Great vid! Amazing how most people only associate the large calabash with Sherlock Holmes. This sheds light on the true pipes he used which varied in shape and size.
Once Upon A Pipe what an honor!! I’ve been a subscriber of yours for years!! I’m truly honored that you would comment on one of my videos. You are a legend in the pipe community. Yes you are so correct. Thanks so much!! Mike
I just got my Watson rusticated. I love it so much. Draws perfect. Mitigates moisture well. It is deceptively chonky and feels great in the hand. I got it for the bowl size and girth as I was hoping to make it The House / Library pipe. I like how the Rhodesian / Bulldog shape is typically a smaller shape with wide bowl but works for this size and the depth. I have a churchwarden 9mm filter stem I bought so that I could churchwarden out a few of my filter pipes by swapping stems. My Peterson Watson will take the Muxiang eBay churchwarden stem as well so now it also has an alter ego
Oh man I’d love to see the Watson transformed into a churchwarden. That would be one amazing churchwarden. I’m so glad you like yours. It’s one of my favorites
Thanks for posting a thorough recap of the complete Sherlock Holmes lines.I love that intro,the music really works with the video clips.By a happy coincidence I just received my first Sherlock Holmes pipe yesterday; the Original Heritage.Im really impressed by its look and whole presentation,wished they still had that special box though...Lastly , hats off to the incomparable Jeremy Brett whose portrayal of Holmes will be compared to others but will never be bettered IMHO.
@@roberthager7390I do apologize. I never heard of that one. What’s the shape called? Can you email me a picture? My email is in the channel’s description
Brilliant stuff! Thanks for sharing the whole collection with us! As a fellow fan of the greatest detective, I have always wanted to start collecting that series - just never committed to it like you have! Excellent work!
Hello Mike, I enjoyed this video and appreciated it. I don’t always watch everybody’s full length videos but I always watch your videos from beginning to end so I do appreciate them. Be Well!
LOVED this video. It was like watching a documentary. The Hudson was my favorite of all. I googled it and am going to have to save up for one. Thanks for creating this. I’m going to watch it again.
Great video Mike, lovely fore and aft cap. The Original and Return series all came in the nice green box. I don't remember the "Adventures" series, though the Moran shape rings a bell 🔔!
This is my first Old Man Things video and I loved it. Big fan of Sherlock Holmes and now I have a new mission to collect the entire Sherlock line just as you have. Hoping to buy the Mycroft as my first!
I'm a big fan of the Deerstalker and have four of those. But I received a Baker Street as a gift and it's a fantastic smoker as well, so I may branch out.
Once you start looking at the shapes they are so fantastic. And different. I find myself reaching for the professor now more and more and I’d never guess that before.
Good Morning 😊 Happy new year to you and your family🎊🎉🎆🎇 Sorry 😢 i was away and did not see your last few posts , but im back 😂 Awesome collection of pipes👌🏽Have a great day and i will see you in Baker Street soon😅 when the collection starts growing 👏🏼 Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦
You have quite the collection Mike and You definitely are a completionist. Very nice indeed. By the way, I've been emailing you. Please let me know if you've received them. Cheers.
I went by what the write up said. I opened this can of worms before and I am keeping it shut. Ha! :0) Dunhill has a different point of view and some of on one side strongly and some are on the other side strongly. Thanks my friend Mike
Hey my absolute favorite shape is a straight billiard as well. I think personally I’d go for the Peterson if it were I. You might try the Mycroft. That’s very neat being the closest to the straight billiard. But these pipes and changed my mind about only wanting straight billiards and I never thought I’d chance my mind to be honest
Great details in this video , 1st comment on your channel as well , just wondering if you have played with Ashton Brindle Bent Calabash With Silver trim on it ? If so what did you think of that pipe ? It sure does looks good :)
Before I forget… Reigate = Rye-gate Not sure what Mrs Hudson would make of having such a huge chunky pipe named after her. I’d’ve thought they’d go for something smaller and more Scottish - like Rattray’s Sleinte.
@@oldmanthingspipes well, you know what we English are like - we change pronunciation daily just to mess with you ‘furriners’. It’s our national sport.
@@oldmanthingspipes ‘Requesting my figure’, eh? 🤣🤣🤣you dirty ol’ man - good job I know what you mean! I expect it’s decided you’re spam. I’ll go and have a look. ‘
hello brother, my name is Ben, I am your subscriber from Indonesia, from your many videos I really want to try a Tobaco pipe, it's just that I can't afford to buy it... I really want to have a Tobaco pipe like you... I was carried away by dreams in my sleep hahahaha 😂 Anyway, I pray that your channel will be more successful,
Thank you so much Ben. I’d love to help. Please find my contact info in my channel description and also please look up the rules of what can and can’t be sent to your country
I wonder: Your stems look like they are acrylic, I own 7 of the SH Peterson series, bought in the very early 2000‘s & they have ebonite stems & are all a bit used & „green“ by today…
