My first pipe was a rather bulky briar, has some bend in it. I had about 6 pipes to choose from at that store. A pipe cleaner does not pass through from the bit to the bowl. I clean the bowl part with a pipe cleaner and I clean the mouthpiece with some 409 cleaner or whatever and the faucet which about fits the bottom end of the mouthpiece. One fast flush is all it takes, and I don't have trouble with moisture at all. Never any gurgle at all when I smoke. It's the only pipe I smoke every day. It fits my hand well and I've become so accustomed to it I don't see any need to look any further for any other pipe.

Really good video. I've been smoking pipes for going on 2 yrs now (still don't know what I'm doing ) and I'm still trying to suck up all the info I can. I've watched a lot of your and others videos and take bits and pieces from all of them and use what I can that works for me and I believe that is what it takes. Slow down and practice, try to be consistent. One of my best pipes is a hand me down GBD bent billiard from my Father in law. Good luck with your health, and keep the beginner pipe smokers series.

I think I've gotten some good advice from you. My good lady misses bought me a cheng feng pipe for christmas as she thought I'd enjoy it. I do love the smell of pipe tobacco however I always do my research. I have since found out that the pipe is cheap and nasty and as you say would put me off pipe smoking. I'm in the UK so will be looking for a good pipe for about the $50 price range. I also learned that i need tools for the pipe. Thank goodness for KZbin.

Great new series for new men and women, very valuable ,and even as intermediate piper I find this informative, along with the Muttonchop Chris You are masters, agreeing with 100% your suggestion as to pipes,do not buy cheapos,Best Greets, Paul Moreover, I coming to a realization (even I like those ones with deep narrower bore-thy're harder to keep lit)thin wall deep bowls definitely need some more experience and prudence,pack it lighter ,dry your stuff, and smoke slow as you can -I ve been through all this shit and even today am experiencing tongue bite due to my poor packing and smoking methods try to pay attention to not to buy too spacious bowl size for your first pipe)

@SmokinBriar6 жыл бұрын
Larry Hall Yes you do. English tobacco, virginias, and aromatics all need a separate pipe. Are you familiar with the term "ghosting"? Each of those types of tobaccos will leave an aftertaste in your pipe and putting an english tobacco into the same pipe as an aromatic will give a nasty tasting smoke.

Cafetero Piper I have smoked Mr. brig pipes and i think they are great. Lot's of people smoke them. As for a tobacco easy on the tongue while you learn....stay away from any straight Virginia tobacco and any heavy cased aromatic. Try a light English blend like dunhills early morning pipe. Good luck!

Great video Mike, my first pipe in the 80s was a bent falcon pipe and 2oz pack of Clan aromatic, after the first day of smoking I had to have a rest for a couple of days as the tongue bite was so bad! Lol! you’re advice was spot on, for the price I think the Morgan bent apple is an ideal starter pipe for the price? I personally now smoke nearly all meerschaum or meerschaum lined pipes, I’m glad to see you’re back making videos, I’ve watched nearly all your older ones and the avoiding tongue bite video is one of the best I’ve seen, keep well 👍💨💨💨 Terry
