The cigar looks good on you.

How was your day?

Having an unplanned day is the best. Doing things because you want to, instead of because you "have to" is a freeing feeling. Even if the "thing" itself is the same, like mowing the lawn.

Great video and good information

I smoke them for the guaranteed peace of mind I’ll be allowed for the time spent. That forced break in the day focusing on just the cigar. Excellent video.

Got them cicadas whirling like we do here in Western Kentucky! Peace and happy piping brother!

Beautiful view you have out that back porch. I hear the cicadas singin'! Farming is never easy but it sure is calming and I like the trade off, granted I haven't had a day off in over 15 years and I fantasize about that vacation regularly. My daddy always says "We work in acres...not hours" and sometimes I need to work at night to catch up; but It's nice to sit, and count your blessings once in a while and remind yourself what all the hard work is for when you need to. There's no shame in taking a break if you are checking the boxes. Happy Smokes brother.

Enjoyed the video. Not much new stuff for me however. I began smoking a pipe 47-years ago this month in May, 1977, so that was prob. before some y'alls daddy's and mama's were born !!!

How many bowls a day

70 hours week is far too much to work... glad you are getting rest.

También yo fumo puros

Saludos amigo, tambien yo fumo tabaco

I like both cigars and pipe as well!!! In fact, as a Lord of the Rings fan, I call pipe tobacco pipe-weed!!!! I also heard this quote: “There’s always a chance… as long as one can think.”

Charles, 9 pm on Friday, 26th here in the UK ! Good to hear your thoughts on pipe tobacco storage. A useful tip for tobacco which is dry is to add a piece or two of apple or even potato peel and leave them to work their magic for a few days in making the tobacco moist without affecting taste/flavour. Enjoy the fishing - hope that great weather continues. James

How are you doing?

1. GL Pease Chelsea Morning 2.Balkan Sasieni 3.C&D Engine 382 4. Two Friends English Chocolate 5. Warped Until the End Blends I still enjoy but no longer in production: 1. McClelland Balkan Blue 2. McClelland Frog Morton’s Cellar 3. Dunhill BB 1938 4. Samuel Gawith Cabbies Mixture 5. Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky The one blend I could smoke morning, noon & night- C&D Engine 382 . It’s a blend that has deer tongue in it.I don’t think it is all that popular but it ticks all the boxes for me anyway. Everyone’s tastes are unique and there are hundreds of blends out there to explore and enjoy.

I don't know but I wouldn't smoke around that hay that just me just saying

Ahhh I’m a lifelong learner and I believe in its importance! Good stuff my friend 👊🏻

Good stuff brother! New sub here 👊🏻

Damn that’s good advice.

Totally agree, man! I'm always learning new things, taking on new passions. I'm at the library a few times a week.

Nice mustache!

Learning is what you make it. I have an effective 8th grade education, yet I've worked as an engineer on state of the art robotics, at a National Laboratory on Accelerator Physics, and have run my own business for years. Just keep trying to grow.

Northwoods is a great blend. Very good video. Learning should never stop

My dad always said learn everything you can get your hands on because you never know when you'll need it, have a good day.

Hi Chatlie I smoke 6 to 10 bowls a day remember me I love that delicious grey ember and keeping it lit constantly Yeah im an all day puffer rarely out of my mouth forever Alex Mirzoeff Royersford Pa

My two favorite tobaccos are esoterica Margate out standing smooth medium plus smoke. Bengal slices is a different experience a medium English/Balkan with a licorice top note fantastic. I also enjoy plum pudding regular and special reserve . Great content Charlie

My first car when I turned 16 in 1978 was my grandfather's hand me down 1970 Buick Electra. It was a land yacht for sure and I loved that car. I drove it through high school and college. Coming home from college one weekend a drunk driver in a Chevrolet suburban crossed the center line and hit me head on. Both vehicles were totaled but I wasn't. Because of the size and quality of the Electra along with the fact that I was that rare kid back then that buckled up both the lap and separate shoulder belts, I walked away with only minor cuts and scratches and bruises from the belts. When I started driving,I got in the good habit of wearing the belts before it was the law or "cool" to do so. I would get in the car, turn the ignition, push in the cigarette lighter, buckle up both the lap and shoulder belts, light up a cigarette ( bad habit ) and drive off. Both habits continue to this day. Seat belts have saved me a couple of times but the jury is still out on the smoking but it's a habit I don't over indulge in and truly enjoy and savor. Never could get the same pleasure from a pipe or a cigar. Maybe I didn't find the right one. Really enjoy your channel.

There is only one kind of smoking I do in a hay shed

Next video at the local gas station...

Just joined. Thanks.

You said that's your favorite cob. Which one is it? I like the looks of it. Plastic stem or is it acrylic?

Is it a good idea to smoke around all that hay?

Always enjoy seeing your videos, man! Smoking some McClelland Samovar here!

LMAO but Great Video! I think you tackled this challenging subject very well! However, It might have been easier to talk about the few occasions when you don't smoke your pipe (just kidding). As with all things tobacco pipe-related, every smoking has his own preferences. Happy IPSD my brother of the Briar.

Just found your channel. Subscribed. Glad I did. Love content on being a better man, cigar, and pipe smoking. Checks all the boxes for me. Thanks for a great video and please keep up the great work!

Great to see a new video from you mate. Very enjoyable.

Happy International pipe smoking day.

Happy IPSD, Charlie! I've been a pipe guy for 50 years, so it's basic nature to smoke quite a few bowls a day. I hope you enjoy every bit of our special day, brother! 😊👍

Happy IPSD to you and your family! How many pipes you soke a day depends on a number of factors, such as location, work requirements, people who might/might not be tolerant, and the like. I smoke anything from 0 to 4 a day, two being most common.

I'm 25 and recently got really into cigars! My dad doesn't smoke but he's always told me stories when he was growing up his grandfather from Italy would smoke upstairs in the office and give my dad the bands off of the cigars too play with and put on his fingers lol. He has fond memories of his grandfather and his cigars. He told me they all think he smokes about $100k worth of cigars throughout his life and that was back then! My dads always asking what new ones I've been trying and got me my first humidor last month on my birthday. He now enjoys one with me once in awhile

Don't toast close foot cigars next time just light up and pull and taste the actual wapper of the cigar

Its a spiritual thing 4 me. Also, the community helps you build confidence. Last but not least.. it's a piece/PEACE of time.... it helps me focus and enjoy life

Before it became popular are you kidding cigars have been popular since the beginning of time.

A manly man knows his limitations, and then tries to improve upon them.

Great choice
