[@papiper7773]

Mark hi my friend............Always good to see you.........Loved this video..............Take care Mark.......Stay safe my good friend.

[@RelaxedpiperYoutube]

Thank you for the story. Very interesting.

[@michaelsease3844]

Saw Mark holding a pistol and thought the lockdown finally got him.

[@bremenpipesmoker6571]

Don't you worry, my friend...lol...I'm doing fine! Thank you so much for taking the time! Take take...and be well! Mark

[@samuellefischer9596]

My two favorite things tobacco and history. Your channel has been such an awesome find. I’ll be in Bremen this summer for a day. Funny if I ran into you!

[@gileus1]

Excellent story and meaning behind the story. Best to you and yours.

[@Civilwarpiper]

🤣🤣 Greatest intro ever!!!!

Greetings from Kuala Lumpur , fantastic story and great pipe and tobacco review. Look forward to the next video ! .

[@SmokingCardboard]

Your videos are always excellent. Thanks for sharing. Take care my friend

[@randytuggle]

Tradition and honor are two things the world seems to forget about in this modern age. Thank you for another great episode. Be well!

[@bremenpipesmoker6571]

Thank you so much for that, my friend! So much appreciated! Take care! And be well! Mark

[@UnclePhilsCellar]

Mark that was awesome as always. Go well and indeed, perhaps we will see you again.

And thank you for this historical story and commentary on tradition.

[@peterechtermittelhesse8858]

Hey Mark. Your Videos are never "to long"! They are allways very intresting and we enjoy them. Thanks for this. Have a nice Weekend. Much greetings from Mittelhessen.

[@chuckduttry]

What a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. A pipe and a story. Thank you for the time it takes you to make these.

[@bremenpipesmoker6571]

Thank you so much for that, my friend! Truly so much appreciated! Take care! And be well! Mark

[@GrandJctPiper]

Thanks Mark for another fantastic episode. Being a big history buff, and family still Covid locked down in Germany, I can‘t wait for your reviews and historical perspectives each month. I have told my Cousins in Zwickau about the channel, and hopefully this year if the flight ban is lifted, I can have them bring some tobacco I canöt get in my small Colorado town. I‘m a big Vauen pipe fan and can‘t wait to try their tobacco.

[@rtp737]

Thanks for the video! Here it became a Tradition to watch your videos as soon as you publish them!

[@nocheinmichael]

Mark, nice to see you again and get another piece of your vast chest of knowledge. Stay save and God bless, Michael

[@stevenbuchholz6832]

Mark, I enjoy your site very much for your opinions / reviews as well as the history you share with us. I sat back today with a pipe from 1950 ( my birth date ) and some Old Gowrie and listened to your story of the duel, tragic but very real. I have always thought of tradition as a fabric of life , a quality that should be remembered. Glad to see you back, you had me worried, stay safe.

[@headmahone]

Such a great video! Thank you!!!

[@SmokesaPipe]

Fantastic video Mark. Love the opening scene and good to see you again.

[@TrailrunnerTroy]

Thoroughly enjoy your videos, Mark - including this one! And also your practical insights, such as the fact that filtered pipes are so popular in Germany. I now own two Vauen pipes as a result. As an ultra-runner I don’t smoke much but it is a special reward after a hard week of training or a peak race. Danke schöen from Colorado.

[@natemills6220]

Always a pleasure to see a new upload from you Mark! Greetings from Hawaii!

[@bremenpipesmoker6571]

Thank you so much for that, my friend! Much appreciated! Take care! And be well! Mark

[@konstakarjala]

That was a fascinating story and a good food for thought. I think the point is still relevant in the modern days.

[@t.greggmcclain6538]

Another good one, Mark. Thanks.

[@EricBryan]

Always a good day when you share a new video story. Fascinating about the duel and the tobacco…I think when travel opens up, Lower Saxony is at the top of my list to visit!

[@ParsimoniousPiper]

Fascinating history as always. Thanks!

[@ruedigerrodewald6791]

Bremen Pipe Smoker, my fellow german pipe tobacco smoker. This is the first time ever i comment a video in KZbin after years as a lurker but i have to tell you i missed your videos. Well done, great stuff. All the best from Luebeck/Lubeca to you. Rudi

[@bremenpipesmoker6571]

Thank you so much for that, my friend! Truly so much appreciated! Perhaps, we get the chance, to join a pipe...next time, I'm near Lübeck... Take care! And all the best from one hanseatic city to the old capitol of the Hanse!

[@ruedigerrodewald6791]

@@bremenpipesmoker6571 Whenever you come to Luebeck give me a call. My phone number is in the local phone book and can easily be found online. Aside joining a good smoke the old Hanse City of Luebeck is always worth a city tour and a trip back in history. brgds Rudi

[@andrefialho2362]

Excellent as always. Great background history!

[@ra777wow]

I just got the time to sit and watch this one, and I thought it was great and the way you tell the stories! That tobacco really sounds good too, I would like to try. Well, always a pleasure, thank you Mark, and hope to see you again soon. ron

[@bremenpipesmoker6571]

Thank you so much for taking the time, my friend! Truly so much appreciated! And... yeah... see you again... very soon! Take care! Hope you're well! Mark

[@dcrguns921]

One of the best video's ever! Such an interesting story! How wonderful you still take the time to make great video's for us! Thank you so much Mark! I really enjoy them, always! Greetings from Belgium, hope you are fine! Scarlet.

[@gravis00]

I like the cut of your Jib sir. Great stuff.

[@outsmokinrauscher3943]

Thought you would have said “we dueled and you lost”! Very good history lesson and nice dueling pistol.

[@michaelmallory6758]

Tradition is sorely missing from modern society...just sayn'...but a good traditional tobacco is a thing of beauty...straight down the middle!

[@bremenpipesmoker6571]

Yep! Couldn't agree more! Thanks for watching! Much appreciated! Take care, my friend! And be well! Mark

[@GillesCassidy]

Hello Mark, Nice to see you are doing well. The pandemic has been hitting everywhere pretty hard. I have been very busy at work (maybe you remember I am a nurse), even today, as we have nearly no Covid in my region, lots of overtime b/c so many nurses have been taken out for health reasons. Everytime you talk review a tobacco, I want to try it LOL... even though, I am prety sure this one won't be one I would like (as hard I try, still cannot like Virginia base blends). Traditions... very interesting topic. Lots of good, but we can find lots of bad one. Always depends on the situation. I can understand traditions and folklore, but not when it comes to retaliation, but there is so much of that. Always such a pleasure to see you my friend. Take care, and Be well! Gilles

[@4one6Piper]

Great to see you Mark. You always make each bowl with us interesting. Love that spot in the woods for a bowl.

[@ondrat9790]

It is pleasure to see you again, Mark! Thank you for a wonderful story and great tobacco review. Always looking forward to your videos. Greetings from Czechia. Hope you are well!

[@casspipercassidy4297]

I really enjoyed this story Mark. What a different society we live in today compared to as little as 100 years ago. Makes us think about these traditions. I think I understand what your point may be ! Many thanks for this. Cass ☘️🍀

Thank you for the history lesson. Another tradition from Mark that I hope does not end.

[@grandpacavendish4422]

Hi Mark: Great to see you, and enjoyed the story-telling. Reminds me of the Hamilton-Burr duel of American History. The Vauen Tradition No. 1 sounds good. Hard to beat the classic burley/virginia mix, right? LJ Peretti in Boston makes some fine traditional blends, here in America. Happy to hear that you're well. All is good on this side of the Atlantic. Be Well, my friend. Ed

[@EricDolecki]

Excellent video - I have subscribed to your channel and enjoying your videos very much - are you a teacher? If not what is your profession?

[@Zydefan]

Lieb Mark, what a wonderful, telling story with an equally insightful discussion about tradition. Makes me think of “ Les Fables de la Fontaine “ or perhaps ( as you so likeably use that word often :-) the German equivalent the brothers Grimm? The forest is steeped in German culture . I, recall, my father from Vienna, telling me stories of his youth group cleaning up the woods around Vienna and sleeping overnight in the various huts . Going back to the needless bloodshed over a false understanding of tradition we “ perhaps” should consider what effects the duel had on the Baron and Baroness,s children. Take care, Mark as I relight my meerschaum. pipe with, of course, MacBaren roll cake.

[@maxschneemann7361]

Großartigs Video & Storytelling!! So faszinierend, dass ich natürlich sofort nachschauen musste, was es mit der Duell-Geschichte auf sich hat. Dabei fiel mir auf, daß Wikipedia der Meinung ist, das Duell hätte 1902 - also vor 120 Jahren - stattgefunden. Du trägst die Geschichte aber so überzeugend vor, daß ich Deiner Version eher Glauben schenken möchte. Und der Wirkung der Geschichte und deinen weisen Worten tut es ja auch keinen Abbruch.

[@bremenpipesmoker6571]

Thanks for taking the time...and looking into that! And...yep....you're absolutely right! Don't know, how that happened! Sorry for that! I gonna try harder next time...that's against the "honor and tradition" of my profession :-) Take care! Hope, you're well! Mark

[@bobreynolds744]

Mark, I have never seen a meerschaum flintlock and a meerschaum pipe in the same video before. They both smoke too. I think you made history. Take care Bob

Thank you so much for that, my friend! Truly so much appreciated! And...yeah...sorry for that...but if you really want it...just give Ronny a mail...shipping isn't too much here... [e-mail] Take care! And be well! Mark

[@iancavon7125]

A few years before that event, the European nations had somehow stumbled into WW1 the same way as these two noblemen had stumbled into their duel. The British King, the German Emperor, and the Russian Czar were cousins; in the weeks and days that led up to the war, they desperately corresponded, familiarly adressing each other by the names of "Georgie", "Willy", "Nicky", yet they couldn't prevent the bloodshed that was to follow even though none of them was actually keen on going to war. However, the traditional rules of nationalism, power politics, and militarism that were in full sway back then left them no way out. On a much larger scale this was the same as the traditional rules of honor that bound the two noblemen to sort things out by finally having a duel. And in both cases tragedy struck.

[@portlandpipesmoker8497]

Hello Mark my good friend! Very interesting video and topic...tradition is a tricky thing, and not all equal. Some tradition is harmful (as you alluded) and some can be beneficial, but have to be careful. The baccy looks and sounds good to me, always enjoy a quality VaBur. Sorry I haven't hit you lately on the voxer, but my back has still been problematic. Not to worry though, we'll talk soon, gonna make sure of that! Take care my friend! Corey

[@bremenpipesmoker6571]

[@cenoviopereira8603]

Imo, Kohlhase really shines with Scottish blends. All Rattray's scottish blends are great and John Aylesburys Scottish Blend is mild but still really nice. They bite but I'll take the occasional bite with a great tobacco over no bite with a flavorless tobacco.

[@slimyrabbit3607]

How would I go about finding one of those pipe tampers? The one I see you use a lot.

[@stephencooper3480]

He makes them look for his vid

[@churchether]

Was not starting the video with "mhm - Hi there" and intentional break of tradition? While ending the video with a ""perhaps see you again" a nod to keeping some tradition? You got me thinking.

[@bremenpipesmoker6571]

Damn..guess you're right! Sorry for that...gonna fix that in the next video :-) Thanks for taking the time! Take care! And be well, my friend! Mark

[@DropbearWoodworks]

A bowl and a history lesson, what could better?

[@edjo3430]

Mark, 100 years ago, you would have carried all 4 items daily. Perhaps a home grown tobacco instead. And maybe different clothes. And maybe no glasses. With a beard. And boots. Hmm yup. Love you my friend. Thanks for the video as usual.

[@bigcountrybriar9911]
