I got a chuckle over the phone book reference lol I certainly remember those big outfits! We still have one, tho it's a lot smaller than they used to be. Very nice medico and boy that churchwarden stem really does something for that pipe 👍

Old phone book, I know exactly the smell! Maybe the step brother blend to Haunted Bookshop? 😂 Also, those prince shapes are quite nice there Jes.

Fun to try all the different blends. The tastes are just all over the place. Happy smokes

Ahhhh Velvet in a medico! Man after my heart. So the toppings are brown sugar and licorice. Now the older iteration at times I would get a boozey taste occasionally but the new STG version is def more brown sugar forward and licorice finish with cocoa undertones and a “musty note” that comes in and out that I just love. There is also a tad cherry you can pick up if smoked slow. My wife loves the roomnote of Velvet. Consistently says it’s the best. The only thing that has rivaled it recently is Cherry smash by Boswell. Keep smoking it in diffeeent pipes to see which one sings with it. Although I must admit velvet tends to shine in smaller bowls most often. 😊

Great video! Yellow pages comment made me laugh. I also had a pouch of velvet I had yet to try. So after watching I went outside and had some. I very much enjoyed. No yellow pages but I got some cocoa, lots of stone fruit, pomegranate/apple. Happy piping and thanks for the inspiration.

Good to see Brian Dennehy again even if it's on a smaller screen. Loved him in Rambo.

I love the “old phone book” 📖 description ❤😂❤… always glad to hear others describe something that is a memory/moment etc. while reviewing Watch City’s “None of your business”… all I could think of was a base essence of Fruit Loops 😅. Cheers and Happy Sipping, Z~

Hello Jesse These long shank , light and small pipes are my favorite pipes. I live in EU and the only US codger blend I’ve tried is Half&Half. Good to see you! Silviu 🤝

First time watching one of your videos. Enjoyed it very much. You have some nice pipes. And, yes, I've has some favorable surprises and some disasters with estate pipes on ebay, but generally OK.

Glad you found you backup. Nice find

It’s a good old codger blend. I’m a Sir Walter Raleigh guy every morning two bowls with black coffee to start the day. I remember I tried all the codger blend in 1978 when I started the pipe lifestyle at 16ish. Sometimes the Codger blends are better than the fancy blends. Nice pipes. Have a great day

Thanks for promoting new channels. I recently got over 100 because of people like yourself.

Beautiful pipes. This is one of my next blends to try. Thanks for sharing.

Ha! Never heard Velvet described as smelling like a phonebook! One of my top 5 tobaccos for sure.

Great 1st impressions of Velvet. Enjoying your videos Jes. Keep em coming!

Morning sir. Well done and thanks for sharing. Brings back memories... that's what I'm going for!

Keep on pipen!

Absolutely gorgeous pipes i wish i could find deals like that i definitely am on the hunt for one of the medicos now too that shape is beautiful

Velvet is my favorite codger blend. It smells like play doh to me. Great video- subscribed.

Thanks for the review! I haven’t tried that one yet.

Good to see you jes! Great chat and smoke! Be Well!

Hello Jessie, it’s my honor to be mentioned on your video. Thank you ;-) thanks for sharing also these beautiful pipes. Wish you a great day ahead.

Great video

Was just having some velvet the other day. I agree, it tastes like having a cup of unsweetened cocoa in an old library haha! Very nice pipes also, you got a stellar deal on’m. Hope they bring years of joy to ya Sir! Ok, take care and continue to get awesome on the daily LOL! 😎

Nice pipes good job with the new stem. I did sorta the same thing. I bought a pouch of half and half at my cigar store. Didn’t think I’d like it but I do. Keep on trying baccy I’ve only had a few I didn’t like 👍

Thank you for the review Jesse☺️. I've been thinking about giving Velvet a try for s very long time. I think it's about I try it out.

These are some cool pipes.

Velvet hmm yummy, not had it for a while but I remember it’s one I enjoy.

Velvet is darn good tobacco. Great first impression. Old phone book and hot chocolate!

Medico! 😍

There’s always one pipe in the collection that’s an all time favourite, it’s like my Hardcastle jockey 102 which I call old faithful and I use it daily for my very first smoke. Two lovely pipes you have there buddy.

Hi Jes, the pipe discoloration on your pipe is in the paint. This is because the head is small and when you light your pipe, combustion takes place at the head. and if I'm very honest this is quite normal, I have the same pipe, only my stem is different. so the only way to get rid of this is to sand the pipe and repaint it or oil it and polish it. I hope this information is useful to you... 

I love the way you combined the stem and bowl to create your own unique Churchwarden. It's a very awesome looking pipe!! Enjoyed viewing your video so much. I keep learning different things from each of you of the "YTPC". Thank you.✝️

Hiyas Jesse, That Medico Prince is a beauty. I have several Prince of Wales pipes and I just love em'. I think that they are sleek and elegant looking. A great find for sure. That Molina looks like it was made to be a Churchwarden. The elongated stem surely transformed its look. It was fun to watch you "digest and sleuth" your way through the flavor profile of Velvet. I'm not a huge fan of it, but it is an interesting occasional smoke. Enjoy yer Sunday and KPO ✓ Gary

Nice church warden and prince pipe, Jesse! I'm a fan of both styles and shapes. I've had a sample of Velvet and enjoyed it. The codger blends can be hit and miss for some folks. Have a great week ahead. 😊

Very nice pipes. The prince might be my favorite shape even though I have yet to get one. My brother and I review tobaccos in a similar way, smoke it for a day or two and see if we can figure out whats in it ourselves before we check

Nice Jes!

Those new pipes look nice. I really like that Medico. If you like the little light pipes, check out the Rossi Piccolo lineup. I have a few of them, and they are nice little smokers.

Yeah, I’ve had some tobaccos that bring back old memories of my grandparents Dial soap they used. 🤣 Any tobacco with Latakia in it tastes that way to me

Jesse, I use an all natural wood oil on my pipes … fixes up my polished briars nicely

When I tried Early Morning Pipe I tasted burning electrical cord. Not a comforting taste or smell! I really wanted to like it because so many people do.

I think that we all had the same reaction after smoking velvet for the first time. It is not an everyday smoke for me, but I will buy some from time to time.

I use one of those 4 sided sponge like finger nail file for things , it has 4 different grits which are not harsh at all

Good Morning 😊 Nice Pipes Mate 😍 I heard good things about Velvet 😉 Now thats a Beautiful Churchwarden 👏🏼👏🏼 How a stem can change a pipe 👍🏼 Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the blend 💯 Have a great Sunday and Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦

If you want a nice church warden lol at Rattray's we have a couple and they smoke great.

You’ll not go wrong with velvet Jes Nice codger blend As usual we can’t get it

Oh wow, memories! The yellow pages. Way to remind me how old I am getting 😂. Where did you find the Medico pipes?

Where on earth did you find a Medico Debonair- in great condition!- for $12.50 !!!???

😂

Varnish makes them nice & shiny, looks pretty but not the best finish for pipes.

Looks like the pipe has a varnished exterior, not much you can do to save that. They tend to fade and the varnish can bubble or crack. Those pipes were made by the millions. That's why the guys back then would just smoke the heck out of them, toss it in a drawer, then go to the pharmacy and buy a new one for a few dollars.
