i smoke one bowl a week. used to be heavy cigarette smoker (20 to 40 cigarettes a day), quit for 2 years now i just use pipe from time to time for a taste and i don't inhale.
@@jacobergh7940 for first 2 years I've quit entirely before I've considered pipe, to start with I got on 4 week cytisine pills (you drop 1 pill a day every few days up to a point when you quit) also I've quit drinking any alcohol for first few months since after drinking I had strong urge to smoke. After few months it was no that hard to continue.
Sorry to be off topic but does any of you know a tool to log back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly forgot the login password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me.
I'm going back and re-watching the videos that helped me along my pipe journey. "unfortunately I work for a living." That resonates haha, I've been blessed to work remotely and enjoy far too many pipes a week the last couple of years. Glad you are back after the hiatus and know that some of us are definitely going back to re-watch your content, for me it's many of your cellaring videos.
I love Muttnchop! I wish he would come back but he reminds me of myself. Sometimes you feel you have done everything you could do and you move on. We miss u Piper. Wish u would come back!
As a new pipe smoker I've been enjoying at least one bowl a day, sometimes two on the weekends. A cigar smoker for years, it was very unusual for me to smoke more than 1 or two cigars in a week. I have to say I kick myself for not trying pipe smoking years ago because I'm really enjoying it. I'm learning a lot from your videos and enjoy them very much as well. Keep up the good work.
Hello Sir, I am sitting on my front porch on a beautiful Sunday morning and watched your video. It made my morning smoke even more enjoyable. I found this video very helpful. I am only a weekend smoker as that is all I have time for, but look forward to retirement to be able to enjoy pipe smoking even more. I try to watch at least one of your videos each day. I shared one of your thoughts with my coworkers regarding "always treat a woman like a lady even if you know she isn't one". They thought that was great. Thank you again for sharing your experience and knowledge about pipes and life. I hope someday we can smoke a bowl together. It would truly be an honor Sir.Respectfully, Craig Hellberg.
Craig Hellberg - I love those kind of mornings, quiet, cool, clear, and perfect for smoking a bowl of your favorite tobacco. I'm glad you enjoy my videos, I really enjoy making them. 👍👍👍
I personally just got started a couple weeks ago. I plan on smoking once a week as many bowls that I want at a time. Usually two to three bowls. I have one session on Saturday night to help me signify the end the week. A reward for making it through the week. I like to contemplate the week I had and the week up coming. I’m worried about addiction so I try to limit myself.
Get through 2-3 bowls a week. Used to smoke cigarettes almost continuously until 2003. Pipe smoking, to me, is something I do as a treat, I don't really plan it, I just get a nice calm mood come on, usually when I've accomplished something satisfying, like diagnosing and fixing a long-term issue with one of my vehicles (air-cooled VWs and old motorcycles seem to follow me home a lot) and I'll think "You know what? That deserves a nice, peaceful hour on the back deck with a smoke." Really enjoy watching your videos. Stay healthy, dude.
I shoot for two bowls a week, but stressful weeks see me smoke a bowl every day, usually to relax after work. If I want to do more after that, or if I feel like smoking all day on a day off, I commit the heresy of using tobacco free kinnikinnick style blends. Even if there isn't a leaf of actual tobacco in the bowl, the fact that I'm sitting here smoking a pipe puts me in a good mental place.
You have inspired me to go out and buy some mason jars!! The tobacco looks great in the jars and look forward to how long they are going stay fresh. I love your channel and I'm a new pipe smoker.. pipe smoking is special and the people you meet that are pipe smokers are some of the best people around! Keep the videos coming! God Bless bud
That's a good amount I think. Hey. I want to thank you for being a truck driver, I don't know if you haul goods, or equipment. Whatever it is, without you we would all suffer, so thank you.
I generally smoke around the same amount as you do. Whenever my parents are out of town, however, I smoke more often - around three or four bowls a day - more if I am smoking my trusty bent billiard meerschaum. The most bowls I have ever smoked in a day was ten, and that was on the day I bought that pipe at my local B & M pipe and cigar store and took advantage of the fact that it didn't ghost. Had the last blend I tried been something other than a harsh VaPer, I probably would've kept going.
I’m fairly new to pipe smoking and smoke 1 a day but recently took a few days away from the pipe , I started off with aromatics and recently bought spcs “wildman” , “plum pudding rum barrel aged” (in my cellar) and “Mississippi River” I have to say spc has opened my eyes and taste buds to an entirely new flavor profile..very Smokey I love it !
I'm mad jealous of your collection. I live in WA where it's virtually impossible to find nice tinned pipe tobacco, thanks to strict tobacco shipping laws and not a large enough demand. I smoke at the moment I'd say 5 bowls a day.
I don't know if you know this but there is a law similar to Washington that is being considered in congress. It's been in committee for years, but if it ever gets passed it would snuff out smoking for everyone. 😂
I feel you brother. However depending where you live in Washington. There is a pipe shop in Tacoma called “Tinder Box” they have told me if there is any Tobaccos I want to purchase online. They can legally place an order for them and sell them to you. Unless they have changed their policy it Might be worth trying if you’re in the area.
Hello Muttnchop Piper. I usually smoke one bowl every night after dinner during the weekdays when I come back home from work (most relaxed time to smoke a pipe, since it's not possible for me to apply myself to pipe smoking during my short lunch break) and around three bowls per day during the weekend, when other errands allow me to do that up to that much :)
I smoke a little fast myself. I recently got a clay tavern pipe. I think it's a 16 inch. Smokes cool because of the length. Just can't hold it by the bowl. Gets hot as a skillet! Great pipe for smoking fast and it doesn't need to rest. Soon as it cools down you can reload and keep smoking.
That's cool, lol, get it? Ok,ok, I'm not a funny guy, but seriously I think I have smoked a clay pipe once, I might have to try it again. Thanks for sharing Eric. 😃😃😃👍
Try smoking Virginias and Va/Pers from a pipe with a very narrow bowl/chamber. I have found that this drastically helps control the heat because the ember is small. I have all my narrow bowled pipes dedicated to Virginia-based tobaccos for this reason.
Hello and thanks. I just started pipe smoking recently and thoroughly enjoying it. ive stopped smoking ciggarettes at least after work now which is unbelievable. Also when the worlds getting a little crazy i just stop and slow down, and light up my pipe. I was so looking forward to finishing work today so i could go home and relax with a pipe. Ive been loving your vids. Thanks for sharing your passion, from Australia - Tyson
Hello I have been smoking a pipe for some years now.I smoke around 5+ bowls a day and sometimes I have more! I absolutely love all the selections we have as pipe smokers.
Muttonchop if a blend smokes to hot, mix a little straight Black Cavendish with it. It will tend to make the blend a little sweeter and it will burn slower.
Great video! I thoroughly enjoyed it! I smoke 2-3 bowls a day, depending on how big the pipe chamber is. If it’s large, I may only smoke 1, sometimes 2. I have a large tobacco and pipe rotation! I share your love in your blend selections! Happy Smokes! 💨
4-5 small to average size bowls daily of English blends (oriental forward latakia or a vaper) and 1 bowl of aromatic tobacco as a "dessert smoke" to end the night
I am new to pipes and love your channel, keep the videos coming because it has helped. What I like most is your live and let live attitude so to speak on what was may be best.For example, I pretty much have to hold my pipes. I am a long time cigarette and more recently little cigar smoker, with an occasional regular cigar thrown in. For several days now, I have have been strictly smoking the pipe, which tastes great comparatively. And,not smoking things that I in hale are a little better for me. This video interested me because as I have given up those things the last few days I have found myself going from 2 pipes to maybe 5-6. Now, I only have two pipes and one has a fairly small bowl, so that may not be as much as it sounds. That bring me to a request if possible. I would like to see a video explaining bowl sizes, some of the issues associated with small bowls versus larger bowls and tip on how to deal with those issues. I have not seen a video of yours that covers this. If I have overlooked such a video please let me know. Thanks again for the awesome channel brother and happy piping!
Gaston Deveaux - Regrettably he passed away about a year ago, he had cancer. He was 16 so he lived a long life, but we were devastated when he died, best dog I ever had. 😔😔😔
Really enjoying the work. Purchased my first pipe and it should be delivered in a few days, excited doesn't even describe it! Keep up the good work. Best wishes from the United Kingdom.
sam whiting - congratulations Sam, follow my "the art of pipe smoking series, and a couple called how to smoke a pipe using the Breathe method, that should get you started. 👍👍👍
On the weekdays, 4 ~ 6 bowls... before lunch. Then about the same after lunch, but depends how late I stay up. Might sneak one or two more in if I’m up late working. I smoke a bit less on the weekends because our family is on the go. I smoke a bit of 1Q, Haunted Bookshop, Creme Brûlée, Gaslight, Jackknife, and Quiet Nights with the stronger blends being my early morning and late evening smokes.
Ryan Russell - That’s about how much I smoke on the weekends as well, less during the week because of my work schedule, right now during the winter my main rotation is a light English in the morning, usually Early Morning Pipe, then a Va/Per usually firestorm, or Elizabethan, then in the afternoon I smoke a deeper English like G. L. Pease Westminster, might sneak in an Aromatic after dinner like CAO Eileen’s Dream as a desert smoke, then later that evening another deep English like Gaslight, or Nightcap. 👍👍👍
6-7 bowls a day here, used to be a 2 pack a day cigarette smoker, just got into the pipes again and love it, Mac Baren vanilla creme is my first and last smoke of the day, and I usually smoke Mr. Bs Canadian winter throughout the day. Using my Brigham chinook and LOVE it.
Thank you for the video. I really enjoy your instructional videos. Even though Im a veteran smoker I always find something useful. I also enjoy the fact that your videos are like shows. You do a great job. Be well brother.
Thanks papa, but believe it or not, I am extremely critical of myself, I see other pipe presenters, and how smooth their delivery is, and wish mine was as smooth. But I tell myself you are who you are, and can't be anyone else, so I do the best videos I can and let the viewers decide. It's people like you that have kind words for my videos that keep my confidence high. Thank you for the kind words and viewing my videos 👍
+Muttnchop Piper I think that's what I like about your videos, you're yourself in them. Add that to all the info you put in them and they're great. I'm in broadcasting so I know what it's like to be critical of ones self. Keep em coming. Be well.
New to the channel, enjoy your videos. You mentioned cadence in this video, and maybe its because all of your pipe smoking has you so darned relaxed... but my personal preference for your "cadence" is to speed up your videos to 1.25x speed. I feel that this is the sweet spot. You are so chill and deliberate with your words that it clashes with my expectations of fast talking. lol Keep up the good work!
I too enjoy English blends in the evening. I'm a big fan of full flavored blends like Dunhill Nightcap. It is very aptly named. Once you smoke that, you're pretty much finished for the day.
Also, I prolly average 1-2 bowls a day during the week and double that on the weekends. So maybe a little less than you, but not much. I smoke outdoors though so during the coldest months I don't smoke nearly as much.
I have never tried Dunhill Nightcap because frankly I'm a nicotine middle weight, I have heard it can deliver guide a kick. I can handle nicotine but only to a point, once that point is reached I am miserable for the next 3 hours, so I try to stay in my comfort zone. 😁
+Muttnchop Piper while Nightcap does have a decent nicotine content, it is no worse than several other blends. If you can handle Elizabethan Mixture, I don't think you'll have any trouble with Nightcap. I think they're about on par with each other. If you have it after a meal I think you'll be fine. You could also try it in a smaller bowl so you're not getting so much if you're concerned about it. Just off the top of my head I can think of several that deliver a stronger Vitamin N hit. Royal Yacht, Peterson Irish Flake and Sam Gawith 1792 Flake are all substantially stronger.
I really enjoy your videos. Just a little question hough . How often does the average pipe smoker smoke a pipe? I'm a late starter at 50 years but I have many memories of my good old Dad smoking his pipes and I decided to refurbish them and join the great pipe fraternity. Another question since I'm on a roll. Do you have issues with discolouration / coating of your tongue? I maintain a good oral hygiene but I find I have a sweet tasting/tingling feeling on my tongue for hours after smoking a bowl. There are so many questions I have so get ready....
If I have nothing going on and it's nice outside, I'll go through 6-10 bowls. Its usually 1-2 bowls on a normal work day depending on when I get home. The tobaccos and pipes I choose just depends on my mood.
Yes....mood has a lot to do with the tobacco I choose as well, it's funny, I'll get home stand in front of my tobaccos and for some reason a tobacco will just appeal to me over all others, so I grab it and light me up a bowl. Thanks for sharing and watching my video 😎
I smoke between 4 and 7 bowls a day. I smoke in my car so the more work I do out of my truck on a give. Day really ups the tobacco smoking. I've found that my go to tobacco of late is Lane Crown Achievement. It's an English blend, which I prefer, and it has the right amount of perique. If you haven't tried it I highly recommend it.
Great video thanks for sharing. I like your idea of keeping a log throughout the year to review at the end. I always struggle with my top ten because my tastes are always changing 😀
I have the same problem, that's where the log comes in to play, for me at least I can't remember how many times I smoke a certain blend, so I log it, then at the end of the year I will probably be surprised at how many times I go back to certain blends. 👍
Thanks for making this because I was wondering how often others smoke and you and I smoke about the same. Maybe I do a little more considering I can smoke at work 😅 happy piping sir and can’t wait for a new video and hope all is well your way.
Muttnchop Piper Fine Videos. You exhibit the temperament of a Math Teacher. You explain each step slowly and clearly and to top it off, you review your videos.
VA and VaPers I smoke really close to going out and I'm ok relighting 10-15 times if I have to. If I have thick smoke I slow down. I also just let it go out instead of trying to take quick puffs to try to get it going again. Though I did start smoking cigars before pipes so I was already smoking slower. Also, try using matches instead of a lighter (though i think you're a match user already.) The flame difference is over 400*F and can affect the flavor quite heavily. Between using only matches and not worrying about re-lights my experiences are way better with more consistent flavor and enjoyable flavor.
I think that's what I am doing wrong, I like lots of smoke, which I know is wrong, but I can't help puffing away, but I will take your suggestions and keep trying. I'll get there, it will just take some practice thanks for viewing and being a sub.
Your right, I really enjoy lots of smoke, but you can't get that with Va, and Va/Per's I just have to practice, and train myself to slow down. I'll try your suggestions, hopefully with some practice I'll get there. Thanks, and thank you for being a senior.
That is a lot of smoking. I can at most smoke 2 bowls a day, I'm pretty sensitive to nic and caffeine (makes sense since they bond to the same receptor). It's a blessing and a curse, forces me to really regulate how much I consume of either, otherwise I get a lot of anxiety and insomnia.
I JUST TURNED 50 YEARS OLD AND THOUGHT I WOULD START SMOKING A PIPE DUE TO THE LOWER COST COMPARED TO DIPPING SNUFF WHICH I HAVE DONE FROM THE AGE OF 10 YEARS OLD.WHAT GOT ME TO THINKING ABOUT PIPE TOBACCO WAS REMEMBERING TWO OF MY UNCLES SMOKING A PIPE AND HOW GOOD IT SMELT WHEN I WAS A KID.I AM SMOKING 10 BOWLS A DAY COMPARED TO MY TWO CANS OF SNUFF I USED TO DIP A DAY.THANKS FOR THE VIDEO.I DID NOT HAVE A CLUE HOW MANY BOWLS PEOPLE SMOKE A DAY.
IT IS GOING GREAT.I AM STILL DIPPING SNUFF BUT HALF AS MUCH.I HAVE ABOUT 12 BLENDS AND ONE BLEND I MIXED.THE BLEND IS PETER STOKEBYE VIRGINA,BURLY.KENTUCKY DARK FIRED AND PERIQUE 40Z OF EACH.I CALL IT MY ALL AMERICAN BLEND.I REALLY LIKE IT.
If it counts for anything, a few of the health related studies found benefits from smoking in moderation. The merits of the health benefits can be debated for sure, but mainly I was interested to find what they considered to be moderation. The consensus seemed to be four or fewer bowls per day. Which is about what I smoke as a minimum per month.
Jonathan Clark I agree, I think smoking a pipe in moderation is healthier then not smoking at all, the relaxation in smoking a pipe I feel extends your life, that's just my personal opinion, no evidence exist to support my opinion. 👍👍👍
Two or three times during the five day work week I’ll smoke a bowl after dinne. Two or three bowls a day on the weekend if I have things to do. And five or six bowls on the rare day that I have the day to myself.
Great video Muttn, lately ive been smoking sparingly lately maybe once or twice a month. but when i do smoke I SMOKE LOL problay around 5 or 6 bowls a day. one of my favorites lately has been a concoction of my own. i call it Lanes revenge which is 2 parts Queen annes revenage(sutlif) and 1 part Lane 1q. Its really wonderful after a few months of sitting in jars.
I will smoke either an average sized bowl of EMP in the mornings on the drive to work or a very Latakia forward English blend (usually Comoy's English). Unfortunately this is only in summer when my girlfriend can sit comfortably with the windows down and not get too cold as we work the same job and I drive her in every morning. Then maybe twice or three times a week I will smoke a small bowl of an aromatic on the way back from the gym. At the moment I smoke maybe 4/5 bowls a week. In summer I smoke more. Love our hobby
Which tobacco product do you think is the most relaxing? And also, your tobacco is in jars. Do you take them out of the bags they arrive in and put them there? Why?
There is no real answer for the first question, it’s like drinking coffee, everyone likes it different, and for the second question, I use mason jars to keep the tobacco fresh and moist.
If you have not tried it Muttonchop, you should try Hearth & Home Anniversary Kake. Its available on Pipes and Cigars. Its a great, easy to smoke vaper.
Just worked my way through your tutorials to make sure I haven't picked up any bad habits. Pity you didn't do any algebra tutorials, those would have come in handy ☺
Hi Muttunchop, I really appreciate your videos, they have been immensely helpful for me as a novice pipe smoker! You have such great content. I am trying to train myself/ work on tasting flavors, that is one of the most difficult parts of pipe smoking to me (most of the time I just discern whether I like it or not, haha). I had a question for you. Have you ever tried Ashton Smooth Sailing? I like it myself, but I’m trying to work on tasting it’s particular flavors. I hope you’re doing well, take care!
I met your channel a couple of days ago and, as I'm on vacancies, have seen most of the videos. Just fantastic! One of the best teaching approaches on the RU-vid Pipe Community. And you deal with some interesting, comprehensive and unique themes. Remarkable! And great video this one. I've been facing a similar problem with virginias. I love the taste, the smell. I've tried to slow down the rhythm of puffs but it still tends to give me a mild tongue bite. Do you think that if I tried some mixed tobbaco it would be better? I'd rather choose some very mild mixture (a little of the processed cavendish could change this burning?) because the virginia taste is just incredible to me. Thank you very much for the help (not just about this question but with a lot of good information in your videos)! Greetings from Brazil!
First of all thanks Bruno, my goal when I started this channel was to get right to the point, and teach those that are in need the information they are seeking, I am glad it's coming across that way, now to your question, for some reason oriental leaf does not give me tongue bite, or irritate my tongue condition, so I would suggest getting some Grand Oriental Drama Reserve, and first try it, if you like it then mix some of the Virginia you love with some Drama Reserve, about 70% Virginia with 30% drama, see if that does the trick. 👍👍😃
Although I've never tried Grand Oriental Drama Reserve, as I enjoy pretty much Turkish/Oriental tobacco, it could be a nice choice by itself! Besides, all McClelland tobacco I've smoked were very good. I will definitely try this mixture 70/30%. Thank you very much!
I couldn't agree more with a ”deep English” to finish off your day. Personally, all I smoke are English blends. I have to ask what is your favorite deep English blend?
With me its on and off, enjoy it a lot but sometimes the cigarettes keep me off track, i feel that really is a addiction. Pipe smoking is absolutely not. I think its distinguished 😊
