So well put! I agree 100%

[@alrdye]

Makes me want to start working on my own muttonchops. :)

[@willy9119]

After 35 years of pipe smoking YOUR method changed my life! God bless you.

[@DavidPScherer]

My last two bowls were the smoothest and coolest I have ever smoked. Thanks.

[@MuttnchopPiper]

[@SMccrate01]

This method is bound to enhance the relaxation aspect. Much of meditation technique involves focusing on the breath and how to control it. It's naturally relaxing.

[@Emmanuel661]

This method is revolutionary. It turns your pipe into a cigar. Wow. Thanks!

[@junauralojipan3062]

I know I am late to this video. But I want to thank you for teaching this method. For a new pipe smoker like me, it is a real game changer. It taught me how to slow down and enjoy the smoking experience without smoking too hard. It is very helpful. Thank you!!

[@AHappyBachelor]

Yeah, good point; I agree. I'm kind of a newbie too, and this video was really helpful

[@jeffreyboniface8206]

Getting my first pipe tomorrow, Stanwell Brushed Black 84, excited to start this new journey. My brother in law and I are both married with kids and lead a very hectic life. Both our wives are stay at home moms (often I feel he and I are the lucky ones, I couldn’t imagine doing all that my wife does she really is an incredible woman), but I digress. He’s a police officer and I work in the tree industry, 60-70 hr work weeks with little sleep and kids ranging from 1 to 5. We’ve decided to pursue this as a means to both relax and unwind as well as grow closer together, he’s my best buddy and I’m really thrilled to get to share this with him. Thanks for all your informative videos, you’re a wealth of knowledge.

[@raybrensike42]

If she lets you smoke in the house you got a good one.

[@nathanielfox1143]

I've been using this method for about 2 weeks now and this works amazingly. I'm new to pipe smoking, and I've never been around it before. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. This is such a relaxing thing for me. I do this as a stress release, for some reason it's like all my anxiety melts away when I smoke tobacco pipe. I can't even describe how it feels to smoke a pipe at the end of a day, and using this method it's actually much more enjoyable and less frustrating. I can just sit back and enjoy it, way less re-lights and tongue bite. I look forward to using this method for hopefully 60, 70 more years to come (I'm only 24) thank you again for imparting this to my life. You seriously changed the entire pipe smoking experience for me.

[@frankspage]

You remind me of my late step dad. Same methodical explanation style, same gestures, same speed. Anyways so that the way you demonstrate this method of smoking is exactly how he used to smoke his pipe

[@Cornealious]

I'm a cigarette smoker trying to use a pipe to get rid of cigarettes. I also love cigars, but good cigars are too expensive for me to smoke all day. I found a great cheap pipe tobacco I love the smell and taste of, but until I found this video I was about to give up on trying to smoke it. Thank you! I can now keep my pipe lit, and I'm also enjoying the satisfaction of manipulating the ember inside the bowl.

[@Dadridesbikes]

Great vid. I’ve been smoking for years but only recently have I begun to try to sloooooow down. I’ve sort of already been onto this technique without knowing, and it has changed the way I smoke. But after watching this vid I am much more aware of what I am doing and have been able to improve even more and gain more enjoyment out of my pipe. Thanks for taking the time to post this!

[@motrance42]

Great video. This video advanced my pipe smookikng so much. I’m fairly new to pipe smoking, and I have a problem, not related to the breathe method, but to cleaning my pipes. I smoke my pipes with filters, and then I leave the pipes to cool down, still with the filter inside, for 24 hours, before I clean them. The next time I smoke that pipe, its sour and take away a lot of the flavour. I simple have to clean the pipe with whisky, to get the full enjoyment out of the tobacco. All my pipes are Savinelli pipes with 6mm filters.

[@mryan3544]

Tried this tonight with Seattle Pipe Club's Plum Pudding. Worked amazing...massive flavor enhancement as well; just incredible. 🤘🤘🤘

[@MarkWilliams-vm6pz]

Thank you for saving me! I now smoke my pipe properly. I am relaxed. I smoke right to the bottom of the bowl. My pipe never gets hot and I no longer get tongue bite. Thank you! 👍🔥💨

[@phillbartell5823]

My Friend, thank you. I’ve been a pipe smoker for 20+ years and have always wondered why I get tongue bite, and why I bang through a loaded pipe so quickly with the harsh burnt taste consuming my experience. Turns out that I’ve been smoking my pipes all these years like a cigar. I’ve been trying the breath technique for two days now, what a revelation!! Enjoying the full bodied taste and the relaxing experience. You just changed my world! Appreciate you. Phill B. In Colorado.

[@ivanpavlovic9375]

Thanks for all your videos, especially for the Breathe Method. I have been smoking a pipe for 35 years, and now I enjoy it more than ever thanks to you. I wish you all the best. Best regards from Smederevo, Serbia.

[@howfatalcanitbe]

You Sir are undoubtedly one of the greatest mentors of the pipe smoking community. I have tried pipe smoking few years ago, but then shortly after this adventure ended, and my participation in this lovely hobby was suspended for around 6-7 years. A few weeks ago I have found my box of pipes and attempted to smoke a few bowl of some deliciously smelling English blends, only to constantly bump into my old friend: tongue bite. Needless to say I was not pleased. And then, a couple of days ago I have stumbled upon your channel, watched several of your videos, including this one and the follow up on the topic. Today I have loaded my beloved Stanwell billiard pipe with some Virginia No 1, set down on a bench outside and smoked it until the bottom with a smile on my face and only pure delicious taste in my mouth. In short: Thank you, the knowledge shared by you on this channel is priceless. I wish you happy piping for long years to come

[@stevelynn4402]

Boom!! What a fantastic difference maker...me: wet pipe, (gurgle), too many hot bowls, some tongue bite and way too many relights. 24 hrs later... minimal relights, I can actually taste significantly more, aroma is better (yeah), no gurgle and zero hot bowls!! Lord knows...hot smoke ruins it.. This dramatically improves an enjoyable pipe smoking experience. This is my third attempt to enjoy this generational experience. Ill perfect it over time and no doubt get even better results. You’re the man MCP thanks!!! ✌🏼😎

[@MuttnchopPiper]

Steve Lynn - I am so glad you are finding success with the breathe method, congrats my friend. 👍👍👍

[@michaelsanturri2553]

5 years late but just wanted to say this method made no sense to me until I tried it. Amazing how much more enjoyable and controllable it makes a smoke behave. Thanks for passing a bit of wisdom along. It's made a world of difference for me

[@davidjohnson9639]

I have started smoking a pipe again after not doing so for 24 years. I had started smoking cigars and just fell out of pipe smoking over time. Now, I am smoking a pipe far more than cigars. I love the breath method. I was always a wet smoker with a hot bowl but no longer. It also prolongs the time of relaxation that comes with pipe smoking. I commonly get 1 to 1.5 hours of leisurely smoking time now. This has changed my pipe smoking experience by increasing the pure pleasure that comes from smoking a pipe.

[@gabrielecarelli3475]

I start smoking pipe recently, and i was really sad because every time i get a hot bowl, Now i want to try these becouse i love pipe and i want to stop smoke cigarette, appreciate this metod man 😊👍🏻 i give it more than one try

[@MuttnchopPiper]

I have 2 more videos on this method in my catalog of videos. They maybe easier to grasp.

[@gabrielecarelli3475]

@@MuttnchopPiper ok, i search it and after practice a little bit i told you how it goes 😂

[@charleshutchens6809]

Thank you for sharing the "breath method"! It has totally increased my enjoyment of pipe smoking!

[@MuttnchopPiper]

You are welcome my friend, it’s a pleasure seeing new pipe smokers and even pipe smokers who have been smoking a while but doing it wrong find joy in smoking a pice.

[@MuttnchopPiper]

Pipe

[@alexhalt4979]

I have wanted to pick up pipe smoking for the longest time and just got a few pipes for Christmas. After a few frustrating days I came across this video and wow, just wow. The breath method is amazing, truly a game changer. Took a few tries, but once I got the hang of it I found it awesome.

[@ridwandwiatmadja3309]

Thank you for the advice sir. I put off small piece filter also, Then I got nice smoke without over heat pipe

[@petermorales5411]

Hi good morning l'm Pureto Rico. A beginner smoke pipe. Thank you and others for the advice. Smoke my pipe much better and enjoy it 😌👍

[@ptvptv3827]

Watched this vid because pipes and Guitars channel recommended it. Wow. Only been smoking a pipe infrequently about a year and preferred cigars because of relighting and other issues with pipe smoking. But tried the breath method as you described out in the garden just now and only had to relight twice in half an hour! And that was only because the ember was buried under a heap of perfectly burned light grey ash. Also the technique itself is much more relaxing. Leave the pipe in your mouth put you hands in your nice warm pockets and gently build up a nice thick smoke in the mouth. I would go so far as to say this is the correct way to smoke a pipe and should be what any new piper is taught.

[@BloodHawk31]

I just started recently, me and my friend were smoking one night, and I'd get a lot of tongue bite because of drawing too hard and making the pipe a bit hot at some times, made my drink taste funny, but the flavour was there, just a bit rough, I tried this method and WOW, It's gone, not only that, it made my pipe smoking a very relaxing experience, focussing on breathing and slowing down a bit, take some time and focus on something enjoyable (especially when college gets too much), I have yet to master it, but I see a major difference in my first bowl and those after I encorporated the breathing method.

[@sverremikeson4925]

I've been Smoking pipes for about 4 to 5 years now. Always had the problem of smoking to wet, even if I smoked realy slow and did not Clinch. I can not wait to try this out tomorrow!

[@iwantmovies87]

This video literally opened up the pipe smoking hobby to me. For about six months I have been trying to keep my pipe lit but it seemed impossible. Finally, I came across this video and another one about the Frank Method of packing a pipe. The moment I combined the two, I was able to enjoy a pipe for 30 minutes without relighting. Thank you so much for your videos!

[@MuttnchopPiper]

iwantmovies87 - You are welcome my friend, I’m glad it works for you. 👍👍👍

[@carlmclean8877]

This is just what I needed to appreciate a bowl as a new pipe smoker. Thank you for this video.

[@somethinburnin]

After screwing up and having to excorcize a relatively new MM Legend bent with salt and Everclear, watched your 2 videos, lit better, and tonight, I seem to have suceeded with breaking in and enjoying a bowl of Velvet. I actually packed it yesterday and left it in a Ziplock overnight too. I got my MM Ozark doing ok. It's got Lain 1Q in it and seems to be breaking in fine. I got a new MM Pride straight and got all 3 Casey Jones blends on sale for .99 cents each! Might regret it. Lol. I only have a bowl maybe once a week or maybe more spaced out with a drink.

[@pacifique73]

This must be the fourth time I watch that video. I aways get a little I haven't got the times before and improved my smoking method. Maybe I'm a slow learner in pipe smoking, but anyways, thanks Muttnchop Piper!

[@shanewags2035]

I love this man’s videos. Returning to pipe smoking and I’ve devoured this man’s stuff and what difference he’s made to my knowledge and experience. Thanks for mutton!

[@coursesummaries2988]

Thanks for this. Learned how to smoke a pipe in a few minutes.

[@Meisenking]

Man! That video helped a lot with a few problems I had so far during my pipe journey. I'm pretty new into pipe smoking and I also had gurgling, a hot pipe and therefore sometimes an unpleasant taste experience with tongue bite. After watching your video I took a pipe which made the most problems so far and a tobacco I've never smoked so far (a sample of Peter Heinrichs - Chateau Henry #61). I must say: it was the most pleasant smoke I had so far! Tasty until the end (just finished the pipe 5 minutes ago). I can only imagine what my recent favorite tobacco (Kentucky Bird) would taste like in my favorite pipe from Peter Klein (a freehand) Denmark. Thank you so much for this video! PS: I also just micro gently sucked the smoke in when breathing in and just pushed an idea of smoke through the pipe when breathing out.

[@andrewhinson4323]

Wanted to add my name to the list of new pipe-smokers you helped. This morning, I did my first restart of a bowl I left last night. Smoked it in my office and could barely smell it afterwards. More importantly, it was a legitimately awesome and relaxing experience.

[@flematejr]

Thank you so much for this video! Im new to smoking pipes and every time I smoked my pipe I would get tongue bite or my pipe would get too hot, EVERY TIME!… till I saw your video. This has really enhanced my tobacco and has made my smoking experience much more pleasant. Thank you so much!!!

[@petrnehyba1894]

Smoked for years and years with burned mouth and hot bowl, bite on my tongue from all McBaren's tobaccos, appretiated only partly what is in there to discover. Now, thanks to you! The world really changed 😁 only now for each pipe I need at least an hour!! Thanks very much 👏

[@robertwest7197]

Yup, I’m a new pipe smoker although tan old guy so savie enough to take good advice. Thanks bud.

[@peter-radiantpipes2800]

[@mikelamay7875]

u natural!

[@jus10Rael]

That really helped a lot! Just started with my corn cob pipe a few days ago & was already experiencing some wicked tongue bite. I started out with some Virginia blends & my pipe was definitely getting way too hot. Thanks again 🙏🏾

[@gorudennagetto396]

hey there i don't understand how it works by his explanation or any other video, is it supposed to be like this: breath in breath out (through nose 3-4x) and after that blow out through mouth piece sorry for bothering

[@OnBelayClimbOn]

thanks so much for sharing this! I tried it tonight after drying out some tobacco and it work flawlessly! It was much much more relaxing and helped me develop a better, more relaxed cadence. Thanks so much, Chris! Keep up the great work as we enjoy your talks ever so much!

[@MuttnchopPiper]

Thomas Wilcox - anytime my friend, I'm glad I was able to help. 👍👍👍

[@oldmateadz]

I've been combining this method with a lot of retrohaling lately, and I find it gives me a cooler smoke, zero tongue bite and maximum flavour from the tobacco.

[@MuttnchopPiper]

Adam Myers - excellent technique my friend, I retrohale myself, but I only do it with certain tobacco's, ones with little to no nicotine or it makes me sick. 👍👍👍

[@jeffsmith50001]

Holy Moley I'm an instinctive pipe smoker. I'm A newbie but been doing this from the get go. I call it Zen smoking. Get it going get a good clench,close your eyes and smoke. No relights unless you nod off. Chair in the garden with a nice breeze as you smoke and savour the true taste of your tobacco. Enjoy your smoke and the stillness.

[@dunblanepiper4755]

Your instruction videos are fabulous. I've recently come to pipe smoking as an homage to my late father - I found his old pipes when clearing the house, and your videos are adding so much to my enjoyment. How wrong I have been doing it all!! And, your accent is as relaxing as a nice bowl of fine Virginia. Cheers Big Man

Hello! I'm a new-ish, pipe smoker... or rarely really smoke, I do it in honor of my Grandfathers who were involved in WW2, so its mostly just Remembrance Day that I light up, and maybe twice more through the year. Your instructions here are Fantastic, this was the most comfortable I've ever been doing this. Did not have to relight at all, and it was quite enjoyable while I sat and thought of my Grandfathers. I have a Churchwarden pipe. Thank You

[@kennethkoski7674]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I am just a beginner in this pipe venture and found my pipe was getting way too hot and way too much tongue bite. Just tried this method today and was able to slowly sip my pipe without getting the bowl hot. Actually got to taste some of the flavor this time. Still a lot to learn, but this was a good next step!

[@MuttnchopPiper]

[@willreaume8110]

I just wanted to thank you for your outstanding videos. I'm brand new to pipesmoking, and I've gone from wasting a while box of matches on one bowl because I couldn't get it to stay lit, to being able to smoke a whole bowl while only using three matches. This is only in the span of one week. You have shown me the light!

Hey Muttonchop Piper, I am a brand new subscriber and a fairly new pipe smoker. I decided to subscribe after using your "Breathe Method" advice which has changed my smoking experience in ways words cannot fully describe. I can finally taste all of the flavor that I know the tobacco had, but was having trouble finding. Like you, I also no longer get a hot pipe. Thanks for all of the advice, I think I have made a big step towards fully enjoying my smoking experience now.

Thank you so much. Started my first new pipe was having trouble now I don't. It's a very thin wall doesn't burn my hand now.

[@michaeldriggers7681]

I am very glad I stumbled upon these videos! I have been smoking pipes off and on for almost 15 years and have just recently gotten back into the hobby.

[@arcticwolfexpressllc1377]

So I finally got a chance to try this method. (I was out of pipe tobacco on board my 18 wheeler truck) but it worked and changed pipe smoking for me completely!!! You are awesome, it enhanced the flavor and NO tongue bite. Thank you.

[@MuttnchopPiper]

Arctic Wolf Express LLC - Yes Sir, it’s like you broke through the woods full of brambles and root tripping trees into a beautiful sun lit glade, what I like the best with this method is you can control the burn, it truly is the only way to smoke a pipe. 😃😃😃

[@richardchartier3023]

Thanks once again for teaching the breath method because I listened and dry my tobacco out well then use the breath method through the entire bowl only breathing out the smoke every 30 breaths or so. 😊 This method is also great every time I retrohale.

[@billyshuttleworth8236]

Thank you for this video! I'm a fairly new pipe smoker and this method has totally eliminated my need for tons of pipe cleaners, and has brought out the best in my aromatic tobaccos. Can't wait to try it on some golden sliced, or Mississippi River. Once again thank you sir!

I smoked my first bowl the other morning. I just realized that I smoked using this method kind of by accident. (Although I was really enjoying the flavor, I was surprised I didn't get tongue bite, so I thought I must've smoked "wrong".) I am looking up videos now to learn the "proper method," and I guess I got it "right" anyway. Rock on! Thanks for the tips on your channel!

THIS IS AMAZING! I smoked a pipe in college, but quit for a long time. I picked it back up a couple of months ago when I inherited a collection of pipes from my father-in-law. I used to have a hot bowl, massive tongue bite, and a 'wet' pipe. Your were right on; this method enhanced the flavor of the tobacco I bought on your recommendation, Peter Stokkebye's Luxury Bullseye, and cleared the problems that made pipe smoking not great for me. Thank you, sir!

Smoked my first bowl today. I contrasted how I would smoke a cigar, just a gentle even draw, vs this method..absolute night and day. Cools the bowl, the smoke is delicious, and it is just more natural. I love it. Thanks again!

[@MuttnchopPiper]

Josphelli hsilak - Exactly, one of the aspects I like the best is if you find the bowl getting hot, send more breathe through the stem and in a minute or 2 the bowl is cooler, absolutely amazing. 👍👍👍

[@xblackdog]

I watched this video after your misconceptions one, and THANK YOU! It took a few tries to get the rythem to not let my pipe extinguish, but once I had it the smoke was very enjoyable!

[@nerfytheclown]

Ha! I hadn't watched any of your videos actually smoking until now. I did learn something: even a long-term smoker can learn to do it right. I recently picked up the pipe again after a twenty-year hiatus and spent months relearning what some old-timer had taught me back in the day. I don't understand how anyone can smoke a pipe and enjoy it more than a couple times (not to mention wrecking pipes with tar). Sure is good to see you proliferating the proper smoking technique. Cheers, sir!

[@MuttnchopPiper]

Thank you my friend, it really is enjoyable when you do it right, at least that's how I feel, welcome back. 😎😎😎👍

[@nerfytheclown]

On another note, I recently salvaged an estate Peterson pipe (I've rusticated it and it's pretty cool) and am enjoying my first go at smoking a first-rate pipe. Your video explaining the choice you made and the reasons for picking a Savinelli above all convinced me as to my next quality pipe purchase. Your input is appreciated.

[@MuttnchopPiper]

+nerfytheclown thank you sir, you won't regret your choice. 😎😎😎👍

[@viviencharrier1984]

Awesome... it changes everything. Plus it gives a meditative contemplative aproach to the smoke. Really relaxing .

[@carolinarose704]

Thank you so much for the instruction and demonstration. I will definitely give that a try!

[@mattallen6234]

When I smoked my first full bowl today, I would breathe in my nose and suck a little bit of smoke and breathe in and out a few times with my nose and whenever I would blow out a little from my mouth I'd get some out of the mouth and then some through the pipe. I only had to light it 2 or 3 times after the false light. Got a pretty big nic buzz that lasted about an hour. I was smoking some American Spirit burley so there's the reason with the big buzz. Super super relaxing 10/10 would recommend.

[@Aarondop]

Thank you sir for such great information. I own a Floggelwerks churchwarden pipe and being new to piping, I took to watching all your videos. The breathing method is such an excellent way to enjoy my pipe I don’t think I will smoke using any other method! It took me a bowl or two to master but it seems I got it! Thanks again!

[@MuttnchopPiper]

CowsInSpace96 - I am the same way, it truly is so relaxing, I don’t think I could go back to my old way of smoking a pipe even if I tried. Congrats my friend. 👍👍👍

[@convossobe]

Wow. Thanks for this. I’m new to pipe smoking also. I smoked cigarettes for many years, quit those. Started cigars not long ago which I enjoy. My wife bought me a pipe and I’ve been smoking it like a cigar, no inhale but trying to maximize smoke the way I do a cigar. This is so much better. You really get the nuance of the tobacco flavor. Thank you so much!

[@MuttnchopPiper]

Namon Dimitroff - You certainly do, and it minimizes tongue bite, and the need to relight so much. 👍👍👍

[@ddmantx]

Wow I sure wish I would have learned this method last year when I first picked up the pipe. Now this is relaxing. Can keep the bowl lit for most of the smoke. No more gurgle and I can taste the tobacco. Thanks for your videos and time it takes to make them. It helps guys like me who are learning how to enjoy a good bowl without any live mentors (I don't personally know anyone whom smokes a pipe anymore)

[@MuttnchopPiper]

Fantastic video I’ve been smoking for 40+ years I’ve been doing it a little bit like that but now I’ve been practicing and it is changing everything for the better

[@dotanga73]

Thank you very much for this method. I'm new to pipes and it really improved my smoking. The thing that bothered me the most was the heating of the bowl, sometimes to a point when it was hard to hold the pipe and I had to put it down to cool. Practicing this method keeps my bowl cool, maintains my pipes much healthier and dramatically improves the taste of the tobacco.

You go brother.... I love hearing results like that, I started this KZbin page to help out new pipe smokers and struggling intermediate pipe smokers, it pleases me to know that my efforts are bearing fruit. Happy piping my friend 😃

This is how it should be!! If you watch people on shows or movies they always suck the pipe, which is pretty crummy...this type of "diaphragm" breathing is the type used in meditation/just general physical wellbeing. It makes pipe smoking so much more enjoyable, and it's the way I've been doing it since I started, can't believe how little I see it (the sip/suck method is seemingly everywhere)

Thank you for being on KZbin! Not only does this method work, but it delivers the best flavor from my favorite tobacco. Incredible! You are awesome!

Randy Tuggle - oh go on.....stop it....you're welcome my friend, I'm glad I was able to help. 👍👍👍

Wow-I tried this method and had the best pipe smoking experience I’ve ever had! I’m a novice, and really glad to learn about this method early. It certainly will make pipe smoking enjoyable. It will also give me a desire to sample various tobaccos, as this method definitely helps me to taste and smell the tobacco fully. Thanks for sharing this and for providing detailed steps for successfully using this method.

Thomas Higgins - I’m glad it worked for you, it’s the only way I smoke my pipe. 👍👍👍

[@thomasmooney4376]

This really helped! Once I watched this, i was able to enjoy my pipe smoking experience 100 times more than before, thank you a ton!

[@MuttnchopPiper]

Thomas Mooney - Its amazing isn't it. 👍👍👍

This is funny because I cant clench my pipes without smoking this way. I didn't even know it was a smoking technique. I don't clench a whole lot, but when I do, this is the way I smoke. Pretty cool. Great video.

[@MuttnchopPiper]

Most people clench and draw and don't breathe in between, so everything gets hot, and wet, ✌️

I'm a brand new pipe smoker and this is the most useful information I have found so far. I could actually keep it lit by breathing into the pipe. It felt a lot like I was making out, the back and forth motion, give and take, massaging. Making sweet love to that bowl of tobacco! Haha

[@MuttnchopPiper]

Vehicle Birdnest - ok, that's a little creepy lol, but if it works for you then do it my friend, I'm glad you found the technique useful. 👍👍👍

[@ascendingmoth]

Yeah, I might be taking it a bit far. But it does seem comparable to the art of kissing is all I'm saying.

[@MuttnchopPiper]

Vehicle Birdnest - oh, I know, I was just ribbing you a bit, but you're right it does feel a little like kissing. 👍👍👍👍

I am new to pipe smoking and too have had troubles with toungebite, massively. As a cigarette smoker i guess ive learned some bad habits regarding draw force and cadence, and i am having a hard time "unlearning". Your videos have given me a lot - as is the case for many others i see - of great tips and i am slowly getting the hang of it. When i bought my first pipe, i rushed my choice as the shop was closing, and went for a very nice looking billard design that caught my eye (rusticated Stanwell 107). This was my first screwup as it is short, thinwalled and has a smaller bowl than average. So ofcourse i immediately got toungebite, clogs and a burning hot pipe that i couldnt keep lit if not costantly puffing - because i didnt know how to pack it correctly. Powering through the issues and taking in the advice ive found here, stuff is starting to iron out and i now have a better control and overall experience when smoking. So thanks for that. Ive started working on "the breath method" yesterday and damn this is tricky for me, nose breathing makes me inhale everything, not that it is a major issue as i am used to inhaling, but thinking that i shouldnt makes me stress the practice a bit, and i again end up with a pipe that is way too hot. At the same time i have a tounge that is next level hyperactive so keeping that in check also makes it even more difficult. Oh yeah.. and then there is the wetmouth issue.... I will get there eventually i hope, without ruining the pipe. I know i should probably just buy another pipe more suited for a beginner, i will sometime next week, but knowing myself i think i am just too stubborn to let my current one go on the "giveup". Any thoughts are most welcome. -Again, great, helpfull and informative content. Thank you.

I've been smoking a pipe on and off for years, and exclusively recently to get away from cigarettes. I used to hate the pipe, picked up some corncob pipes a year ago and found Dunhill's EMP to be the best thing for me. just this past weekend a friend gave me an assorted lot of vintage estate pipes and about two pounds of various assorted tobacco's. I've had tongue bite all week.... watching your videos has helped select the proper tobacco's and pipes to go together, and this breathe method works well also! thanks for the tutorials and you have a new subscriber!

[@MuttnchopPiper]

mark petersen - thank you my friend, but you haven't subscribed, (to impersonal) you have joined the Muttnchop pipe club, I think that sounds a lot better youtubes first virtual pipe club. I'm glad you are enjoying the videos, and welcome to the club. 😃😃😃
