PIPES: The REAL reason why

Pipe smoking has helped keep me sane for decades. Tobacco pipes are essentially therapists you carry in your pocket. I don't always have stress or problems, but when I do, I may puff a pipe. Or if I know someone who is stressed out or going through something, and they show any interest in pipes, I offer them a free pipe and show them how to use it for comfort, peace, and focus. The REAL reason why pipe smoking is so powerful.

My grandad was a retired Marine and lived to 93, smoking a pipe almost 50 years of that. As his health began to fail, my mom threw out his pipe hoping that would help. Well it didn't and it was obvious to everyone that he was more aggravated and grouchy without it. So she started buying him cigars which filled the gap somewhat. I did some research because I'm not a pipe smoker and found him a decent pipe for Christmas last year. He passed just days before I could give it to him. So now it's my pipe. Guess that's a good enough first pipe. I got some Cult Blood Red Moon because his pipe always smelled a bit like cherries. I wish I had gotten him to teach me and learned what his favorite tobacco had been. Thank you for the lesson.

[@anchorbait6662]

One of the main driving factors that drove the increase of cigarettes use over pipes was World War 1. If you look at the beginning of the war everyone smoked a pipe. They found them more difficult to use while in warfare and living in the trenches. They needed something that freed up the use of their hands for battle. And after the war the GI's brought cigarettes home them. I like to think that under ideal conditions the pipe is the best and most complete tool for the enjoyment of tobacco. It's a little sad that along with millions of men and woman, the first world War also killed the tobacco pipe.

Same with m&m's. They were designed so soldiers could eat candies without their hands getting sticky

[@loto7197]

Maybe that was a factor in the US. I live in Ireland which remained neutral and and we still saw the same shift from pipe to cigarettes. The main factor is the ease of administration of nicotine via cigarette compared to the pipe, smoking a pipe is too time consuming in a world which has continued to speed up; you can get a much greater nicotine hit in a much smaller time frame with a cigarette. Cigarettes were also marketed to a new smoker during this post-war era: women, who would have been reluctant to take up a pipe due to its overwhelmingly masculine association.

My grandfather was a combat medic, so just imagining the things he saw both good and horrendous during WW2, and all the years later, my father said he was smoking it, when man first landed on the moon, and any time he would wake up at night from nightmares of the war that pipe would calm him down.

As you explained about contemplation and slowing things down, that is written about for the hookah too. Make my own hookah tobacco with pipe tobacco, strong stuff. It needs to mix with glycerine or the very hot coal would burn it. The more glycerine, the more clouds but less taste. I like the Syrian tobaccos or Borkum Riff which I smoked in 1968. With the pipe I would not inhale , but with the hookah I only inhale with no heat feeling since its water cooled. My favorite blend is using molasses instead of glycerine. Often add spices like a bit of clove or cinnamon, nutmeg, or rum,whiskey. Gave up the pipe for cigarettes the very day I was drafted age 18 into the 36 month army service in infantry recon and antitank unit T.O.W. missel. After discharge we also did 2 months a year in the same unit as previously ended up over the years with another 36 months served My son a Tank Merkavah 4 driver served too, my brothers 1 in the navy missile boats and 1 in our unit when he finished his 36 months he was in reserves in my unit! Gave up ciggies the day I finished at 21. Keep up the fine videos please.

Hedgehog's Right of Passage It is not called hookah, the real name for it is "Argilah". If you still smoke Argilah, a tip I learned from my friends Arabic father is to buy a large bag of natural hard wood charcoal! Heat the charcoal on the stove with a grill grate then store the heated coals in the special designed standing metal coal holder. If you want more Argilah later that day an the coals are still warm use a large tin can with both top an bottom removed an throw some fresh coals on the heated coals an place the tin can on top to make like a funnel so the coals heat up nice. Most who smoke Argilah, pay WAY too much for a hand held size of coconut husk charcoal, for the same price as natural hardwood charcoal which lasts way over a month + even if you smoke daily. Hope that could help. #Namasté

I agree with you 90%. Thanks for the heads up !"Hookah" is what the Europeans call it and North Americans. I live in israel and smoke what Arabs and Israelis call "Nargilah". I've smoked about 14 years and worked here in Israel for a number of years. I make my own smoking shisha with pipe tobacco and flavouring or sometimes just the pipe natural flavour. It's cheap to buy vegetable glycerin and add it to the tobacco, but too much barely will heat the tobacco and also it lessens the taste.My favourite flavour is pipe tobacco, a tiny % of glycerin and mostly molasses. Arabs call the shisha tobacco "massul" since the old brainds were mainly molasses!

[@Pt0wN973b0iI]

Hedgehog's Right of Passage JUST BE CAREFUL! Prolonged use of Argilah causes you to cough up BLOOD! 😔

And then cancer happens.

"They say" that someone who ssmokes a hookah nargilah more than 16 years grows a turtle shell on his back. In theory a person can jump off of a 70 floor building and land safely on his feet.

[@tonyoutdoorsuk3479]

Listening to you made me well up! What you said was almost deeply poetic. I am a non smoker, but I love all things bushcraft and and the great outdoors, and I bought me a a pipe, so I've been watching a few videos. Thank you for this life-changing video. I love you my Brother from across the pond, and thank you once again.

[@Christopherjamesmurphy21]

I’ve never smoked a pipe. And truth be told, “I’ve always wanted to smoke a pipe” I’d definitely be that guy that asked. And I’d expect your gift 100% You are very kind for your gift routine. Thank you for the video.

Now I want one of your pipe kits!

[@tonypeacock1623]

[@bveracka]

A truly awesome video. I really like the points you made here, and they've really got me thinking. I'm in a spot right now in life where a pipe can really help me to calm down and SLOW down. I see you there driving to your gig (I'm a musician too) and you're so calm & collected; the way in which you talk, your calm nature, your calm driving, etc., you're so calm in doing it all. I'm striving hard for that calm state of mind. Lately, thanks to nice folks like yourself sharing their thoughts, I'm realizing that a calm state of mind and personality begins with slowing down and accepting the present as it is. Not only staying present but finding comfort there in "the now" is how I can get myself into your kind of mindset. Pipe smoking practically demands that we slow down and rest because of all of the accoutrements and the simple, careful nature of pipe smoking--one of many things I love about pipes. When is the last time you saw a [real] pipe smoker in a hurry? Heh! Well anyways, I REALLY enjoyed this video, so thank you so much for sharing it. It sure got those gears turning. I'll definitely be stealing a page or two from your play-book! (= Best Regards from Cape Cod, MA

[@dhans9679]

[@oscarrosado8706]

That thing that calms you down is the nicotine in the tobacco not the pipe

There is something about this man's eyes and demeanor evoking trust & friendship

[@ListenMySon]

That's how most pipe smokers are

[@rorrt]

On a hot summer's afternoon. It's payday. Out with my friends at the bar we always go to. Out in the smoking area, waiting for a pizza to arrive. I crack one of these bad boys out (the pipe, not Gray Bailey). It's pure relaxation. I also had to ponder a few things. Whether to move to another country with work. Whether to retrain in my current job for the next two weeks. The pipe is an excellent tool for the thinking man or lady.

[@ListenMySon]

Well said!

[@sevenguardians7517]

I was given a hand carved German pipe it was carved by a recluse who lives in the woods from what I was told but I love to write on my book and smoke the pipe and pour a glass of my famous dandelion wine or maybe a stiff bourbon depends on the mood but it’s a great way to release from a stressful day

[@tomdrozdowski140]

Oh brother, what a great video! I have never smoked a pipe, but I would love to try with you! Have a great one!

[@1USASOLDIER]

Juuuust when you think humanity is failing, this guy pops up on my timeline and redeems everyone. I’ve never smoked a pipe but my grandfather did. I always loved the way it smelled when he smoked. I gotta try it now.

[@ThePipeNook]

I just re-watched this video after having seen it a few years back. What a phenomenal, well-said endorsement of the values and joys tied up with pipe smoking! Thanks, George!

[@ListenMySon]

Yep. This was off the cuff on my way to my fave biker joint. I can't believe how many views it got. A completely accidental hit.

[@EduardoBach01]

I've seen some of your videos on beards and I alway wondered if you smoke pipe. Not because of the beard but because of the kind of person you seem to be. Pehaps the pipe smokers have this kind of aura of kindness and joy of life. I do smoke my pipe and take with me wherever I go, and I always listen somebody saying "Oh look that, nice pipe and wonderful smell". Right now I'm smoking my pipe and drinking a scotch, sure I'll have a nice sleep. This thing about instant friendship is totally true, people tend to be around you because they feel confort in your behaviour and all the sets of values.

[@skywolfie8573]

I found an old pipe in my house, it's my passed away grandpa's, has 'TOSCANA' carved into the side of it, I always kept it in my drawer and didn't mind it much before I decided to try it a few days ago and stumbled upon your video on how to smoke a pipe, the video really helped me and I enjoyed the experience, thank you for helping me and a lot of people out, hope you keep making videos

[@stephenandcas]

Thank for a wonderful video and a great idea. I have only been smoking a pipe for a short while but already it is a thoughtful and spiritual experience that has changed my life. My friends cannot understand it's nothing to do with habit but more to do with meditation. My aim is one day to make my own pipe

[@ListenMySon]

+Stephen Waters That's awesome. Where do you live?

[@stephenandcas]

I live in the UK in Newcastle Upon Tyne. My son the wharfvalleyboy got me smoking. He's always leading his dad astray!

[@tlt8324]

Gray Bailey Hey, love this vid, you are about 75% of the reason why I want to smoke a pipe, the other 25% is due to Sherlock Holmes, but all joking aside I really want to get into this nostalgic hobby and I have a problem maybe you can help me out......... Everytime I pack a bowl I get a burning sensation in the back of my throat, I've tried the Frank method and the three layer method, the pipe works fine as far as I know, but I get a very harsh taste, the tobacco I'm using is cap'n black. I know it's a cheap tobacco, maybe that could be the problem. Thanks:)

[@ListenMySon]

+T.A. Lambert Cheap tobacco yes. But also try puffing like taking a small sip so it doesn't go to the back of the throat.

[@tadstrange5483]

Thank you for sharing your insight to what I totally agree with. I used to watch my godfather smoke his pipe often and think how calm he seemed to be. Now I use my pipe smoking to relax and ponder the questions of the day. I usually can come to some kind of answer for these issues and feel like I just had a nap. Great stuff Gray.

[@Stealth_Overlanding]

I cant even Express how this video made me feel. I needed this. Thank you! I lost my grandfather a year ago and have inherited his pipe collection. I just found your channel and this video wile looking up pipe maintenance videos. Thank you so much for your content. I cant wait to watch more!

Man. I fully agree with you. I do practice meditation, but smoking my pipe takes me to another form of relaxation. By the way, it is also thanks to you that I bought my first pipe: I thank you for that!

[@danielthompson3982]

Got a new subscriber here. This video was excellent. You definitely have some wisdom to share and I am glad I was able to hear it. I smoke cigars occasionally and never really thought about how they slow down time, if they're smoking well that is, but they really do. In this fast paced age of the internet it is so therapeutic to put everything down and think. I must try a pipe now. Thanks for the awesome video.

[@ListenMySon]

Welcome aboard! The pipe life and culture is amazing. Peace. GB

[@PaulBeetge]

Same here Gray. You Sir have a peace and calm about you that i just love. It makes me calm even. And i dig the beard. I love my Cigars and Whiskey and have always wanted to try pipe smoking but never have. I'm 35 now. Maybe i should try it. I need some calm sometimes. And reflect on life. And a pipe is like a collectable. It will last and outlast as you said. It is your friend when you are lonely. I really liked that part... And cool shirt. Really like it...thank you for the video.

[@LeonidasvonZahnd]

Good Sir, I just stumbled across your Channel today - lucky me! I occasionally smoke cigars and, more regularly, my pipe(s). I started when I was 16, twelve years ago, and was more than once frowned upon, which didn't bother me because even I would imagine a pipe-smoker pretty much like you are: a respected older gentleman with a badass beard - pardon my french! Thank you for your videos/channel. Since I already am living the pipe life, I only have one question should we ever meet in person: Do you also have a Beard-Kit that you give out to people asking about or admiring your beard? Greetings from Germany!

[@SiliconBong]

Who says men can't multitask :D

[@TheWiseWombat]

I hope you're being sarcastic, and not really perceiving everything you read at face value. It's obvious that pipes don't literally slow down time - nothing does. However they, just as anything that is pleasurable and relaxing, can change your perception of time-- slowing it down for you. And I won't even begin a discussion about healthy/unhealthy ways to enjoy yourself, there are so many things that are technically unhealthy in this world (from certain drinks to foods, etc), that one must wonder whether a pleasurable life is better than a "healthy" one, free of little everyday joys. Finally, this is a video on a rather niche topic, if you're so easily triggered by it, why even watch it, let alone comment on it? Also, great, cozy video Gray - didn't even need a pipe to feel relaxed! Subscribed and looking forward to new content from you.

I build my own pipes right here in Louisiana when I first started I was made fun of and picked at but as time went on meeting my age group family's dads mom grandparents they would allow me to smoke in the home when cigarette smokers was pushed into the element's, I've made 78 pipes since then and taught many ppl how to not smoke but enjoy the flavor the calmness of a good old fashion sit and smoke and I love it I really enjoy it with beer but a good aromatic is simply amazing with coffee thanks for the vid and I love the beard

[@williampehl5133]

Sir, I have to say, you’re doing it right with the kit. Cigars and pipes to me are partly about community and sharing a love for a hobby. Having a kit to offer and bring that enjoyment to another individual free of charge is not only a novel idea but incredibly classy. I would say you’re a steward of the hobby. Also as a side note, I ride a Chieftain so you’re shirt is on point 👍🏻
