…your comments about the trolls and your cough, just remember as my OldDad used to say "…it's not the cough that carries you off… …but the coffin they carry you off in!" Keep up the good work PipeMaster! :)

new pipe smoker here. I have always had to relight my pipe about half way through every time and I never could figure out why. I always guessed I just need more time to master the art of packing correctly. but thanks to this video I have just finished my first pipe without the need to relight. thank you so much, this has really increased my enjoyment of the pipe.

I am a newbie to enjoying the pipe. I never knew there's actually so much art and science behind smoking the pipe. It has taught me to appreciate the small and finer things in life, slow my pace down, think and contemplate about stuff we sometimes tend to oversee due to the stresses of life. Thank you for not just being an online mentor, but above all, an artiste who shares without being overwhelming or bearing, but always with respect and sound collective advise. Brilliant job Muttnchop Piper! Take those daily manuka honey one teaspoon once a day to prolong our good health so that we may continue to enjoy our pipes and those wonderful tabaccos. Keep well!

Even after 5yrs, these videos are such a trove of great information. Thanks Muttn’!

I've been smoking a pipe for years, and I still learn things when I watch your videos. Keep 'em coming!

Ive been smoking pipes since 1977 and I always learn something when I watch one of your videos. Cheers!

Some of my best memories as a child is smelling piping hot coffee and my uncle's pipe tobacco at the kitchen table.

Your videos are greatly appreciated by those of us looking for the proper pipe smoking technique. Keep up the good work!

The detail in your "lessons", if you like, is incredible. Cheers.

There will always be naysayers. Ignore them. They are just white noise. Your videos have helped me and many others enjoy the hobby of pipe smoking. Thank you so very much!

I am learning quite a bit by watching your videos. I had the problem exactly as you described today due to over tamping. Off to try again. I appreciate how it seems you truly desire to help the newbies when it comes to pipes. I am benefiting a lot - thank you

Just picked up the hobby again after a 7 year hiatus or so. Started in 1997-1998 or so. I learn so much from your videos. All I had to learn from in 1998 was internet groups with no videos. We are spoiled with an online video community now. Thank you for your good work.

I started pipe smoking about a month ago, and probably would have given it up if not for your channel. Between this video, the breath technique video, and your various tips around not scorching the tobacco when you light it and making sure the tobacco has a proper moisture level (among so many others), I *finally* just now smoked an entire bowl and was able to appreciate the actual FLAVOR of the tobacco with no tongue bite. This is a far cry from my first attempts with my tongue ending up like shoe leather, and most of the attempts after that ending with varying degrees of success (or, more often, varying degrees of failure). Thanks to your videos, my technique has been improving, and I think I'm finally getting the hang of everything. It's pretty cool to experience the progression. Just wanted to say thanks, and hope I run into you some day so I can shake your hand. Take care, and keep the videos coming! :)

You're the best explaining these things. My learning to smoke a pipe has been so smooth thanks to your videos

Dear Muttnchop - Thank you so so much for all the hard work you've done in putting out your videos. Us newbies greatly appreciate your efforts! Take care and be safe in these crazy times!

By far the most informational pipe channel on KZfaq. Thanks a lot sir!

I watched a couple of your videos and I already see a difference in my smoking experience which is much better now. Thank you.

Hey Muttnchop, Thanks for putting out these video's for years. I started pipe smoking 10+ years ago and put it down after getting frustrated and personal reasons (started a family). I have not picked the hobby back up and you have been so helpful for me to enjoy the pipe.

Thank you for teaching the way you do. I've learned so much from your videos. I've been watching before I went and bought my first pipe. I did not know about the breathing method and I would've started off wrong from the get go. Now I'm practising packing the bowl and although I did not force the tabaco down, I did find the ash in the way. Thanks to your videos I can practise with greater success. Happy pipe smoking..

Thank you! I'm a new pipe smoker, it is a basic concept, but at the end is a master class. As usual :)

Thanks for all the great videos in the great help that you are

I wish I've watched this video before this last weekend lol, I packed pretty tight to the point that I ended up clogging the pipe lol!! It was my first bowl using a brand new briar pipe. I tried to smoke pipe before and bought a cob pipe in case I didn't like it. Because it was such a bad experience, I gave up the idea of smoking pipe. This time, I spent a little more money and bought a decent briar pipe. It was my first bowl, in a first pipe " technically". It was a much better experience. Your videos are very helpful for the new pipe smokers. I appreciate your effort. Cheers!!

Thank you for doing this video and many others. I have been struggling with tamping and especially the ash. The ash tamp alone has really improved my smoking experience. It stays lit so much longer if not the whole bowl. Keep up the great work.

Thank you for making the video in spite of being a bit down. That was informative.... one more step to a fine smoking experience .

I've started pipe smoking couple weeks ago, and thanks to you and your great videos I'm able to really enjoy it.

Great lesson. I'd heard a lot of the technique before in other videos, but this is the first time the why of it all was explained. Thanks.

Wow thank you, this is a super perfect demonstration. I have not yet started pipe smoking but getting very close, been researching a lot. This will be a massive help.

Just mastered tamping a few days ago from watching this and I only smoked a pipe a couple of times before. I always come to your channel to learn more about pipe smoking. Thanks for the informative videos.

Always fun to rewatch you tutorials. Always reminds me of something that I may have gotten lazy with. 👍🏻

You have great content and easy to follow! I lit my first bowl last night. Thank you for your help in learning this enjoyable pass time.

Excellent video it was so informative there is so much misconception about how to pack a pipe and how to use a tamp I am very glad that you are making these videos they are very beneficial to the pipe community

Exellent video, after years of not being able to smoke the bottom is now clear... Many thanks !

I just started smoking a pipe again after 20 years, and I really appreciate your videos thanks for taking the time to make them. Happy New Year to you and yours.

Man I wish I had seen this video 2 years ago, thank you kind sir, for sharing your knowledge.

I just discovered your videos yesterday and have been watching them since then. Thanks so much for all those very well made videos and explanation. I started smoking pipe 10 years ago when I was 19. I just moved and found all my pipes and stuff and I'm getting back to it with the help of your videos. By the way: mushroom ;)

I'm new to pipes only about 6 months in and I was one of those guys, I jammed my tobacco down and I was constantly relighting. This video has helped me tremendously, thank you!

Chris, get better my friend! It is that time of year again. Great video. We're always learning new things from you.

Another great video MCP. Another reason why this is my favorite piping channel.

Just got into pipe smoking and bought a big ben college starter kit with the straight shank. My first tobaccos i bought were the captain black regular, and the sutliff taste for summer. I was hunting about for a quality channel for pipe smoking and thank the Lord I came across you channel! Just subscribed! You make the journey into pipe smoking comfortable!

i watched every single videos of yours... i am not new pipe smoker but i can confirm to everybody that you are the best teacher of pipe smoking.. greetings from a fan of you in Greece!

I started and filled my first smoke today Muttnchop, thanks for your tips. I need to revisit these again now that I have the pipe and tobacco. Thanks again.

This video was spot on. I enjoyed the analogies. Thank you for sharing.

Brilliantly explained sir

New pipe smoker here. I appreciate the heck out of this video. Thank you sir.

This breakdown was so helpful!

Great explanation and advise. Thank you.

You are a pipe smoker explains how much of an amazing person you are

LOVE your vids, Mutton! You're like the Bob Ross of piping. God bless you man.

you reallyy teach well.thanx for the (let me say) lessons. I am a beginner (about 2-3 weeks) and I learn a lot from you.Please keep on the lessons.Thanx again

Thank you for another very informative video!

I just learned something useful, I always over tamp. Just restarted pipes 9 months ago after 35 plus years break, never to old to learn.

just started smoking pipe back in 2018 with all of those issues... uncountable relighting, painful tongue, gurgling, etc... and now, what can i say? Finally, i found the true pleasure of pipe smoking as i never exprience those issues anymore cz all of your video guidance. Keep your amazing work sir...salute...

Very helpful advice! Thanks!

Your videos have helped me A LOT. I didn't get what the appeal of pipes were, until your videos. You really taught me to slow down, and really enjoy it. With a nice bowl now, I can sit and relax with one light for almost 2 hours now. your breathing method was SO relaxing... Also, I know this might sound weird, I help my grandmother with her farm, and we grow our own cukes, garlic, and dill. Home-made pickle juice I find is THE PERFECT compliment to a more calm tasting tobacco for me, I find it really evens it out and leaves you itching for that next little taste of tobacco. Just a few of my thoughts. Thanks for your time and video's.

Best explanation of tamping dynamics !

Excellent, excellent vid Chris. Congrats. I liked it very, very much. Thanks a lot buddy.

Thank you for the tips. I'm new to pipe smoking and this is just what I was looking for.

Here in central NY it went from negative degrees last week, was 60 out two days ago. Now there is about a foot of snow out here... Great informative video!

I wish you a quick recovery!

Thank you for all that information sir.

Absolutely awesome .

I followed your advice and got through a pipe with 2 lights. I used the nose technique as close as I could. On my second try, I did not have as much luck. I could not take a break without it going out.

Thank you your explanation made me a bit more experienced pipe smoker.

Amazing clear.I subscribe every Hilman´s word,also the year,strange syncronocity.Many thanks from Spain.

As always great info .. I just started smoking pipe and I love it , normal smoke cigars .Your channel is very helpful. Thanks Dalt

Hi, I just want to say thank you for all the information you share. I've not long started smoking a pipe and have just treated myself to a Savinelli pianoforte rustic 302

Great instrucion . It solves my problem !!

Thanks for your Videos Muttonschop they are really informative. I now realise that pipe smoking is akin to wine tasting, drawing the flavour out of the tobacco. A real epiphany for me. Pipesmoking is a forgotten art in Aust

Good instructions. I covered this in one of my videos about a year ago because I was seeing the same thing.

Another good video as always. I'm preparing for a slow smoke competition and am taking pointers wherever I can find them!

And congratulations on 3,000 subscribers!

I'm loving the background riddles.

Is this thing works ? Ok. Let me see. I came here last month to start the smoke my pipe. Man you have such a knowledge about everything that i’ve needed. So thanks to you i built my own way to do it. Here is the thing you don’t say just do it, you say in this video for example “fire needs three things ignition source ,oxygen and fuel etc.” so what i saying is you’re always digging the situation to find the proper solution. Thanks a lot. Love from Turkey!

New piper here. Thanks so much for these vids, especially this one. Changed my experience already. Keep it up!

Thanks for a great informative video. Lots of good information here.

Great video, I really enjoy all your videos. Hope you get rid of that cold. I am loving this cooler weather though. Take care - Clayton

Great tip! Exactly what I needed to see 👍🏼

I was firstly stuffing way, way to much tobacco in my pipe....not loose enough allowing air arround the Tobacco. Then to compound that I thought stamping harder would help light it because it wasn't burning. LOL...I had a brick of tobacco in my pipe. After a few times I figured it out on packing the pipe. I'm a little slow there I guess....took me longer to not tamp so darn hard. Good video !!!

Extremely helpful. Thanks!

Thank you Muttnchop for sharing your knowledge. Really enjoying your videos. Take care...

I noticed you have a riddle framed on the top of your shelf and it is different with each video. I am actually pondering this riddle while "sipping" on my pipe. Great content as always - all your videos have been really helpful.

Love your videos I've been watching for a good bit now keep up the good work 👌

Great Video! very educational! Regards from Argentina.

Thank you for sharing your valuable knowledge. :-)

New piper here, thank you for this video. I have a lot to learn.

Thankyou for the lessons.

Very open and honest...quite humble. First draw for me. Nice analogy to get the picture. Great presentation maestro!

Another very enjoyable video, thanks

Great video thanks brother!🙏🙏🙏

Very helpful, thanks!

Thank you! The video make me learn new things.

Completely agree! Always had seen people tamping very hard ....and indeed with the result of no oxigen at the bottom of the bolw....so always tamp-lightly as you just explained very detailed! Well said! Smoke in Peace

Nicely done. Enjoyed the video. Have to admit I am enjoying the cooler temps. Hope you beat that cold soon. Tight lines

i like your previous Savinelli 320 and I have ordered two of them I am glad to get them and enjoy my pipe smoking

Thanks. Very helpful.
