Some simple suggestions for the new pipe smoker that may streamline your decision and make your initial pipe experiences a little easier...specifically from the pipe point of view! #ytpcpipecommunity #pipesmokingcommunity #tobaccopipes
I highly recommend Stanwell Beechwood pipes! They can get a lil warmer than Briar BUT if you get it hot, once you have a nice carbon layer, you smoking too hard! They are great smoking pipes in 6 or 9mm filter optional. Best of all these pipes are under $40
Also- Missouri Meerschaum makes a $7 pipe called Ozark bent cherrywood I can’t say enough great things about this pipe! I’ve had 2 for over 6 years now and they both still work great! The stems are getting kinda crap but they can be replaced! Also, accepts a 6mm filter!!!!! Great pipe and smokes as well as a $30 but for a mere $7
Smoking Pipes might have them! I broke mine recently…gotta replace that sucker, lol. Peterson makes a nice small Prince style with a great sized bowl for those quickies.
@@calebwhiteknives bro I got a good morning joke I was watching TV and saw a lady whith long legs and said dude u can't out run her for children support like I got a wife whith 7 mother's of my children so I thought it was funny I put myself on paper
Love the copper accent on that peterson. I have a few of fhe rattray distillery pipes that have the copper band too. Have you noticed it green at all from oxygen? Thise bings favorites are awesome too. I love smoking my pipe when i golf, i think that would be the perfect pipe for that.
I haven’t gotten oxidation yet on the copper, but it’s an easy clean up with some basic metal polish. The Bings is definitely an easy pipe to clinch; I wouldn’t hesitate to take it on the course!
@@calebwhiteknives Can you please send me a great smoking Briar pipe? I'm a recent right leg amputee and financially devastated to say the least. I so desperately want a great cool smoking pipe to sit on my back porch to just smoke my misery away! Please 🙏 help
@@3BrothersRC I do not currently have any available for purchase; however, there are multiple online vendors with a plethora of available pipes - including some very inexpensive corncob pipes.
I was also impressed. I’d love a custom handmade pipe, nothing real fancy mind you, but wow… I can’t put down $200+ for a pipe,. Not when my Stanwell Beechwood smokes soooo well for under $40
Great video! I wish I had watch this and others before buying my first pipes. I bought 2 bent billiard and well found out about moisture and pipe smoking . My third pipe is a rossi notte wonderful pipe , and a savinelli roma both are great pipes . Thanks again for great info keep up the good work.
Thank you! Yeah, starting out I wish I'd tried some other pipes early on too: I have some really bent pipes now which I thoroughly enjoy with some blends, but the learning curve was steep, lol.
Just found you on RU-vid and subbed. Enjoying the videos. Agree with you on the Bing’s Favorite. Got one last year and it’s becoming a favorite. Unexpected for me because I mostly preferred bent pipes. Appreciate you sharing your thoughts!
Brand new smoker here. I’m looking at something called a star fire billiard, or a Canadian, I think they are the same shape? It’s about 6” long, and perfectly straight. Would that be a good starter? I do have a country gentleman cob, but looking for a briar as well. Next question, what is the purpose of wrapping a pipe in leather?
I would assume the straight style your talking about would be a great starter...generally the more streamlined/straight the drill and bowl dynamics are, the less moisture will build up; which translates to cooler smoke all around. Some of it may depend on the tobacco type, but in general, yes you can most likely expect an easier smoking experience. On the leather: in the instances I've seen it historically, it's usually to add some strength and resilience to a thin shank area, or purely aesthetic. It may also aid in keeping things cool in your hand as is the case with clay pipes. I wrap my clay's with garment leather, and it just helps give something to hold onto, and keep it from burning your fingers. Hope that helps!
@@calebwhiteknives I appreciate all the information. You seem to be one of the most knowledgeable people in the subject who I have spoken with thus far. I am curious what your thoughts are on the Falcon pipes? Particularly, a Falcon pipe with a Meerschaum bowl?
@@airadaimagery692 It's because I have OCD and go all-in every time I pick up a passion, lol....it's a gift and a curse sometimes. As for the Falcon; I don't really have a fully formed opinion on them yet. I only recently acquired on and didn't get a Meerschaum bowl. My first impression is that it smoke well, is lightweight, and is nice that it's modular. It's been very cool smoking with most blends I've tried, however the little 'calabash' basin under the bowl gets really funky really quick and it seems to reflect a lot more the acrid tastes from the junk into the smoke. It's also not easy to clean unless you get the extra thin pipe cleaners. Those are really my only complaints though, and are minor. It is easy to 'stow-and-go' without much worry of damaging it. They are also cheap enough, relatively, that a minor investment may be worth it to give it a try. I would like to get a meerschaum bowl for mine and see if it's even more cool smoking than the briar.
@@calebwhiteknives thanks for the reply! well, I think most of us suffer with some level of OCD, but that’s cool. But you said that the taste is affected by the design, and you actually taste the nastiness from what’s being filtered? Forgive me if I misunderstood you, but that doesn’t sound too good... I know that you can pick them up for relatively cheap, but I was thinking that if I got one of the polished pipes with the white mouth piece, and paired it with a meerschaum bowl, that just might be a really attractive pipe... But after shopping around, I found that particular pipe for around $50, and the bowl is about another $50, so, I was already looking to spend a little too much on something that I don’t even know how well it would perform, or, even if I would like it.,. Especially when all I have to compare to is the awesomeness of my one and only corn cob pipe. Lol.. But the way that you and everyone else seems to speak of the Falcon pipes, and how cool they smoke, I thought, in my mind, and from my observations, that this pipe paired with a meerschaum bowl and all of it’s qualities and the way that it performance, not only would it look cool, but it would out perform any other option, theoretically! But, thats probably just my inexperienced mind trying to rationalize a solution for having only one pipe to contend with on a daily basis... I should probably just stick with my corn cob, and order a second one...
Not that come to mind. My personal preference is to find the individual pieces; like a specific pipe, etc., then build the periphery around it as suit my needs.
Basically when the pungent stank from a very piquant tobacco stains your bowl and makes everything you smoke after that taste like the ghost of the stanky ‘baccy. Until it finally fades, or you do a deep cleaning, aka a briar exorcism. 😆
