Would you consider a session on how you clean your pipes. They are all very nice. My rims tend to get dark despite careful lighting and care. Great collection.

@hobbitonpiper 6 ай бұрын

Great suggestion! I’ll add it to my video ideas list :)

@briandawkins984 6 ай бұрын

Richard, this solution will seem a bit strange. Coat the bowl rim with saliva, thick coat mind. Wait a minute, now take a soft cloth and wipe the rim. The enzymes in your saliva dissolve the black lava. Repeat until clean, and polish the rim with food grade wood wax. In the event the lava is really thick use a hand sanitizer 75% alcohol but only wait 30 seconds before wiping off. Use this ONLY for severe cases.

Great video Kevin. It’s been awhile. I have been searching my birth year pipe for years. I was conceived and born in 1946 and have yet to find a verifiable pipe manufactured in that year. I do wish the pipe manufacturers would stamp a date on their pipes. Thanks for the video and stay warm. 💨💨

@hobbitonpiper 6 ай бұрын

Hi Bob, you should be able to determine the nomenclature for a 1946 Dunhill. You’ll need to do some research, but I believe many from that year will be stamped “MADE IN ENGLAND” with a “6” (for 1946) followed by “PAT. NO. 417574/34”.

Great video. I've smoked pipes and cigars off and on since I was 30. I'm 52 now. There wasn't a ytpc to reference for most of my smoking years and I've come to a realization that I missed out on so many delights. I was a cheap smoker. Smoking just to smoke really. And your video today and other videos that I've watched recently has really opened my eyes to the true joy of it all. Your pipe review entertained and interested me. I'm going to try some new shapes and brands and I'm looking forward to finding some of those tobaccos as well. Anyway, new subscriber. Cheers.

You can't go wrong adding a cheap corn cob or two to your collection. That way you can let your main pipe rest and smoke different blends in different pipes. All without spending much $. I'm a briar snob and I won't hesitate to admit that Missouri Meerschaums perform wonderfully.

Just started my pipe journey with a cob pipe and some Lane 1-Q on recommendation. That first bowl was delightful!! The experience was very relaxing and meditative. The tobacco was good, not as flavourful as I expected, though I began tasting more toward the end, possibly due to the pipe being new. I later ordered a starter kit with a briar pipe and smoked Half and Half. I want to start with some OTC blends that are well established without comparison. Figure I'm more likely to appreciate them that way. I actually really enjoyed half and half! More flavorful than Lane for me, though I'll give them both a few more tries before coming to any final judgment. I also tried Sutliff 1849. I really liked the Vaper taste! Only trouble was that I couldn't keep it lit. Maybe it was too moist right out of the tin. I may dry it out and bit a try again. So far, I like everything I've tried!

@@hobbitonpiper today I will present the latest model, it's called "Bud Of Titania", it's a Titanium Calabash, if you can, take a look at it, it's really worth it! I apologize for having advertised in this way and if you want to delete this message I understand, it's right, but you are a very good KZfaqr, knowledgeable and friendly and who knows, maybe there will be a way for you to try this truly innovative model. Thank you 🔥🇮🇹🔥🤗🤗

Hey there Piper! You are without a doubt one of my favorite piper related youtubers, keep it up! I was wondering if you could to do a tobacco review on Grousemoor? I'm very keen on trying it but I would love to hear your opinion on it (mainly because I profoundly enjoy your tobacco reviews). Cheers!

- Castello - Savinelli - Stanwell (Yes! Incredible bang for the buck.) I have too many of them all, and they are all fantastic! I have a few Petersons after my father. They are excellent both in smoking and looks, but I don't like the "spitbowl" below the shank. I don't need it, and it is just setting you up for groceness. Dunhill pipes are very good, but you have to fork out serious cash to get a good one. In my opinion they aren't worth the outlay for a used pipe. But, as I said, if you got one (or two...), enjoy. My honorable mention could be Ascorti. They are up there with the best both in looks and smokability. Keep puffing!

What a great video, Kevin! The last three days it’s been under 5° here where I live. I’ve also been fighting a horrible, sinus infection and cough, so combined with this cold weather, it hasn’t been fun. Luckily, my house is heated by the floor, so it’s been about 75 to 77° the whole time. I really like that 320 Elganza. I know I’m in the minority, but I’ve never liked the looks of the Savinelli 320. I like the 673 style. The Elganza negates fat stem. I like the shape of the bowl very well so I think that’s the pipe I should try to get next. I am a big fan of the Petersons silver spigot bent apples. My favorite Savinelli so far are the 673 models. I have two of them. I also enjoy the Savinelli 636, which is a little bit beefier than the 626. it does get a bit hot. The 673’s, with their thicker walls, always stays cool. I would love to get a church warden just like that one you have. It looks so nice. Looks like it would be a good smoker as well. God bless you and your family. John.

Hi John! Yeah this 320 eleganza is special, I do think you’d love it. 673’s are great, I own a few and couldn’t make this video without mentioning one! You have a great pipe and tobacco collection, well done friend :)

I have a Peterson system deluxe 20fb in a sandblasted black finish. I think Petersons black finishes are just amazing and the photos you see online do not do them justice. This is not a large pipe but it’s a sitter so it’s very convenient and it just smokes better than anything else that I have. And the sandblast that Peterson does is one of the best in the business. This should be a $500 pipe It’s that good

I guess everyone knows that Dunhill, Peterson and Savinelli are great pipes, of which I have a few and love. But Chacom and BBB are also my some of my favorites. Parker pipes are also a great pipe for those on a budget.

We share the same appreciation for sandblast-finish pipes. They just smoke better for some reason and i think they look better too.

I have two estate Savinelli nonpareil pipes that are favourites - hand carved? And more than a few Peterson System standard (estates) that I would not part with easily. Temperature here on the south west coast of British Columbia -20 degrees centigrade and a snow forecast. Stay warm. I’m wearing wool socks for the first time in 20 years.

I was able to get the rusticated version of the Savinelli 320 Elganza. It is quickly becoming my favorite pipe. Oh by the way, I picked up the St. Dupont knock off lighter from eBay. It just arrived today. I can’t even believe that it says on it St. Dupont Paris made in France. Are you gonna be going to the St. Louis pipe show tomorrow? I’m going to be going. I can’t wait. If I can find a smooth Savinelli 320 Eleganza, I think I’ll pick it up. My wife is going with me because it’ll be an opportunity for her to actually have real Italian food. Lol , I always enjoy watching your videos, Kevin. Have a blessed weekend. John.
