I'm going back and re-watching the videos that helped me along my pipe journey. "unfortunately I work for a living." That resonates haha, I've been blessed to work remotely and enjoy far too many pipes a week the last couple of years. Glad you are back after the hiatus and know that some of us are definitely going back to re-watch your content, for me it's many of your cellaring videos.

i smoke one bowl a week. used to be heavy cigarette smoker (20 to 40 cigarettes a day), quit for 2 years now i just use pipe from time to time for a taste and i don't inhale.

You should open your own pipe and tobacco shop!

I love Muttnchop! I wish he would come back but he reminds me of myself. Sometimes you feel you have done everything you could do and you move on. We miss u Piper. Wish u would come back!

As a new pipe smoker I've been enjoying at least one bowl a day, sometimes two on the weekends. A cigar smoker for years, it was very unusual for me to smoke more than 1 or two cigars in a week. I have to say I kick myself for not trying pipe smoking years ago because I'm really enjoying it. I'm learning a lot from your videos and enjoy them very much as well. Keep up the good work.

Going back into archives today. Cheers from the South Carolina Lowcountry

I like you manner sir, I have subbed to your channel and I salute the mutton chops.

I want some Old Toby! I heard it's the finest weed in the Southfarthing. - -

I've just been watching your videos back to back the past few days. You oughta do some audiobooks or something; smooth and calm voice.

Those chops are a work of art. Love your work Sir!

Hello Sir, I am sitting on my front porch on a beautiful Sunday morning and watched your video. It made my morning smoke even more enjoyable. I found this video very helpful. I am only a weekend smoker as that is all I have time for, but look forward to retirement to be able to enjoy pipe smoking even more. I try to watch at least one of your videos each day. I shared one of your thoughts with my coworkers regarding "always treat a woman like a lady even if you know she isn't one". They thought that was great. Thank you again for sharing your experience and knowledge about pipes and life. I hope someday we can smoke a bowl together. It would truly be an honor Sir.Respectfully, Craig Hellberg.

Get through 2-3 bowls a week. Used to smoke cigarettes almost continuously until 2003. Pipe smoking, to me, is something I do as a treat, I don't really plan it, I just get a nice calm mood come on, usually when I've accomplished something satisfying, like diagnosing and fixing a long-term issue with one of my vehicles (air-cooled VWs and old motorcycles seem to follow me home a lot) and I'll think "You know what? That deserves a nice, peaceful hour on the back deck with a smoke." Really enjoy watching your videos. Stay healthy, dude.

I personally just got started a couple weeks ago. I plan on smoking once a week as many bowls that I want at a time. Usually two to three bowls. I have one session on Saturday night to help me signify the end the week. A reward for making it through the week. I like to contemplate the week I had and the week up coming. I’m worried about addiction so I try to limit myself.

Thx MP. I actually learn interesting stuff all the time from you and that’s not necessarily the case with all of the other stuff I watch. Best wishes.

One bowl a week on average, sometimes 3, sometimes none. Just whenever the mood strikes me.

I shoot for two bowls a week, but stressful weeks see me smoke a bowl every day, usually to relax after work. If I want to do more after that, or if I feel like smoking all day on a day off, I commit the heresy of using tobacco free kinnikinnick style blends. Even if there isn't a leaf of actual tobacco in the bowl, the fact that I'm sitting here smoking a pipe puts me in a good mental place.

Hello and thanks. I just started pipe smoking recently and thoroughly enjoying it. ive stopped smoking ciggarettes at least after work now which is unbelievable. Also when the worlds getting a little crazy i just stop and slow down, and light up my pipe. I was so looking forward to finishing work today so i could go home and relax with a pipe. Ive been loving your vids. Thanks for sharing your passion, from Australia - Tyson

Just smoke when there is time for joy. If there is sometimes much time, i enjoy much. ☺️ Great Video, thanks for sharing your way with us!!✌️🥃🔥☺️

Hi I'm a new smoker and I have caught on pretty good thanks to you and I'll keep watching as long as u keep making videos!

Great video! I thoroughly enjoyed it! I smoke 2-3 bowls a day, depending on how big the pipe chamber is. If it’s large, I may only smoke 1, sometimes 2. I have a large tobacco and pipe rotation! I share your love in your blend selections! Happy Smokes! 💨

You have inspired me to go out and buy some mason jars!! The tobacco looks great in the jars and look forward to how long they are going stay fresh. I love your channel and I'm a new pipe smoker.. pipe smoking is special and the people you meet that are pipe smokers are some of the best people around! Keep the videos coming! God Bless bud

Very informative and enjoyable.

Really enjoying the work. Purchased my first pipe and it should be delivered in a few days, excited doesn't even describe it! Keep up the good work. Best wishes from the United Kingdom.

I’m fairly new to pipe smoking and smoke 1 a day but recently took a few days away from the pipe , I started off with aromatics and recently bought spcs “wildman” , “plum pudding rum barrel aged” (in my cellar) and “Mississippi River” I have to say spc has opened my eyes and taste buds to an entirely new flavor profile..very Smokey I love it !

Very relaxing. 🌱✌️

Great video! Love your setup!

Definitely an excellent channel...

6-7 bowls a day here, used to be a 2 pack a day cigarette smoker, just got into the pipes again and love it, Mac Baren vanilla creme is my first and last smoke of the day, and I usually smoke Mr. Bs Canadian winter throughout the day. Using my Brigham chinook and LOVE it.

I generally smoke around the same amount as you do. Whenever my parents are out of town, however, I smoke more often - around three or four bowls a day - more if I am smoking my trusty bent billiard meerschaum. The most bowls I have ever smoked in a day was ten, and that was on the day I bought that pipe at my local B & M pipe and cigar store and took advantage of the fact that it didn't ghost. Had the last blend I tried been something other than a harsh VaPer, I probably would've kept going.

I am new to pipes and love your channel, keep the videos coming because it has helped. What I like most is your live and let live attitude so to speak on what was may be best.For example, I pretty much have to hold my pipes. I am a long time cigarette and more recently little cigar smoker, with an occasional regular cigar thrown in. For several days now, I have have been strictly smoking the pipe, which tastes great comparatively. And,not smoking things that I in hale are a little better for me. This video interested me because as I have given up those things the last few days I have found myself going from 2 pipes to maybe 5-6. Now, I only have two pipes and one has a fairly small bowl, so that may not be as much as it sounds. That bring me to a request if possible. I would like to see a video explaining bowl sizes, some of the issues associated with small bowls versus larger bowls and tip on how to deal with those issues. I have not seen a video of yours that covers this. If I have overlooked such a video please let me know. Thanks again for the awesome channel brother and happy piping!

Thank you for the video. I really enjoy your instructional videos. Even though Im a veteran smoker I always find something useful. I also enjoy the fact that your videos are like shows. You do a great job. Be well brother.

I used to smoke a blend called Field and Stream. Can't find it anymore. Great blend.

Generally as a truck driver I smoke 3 bowls a day but vape to handle my old cigarettes addiction

Hello I have been smoking a pipe for some years now.I smoke around 5+ bowls a day and sometimes I have more! I absolutely love all the selections we have as pipe smokers.

Hello Muttnchop Piper. I usually smoke one bowl every night after dinner during the weekdays when I come back home from work (most relaxed time to smoke a pipe, since it's not possible for me to apply myself to pipe smoking during my short lunch break) and around three bowls per day during the weekend, when other errands allow me to do that up to that much :)

I see those Country Squire blends behind you lol. I am from Vicksburg and go there when I can. I am now in Florida. I love Choctaw!

love your videos , 2020 !!! - FROM - India, Chennai

Been smoking a pipe now for about a year still love these videos

new to pipe smoking. love it and love your vids.

Great video thanks for sharing. I like your idea of keeping a log throughout the year to review at the end. I always struggle with my top ten because my tastes are always changing 😀

That mustache is just glorious! Goals.

surprisingly interesting video.

Try smoking Virginias and Va/Pers from a pipe with a very narrow bowl/chamber. I have found that this drastically helps control the heat because the ember is small. I have all my narrow bowled pipes dedicated to Virginia-based tobaccos for this reason.

i smoke 3-4 bowls a day

Great video buddy! Glad to find you on here, subbed ya! Have a great rest of the week!

Thanks for the great vids. I’m buying my first corn cob tomorrow and can’t wait to get started!

I'm mad jealous of your collection. I live in WA where it's virtually impossible to find nice tinned pipe tobacco, thanks to strict tobacco shipping laws and not a large enough demand. I smoke at the moment I'd say 5 bowls a day.

Thanks for making this because I was wondering how often others smoke and you and I smoke about the same. Maybe I do a little more considering I can smoke at work 😅 happy piping sir and can’t wait for a new video and hope all is well your way.

I really enjoy your videos. Just a little question hough . How often does the average pipe smoker smoke a pipe? I'm a late starter at 50 years but I have many memories of my good old Dad smoking his pipes and I decided to refurbish them and join the great pipe fraternity. Another question since I'm on a roll. Do you have issues with discolouration / coating of your tongue? I maintain a good oral hygiene but I find I have a sweet tasting/tingling feeling on my tongue for hours after smoking a bowl. There are so many questions I have so get ready....

I smoke too much as well. I start everyday with either Red Rapparee or Old Dublin. Then I usually have an aromatic for on the go, lately my favorite is Missouri Meerschaum 150 anniversary blend it’s incredible. Then I will finish the day with VaPers or some burley, I’m hooked on the ever morphing flavors of haunted bookshop as of late.

I smoke a little fast myself. I recently got a clay tavern pipe. I think it's a 16 inch. Smokes cool because of the length. Just can't hold it by the bowl. Gets hot as a skillet! Great pipe for smoking fast and it doesn't need to rest. Soon as it cools down you can reload and keep smoking.

Thanks for the video :)

I'm glad I found this. A little ammo to use when my wife's says I smoke more than anyone haha. I like the system you have for your regular smokes.

you are amazing.... i don't smoke but i like your narration.....!!!!

For now I usually smoke 5-8 bowls a week, mostly at night under the stars in the silence, and occasionally a mid day smoke on the weekends

I would love to see your dog in a video. Thanks for the great videos. Dogs make almost everything better.

Thank you!

"During the week I smoke maybe smoke 3-4 bowls." And I'm over here like, "Twice a day should be fine..."

Great intro

Great video Muttn, lately ive been smoking sparingly lately maybe once or twice a month. but when i do smoke I SMOKE LOL problay around 5 or 6 bowls a day. one of my favorites lately has been a concoction of my own. i call it Lanes revenge which is 2 parts Queen annes revenage(sutlif) and 1 part Lane 1q. Its really wonderful after a few months of sitting in jars.

On work days I’ll smoke about 3 a day. On days off about 5. Wish I had more days off.

My favorite aromatic is Nordings Hunter Series Labrador. If you haven’t tried it, you should. It’s wonderful!

Muttnchop Piper Fine Videos. You exhibit the temperament of a Math Teacher. You explain each step slowly and clearly and to top it off, you review your videos.

On the weekdays, 4 ~ 6 bowls... before lunch. Then about the same after lunch, but depends how late I stay up. Might sneak one or two more in if I’m up late working. I smoke a bit less on the weekends because our family is on the go. I smoke a bit of 1Q, Haunted Bookshop, Creme Brûlée, Gaslight, Jackknife, and Quiet Nights with the stronger blends being my early morning and late evening smokes.

I'm going for once a day a good grounding and centering. I need something more any good tabacky you could think of? I enjoy dajarum black clove cherry cigarillos.

Hi Muttunchop, I really appreciate your videos, they have been immensely helpful for me as a novice pipe smoker! You have such great content. I am trying to train myself/ work on tasting flavors, that is one of the most difficult parts of pipe smoking to me (most of the time I just discern whether I like it or not, haha). I had a question for you. Have you ever tried Ashton Smooth Sailing? I like it myself, but I’m trying to work on tasting it’s particular flavors. I hope you’re doing well, take care!

A couple of questions: I seldom smoke aromatics, but I notice that you have Old Toby jarred on your "Middle-Earth shelf". I've heard so many good things about that blend that I am seriously considering trying it. Would you give your opinion on it, its good points and its drawbacks? Secondly, I most often start the day with Early Morning Pipe and end the evening with Nightcap, both blends I learned to love when they were put out by Dunhill but find no difference in the current Peterson offerings. You listed neither as regular smokes of your own. Any reason why not? Thanks for this vid.

very nice video. i also smoke about 5bolws during the week..pipes are nice

You mentioned SC. Ever been to Boda Pipes in Greenville?

Muttonchop if a blend smokes to hot, mix a little straight Black Cavendish with it. It will tend to make the blend a little sweeter and it will burn slower.

I too enjoy English blends in the evening. I'm a big fan of full flavored blends like Dunhill Nightcap. It is very aptly named. Once you smoke that, you're pretty much finished for the day.

You are interesting to listen to , and your beard are very very nice.

The best Pipe video ever...period!

VA and VaPers I smoke really close to going out and I'm ok relighting 10-15 times if I have to. If I have thick smoke I slow down. I also just let it go out instead of trying to take quick puffs to try to get it going again. Though I did start smoking cigars before pipes so I was already smoking slower. Also, try using matches instead of a lighter (though i think you're a match user already.) The flame difference is over 400*F and can affect the flavor quite heavily. Between using only matches and not worrying about re-lights my experiences are way better with more consistent flavor and enjoyable flavor.

4-5 small to average size bowls daily of English blends (oriental forward latakia or a vaper) and 1 bowl of aromatic tobacco as a "dessert smoke" to end the night

As a newbie I'm still experimenting with many blends English and aromatics I try to smoke at least one bowl a day! Ps love the channel !

If I have nothing going on and it's nice outside, I'll go through 6-10 bowls. Its usually 1-2 bowls on a normal work day depending on when I get home. The tobaccos and pipes I choose just depends on my mood.

Hey Muttnchop, longtime listener first time caller. I know your blend selection has expanded but I'd love to know: 1 do you still smoke capstan and escudo? If so, do you find that the pipe you smoke it with seems tart or slightly sour after a couple of bowls? I have that sourness after and i don't think it is sour pipe but not sure what to do 2 you smoke Fusiliers, but have you tried whiteknight?

I met your channel a couple of days ago and, as I'm on vacancies, have seen most of the videos. Just fantastic! One of the best teaching approaches on the KZfaq Pipe Community. And you deal with some interesting, comprehensive and unique themes. Remarkable! And great video this one. I've been facing a similar problem with virginias. I love the taste, the smell. I've tried to slow down the rhythm of puffs but it still tends to give me a mild tongue bite. Do you think that if I tried some mixed tobbaco it would be better? I'd rather choose some very mild mixture (a little of the processed cavendish could change this burning?) because the virginia taste is just incredible to me. Thank you very much for the help (not just about this question but with a lot of good information in your videos)! Greetings from Brazil!

"unfortunately i have to work for a living" yea i felt that.

thank you.

New to the channel, enjoy your videos. You mentioned cadence in this video, and maybe its because all of your pipe smoking has you so darned relaxed... but my personal preference for your "cadence" is to speed up your videos to 1.25x speed. I feel that this is the sweet spot. You are so chill and deliberate with your words that it clashes with my expectations of fast talking. lol Keep up the good work!

I usually try to get in one bowl a day, usually in the evening as a way to unwind and close the day...

Do you happen to recall the blend from SC?

i really like virginias and virginia blends. but like you it seems that i am wet smoker. i use 1-2 pipe cleaners with those tobaccos. i dont have tongue bite or real hot bowl. any recommendation to reduce the wet smoke?

nothing like a good briar

I like smoking my pipe, but I am finding that I cant smoke at night before bed. If I do, I end up staying awake way too late. I am not sure if it's the nicotine, aftertaste, or both.

Im pretty much a fall/winter pipe smoker so this may be a stupid question, do you break out a different pipe for each smoke? Such as one for work, one for morning, one for evening? Or is it for each type of tobacco?

I know you might have talked about this in one of your vids, but how many bowls will you smoke out of one specific pipe per day?

Which tobacco product do you think is the most relaxing? And also, your tobacco is in jars. Do you take them out of the bags they arrive in and put them there? Why?

3 bowls a week.

Hi. Which model of the Hercules is that you are smoking? It looks like a 315EX

If it counts for anything, a few of the health related studies found benefits from smoking in moderation. The merits of the health benefits can be debated for sure, but mainly I was interested to find what they considered to be moderation. The consensus seemed to be four or fewer bowls per day. Which is about what I smoke as a minimum per month.

I smoke between 4 and 7 bowls a day. I smoke in my car so the more work I do out of my truck on a give. Day really ups the tobacco smoking. I've found that my go to tobacco of late is Lane Crown Achievement. It's an English blend, which I prefer, and it has the right amount of perique. If you haven't tried it I highly recommend it.

Make a video about your Lord of the Rings bulk tobacco

That is a lot of smoking. I can at most smoke 2 bowls a day, I'm pretty sensitive to nic and caffeine (makes sense since they bond to the same receptor). It's a blessing and a curse, forces me to really regulate how much I consume of either, otherwise I get a lot of anxiety and insomnia.

Muttnchop Piper, I absolutely love your videos sir. The only piper I subscribe to on KZfaq actually. My question is, are most all of your pipes smoked indoors? I once smoked a half bowl of an aromatic inside and the wife was NOT happy with me. She said it smelled horrible, and I think I had to agree with her, it didn't sell nice at all. It was 1Q. I figured I'd try the most popular blend to pull off an indoor smoke! If you do smoke indoors mostly, do you notice a pretty nasty smell in your smoking room at all? Maybe I'm just doing it wrong :) Thank you again for all the great videos, you have a calming way about you, so when I can't smoke to relax (it's snowing outside) I can watch some Muttnchop vids!

Where can I buy Sleepy Hollow?

I am looking for a good aromatic. I want to find that amazing cherry tobacco. Can anyone make a good suggestion. I have found myself really enjoying English blend. They seem to be the most flavorful. New to pipe tobacco. But i really enjoy it. Shout out to mutton chop.

Great Videos; I would love a smoking parlour. I do have a question about pipes if may? are tobacco pipes only any good for tobacco or could you smoke other natural, aromatic substances in them? I found this channel after looking on amazon at A.P Donavan pipes!
