Boy oh boy, if ever we needed someone during covid 19 brother, it would be you. I say this knowing it comes from my own selfishness. I hope you and your family are well. Take care, we miss you..
Sorry to be so offtopic but does someone know a method to log back into an instagram account?? I stupidly lost my password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me
@Alaric Dayton thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and im trying it out now. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Hello, I am from Saudi Arabia and I really like the material you provide in your channel, and in my humble opinion, I see that you provide thoughtful information through long experience in this art. I wish you longevity and eternal happiness.
Hy my friend, I wanted asked for you something with I have doubtful. In Saudi Arabia is available smoke tobacos freely in the country? The governament or the religion forbit the smoke and yours need smoke hidden? Tanks for all, a wating not do ofended you with my question.
@@MuttnchopPiper Hi! Here in Norway, 50 g pipe tobacco costs $ 35, so I buy the tobacco when I am in USA. One time, on Route 4 in NJ, i came over an old, beat rusty tin box: Solani (Virginia,Burley,Sweet perique) Premium Quality. Fantastic tobacco! Have you ever heard of this make?
I believe Cornell And Diehl blends age exceptionally well. I've had their stuff between 5 and 15 years, and the stuff is almost always intoxicating when popping the top on the aged stuff. Just incredible dried fruit and tangy and savory notes and loads of sugar crystals on their tobaccos. I suspect Bijou will age into something very very special.
I always envy the fantastic choice you guys in the States have. And the prices! Hope the FDA don't ruin it for you. Have a happy Christmas Chris, Stephen
Well, I bought my first pipe tobacco and a Chacom pipe kit four days ago. The tobacco was Savinelli Black Cavendish 50 grams which cost almost $31, it seems that around $30 is the average price as far as I have seen here in Sweden for what I guess is premium tobacco. But we have very high taxes on tobacco and alcohol here. The rest of EU I guess have lower taxes...
like Piffilus said, it's depend of the country, for exemple Dunhill night cap 50g cost around $16 in Belgium, $21 in France , $18 in Danemark, $12 in Spain, etc...
every now and then i come back to this video for the ultimate comfort, perpetual xmas energy, hope you had a good day chris❤️would love to play some mtg someday
I would like to stay a year in the states just to smell and taste as many of it's tobaccos as I can! :D Fortunately we have very good blends here in Germany, too!
I think pipe smokers have a calm about them , I love the smell of pipe tobacco, even though I don't smoke , I used too , smoked cigarettes, cigars , and smoked a pipe whatever my mood was , but out of all I always enjoyed smoking a pipe , it makes you think things out , and you always come out with an answer. But I gave up about 38 years ago .but still like the idea . Nice interesting video and love the way your shelves are set out. Thank you 😊
I’m new to pipe smoking and I must say I find your videos very enjoyable to watch and very helpful in regards to this new hobby I have taken up, so thank you sir!
I have access to the solani aged Burley from your list and that's all I need, the aged burley is FANTASTIC. Other than that, we have some really talented tobacco blenders in Germany, so we might be locked out of us tobacco, but there is this a lot of good tobacco to choose from 😊
I Hail from the United Kingdom (Edinburgh) and as said have never seen any of these tobaccos however over here we still have Samuel Gawith who makes great English blends along with a few others wish we had the diversity of the U.S smokers though great video.
I purchased both CAO Eileen's Dream and Maltese Falcon. I am trying to like the Maltese Falcon. The aroma when you pack it is nice, but the taste is like a pack of crayons...hard to explain. On the other hand the CAO Eileen's Dream is my new favorite next to Watch City's Aromatic #7. Thank you for your videos.
Thank you for the recommendations. I watched your video on the “right” tobacco and you recommended getting a premium blend for my first time. I’m new and never smoked out of a pipe, but my pipe is in the Mail and just ordered a couple of blends from the list you provided. P.S. your chops are awesome!
Hi Mutt, is always a pleasure to watch at your tutorials. I’m from Italy and it’s a regret not to be able to have these tobaccos you are reviewing. In particular Would be very interested in trying the Plum Pudding. Thanks have a good day Mutt!
You sir. Are my go to person for pipe information. I'm a big fan of yours. And love your videos. I am very big on watching your videos. Please keep making more!
I tried plum pudding for the first time yesterday evening. Love it. As a new pipe smoker that only has smoked aromatics. It was a definite change. First bowl review. Tin note is a strong aged leather and earthy aroma, very bold. My girlfriend did not like it. The smoke is very white, cloudy and smooth. The taste is very strong, full bodied. It tastes aged. I definitely taste an earthy, leathery, possibly nutty taste. There is a hint of fruity sweetness that I didn't notice until the end. It definitely keeps me interested guessing throughout the entire bowl. Some flavors I haven't placed quite yet. No tounge bite. I imagined myself in a damp forest with a bright blue, night sky in the background with a few stars coming out of partial black sky. Also a backwoods cabin with a fire going far from anything. A rustic feeling I suppose. Great smoke when I want some meat and potatoes like, heavy full flavored smoke. Thanks for the great reviews that led me to this keeper.
Hey Muttonchop, I know this may be a little long, but really wanted to say I am very happy I found your channel. I started pipe smoking back in May. My grandfather passed on early this year and I requested one his pipes. He stopped smoking the pipe in the 90s. But I have many found memories of the smell. Cannot stand cigarettes but the pipe tobacco is completely different. Well in his memory I bought his go to tobacco Sir Walter Raleigh and smoked one of his pipes in memory of him. I have never smoked a cigarette, do not like cigars. Well... I loved the zen experience, feeling and now have a bowl 1-2 a week. There is so much to learn...especially all the tobacco options can be overwhelming. Did find The Brair Shoppe in Houston (well known) and bought a few different ounces of their house blends. But still learning. Completely off topic, at 8:45 in this video, I hear chimes from a clock. Well loved those chimes that all brings back a memory. Could you tell me what type of clock you have. Maybe a photo. I was smoking a pipe watching this video and those chimes were very pleasant. Thanks again for all your videos! Very helpful to a new pipe smoker.
BuffaloWanderer1836 - lets start at the beginning concerning the clock chimes you hear. When I was little my parents would send me to my grandparents house in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky for a week, and I absolutely loved it, in their house they had a Sears & Roebuck’s wall clock that would chime every hour, and the ticking of the pendulum was so loud it would rock me to sleep. Fast forward to 2012, I purchased my first Android phone and at some point while owning that phone I wondered if there was an app that would simulate the chiming of a grandfather, or wall clock, and sure enough there was. So the chimes you hear in this video are actually coming from my phone.....how cool is that. 👍👍👍
Back to the pipe after a 30 year hiatus. Love your channel. I have two different tobacco's that aren't supposed to bite, they do. Probably just me. I tried your Ilene's Dream. Very nice, burns quite well, and no bite. Thanks for the guidance!
Thanks a lot for the vid my friend, thank god I have friends in the U.S. who can provide me with these wonderful blends you talk about. Gonna try to buy the Falcon! Salud!
I do have to agree the Maltese Falcon is pretty darn great, I've tried a few other blends that are often too strong such as Peterson's Nightcap (Which is also extremely good but knocked me on my ass.) but since I tried Maltese Falcon I just find I can't go wrong with it. It just works well all around.
I am truly enjoying the Maltese Falcon....great morning ...lunch ...or evening pipe blend. Its just a good relaxing flavorful blend. My favorite is Pete S... 306 English Oriental....that's my island blend...but this is right behind it... puffing on it right now....damn good stuff.
I just subscribed and enjoy your knowledge sharing of the simple pleasures of pipe smoking. Thanks for sharing the hobby and saving tradition. Looking forward to working through all your videos.
I now need to go and get some Central Park Stroll, Stonehaven, and Eileen's Dream. I am mainly a black cavendish smoker who is beginning to branch out into aromatics, so this video is very helpful. Thanks for posting!
Sooooooo excited. .. my 8oz tin of Maltese Falcon arrived today...gonna give my Mr Brog a good cleaning tonight and tomorrow. ..the bird with coffee to start my morning. .. Not even opening it until morning. ..woots.
FMOTT contains Basma, which is a very small, sweet oriental leaf. It's what makes FMOTT my #1 Choice in the Craftsbury Series (5 Frog Morton and 3 Other Blends). I am big fan of all Pease Blends and Maltese Falcon is a top-class blend.
Thanks Chris here in the uk we can get no where near as many tobaccos and we have only a few good tobacconists but we still have some marvellous blends to try so all is not lost “ yet”
Hello friend Muttnchop Piper. Congratulations on the video. I've watched it several times. So I decided to try Plum Pudding. Arrived today. I can't wait to open the can and smoke.
Thanks for introducing me to Maltese Falcon! I put Falcon and Plum Pudding on the same top level with each other. Very similar, but each distinctive enough in their own right to crave one or the other. However, my all-time fav, above these other two, is Cornell & Diehl’s ‘Pirate Kake.’ It is so rich, smooth and contains a ton (75%) of rich Latakia which is like tobacco aromatherapy for me! Really enjoy your videos, Mutton chop.
My country mostly only has WA Larsen Golden dream and Sweet aromatic, Stanwell Vanilla and Melange, Borkum Riff Bourbon Whiskey, Cherry cavendish, and Original, and there is also a Clan aromatic blend. This seems so retarded to me...
makes great sense reviewing ones favorites by Blend as you can't compare apples and oranges. Have to say my overall star of the show this year was the Solani aged Burley. Happy new year Muttnchop.
Have you ever tried capt black royal? I can't put it down. My everyday all day long smoke. For an OTC I can't believe it. It's so smooth and sweet. Tin and room not is off the chart. I can't find anything to touch it at least with my taste anyways. We are all different. It's gold and black cavendish. 👍👍👍👍👍
hillbilly piper - I have tried it, and you’re right it’s a very good blend, my taste have switched to non-Aromatic blends for now, but every now and again I splash in a little Aromatic, and Capt. Black fills the bill sometimes. 👍👍👍
Hey MC, I finally got to try Maltese Falcon and its a winner for sure. Smokey, sweet bread and very mild with a low heat. Just love it man, thanks for the excellent recommendations.
Great video Muttnchop! I'd like to say thanks for all the videos. I'm very new to pipe smoking and your videos made it a fun and easy learning process. It's a hobby I've fallen in love with very quickly, and most of that is due to your great videos. Keep up the good work! Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and your family!
Hi Chris, thanks for thinking about the european viewers. I have some good news. GL Pease blends are imported by a company in Swiss so Maltese Falcon should be available in most countries in Europe. Esoterica tobacco's are made by JF Germains and sons on the island of Jersey between Engeland and France. They also produce unter their own name a blend called Rich Dark Flake and it is almost the same or exactly the same as Stonehaven. So there are some options for us pipe-smokers on this side of the Atlantic
Great video as always, and this time I'm even happier because I just got Maltese Falcon in my last shipment from 4noggins. I live in Sweden and this is my third order from them that got through with no problems, and it just took a little more than a week!
Just got Fire Storm when I ordered a pipe starter kit! My favorite of the 3 tins that I picked out. Definitely going to get some of these (your favorites) to expand my selection now. Thanks for the video!
Finally got around to trying Plum Pudding. I was thrown by the tin note at first, so it’s taken me a bit to get around to it. Outstanding tobacco. Smells and burns great. I had been missing out, surely.
Dear Sir, It seems to me, you have great selection of tobaccos based on your experience - i will get some of them to try as well. Thank you for valuable description of the blends!
Great video, sir. Now I'm watching your video and smoking a bowl of Maltese Falcon, that I bought due to your previous recommendations. Thank you for that!
There were a few tobaccos I tried when I first picked up a pipe around 10 years ago that I really enjoyed. I put it down for various reasons and completely forgot about it. I recently picked it back up and tried to remember the names of things I'd tried and liked but couldn't remember anything beyond "stone"-something. The moment I heard you mention Stonehaven and Penzance it all came rushing back. I know what to search for now! Also didn't realize Drew Estate's been releasing pipe tobaccos - that Central Park Stroll sounds excellent.
just ordered Dunhill Early Morning Cornell & Diehl Black Cherry Cornell & Diehl Billy Budd Seattle Pipe Club Plum Pudding Peter Stokkebye 402 Luxury Twist Flake
Finally got some PPSR and it is truly exceptional. I’ve only one tin left of FMOTT so I save it for when I’m on the town, usually in a vest pocket folder pipe so that fragrant Basma is close to my nose!
Man that Irish cream one looks so good I'm gonna have to get me some of that my sister just bought me a pipe for my birthday because I've been wanting one and I'm on the hunt for vanilla flavors. She got me some nice dark black cherry is good too🍒
Very informative. I've smoked many blends but of your top ten, I have only smoked three of them (plum pudding, Frog Morton OTT, and Eileen's dream). I guess I will be trying several more blends. Thank you.
Merry Christmas, Muttn! Just had a bowl of GL Pease The Virginia Cream. I got sweet and sour flavors. Excellent stuff. Thanks for your videos which are extremely helpful to this 3 month newbie.
Just got a tin of Eileen's Dream. Very tasty! The room note was so nice that my wife even took a few puffs off my cob! Excellent recommendation Mutton Chop, thanks again!!!
