The bob ross of pipes, fantastic :)

I put the bowl in my mouth when I smoke

I am an amateur pipemaker. As such when some purchases from me I always include a hand written letter of gratitude, at the end I always include a list of tobacco outlets local and online, I also include the name Muttonchop Piper as a vast pool of knowledge. This man is so intelligent and a pleasure to watch and listen to. Thank you sir for the many years and many videos you have given us. God Bless my friend.

"You are working far too hard to relax." Couldn't have heard wiser words today.

You had me going for about 15 seconds. The Oscar goes to MCP! Very important info. Clinching a heavy pipe fatigues my jaw. And they can slip and fall out of your mouth and hit the ground. Full bent pipes are easier to clinch than straight pipes for you beginners. Thanks MCP! I always clinch on the Right. Guess I am a natural. Hope you are well!

I started with pipes only about 10 years ago, one of (in my opinion) first mistakes was joining a bunch of online forums looking for FAQ's etc, the snobbery among some, not all, but some in the communities such as the type you're mocking made me ignore pretty much all online communities till now. Glad to see this channel and others like it. 👍

I put the bit in one of my nostrils and snort the smoke. That’s how real pipe smokers do it. ☠️💀. Jus kiddin

I know it's years old but still holds true today. I'm a clencher so I can relate with not having a pipe too long or heavy for my comfort. The toothaches are nothing to mess with. Great vid!

I like my pipe on the left if I'm clenching, on the right if I'm holding. Good video as always Mr Mutton. Keep em comin.

Loved how you delivered what you wanted to say with this video, I find it incredibly ejoyable to watch your videos even though my pipe is still closing in on the road.

I like how you cover some many factors about pipe smoking. Some people have that "ALL OR NOTHING" mentality, but you provide a great deal of comfort to us beginners. You don't look around the room waiting to criticize someone. Instead you show the upmost respect and support for your fellow piper. Sometimes I'm in the mood to use the breathing technique and other times I'm in the mood to puff like a steam engine. Thanks again and I look forward to watching more videos.

This is my first week in learning to smoke a pipe, I found this video hilarious at first, you had me rolling on the floor laughing.

Some of the best advice I’ve ever had about the topic! Thank you for your time.

I laughed real hard when I saw your video, I have watched most of your videos and have learned so much with the information that you have given. I have been a pipe smoker for a few years now and knew very little about different pipes and different varieties of tobaccos that are available. Your videos have been so informative and the knowledge that your have passed on to us new and old pipers is greatly appreciated. Thank you and I look forward to continue viewing your videos.

Your videos are literally the most helpful I've found so far. As a beginner pipe smoker, I've found that your tone and delivery is easy to follow and enjoy. Thank you so much! 👍👍👍

I sincerely hope youve made it through 2020. ANNNNNND I hope you make more videos. It's not only the content, its your personality. The way you carry yourself. Plus you're very informative. Thank you! Make more videos please. Even on the same topics just newer or diff thoughts. We would all watch, I guarantee it.

I really appreciate this channel - Muttnchop Piper's attitude is so welcoming to those new to pipe smoking.

Excellent, I haven’t got enough teeth left.....you had me going for a while , I recently started pipe smoking after a forty year gap , and I subscribed to your channel , and I’m learning lots.....the videos on advanced breathing method were great, I mix that method with gentle sipping puffs, and I’m loving my re found pleasure in pipe smoking.... thank you , from Devon, England 🤙

Dear Sir that was an absolute funny and really great way to describe the proper way to clench a pipe I find that I truly do enjoy your videos in your great educator on the hobby thank you very much sir. New to the Hobby been smoking now about three months consistently most of my pipes are corn cobs

I love it My friend, I got a good chuckle, sad thing is that there are people out there that really do believe that there is only one way to be a REAL PIPE SMOKER. Thanks for another great video. Brian

My friend you made me laugh 😂 so bad on this video that my stomach hurts ahhhh God. Thanks awesome video👍

I just discovered your series last week when looking for videos to help my friend start pipe smoking. I wish I found you sooner! This video sums up how I feel and your delivery was awesome!

Thank you for the excellent information and insight. I am getting back into pipe smoking and have throughly enjoyed your videos and presentation on this matter.

This videos are giving me the confidence to start smoking pipe. I am crazy to start !

Brand new pipe smoker here, and would like to thank you for your videos. Learning a lot thanks to folks like you. Done about a half dozen smokes so far, and my after work smoke today was my most successful and most enjoyable. Please keep up the exceptional videos!

Greetings from Scotland! Just subscribed to your videos and really enjoying them. Have been a pipe smoker for over forty five years but happy to say one never stops learning new tips.

Just dropping in to say coming from a new comer who has just placed an order for my very first cob, I have learnt so much from your videos and knowledge you have shared. Thank you!!! Just got to find my first tobacco now. Thanks again for sharing your wisdom sir.

@Muttnchop Piper, thank you for this video. I am considering going into pipe smoking and your videos are the kind of kind, thoughtful guide I need. Thank you for the work you've taken upon yourself to spread good, useful information about pipe smoking! You have a new fan :)

I love this channel. So glad I found it. Just started pipes to ween off cigs. Great!!!

Thanks for this, I've started smoking a pipe again recently but I've had to try and change how I clench my pipe since I got my false teeth, your points in this video makes me feel a little less stupid looking. All the best, cheers!

Loved this video you made me Lol! I am so glad you brought this subject to the forefront because for me as a female pipe smoker i am already feeling somewhat self-conscious. I know now that I can smoke my pipe the way its comfortable for me and how to deal with meddling, judging, interfering busybodies. Thank you Muttonchop!

Each your dialog with us is perfect. Thanks.

Great video! Many thanks for sharing your wisdom! …so many lessons to be learned, and not only about pipe-smoking, but also lessons which can be applied to life itself! Keep up the good work, @Muttonchop Piper! You rock!

I'm a new subscriber and have stopped smoking cigarettes and have turned back to smoking my old pipe which is a small bent stem which I love. I find as watching these video's that your knowledge and realization that we are not all the same. In this video you talk about mouth structures glad to hear those words from you, things we don't talk about, you did, thanks. You also talk about the length and weight of the pipe, important. I am going to be looking for a couple of good quality pipes and different premium tobacco's for my relaxation and enjoyment will be watching, thanks again.

I'm shure this is the best pipe smoking channel. Thank you very much Good Sir 😀👏👏👏👏

I have been smoking pipes since the late eighties... And found out that's the most comfortable position to clinch the pipe n smoke it for hours... the bottom line is enjoying the time spent with my pipe...n my favourite tobacco... with whatever...books.. nature .. birdwatching...or simply contemplating... that's it...❗👍

Hi muttnchop Piper. I recently subscribed to your channel and I am loving your videos. This one was spot on. Fantastic content. I was a little thrown by your intro at first but I loved where you took it. I think this video will bring confidence to a lot of people. A couple of years back I was enjoying my evening pipe and a guy who was also a pipe smoker came up and almost knocked my pipe out of my mouth and gave me a harsh 10 minute lecture about what I was doing wrong. I was so shaken. Hints, tips and advice are always appreciated and welcomed, that's the joy of a pipe smoking community but it's not ok to force your style and your way of doing it on someone else. pipe smoking is so personal and for me it's about the philosophy of it all, the peace and relaxation it brings and the chance to slow down and take stock of things. If someone is achieving that I don't care if they are smoking upsidedown and covered in honey. Happy piping to you too sir.

So glad I watched this. I was laughing through your introduction. I was really happy to see your 320. I have a couple on the way and had no idea they were that big, I just fell in love with the shape. I thought they were smaller, but I like how it looks in your video. Thanks for sharing. Love your videos.

This has got to be the funniest video I've seen in a long time. I was actually going to comment that I smoke my pipe upside down, but you beat me to the punch! Oh and I think the first 1.5 minutes are the funniest... I agree with you, the correct way is the exact way you hold/clench your pipe--except for maybe upside down.

Good day Sir. I am really enjoying g your videos. Please keep them coming. God bless and have a great week.

I love your dry humor. You are hilarious.

You, sir, are a true gentleman. Great video! 👍🏼👍🏼

I love your dry sense of humour MC. Another great video as well

Up side down pipe smoking was hilarious 🤣Another good video. Thank you, sir👍🏻

as soon as i heard u say this is the right way i knew u were trolling and i had a hearty chuckle.

Looking to get into pipe smoking and have watched about 10 of your videos. Thanks for all the information and content!!!

I appreciate you making this its the best tutorial I’ve seen and I have been searching for the most comfortable way to smoke you helped a lot man

Three years and still funny. Great info as always. Thanks Muttnchop.

I've been smoking a pipe off and on for 10 years. I appreciate the info that you share. I learn something every time I watch your videos. I am right handed, but because of the way my teeth are I clench my pipe on the left. I cannot stand to have it on the right as it is uncomfortable. I've never heard that there was a proper way to do this. Thanks, keep the info coming!!!

"You're not really a pipe smoker." HA. I was thinking this morning how great your videos are because while you speak with the wisdom the comes from long experience, you also admit your mistakes, take and experiment with the advice of others, and always remind us that at the end of it all this is your opinion, and that you're not dictating anything.

I was belly laughing. Thanks for that Muttnchop.🤣 I find it relaxing to switch up what hand I use at times as well as my mouth clench (left, right, center). It seems it's stimulating different parts of the brain.

I just found you channel today, I bought a pipe that will be here in a few days, and I wanted some information. After watching a good chunk of your catalogue, and you putting a pipe in your mouth upside down, I feel like your my cool Uncle now. Thanks for the content.

Ur a good soul ole choppie. I enjoy your videos and I don't even smoke. Although I am now considering the hobby of being a pipe smoker. Cheers ole boy

Wonderful, and thank you! I really like your videos and glad I found you. I would love a video on how to relax while smoking/enjoying a pipe. I smoke everyday at my little table or outside. I still can't seem to get in that "relaxation" stage. Maybe too many distractions and/or my mind is constantly racing and thinking of other things. Thank you again for your time and videos!

Softee bits for the win! Thank you for your thoughts on this topic, really enjoy all your videos.

being new smoker, I found this very helpful. thank you sir.

Pipe smoking is a personal thing. You should always do whatever fits best for you. Nice video.

Your satire/sarcasm is peak. Just like my grandpa, i guess it comes with pipe smoking

I love you sir!.. From India... You are so lovely, friendly and amusing.

Hey Muttonchop. It is amazing how quickly you find out if your pipe is too heavy to clinch. My teeth don't hurt, but my jaw will. Sometimes I get busy with something using my hands and go whoa, I got to put this baby down! Thanks for the great videos, as usual. Safe Travels.

Been enjoying your videos a little while now. That was very enlightening and thanks for this.

I wanna be full honest in this one comment. I'm a pretty young chap , I'm 23 years of age... But regardless of my young age i feel like i should share this just as an example ,out of respect for the words of this man. I'm paranoid. I started having a really hard time sleeping ever since i was 8 years old. I don't like surprises , good or bad, i like to map out my life and follow everything according to plan. That has led me to a path of spending a lot of hours (or days) without sleep, but still having the need to rest my mind and bones without compromising the normal course of my life. I am sharing this because this man said something which i believe to be extremely important and should not go unnoticed , which is the reason for smoking pipe , that being relaxation and contemplation of thought. If i were to spend my nights of smoke and thoughts worrying about the way i smoke being the correct one or not, that would have seriously affected my whole sense of being as a person, both physically and psychologically, in a negative way. You should really only focus on your own satisfaction with yourselves and your actions, gentlemen. That is all i wish to say. Cheers, and thank you for the video.

Great stuff! Your videos are always informative and entertaining. Looking forward to the next one

"Might as well be mowing the grass." Love it. Appreciate your content

Great video! You're like the sage advice giving, pipe smoking uncle I never had! I myself can't clench for more than a minute or two because I start to salivate like crazy. Drooling into your pipe doesn't make for a pleasant smoking experience. Keep up the good work, bud!

I've grown to love the pipe bits. The rubber things you put on pipe stems. I hated them at first but I've grown to like them, they keep teeth marks off of my stems when I do clench, and keep oxidation at bay.

Beside of being a pipe smoker, I like your attitude as a gentleman sir.Good luck with your endeavors.

Excellent as always. I have poor dentition with many missing teeth (medical reasons) so as I have grown into the pipe world, I'm increasingly finding that I clench less and hold more. When I'm driving I have to be handsfree so it's a cheap cob and I chew the merry hell out of it. When at home, holding the bowl encourages me to clench with my lips if at all, keep the teeth away. Benefits: gentler draw, encourages sipping, encourages me to take the pipe away periodically rather than constantly chuffing on it, causes less damage by chewing on the bits of increasingly expensive pipes - and, holding it helps me keep a check on whether it is getting too warm. Clenching by its nature makes my jaws tense up, makes me on edge, makes me have to grip something. No, I'm doing this so I can relax, not get all edgy. So like you suggest, each piper needs to find their zone, but for me it is about pacing myself and holding by hand rather than teeth. If I have to do more relights because I forgot, then perhaps that is a sign I'm relaxing!

Thank you Sir for your information and tips. I enjoy sitting by a fire with a brandy and Peterson pipe. your tips have made this more pleasant. It would be an honor to enjoy a pipe with you. if your ever in Knoxville look me up

I have been watching you and start smoking pipe as per your instruction. I order frog Morton on the town and it just arrived. My savanelli author will arrive this Friday. Can't wait to smoke that pipe. Thank you for your videos.

This guy is a class act. Love your videos.

I got a filling on my right side that does not agree with clenching. So I clench left even tho I smoke right handed. I never even considered that I could be doing something wrong. Thanks for the laugh at the beginning!

Thank you, been 7 months and still learning.

Instructions unclear. I now have a bowl of cereal upside down in front of my face.

Thank you especially for the last advice!

I KNEW HE WAS JOKING, THIS TIME *GREATLY* MAN YOUR SERIOUSNESS ADDED TO THE JOKE HUGE BALLS This was flawless, I slowly started to realize that you could not changed by one video

I've quite envious of your back round accoutrements. I have all my pipe stuff crowding my fireplace mantle, much to my wife's dismay...

Ones i read about the fact that during the WW1, some soldiers in the trenches use to smoke the little cigars with the brace inside the mouth, because of the snipers.Dont know if it was true, but i love those little ways to smoke differently .You make the joke of the pipe upsidedown, but my grandfather ones told me that here in Italy, many people smoked with the pipe upsidedown to be able to smoke under a light rain. You are right, veryone should be feel free to smoke as they prefer! Greetings from italy!

late to the party but I love for your videos and they've been terribly helpful

great video and attitude towards potential criticism, I just wish there was a pipe smoker locally passionate enough to berrate other smokers

It dosen't matter how you clinch your pipe...if somebody's seriously saying which way is the only way to clinch a pipe....that person can't be right minded. Pleasant clip and as always cool & dry smokes mate.

Love your videos. Been watching them lately.

Great video! Easy to follow.

you are a beautiful soul. Thank you for these videos!

I really miss this guy.... Wish I could smoke a bowl with him and pick his brain for awhile. A true grand master!

Excellent video. I can clinch most of my pipes. Some differently due to how the bit is shaped. My Dr Grabow Duke I don't clinch because the bit will not let me. It has a small bowl and large bit. Not comfortable. Can't remember the last I smoked it. The others I can manage with comfort. Enjoy your day and thanks again.

4:15 holy shit...THAT is a thing of beauty.

I’m new to pipe smoking but this guy is great

I smoke my pipe the way I want to. I dip my pipe into the pouch or tin to fill it and I clench my pipe alternating it on both sides of my mouth during the smoke. I also don't worry if I have to light my pipe more than once. As you said, it's not relaxing if it's too much like work when you smoke you're pipe.

The 320 is my favorite Savinelli shape, and I have several of them, including a Punto Oro 320K that although lovely weighs in at nearly 90 grams. Because I'm a clencher, I no longer purchase any pipe that weighs over 50 grams. The Savinelli 321 is perfect. It has that beautiful 320 shape, but it is smaller, and the two I have eacg weigh about 40 grams.

😂😂😂 pipe upside down*** “if that’s relaxing for you” To each his own!

Awesome content as always! i liked the satirical start, but you kind of scared me at first :D i have never thought about how the make up of ones teeth may affect how they clench their pipes. When i am out in the sticks for an overnighter or couple day stay i often use a straight pipe, and when it is raining ill turn the pipe over and smoke it upside down almost exactly like you described :) I learned that from an old piper at my local B&M

I'm a minute in and I just know there's going to be a wonderful punchline coming.

Great videos.. I appreciate you sharing..

Muttnchop Piper hello my friend you made me laugh when u talked about the warden pipes looks like an elephant trunk lol you are funny I love your sence of humour I agree with you about the clinging some pipe are heavier than others I hold mine in my hand and to the right side of my mouth also thanks for the pipe lesson as always great video my friend happy smoking :)

Thank you so much! Very wise advice.

This is a great video! Wit and wisdom.

Muttnchop. I have been intending to write to you for awhile. I am 65 years old abd retired from the federal prison sysyem. I have been watching your videos from the beginning. I really enjoy them although I can no longer smoke a pipe. This sounds strange maybe but I have developed some lung and diaphram issues that really restrict the amount of air I can inhale. I guess I just feel compelled to say that I really enjoy your company even if it's just on utube. I enjoy vicariously sampling the smells and tastes of the different tobaccos. I enjoy your lessons and teaching style. I like to think that we could be good friends. I miss you posting new videos but I respect your reasons for laying off. I hope your mother is doing okay. Best wishes. RC

I want to thank u for ur content.. I'm new to pipe smoking & ur videos have been really helpful..u came highly recommended by others in my pipe smoking/cigar smoking group!

Kinda ironic I considered smoking while cutting the grass. Kinda enjoyable. I appreciate the humor though haha
