From one pipe smoking introvert to another pipe smoking introvert I enjoyed the video. I smoke because I love the taste of tobacco and it gives me some company in my introvertness 🙂
It puts me in a zen like state. Smoking a nice pipe tobacco, I can sit outside, watch the birds n squirrels and just relax. 45-50 minutes where I do t think about anything. Just enjoying the moment, the feel, the smells, the taste, the sensations of being alive.
I was a 30 year long cig smoker, I’d occasionally smoke pipes or cigars too. I switched to smoking a pipe only. Now, I smoke 3-4 pipes a day and I don’t have that craving for them like I did for cigs. Man days I’ll only have 1-2 pipes. It’s very relaxing
Enjoyed the gentle pace of this video. I’ve smoked a pipe on and off for about 20 years. Now I’m in my 50s I just enjoy sitting down with a nice blend and letting this crazy world rumble on, it gives me time to sit and think.
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts ! Listening over in Dubai without the pipe and perhaps it’s too hot to enjoy a good blend anyhow. You are doing a great job posting ! Thanks again
That’s a beautiful pipe. I think I started smoking a pipe for the relaxation and I use it to reflect and sort my thoughts and put down my phone for a while. I got off cigarettes years ago and never really took to cigars but I like a nice quality pipe, a nice quality tobacco that smells good and a good lighter or matches. It’s a relaxing process for me. It helps my mental health
Your voice and speech tones have a natural calming affect to me. It’s as natural as the sounds of the chirping birds and water. This video, from my perspective, felt like about 5 minutes! 😊 thanks.
I've been smoking a pipe off and on since my college days, . starting about 1966. So I guess that makes me an old, "old codger. " I like what you and how you say it.
My Grandpa used to smoke a pipe. I love tobacco. it was only a matter of time. Its the most efficient and enjoyable form of tobacco useage in my opinion.
Hi Wentzel, I smoke a pipe because it is it is a man's privilege to do so. It is an individual's personal experience, the aroma, the artisanship, the sovereignty. And it really is not off-putting. I enjoy your company through your videos, thank you.
I like your original answer... "Why not?" We are of the same mind... I'm going outside to smoke my pipe now. I started smoking my pipe while serving in Iraq... something between fighting men, I guess. Thanks for making this, I really enjoyed it. Peace to you from Alaska, brother.
I smoke for a miryrad if reasons, some for nastalga some for for the taste, some for how easy it makes relaxing. Man another great down to earth chat! Thank you.
I smoke a pipe because my grandpa (who I never met) used to smoke a pipe and I used to get in the drawer and get his pipe out and play with it. I used to like the old smell of it and when I got to the age I am now, I decided that I should give it a try. I really like the smell of tobacco. I don't have much of a taster for it either, but, I'll continue to give it a go and think of my grandpa all the while. Best to you!
Plain speaking man! I smoke a pipe because it’s relaxing. Gives me time to ponder and gather my thoughts. I used to live on Oneida lake in NY, next to the Adirondack Mt. it’s great to hear the waves gently kiss the shore. Looks like your in Texas? I tell people do what ever floats your boat. I think you are one of the best talkers out there, I’ll be back for sure. Russ Henry Verona Ny🪚📐
@@russhenry8112 Thanks commenting. I live in Kentucky. When I was a boy I ordered a book by E.J. Daily called Expert Fox Trapping he trapped in the Adirondacks
Beautiful scenery in this video... love the birds singing and the moving water sounds.Dont sweat all the technical stuff your thoughts and opinions are more important.You have a great voice for narration and commentary! Like most pipe smokers I go for relaxation,ritual,tastes and smells.Love the styles and shapes of the pipes....its just a great hobby!
Thanks for a nice video, Wentz's. I do smoke a pipe. I've only just started. It just seemed like something nice to do. Something to sit and ponder with or ponder on. Slow down a bit in this busy world.
I smoke a pipe because i like the smell and taste of pipe tobacco. i really enjoy sitting down in the evening with a book and a cup of coffee or my binoculars and watch birds and wildlife
Never stop learning. It really is a living testament to a wise man. The picture and sound is great. Asa hyperactive type guy & a formerly high stress employee, i started smoking a pipe to relax and find peacful thoughts. Its been better than i coukd habe hoped for. Keep up the great videos. 🤠
Good Afternoon 😊 Perfect Sound and Picture👌🏽Beautiful Spot , Pipe and Hat 😍 Thanks For Sharing Why You Smoke a Pipe 👏🏼👏🏼 Much Appreciated 🤗 Have a Wonderful Day & Greetings From South Africa 🇿🇦
Amazing video all around. Great job and thank you for the discussion. I’ve wanted to try a pipe for a little while. I think this video has convinced me to follow through. Thank you sir.
@@dewyxl Thanks for watching and commenting. There is a lot of information on RU-vid about getting started. Smoking a pipe. Check them out. Take it slow and easy. Have a good one
I started smoking a pipe bc I was in a bad flood a few years back and lost everything and needed a way to relax and keep my mind off it so someone reccomended it and I love keeping the old ways alive
@@Thecarolinapiper I hate to hear about you flooding episode. When I was a boy we help some people elevator, freezer and appliances in preparation for flood. Fortunately they didn't get flooded but I'm keenly aware of that living around the duck River as a boy
Considering the insanity that took place just a few hours ago, it lends validity as to why I'm sitting on my back porch...smoking a good blend and sipping on something good. I smoke because I can, but most importantly, because I should.
Yessir! Thanks for the quick reply. I'm about to hit that subscribe button. I've only watched this one video, so I'll be sure to check out the others and I look forward to what is yet to come.
Looking good Al, picture perfect, sound perfect. Beautiful spot for a pipe, keep the videos simple it’s the best way, we ain’t at the movies 😂. I smoke a pipe when I get in from work maybe sometimes 2 bowls, through the day I think what pipe what bacca? All about relax time. On weekend I smoke more 😊😊
Absolutely love the scenery! Very peaceful! I started smoking a pipe about 8 months ago, to my wife's dismay. For me, it was a sort of nostalgic thing. I went to a lot of trapping conventions and did some bird hunting with my dad as a kid. There were a lot of men involved in those activities that smoked a pipe, and I always enjoyed the smell. Now that I smoke a pipe, I really enjoy the taste of tobacco too. It is a pleasant and relaxing experience!
@@Wentz789 The shock has passed. She will never be supportive of it, but she has accepted it as long as I smoke outside and keep it to are reasonable amount. I usually only smoke about 5 bowls/week.
I smoke a pipe to relax and because I like the taste, aroma, and experience better than cigars. I like collecting pipes. I made my third try at it in March 2021 because I needed something to help me unwind from work and my body doesn’t like booze. The third try seems to have stuck, thanks to information obtained via RU-vid. First try in 1984. Second in 1996. Good chat! Glad I came across your channel.
I guess I started smoking a pipe for a sense of calm. My grandfather smoked and when he passed, I was left his old Peterson. So that's why I started... now why am I still smoking after 30 years? I enjoy the slow down that comes with it. It promotes thoughtfulness and reasonable demeanor. And overall, I like who I am with those things in my life.
I smoke a pipe to connect with the past. My Grandpa and Dad. And Mark Twain. I Like Saint James Perique blends. Beautiful scenery. I like Missouri Merschum pipes. Relaxing also like you.
Well I stoped as to explain my self years back. As it is, enjoying the Pipe or Cigar and God forbid with some strong as to go along as Scotch/Borboun oh my! One are of them lowest of low! A maggot! One gentlemen came to me why? -Why? Why not? I replied. I like it, ok? I do no coke no haschish no heroin, no pills, no steroids but I am the one as to explain my self? To hell with them I say and I will puff some smoke.
Great video! I tell you. I would love to sit down with you and share a pipe and have a coversation. or maybe share a pipe and just watch the creek roll by. :) I'm sure I could learn a thing or two thanks.
I always smoke Peter Stokkebye Proper English every morning with my coffee. Like you said you want to taste the blend and enjoy your coffee. It's the only time I'll usually smoke an English Latakia blend.
Reminds me a of a more simple time when the world wasn’t all about a list of laws that one has to stick to to be righteous. Just doing what God put in your heart to do. With more slow moments and more meaningful conversation those moments, not so long ago, allowed for growth on a spiritual level.
I take siestas too, whether i want to or not😮😊.... @ 64 it kinda comes auto pilot. But not before a good pipe. I stopped asking why. Wondering if you're in a Carolinas or Arkansas....PNW here. Be well
I like to smoke a pipe to take a bit of time to pause a turn off the modern world and enjoy the taste of a fine tobacco but I have to laugh when I read reviews and they say they get raisin and blood orange and rum! I just taste tobacco.
“Why not” was my first response. On weekdays I have a bowl after work to relax and watch YTPC videos. On weekends I have a bowl or two in the morning with black coffee. This is usually the time I make videos. Plandemic. I love this. May I use this?
@@Stillypapabear Plandemic is not original with me yes by all means use it. Thanks for watching and commenting and enjoy the Burley Morning Pipe tobacco. You are becoming known for that.
Been smoking a pipe a little over 30 years. My late wife purchased my first pipe for me, at the time I was smoking cigars. Next pipe was a meershaum. Until then I'd only smoked Captain Black original cause that's all I'd ever seen my grandfather smoke. After that meershaum...all other pipes I purchased were meershaum pipes.
@@Wentz789 not anymore, have close to 20 of them and started thinking to myself maybe I had become a meershaum snob. Have come back to briar pipes. Mainly Peterson and Savinelli...just tried one Bones? Am enjoying all of them. While cleaning the briar pipes and on different days I will pick out a meershaum. They are great pipes but a good briar does produce a great smoke too.
@@Wentz789 Yes Sir I am. I have been now for some 13 years. I enjoy preaching, teaching, and living the Word of God. I’m from the Jackson,Ms area hence the 601 in the handle. I happened upon your video and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
You know more than me on the video thing. Picture is good. Sound is good. One of these days I’ll learn how to do videos. If only to do a lot of gaws. I’ve got way more tobacco than I need, pipes too. For now I like being a “non-presenter”. Watching a lot of folks, learning a lot. Why I smoke a pipe? Since I retired it gives me something to do, keeps me out of the kitchen(when it’s not so dang hot here). I don’t do it to relax. If I was anymore relaxed I’d be dead. My wife hates it all, like many wives maybe. So I’ll probably quit after a bit. Who knows. You never know what the future holds. Take it easy, old bud. Nice chat. 👍😃
