I have smoked a pipe since 1975 off and on. I smoke only pipes now, I have friends that live in a constant state of depression and stress. They take pharmaceutical drugs to control those issues. I have one friend that asked me, you dont ever seemed stressed, what is your secret. I very bluntly told him I spoke a pipe and that is what relaxes me. He just laughed and said I was NUTS!!!!! 2 years later, I ran into him and he told me that he was off all antidepressant medications. I asked him what his secret was? He replied I smoke a pipe.
I never had a complaint from anyone anywhere while smoking my pipe. But I had a good number of people offended and say nasty things to me for not wearing a mask while walking my dog, pumping gas or going to the store during the lockdowns in California and Texas.
Just realized from Jimmy's channel that I wasn’t subscribed.. First saw you on Pints! I'm a piper myself, a big fan of Virginias, and a Catholic. Nice to have you in the Church!
How wonderful! I just finished a bowl of Escudo and took a break from reading through Augustine's sermons to find this post. I look forward to giving this one a watch. Many blessings to you and thank you for your work and introduction to the world of pipe smoking.
Took a break from Dostoevsky myself. Reading E Michael Jones currently as well. Imitation of Christ and The Golden Arrow, and commentary on St. Benedict. Felt like sharing!
32:30He’s talking about Lane 1-Q or Lane Limited 1-Q. Black cavendish and Virginia. If you go into a shop that sells tobacco, it will be sold under a different name and the pipe shop will tell you that it’s their best selling blend.
What a fine conversation this has been! I do believe we pipe smokers are a quiet, yet prodigious, group. When people discover that I'm a pipe practitioner, I receive many more compliments, positive inquiries, and approbations than condemnations. Let's keep the soft flame of pipe smoking alighted!
I discovered you through Pints with Aquainas. Have to say I'm glad I did. I gave up on my pipe (Peterson) a few years ago left it out on the patio all that time. Now that I've been watchin your channel I've since bought a few Savinellis, gathered up some some tobacco and reclaimed the solitude, though short it can be, I gave up when I left the Franciscan Friary for my wife. I'm even restoring my Peterson to some semblance of it's former glory all thanks to your interview, your conversion story and now your youtube channel. God bless you, your family and your channel for helping me rediscover a little bit of who I am as a person.
What a great video! As a pipe smoker and lover of bourbon and craft beer who is also in Ministry in the SBC, I greatly appreciate your outlook and thoughts on the matter.
Loved this discussion, and I do enjoy Captain Black at times especially since that's what my grandfather smoked. I plan on finding Ash & Ember website as I have to try his Saint Michaels
Really enjoy this program. My views on the recreational use of cannabis: There are so many factors involved in discussing this subject that there is no simple answer. The main factors are: “who, age, where, and when. The use and employment of potentially dangerous vehicles, machines, and tools? Alcohol? No, never, absolutely not? Cannabis? The same answer, don’t, although the impairment is much less, and there is no violence, or aggression as a long as only cannabis is used. Cannabis is entirely a mind-affecting substance. No one is going to O.D. and die from cannabis. I find that cannabis promotes introspection and meditation. I enjoy listening to music, St. Matthew’s Passion, for example. There is also specific, or “Stoner” Music, especially for cannabis users, such as King Weed. This genre is intended to enhance the effects of the weed. I also enjoy a little bourbon over cubes before enjoying my pipe. Cannabis smokers say: “Start low, and go slow” Really enjoy your blog.
I have a couple of blue pipes, they are made of a carbon fiber and graphite. They are great pipes. Dr Grabow also made colored dooks back in the 60's and 70's but they were painted briar wood. In the 80's a Hungarian company made some pipes out of rosewood that they would paint different colors.
Also, St Michael's Holiday is a fabulous name. Here in the UK we've succumb to the fear of the cult of the body and I think it's about time we go back to the fear of the Lord. Anyway, off the soap box and time to incense my temple.
Regarding the history of the anti-smoking movement in the West, I can wholeheartedly recommend the excellent book on the subject "Velvet Glove, Iron Fist: A History of Anti-smoking" by Christopher Snowdon.
Good video and enjoying each of them. I do have a rookie question though. I'm in week three and just received my third order. Most of it is for building up my stock to age. But one I just received is a 16 oz crumble cake. I cut it into squares to fit inside a quart size jar, so that I can remove a square from time to time. And now I see people saying less air is best. But what do I do with squares of crumble cake, going into canning jars...or, once the vacuum seal pouch is cut? Do I crumble them first and then fill the jars? Or do I just not worry about it so long as the lids are tightly sealed?
The professional version of captain black he was referring to is lane 1q. Most b&m stores will carry it and call it by a different name. Love this interview but I must admit it was a bit disappointing that he's so knowledgeable about pipe smoking then says his favorite blends are essentially cherry aromatic 😆 🤣 😂 it's all love though. God bless you
I have the notes from a lecture Henri P. Gaboriau M.D. did on pipe and cigar smoking off the Seattle Pipe Club website awhile back. Briefly, the risk index number for non-smokers is 1.0. Those pipe smokers who smoke 1-2 bowls per week rated 1.05, virtually the same. The study looked at 22 articles, 21,520 smokers studied from 1969-1993.
Puritan aspects proliferated in appalachia remoteness but a rejoinder by anti religious secularism in coastal liberal communities or as my mom would have said these are feel good churches
i do not understand anyone would be avoiding something that they do, and would not show that in front of others. sad, life to have to hide who a person is. i am an open book. just do not talk about sex, that is personal.
I love all your videos and think of you highly. But, I sure would rather seen you come to the reformed faith. I really don’t like to talk religion but Catholic? I know you must do what you are pulled to but the RCC is full of serious concerns. I bid you the best.
there are not 100 people that hate the catholic church for what it is, but there are many that dislike the distorted idea of it that they have been handed over.
