanks for that, my friend! Really so much appreciated! Yeah...Ali Birinci won't let you down...sure about that! Enjoy, my friend! Take care! Be well! Mark
Mark I never knew that your videos had such a following among 14 year old boys. Utube was ridiculous! Here in the US the vanilla roll cake is about $24 but comes in a 3oz tin. Not so bad. More videos please.
Thank you so much for that, my friend! As always truly appreciated! And...yeah I hear you... already working on another video! Take good care, brother! And be well! Mark
Thanks for the video tour and chat, mate. I wouldn't get too concerned about the videos being restricted to adults only. I think all mine are just set automatically that way. It's not like kids would be seeking out our stuff anyway hahahahah As far as the tobacco goes, I don't mind the flake but never really enjoyed the vanilla roll cakes as I found them "bitey". In fact I find all Mac Baren roll cakes "bitey". Haven't tried the loose cut.
Thanks for that, my friend! Really so much appreciated! And...yeah...I hear these concerns about the roll cakes sometimes...But I rub em out completely...normally helps... :-) but there is always a risk for that...you're right... Take care! Be well! Mark
Vanilla cream is one of daily favorites in loose cut and flake, haven't tried roll cake yet. Looking for Orlik dark strong Kentucky replacement tried Mac B dark twist but to to grassy for me. Can't find any Peter Heinrich dark strong hopefully it is similar to Orlik 👍
Thanks for that, my friend! Really so much appreciated! Yeah...Peter Heinrichs is from the same barrel...there is a comparison on the channel if you're interested in it... Take care! Be well! Mark
Hi Bremen, good day! I am a pipe smoker too. I watch in your videos that you smoke different tobaccos in your briar root pipes. I always smoke the same tobacco in my briar root pipes because that is the only way a briar root pipe takes (acquires) the savour and aroma of that tobacco. From my point of view, smoking different tobaccos in a briar root pipe it makes that pipe acquires an indefinite flavour and savour. What do you think?
Thank you so much for taking the time, my friend! Much appreciated! Yeah...well...I agree, best practice would be to have one pipe for one tobacco...at least for the whole tin...but on the other hand...there is always the combination of a certain pipe, you wanna go for and a certain tobacco, you like to enjoy at this very moment...so I guess, we have to compromise... And that's the good thing about a Meer...it doesn't really care much about changing the baccys ...always provides a clear and neutral taste... Take care! Hope, you're well! Mark
@@bremenpipesmoker6571 Thank you very much for your answer Mark. I think the most appropriate thing would be to have some pipes to try different tobaccos. With respect to the rest of pipes ( brair root pipes) always smoke them with the same tobacco, in this way a unique flavour and aroma is achieved. I have seen that you have a lot of meerschaum pipes (excellent meerschaum pipes). I am living in Spain. I have seen that in Germany all pipes are adapted for the use of flters (very good measure) . What brands of brair root pipes do you prefer? After many brands I have some brair root pipes made by a catalan craftsman that are excellent. My favourite tobacco is: Amphora Full Aroma. I have only smoked that one for more than 20 years in my brair root pipes. What do you think of that tobacco? A pleasure to be in contact!
Glad to see you're back for more, it's been awhile. Was sure hoping that bus was not preceding you all the way home. The roll cakes are getting alot of note lately so it's good to have your impression. I have a bit of MB but have yet to tap into them. The "political" restrictions on these type of videos are getting rather silly. The computer bots pop up on alot of feeds, not by coincidence i think. I would hate to see any presenters get fed up and stop. Again, glad to see you . Take care
Hi Mark, this was very kurzweilig, very entertaining, thank you. Did you use two cameras? The new Meerschaum looks amazing. I am not sure if native tribes recommending to smoke tobacco will save us on RU-vid. This will probably be seen as cultural appropriation from our side. 😄 Stay well, Peter
Peter, old friend! Yeah...lol...you`re probably right about the appropriation thing...lol...they always find their ways to make us look bad... And...yes...I used two cameras...wasn't too easy, to cut the whole thing...lol Take good care, my friend! Be well! Mark
@@bremenpipesmoker6571 Wow, the editing was perfect, with seamless transitions from one camera to the other. I well believe that this took some time! Great job!
I turned on the subtitles to catch every word but amusingly the translation at times is quit creatively incorrect. One of the really amusing ones is that I assume you are not playing music in your Mercedes during the video but I think the translator is picking up the road noise from the streets and calling it "music playing", rather funny.
Hey, my friend! Always good to have you here! Well...I really don't have a long time favorite...I guess... Right now, I like to have Mac Baren's Spun Cut in my daily rotation...some Three nuns of course...and for the aromatic some Mac Baren Classic Amber and John Aylesbury's Dragon Mixture... Take care, my friend! Hope. you're well! Mark
@@bremenpipesmoker6571 I've got to try those. Thanks Mark. Later. Oh, I've moved over a hundred of my videos to rumble. I think we all know the city (RU-vid) wants to at some point bulldoze our community (ytpc).
