Hi brother I hope you’re doing well I have a question We all know there are many blends that either cased or topped with alcoholic beverages, My question is: 1- does all the alcohol evaporates during the smoking process 2- in other words does the alcohol enters our system when we smoke these blends

really enjoyed this one. but then all your videos are excellent

I always loved your sense of humour.... Mark war bzw. ist ein hervorragender Dozent..

Thanks for the review! Btw, we are releasing a LE run of Royal Twist this October and we are currently working on a brand new Mac Baren Pipe tobacco line for 2025. Even though we were purchased by STG, we are full steam ahead. Cheers, Denton

Great video Mark!! Such a beautiful farm. Being from a rural area of the States I love to see the rural areas of Germany. Reminds me of where I live. Hans seems like a great guy. I really enjoyed the interview.

Glad to see you back. The lounge looks great. You all did a great job on transforming the lounge.

Every time I see a video from you I think: 1) I need to light a pipe along with the discussion, and 2) I need to get out more. Truly enjoy your videos. Cheers, Alex

Very cool! Always enjoy your videos!

I watched every minute of this interview and farm tour. Absolutely fantastic content, Mark. Loved it!

Thank you always enjoy your videos. I would like to support your host if they ship to USA but unable to find them online. If you provide a link it would be much appreciated. Thank you again.

That thatched house is beautiful! What a lovely, and and I enjoyed the discussion very much. Thanks Mark and Hans!

What a pleasure, your trip and interview. Thank you for taking us along! Beautiful countryside, excellent friends, fine smokes, cuisine, & libations - soul therapy, indeed. Cheers!

Hey Mark my good friend! Good to see another great video! ...and to see you haven't given it up yet, lol? What a beautiful place Hans has there...and beautiful countryside! Mac Baren is my favorite baccy manufacturer...they make all my favorites. Harmony, or Symphony, is a great tobacco, did a video about that many years ago...I think so! Really enjoyed this video and your discussion, very interesting. Take care my friend....and thanks for taking the time to do this! We're gonna talk soon! Corey

Thanks for that Mark. A very enjoyable video with interesting discussion.

Wow, beautiful property and amazing hosts. Fortunate to have this experience

Hi Mark, Nice video, I enjoyed it. Wherever there is a "Hofladen", I must stop and go shopping. I like them. Handelsgold... Yeah... Terrible😂. But I remember the "Friday Night Meetings" with my friends when we were young. Tropenschatz Fehlfarben, Hansa Pils (which ist called "Schädelpils" in our region), nothing to eat but great music. Fantastic Times😁. See you Andreas

Loved the video! Nice friends, beautiful scenery, farm, and enjoyable conversation! What a way to cap off my afternoon after work and enjoying a bowl with you two! Splendid! I wonder if he ships overseas? Anyway… thanks for the ride along…from California!

You've made my day Mark! Always look forward to a video from the pipe smoking son of Bremen. Only three minutes in and everything I enjoy about your videos! Thanks!

En bonne compagnie on ne s'ennuie pas! Thank you so much Mark and Hans for this wonderful video.

Wow wow wow

Which route did you choose to drive to our farm? A lot and beautiful countryside! At minute 9:00 you drive past the St.-Crucis-Church in Hoyerhagen, where I just held the service last Sunday as a volunteer preacher :-)

Mark really enjoyed the adventure to the Farm and it’s family history. So many interesting facets to the farm industry and its many aspects

Mark great video so interesting to see and hear about the farm.

Love that you went on an adventure to the countryside

Hello Mark. Such a great video my friend. That farm is wonderful and I love that old building that his dad hung up the animals in. Such a cool place. Take care.

Wow what a beautiful place!

Great video, Mark! Beautiful farm. Very interesting history.

For whatever its worth, in my humble opinion this is one of the best videos you have done, hands down fascinating from beginning to end and I assume "golden retriever" means a very light burley/virginia? Anyway loved the segment in the old house with the stuffed foxes, did you notice the brass miner's lamp over your left shoulder in that segment? I still sell the modern version of that lamp in my store, of course these days it is mainly used by boaters, sail boaters in particular probably because it is a space saver and still a very reliable oil lamp.

Really enjoyed this. Probably watch it a second time

WOW this was an excellent video, thanks so much for sharing.

Thank you for doing this! It's just wonderful.

Best vid ever. Thank you and your host

I really enjoyed this, Mark. Thank you.

Great video watched the entire thing in one shot. Thanks for sharing!

Must say absolutely beautiful homestead

Lived in nord Germany 1985-1990. Wonderful to see countryside again. Love the people. What a wonderful host. Thanks for sharing

Simply amazing Brother.

That Flor de Cana 18 is sublime!

Ah that's lovely Mark. I haven't had a smoke with another human being in more than two years I'd say. Always look forward to your content mate.

Mark, this is probably the best video or should I say talkshow that you have done. Your host was most gracious. I see why you like him. My best to the both of you and thanks again.🍺🍺

So nice to see you back doing Videos!! Gorgeous Setting with A Great Cigar Collection & Liquor!! Beautiful Farm!! Since 1350 That's a lot of years old.... Wow!! Country Roads were great No Cows, sheep, goats, or horses, other animals, running across the roads?? as you are traveling very fast. Yes, sell the corn to feed those 600 Cattle. Excellent Family History. Thanks for sharing..........Jose from Texas

Delightful to spend an hour in the company of your good self and Hans. What a delightful gentleman. It was most interesting to hear about his farm and family history. I trust the evening went well.

Hi Mark thanks for a brilliant video i wonder what your thoughts are on macbaren being taken over by stg group

Really, really enjoyed this one, Mark. Han’s is a real gentleman and I very much enjoyed hearing about his family, farm, business and love of tobacco. Vielen Dank!

That was a fascinating journey, thanks for letting us tag along Mark!

Awesome video, and a beautiful farm. I have German family on my dad's side, so always love the history. Wondering if they sell their goods online...?

Wow! Mark I wish I had friends like this that’s quite the setup!! 🍻

Mark. I always enjoy your content very much! You really have a unique and wonderful channel! All the best to you from all the way across the Atlantic in Canada!

Hola Mark, this was a great video. I like it so much. Some remembers coming up about my youth and my family in Franken. My family for part of my mother were farmers to for generations. Her oldest farmhouse was from 1700. But in the 2000 they must give up all the land because isn't was rentable. The same story of many old families in our country. My really first smoke was a Handelsgold too. A cigar from my grandfather😊. It was terrible for me when I was 12 years old 😅. The most sad actual information which reached us now is the change of Mac Baren to the Scandinavian Group. We shall see what will happen with the good tobaccos which we love since decades! Best wishes from the 🌞🏝. Michael

A bowlful of sweet tobacco, a well aged cigar with friendship, hospitality, history, nothern country landscape, thank you sir and your friend the host too!
