Ok, this is cool. Here I am just going through KZfaq, and I see Skip and The Briary pop up. Needless to say it was a pleasant surprise. I was born and raised in Homewood, graduated Homewood High in 1992. I’ve known Skip since the mid 90’s. Back then they were still at the old Brookwood Mall off of Lakeshore Dr. I now live in West Virginia. A friend I went to high school with, Eric, worked at The Briary for many, many years. I spent a lot of time in there back in the day. So cool to see this pop up this morning. Thanks for making my day! Cheers!

What a treasure--those of us who enjoy the hobby wish that old style shops such as The Briary could be found more widely.

I am a new pipe smoker and was JUST in Birmingham and made a stop at The Briary. Super good store, lots of selection. I just met these fellers today! CRAZY!!!

That’s probably the best smelling place on this planet.

this looks like an absolute joy to have nearby, would love to slowly work through their collection to see what jumps out

Man, I wish we had a place like this in Oklahoma, a few great cigar lounges for sure, but they still tend to cater to the flashier, louder crowd, this seems like a beautiful place to actually slow down and enjoy a smoke without having to hear ESPN in the background.

I got the privilege of stopping by to see Skip and the crew while on vacation a few weeks ago. What a cool little shop and a great group of guys running it! I'll definitely be back!

Thank you so much for posting. I had never heard of the Briary and will definitely make a trip there !

Now that’s a proper shop!

That's a great little shop , I love it.

That is truly a beautiful little shop thank you for sharing this little gem of a tobacconist zenith us😉

That's just stunning. What a fantastic store 👍👍👍

What a great place to have around, hopefully I can visit someday!

Hi Fantastic shop hope you have a great anniversary get together

What an absolutely beautiful shop!~

Hello Jeff, a wonderfully relaxing visit to your local Bricks & Mortar, what a haven to have, so important to support and promote these establishments as you have done here...Northern Briars, I have five of Ian's pipes in my collection, all are superb smokers..Ian is a perfectionist, and the most humble of craftsmen...how long Ian will continue to create these traditional quality classic smoking apparatus is an open question, my comment when pipe aquisitiion is about value / enjoyment / pleasure I have found my Northern Briars to be outstanding investments. Keep Well My Friend, and thank you so much for sharing. Steve.

Good to see that there are a few of these good old tobacco stores still out there! I'm blessed to have a tobacconist from the 1860th in my hometown. You cannot beat this decades of knowledge about pipes and tobaccos. Always a great pleasure to visit. Even if you are not planning to buy something. I always do anyway 😂 thanks for the video! Many greetings from northern 🇩🇪

We don't have many stores like this in Australia. Thank you for the awesome footage!

Wow beautiful store I wish I had one in my neighborhood

Can’t wait for the 50th birthday party I will be there! Great video! I love having The Briary so close to home.

Thank you for showing off this fantastic pipe shop. 👍🏼 Regards, Patrick (Switzerland)

wow, what a wonderful place, absolutely love the look of it with a fantastic selection of pipes & tobacco, love the glass jars..in a perfect world every town should have a shop like this

What a fun video to watch!! Thanks for sharing that!!! Glad that I happened upon it. Would love a shop like that near me!!!

man i wish we had something likr this in ireland and at these prices

Cool lookin shop!

Thanks for sharing. I love my local B&M, Paul’s Pipe Shop, Flint, Michigan. If I’m ever in your area I will definitely plan a visit to the Briary.

I am lucky that Northern Briars pipes are made just down the road from me and now that The Cheshire Pipe Club is up and running I see Ian Walker regulary. Great to see his pipes enjoyed on the other side of the pond. Enjoy yourself everyone!

Great video, thanks for sharing

Just order me some Ephemeris Tobacco- The Finest Virginia thank you for your review

What an incredible looking shop! Very cool, thanks for sharing your trip through!

Great video!! Thanks for sharing.........Jose from Texas

This was fantastic. Thank you so much for sharing.. blessings from Gettysburg Pa….

Awesome video, thank for the tour.

Thanks !!

Looks like a fantastic shop!

Really enjoyed the video!

What a great video! 😊😊😊 thanks for doing this!😊😊

Thanks for sharing this wonderful video of your local tobacconist. Wah a great place. Very inviting and helpful staff. You are lucky to have this place so close. Cheers Ron

Great video. I live in the south east alabama region and will have to make that 3hr drive to go check this place out as we don't have any real pipe store type of places around here.

Thanks for the excellent video of the Briary. We are really lucky to have a truly great pipe store and Skip and his staff here in Alabama. I try to make at least one trip per month (4 hours round trip) to visit, acquire new tobacco’s and to my wife’s dismay purchase “More Pipes!” I am Looking forward to the big July 6 event. I will be there. Thanks Jeff for the video.

That was cool

Great video! I'm subbed!!

Thanks

Enjoyed the video. Like another commenter, from South Alabama will definitely be making the 2.5-3hr drive.

I am very envious of your local pipe shop. We do have a “Tinderbox” here in Mobile but it’s nothing like the Briary.

Definitely will have to stop but next time im in that neck of the woods!

New Sub #383 You’re lucky to have such a place nearby.

Seem like a great place. Thanks for taking me along. How many ounces in the jar of Ephemeris?

The video doesn't seem to say where this place is, and then I go on their website and it doesn't have an address either 🤔

10,000 views and only 517 Sub's? COME ON! Like and Subscribe!

Thanks for sharing. I just have you a sub.

How many ounces is in that jar of Ephemiris tobacco. It's not stated on their website

where is this shop?

Is there anybody under the age of 65 that’s into pipe smoking tobacco?

Great video 🤙👏 hi from the UK 😎
