A visit to “The Briary”

Come with me to the pipe store!

What a treasure--those of us who enjoy the hobby wish that old style shops such as The Briary could be found more widely.

[@EJL2004]

Absolutely! Completely disappeared it seems. What a wonderful thing.

[@andrewpinheiro7202]

That’s probably the best smelling place on this planet.

[@jeffcargile9372]

Quite possibly!

[@xxExtol]

I am a new pipe smoker and was JUST in Birmingham and made a stop at The Briary. Super good store, lots of selection. I just met these fellers today! CRAZY!!!

[@jonathanmchugh5978]

What a brilliant video of an amazing store. I’m am so jealous you have these places in America. Next time I visit USA I’m coming to this store. Brilliant. Jonathan 🇬🇧

[@tfitz44]

Ok, this is cool. Here I am just going through KZbin, and I see Skip and The Briary pop up. Needless to say it was a pleasant surprise. I was born and raised in Homewood, graduated Homewood High in 1992. I’ve known Skip since the mid 90’s. Back then they were still at the old Brookwood Mall off of Lakeshore Dr. I now live in West Virginia. A friend I went to high school with, Eric, worked at The Briary for many, many years. I spent a lot of time in there back in the day. So cool to see this pop up this morning. Thanks for making my day! Cheers!

[@jeffcargile9372]

How cool is that! I’m sure Skip would love to see you again if you’re in the area.

[@GamerNxUSN]

Man, I wish we had a place like this in Oklahoma, a few great cigar lounges for sure, but they still tend to cater to the flashier, louder crowd, this seems like a beautiful place to actually slow down and enjoy a smoke without having to hear ESPN in the background.

[@derekspipesandcigars1892]

I'm also live in Oklahoma. Wish we had more pipe shops around

[@westerndoughty2315]

@@derekspipesandcigars1892 Tulsan here. We have Ted's Pipe Shop and a couple of pipe friendly cigar places but I wish we had a cool free standing place like this.

That's just stunning. What a fantastic store 👍👍👍

[@joejones3885]

Thank you so much for the video..I just got my package today from the Briary .. the house bulk tobacco is amazing 🥰.. much love from Oregon coast..

You are so welcome!

Awesome video, thank for the tour.

[@jeffcargile9372]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@chrlkm3669]

Good to see that there are a few of these good old tobacco stores still out there! I'm blessed to have a tobacconist from the 1860th in my hometown. You cannot beat this decades of knowledge about pipes and tobaccos. Always a great pleasure to visit. Even if you are not planning to buy something. I always do anyway 😂 thanks for the video! Many greetings from northern 🇩🇪

[@jeffcargile9372]

Thank you, from Alabama to Germany!

[@Robbie7441]

That's a great little shop , I love it.

[@3riverspiper1792]

Hello Jeff, a wonderfully relaxing visit to your local Bricks & Mortar, what a haven to have, so important to support and promote these establishments as you have done here...Northern Briars, I have five of Ian's pipes in my collection, all are superb smokers..Ian is a perfectionist, and the most humble of craftsmen...how long Ian will continue to create these traditional quality classic smoking apparatus is an open question, my comment when pipe aquisitiion is about value / enjoyment / pleasure I have found my Northern Briars to be outstanding investments. Keep Well My Friend, and thank you so much for sharing. Steve.

[@deaner6371]

What an absolutely beautiful shop!~

[@samturner9562]

Thank you so much for posting. I had never heard of the Briary and will definitely make a trip there !

[@jeffcargile9372]

I hope you do! Thanks!

[@thepipersmantel]

We don't have many stores like this in Australia. Thank you for the awesome footage!

[@gaitribharath5956]

Not my usual viewing but totally enjoyed the video. I wish I could visit one day. My dad was a pipe smoker and I always loved the smell of the tobacco. He had to quit due to health reasons but kept his pipes for a long time after.

[@AlfonsoTheTraitor]

That is truly a beautiful little shop thank you for sharing this little gem of a tobacconist zenith us😉

[@tomkeene14]

I am lucky that Northern Briars pipes are made just down the road from me and now that The Cheshire Pipe Club is up and running I see Ian Walker regulary. Great to see his pipes enjoyed on the other side of the pond. Enjoy yourself everyone!

[@jeffcargile9372]

I own two of his masterpieces.

Cherrywood is one of most underrated design. I loved it once I got it cs I always wanted a sitter.

Nice vape shop 😅 Totally kidding, this is really awesome. So much history and info on display and for sale. I've left combustion behind, but now I want to pull out that old pipe I used to enjoy on the porch when I was 20.

What a fun little video ... I'd love to visit some day. (I should probably start growing a beard now)

[@af4od02]

Thanks for the excellent video of the Briary. We are really lucky to have a truly great pipe store and Skip and his staff here in Alabama. I try to make at least one trip per month (4 hours round trip) to visit, acquire new tobacco’s and to my wife’s dismay purchase “More Pipes!” I am Looking forward to the big July 6 event. I will be there. Thanks Jeff for the video.

See you July 6th!

Great video. I live in the south east alabama region and will have to make that 3hr drive to go check this place out as we don't have any real pipe store type of places around here.

Do you get different feel smoking bent vs straight pipe?

[@jeffcargile9372]

In my opinion yes. My favorite curved stem is the Peterson System pipe. I’m a fairly wet smoker, and the “System” helps with that.
