I have been smoking a pipe for 5yrs. Between you guys & Muttonchop Piper I have learned many fascinating tips not just pipe smoking & tobacco reviews but the community aspect of this fabulous hobby. Thank you all for being there!

Gentlemen thank you. I am not in your stated demographic... 66 started smoking a pipe in 1975. I enjoy all three of you. Thanks again.

Great video gents! Thank you! I agree with the comment that YTPC is a virtual pipe club. The many great pipe channels act as my virtual pipe club. I enjoy watching pipe videos whilst smoking on the back porch. Keep up the good work!

I know I’m not the only pipe smoker in my town but it feels like it. My pipe community is on the internet. I have thought about hanging out at the Homeland Grocery tobacco counter to see who else buys the Carter Hall pouches beside me.

Here’s a poem by Malcom Guite that any pipe smoker will appreciate: Tolkien is leaning back into an oak Old, gnarled, distinct in bole and burr As, from the burr and bowl of his old pipe, Packed with tightly patterned shreds of leaf, The smoke ascends in rings and wreathes of air To catch the autumn light and meet such leaves As circle through its wreathes and patter down In patterns of their own to the rich ground. He contemplates again the tree of tales; The roots of language and its rings of growth ‘The tongue and tale and teller all coeval’ And he becomes a pattern making patterns, A tale telling tales and turning leaves, From the print of thumb and finger on his pipe To the print and press and pattern of his books And all their prints and imprints in our minds Out to this grainy patterned photograph Of ‘Tolkien, leaning back into an oak’.

So nice to see all of you together! As you mentioned, many of us are solitary in our pipe smoking and your channels give us a way to enjoy this hobby together. please continue to produce content that encourages and broadens our horizons. Looking forward to seeing and smoking another bowl together. God Bless!

Good stuff guys . Thank for bringing up matches and mutton they are the salt of the earth as you are .

Thank you all so much for coming! We were very honored by your presence.

It was so good to spend time with the two of you this weekend! I hope we can do it again sometime soon.

Spot on Wilson! A community driven by more than just what you smoke and what you smoke it in!

Watched on my tv while sipping some whiskey. Now going outside in -10°f to smoke my tobacco pipe. Thanks for the great show Cheers 🍻

I've always enjoyed Eddie's presentations...And excellent pipes...

Hi, I'm from Ireland and just took up the pipe smoking hobby again after a long hiatus after my recent retirement, I'm 57. I began smoking the pipe when I lived in Germany in 1991. I returned to Ireland and put away my pipe paraphernalia on a high shelf in my garage. Meanwhile I got married and got on with life. So when I recently decided to get into pipe smoking again, (thanks to your videos to some extent) I realized that I had several ounces of various tobacco, mostly aromatics, which were now well over twenty years old. So I began smoking these and have to report that they taste really good to me. Thank you for your content and keep doing what you're doing Alan.

Very cool great to see you guys all of you God bless

This was wonderful! Thankful for each of your channels and contributions.

What a wonderful event for the pipe community. The fellowship looks wonderful. Great idea to capture this and upload to share with YTPC. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

I really wish that I could have attended! However, I get the feeling that the future holds more opportunities for fellowship amongst our wonderful tribe!

Thank you for sharing a conversation between three fine gentlemen. God bless.

I used to only smoke a pipe two or three times a year at most, until I am connected with YTPC. It’s had a major impact on me being a regular pipe hobbyist. I am new to the community by only five months.

Thanks for including the housekeeping!!!

Nice to see all three of you guys. Well done 👍🏾

Awesome 👌 👏 nice to see you gentlemen together ❤️ 😀 Greetings from south africa 👍 🍻 🇿🇦

Thank you three for your comments and contributions! All interesting and appreciated. Please keep it up. I believe that the YTPC is very important to dispel falsehoods about pipe smoking and encouraging pipe smokers of whatever experience. It is referred to as a hobby, but I simply think of pipe smoking as part of my everyday experience and pleasure. (I'm old enough to remember when it was common). If I were to encourage some approach for the future it would be to keep doing what we are doing as regards on-line content, but also to take pipe smoking out into the community, the mountains, the seashore or wherever. It's time to venture out of the cellar, the garage or barn. Sure, we are bound to get questions and negative comments in today's society. But people will see us enjoying pipes and slowly question the received orthodoxy and propaganda. I bet they'll enjoy the odor too!

Just an idea guys that has helped me connect with other pipe smokers, and of course I have a bit of an advantage in connecting up with great fellow pipe smokers because I have a brick and mortar location. but one of my great joys every month is on the 4th Saturday we have a local pipe club that meets just to get together, smoke a pipe or two and connect with others in the hobby. Even if it is a small group of 4 or 5 folks it does a lot to promote the hobby. We have informal events such as an annual slow smoke contest. (One of the wags in the club has also suggested a "fast smoke" event but I recommended that event could cause a lot of over heated tongues and burned out bowls). Anyway an informal gathering on a regular date is a great way to promote the hobby which, having been a promoter of said hobby for over 40 years, is dear to my heart. Keep puffin.

Well done, gentlemen! The pipe community has come a long way from just reading Pipes & Tobacco Magazines in the late 90’s. Enjoy your time together - it is important.

I've been waiting and hoping for a video from you and your visit to the Country Squire in Jackson Mississippi! Great video as always and thoroughly enjoyed. I guess you could call me a old codger at 62, but I enjoy watching all three of you young men on KZfaq. Keep the video's coming fella's! What a GREAT community of pipe smoking folks.

Wow! I’m subbed to all three… great surprise!

Thank you for doing this podcast and bringing the Country Squire into my home. Up until now, I was not aware of the Pipe Nook and will definitely check it out. I have been following both your channel and The Spurgeon Piper for a year now and have enjoyed the shows. As always, keep up the good work.

I miss living there in Clinton hate that I wasn’t able to make the trip. Looking forward to Muletown 😊

Awesome! Wish I could have made it.

Excellent vid guys. Thanks a lot. Have a great week.

Thank You !!!

You 3 are all amazing people I wish there was something closer that I could attend and possibly meet you guys but I'm up in Northern Washington and there isn't even a pipe shop within 80 miles of me so I am always very eager and excited when any of you post a video. And just to help level out those numbers I'm 42 and just picked the pipe back up in December.

Thank you gentlemen for your contribution to the hobby and to the Country Squire for a great run !

Sounds like you boys had a high time! God bless you. I think the path that a lot of you are taking with your pipe-oriented channels is a good one. The pipesmoking aspect of your video output serves as a tremendous springboard into contemplation, philosophical discussions, and general lifestyle topics. There are only so many how-tos and top 10s that you can make before an online hobby community is burnt out… It’s the daily life reflections and discussions that keep a community such as this alive.

It is good to see a tradition of well made pipe channels continuing here on youtube. A lot of the old pipe channels from 2008-2010s are gone....Pipelawyer, Joffre the Giant, PipefriendCHS...I even delated all of my pipe related content. I was told when I moved back to the US that if I had pipe related content I could be sued by parents for promoting tobacco to minors. (I am a teacher.) I had a lot of reviews of tobaccos that were not available in the US back in 2008-2010. I have all of the videos archived, but am afraid to post any of them. Keep making great content, fellas. Tokyopuffer/Greywolf

What a great discussion with three of the first people I found on youtube on my new pipe journey.

Great Chat! Thank you gentleman.

Alan, it was my great pleasure to meet and spend time with you and Patrick at the Briary! I would love to make the trip to the Squire one day. All the best, my friend! Hopefully, Southernpiper and I will be able to get our channel up and running before too long! Would love to keep in touch. Patrick, I hope you enjoyed the Marlin Flake! All the best, gentlemen. -Cory Wilson (Birmingham, AL)

Good to see the three of you together, thanks to all for the content and community you provide.

Thanks Alan, Wilson and Eddie for taking the time to make this video. Greatly appreciated. Grace & Peace.

Excellent interview with three staples of this community. I appreciate what each of you bring to the table!

Love it!

It's really good to see you three together. I am grateful for the content you all three put out. Thank you!

Pipe and Cigar smoker here, good to see your page brothers.

WOW, it was nice to see three of my favorite presenters able to get together. Ed

Legends💪👊👍

Great too see all three of you ! Eddie and Wilson have been instrumental in the beginning of my pipe smoking several years ago ! Thank you 🙏

It's good to see the three of you together!

Awesome, awesome, just plain awesome video. Thank you gentlemen. Thank you for all your content and for all your inspirations. This is a great community. It was a pleasure and true enjoyment to listen all three of you. Thank you.

Just joined the pipe hobby at 32. Never smoked before but I’m loving it. My own country treats tobacco like cocaine! It’s very difficult to talk to people to learn about the hobby. Lots of specialist shops have disappeared so I’m super greatful for these videos

So glad to watch you three gentlemen together! Enjoy all your videos!

Great conversation, guys! It was good to see all three of you together.

It was an excellent event, and so memorable! Great meeting some of you!

New pipe smoker here! Luv the channel and the community you are building.

Nice to see you guys together and hear your thoughts. I subscribe to each of you. Wholeheartedly agree-YTPC is an indispensable community.

Greetings and Blessings to all three of you! 💯

I am mid 30's, i don't like or use any social media and I smoke in a country with 1 pipe store that, which is being threatened. It is incredibly rough/sad. You hit the nail on the head, i feel like the only pipe smoker in the world :( I love my solitude and private time for thought and introspection with a warm bowl in my hand... however I would like not to feel so alone :(

Great chat. Thanks for sharing this!

I enjoy all 3 of your content and I've bought a few pipes from Eddie and will do again.

I have been smoking cigars for about a year. I absolutely love sitting on my porch and enjoying a good smoke. I had never considered smoking a pipe until my grandmother asked me if I also smoked pipes, because my grandfather smoked pipes and she would like to give me his old pipes. So I have been decided to give it a try. I’ve been soaking up all the pipe content I can find and I have some tobacco on the way as we speak, including the blend my grandfather always smoked ( Borkum Riff original) looking forward to lighting my first pipe. Thank you gentlemen for the guidance I’ve gotten on my new journey.

If I had not had to study I would have been there.😢

I live in Jackson MS. Wish I could have been there!

3 of my favorite pie presenters.

Nostalgic.

Great to see you guys together!

Great video! Thanks for getting together to share your thoughts. I wish I could leave three likes, one for each of you!

Great video and you have introduced me to a couple new pipers to follow. Thank you!

Yall are having too much fun I wanna to do just that hope the good lord will let me meet all of yall. could meet in NE Ga God bless all of you Keep on Smoking from the peach state

Saw you guys up there at the 500th episode, but never got the chance to introduce myself and say hello. Glad you guys were able to make it though.

love the familiar faces! eddie actually won a contest i held a long time ago sent him a ton of tobacco...cheers!!!

Great Video Men!!!!

What an unexpected surprise!!

Around the 17min mark the gentleman speak of their audience and their ages. By that knowledge and the assumption that the majority of the viewers are male coupled with the sort of character and worldviews these men hold (atleast from what I can assess), its clear to me that younger men may be seeking after something more than just tobacco content.. Now we can of course get off in the weeds of the why (my guess is the lack of masculine, faithful, interesting, and capable fathers in the homes) but it was just a interesting thought that came to me as I listened and figured I’d share (you know sharing is caring and all that :) ) either way thank you for the content!

Always a pleasure boys.

Thank you gentlemen!!

Great video fellas. Would love to take a trip to Mississippi. Let the wife do a bit of shopping while I spent a few hours at The Country Squire. Seems like a lovely vacation for a few days from Southern Ohio... 🔥💨💨💨

Nice discussion. Back in 1977 at the local drugstore I saw a set of white bowl pipes that had the Olympic rings on it. They were made as a momento of the 1976 Olympics. They looked nice. I can't find any pictures of them on the internet. I would appreciate any information on (Olympic smoking pipes).

To start, thank you for your time and sharing of our passion for the leaf, it's the binder that keeps us engaged with each other, others may not understand, that's ok, this content invites you to share our thoughts, are passions, are likes and dislikes, we need more brick and mortar places to gather for all of us to get together and enjoy the fellowship of each other. Keep the content alive!

Actually called trying to find out when they will be releasing "fine then" ... wonderful blend! You always wonder when you meet the people you watch if they are the same in person. I can definitively say that you three were wonderful to meet and get to know and I would have loved to stay longer and visit. Alan, only a friend is willing to part with the "good bourbon" and I thank you for the bourbon sir!

What a great trio of pipe smokers.

Though maybe you would do something on your trip. Good to see Wilson with you. I haven't seen Eddie before. Be careful.

Good men!

Please consider showing us how you clean your pipes? Thanks, Dave

Just a book I think you would enjoy ‘the tent dwellers’

Sounds like a great event and a great meet up

Hello from Korea (:

👍

George Bruno introduced me to both Eddie (from whom I purchase all my pipes and supplies) and Alan (from whom I receive great life coaching and contemplation). Great to see you guys together!

I’d love to hear Spurgeon Piper integrate his faith into the pipe conversation more. As a church pastor, he holds an interesting combination of perspectives and I feel like there could be a valuable perspective if they overlapped in his content more.

As a touch of irony. I live in Alberta Canada 🇨🇦, its currently-°8f and the tobacco i was smoking last night is called "Mr B's Canadian Winter" 🤣 It was not planned just happened that way

A legendary lineup.

This is like the avengers of pipe smoking

I would prefer to call pipe smoking a lifestyle rather than a hobby.

Anyone else notice the "pipe sit" every pipe smoker does? Or is it just me? Haha even I as a pipe smoker do it from time to time

Thank you, gentlemen for the amazing video. I just stumbled upon your channel and would like to get into the hobby. I have no idea where to start however. I’m based in South Africa 🇿🇦 and I doubt we have these products here. Any help would be appreciated

pipes buffet

Ok I saw a rare 1980 lake placid Olympic smoking pipe on Ebay. But no 76 Olympic smoking pipes

Is there anywhere where I can find an "old school" tobacco shop directory? Every time I try and search for them online I get bombarded by all the vape stores. Thanks!

Who has better aromatics...............Country Squire or Boswells.
