The Advanced Breathe Method

[@allenl391]

Dear Muttnchop Piper I want to thank you for teaching me how to smoke using the Breathe Method. I started smoking a pipe in the 1960s. I'm now 74 of years of age and recently started smoking pipe again, Your method has helped me enjoy the experience of pipe smoking so much more. And thanks too for all your very informative videos.

[@PreachermanPiper]

So good to see you my friend.You're teaching a method I have practiced for 45 years now. Making me feel old here. lol Started smoking a pipe when I was 19 still going at 73. I learned this from an old gentleman way back then and the greatest thing I ever learned. I have taught thousands over the years. Great Video

[@amielterence]

Hi sir. I’ve recently started taking up pipe smoking. This breathe method is the first I’ve used, I do find that I end up inhaling the smoke while doing it. Something I don’t want to do. I also do the conventional sip method to see if I can find a difference in flavour. Any tips on fine tuning the method? Cheers

[@adamnordskog1231]

@@amielterenceI find it helpful to close my eyes at times and it seems to help me concentrate on the breathing and the taste instead of looking at how much smoke is being produced.

[@amielterence]

Adam Nordskog Thank you kindly

[@adamnordskog1231]

@@amielterence You're welcome. I hope it helps.🙂

[@uthomo7275]

Thank you sir , I amost quit the pipe smoking because of terrible flavour & tongue burning. Your method is really a saver . Now I can feel a series of taste without a tongue on fire . The bowl is very cool. And the remaining taste is in my mouth even hours after piping. I didn't have a single idea of how to smoke. What I did was only to puff puff. This is indeed magical .

[@pibble2]

Your breathing method has changed my pipe smoking. So many more flavors. No tongue bite either. I was scorching the tobacco almost every time. This taught me to slow down and sip the smoke. Now that I've practiced,

[@nvdawahyaify]

when smoking a cigarette what you want to do is actually, draw the smoke into your mouth like you're pulling water into your mouth from a straw. then after pulling the cigarette away from your mouth, you open your mouth and inhale, then exhale. you don't want to draw directly into the lungs. it is very hot and harsh that way. I switched to a pipe from cigarettes, and im so happy that i did. its helping my to no longer be addicted.I am so thankful that i found your channel chris.

[@pantrog96]

If folks aren't folowing your advice, they are missing out on really enjoying their pipe smoking. As a noob pipe smoker, I have followed your advice and have practiced the methods you demonstrate and have discovered a new pleasure of pipe smoking. You are a friend to the pipe smoker. Keep up the good work.

[@PatrickSteil]

Simplified and explanation that works for me. Breathe normally through your he nose. Keeping your mouth closed on the pipe, puff out on slowly on the pipe. That’s all I think about and it’s easy. You will have to be drawing air in in order to puff out. But not having to think about drawing air in makes it easy.

[@libbyd1001]

As a new pipe smoker, this method has helped me to start off in a great way. Lots of enjoyment, very little frustration. The only part that doesn't make sense to me is how reversing direction of air - out through the pipe, can actually cool it. The air we breathe in is around 21% Oxygen, and it makes sense that as we draw in this air through the pipe, it is going to 'feed the fire' and the ember will heat up. However, the air we exhale is still around 16.4% Oxygen. As this air passes through the bowl, it will also 'feed the fire'. The ember doesn't care which direction the air passes through it, it's still going to increase combustion. When we stoke a campfire and blow out exhaled air through the embers (or tinder, if just getting it lit), this exhaled air results in increased combustion due to the increased Oxygen supply. Anyway, aside from that, I sincerely appreciate the enjoyment the Breath Method has added. Thank you Muttnchop.

[@palerid3r311]

I had no idea. I've been ok with burning the crap out of my mouth for years. Thank you.

[@MajidAlQassimi]

Small sips, thats the trick! Thank you for doing so much on the breath method! I haven’t been a year piping and already enjoying the technique. Packing a pipe is me getting ready for an hour of contemplation and zen!

[@daveabood]

Been smoking a pipe on and off for twenty years. The on and off part is because I never quite felt I had the best methods. I'd get a typical tongue bite, missed out on the finer tasting notes of the tabaco, bowl got hot, etc. Your videos have changed the whole experience into what it was always supposed to be. Thank you!

[@mayllsonricardo9101]

Thank you so much for your videos, i'm 32 years old and i'm smoking pipe for a one year. I learn so much with your videos. I'm from Brazil !

[@vicenzor9699]

Listen to this man, he's pre med. I got this down once I realized you just relax and breathe in the nose and out the nose slowly. That's really all there is to it.

[@yerepilov]

Thanks a lot! My pipes life divided by two after Breathe metod. Now all of me pipes are cold and dry, even the ones I thought were hot. And now i feel taste every puff. It's so easy to understand, and it works so well!

[@javigarcia_halterofilia]

Hi there! New at pipe smoker here! I used to smoke it like a cigarette and man, it was a hell, it had no sense and not even enjoyed or relaxed the experience. After seing your videos and study the breath technique, wow... like an open and bright morning sky. Now my concept of pipe smoking has change completely. Now I feel the zone, I enjoy smoking it and controlling the heat and I have to say you thank you. Thanks so much for open my mind to this whole new world of pipe smoking. Wish you the best, keep up the good content, god bless you and receive a very candy hugh from spain.

[@CemeterySunshine]

I realize that this video is old and you probably won't see this but I wanted to thank you for sharing this. Smoking the pipe like a cigarette is like eating every steak well done. I can now smoke pipes that I thought were just bad quality and frequently overheated.

[@MuttnchopPiper]

I'm glad I could help, and you are very welcome

[@MatthewThirteenFourtyFour]

Again, I tip my hat to you good sir. I get so much more flavour from my bowl and I’m no longer worried about it going out (it does, I just don’t care any more haha). I took up pipe smoking again this year after 10 years and decided to watch this and your other breath method videos; tonight I watched this video as a quick refresher. I then settled down to a bowl of Peterson deluxe navy rolls for the first time (sampler pack) and I’m able to pick out so many more flavours from it and all without tongue bite. Thanks for sharing your experience and spreading the joy of this hobby. I am, as I’m sure many are, ever in your debt. Dave

[@naushaadarbee8820]

Excellent tutorial Sir. Greatly appreciated ! South Africa.

[@vjm3]

I guess where I got confused with the original method is where you said "Breathe in through your nose." I assumed it meant "When you breathe in through your nose, naturally it will draw a little on the pipe since the air in your mouth has to move with your nose air too." So in this way, you 100% concentrate on breathing only through your nose, and none through your mouth. What I realized while watching this video is you actually meant "When you breathe in through your nose, you also breathe in through your mouth just a little bit. Like a VERY little bit. Then when you breathe out, you push a little whisp of air out the pipe stem in your mouth. Do this 3 times, then breathe out fully through your mouth." At least I think that's what you're saying. This sounds like something someone has to try for themselves I guess.

[@SquiddlyInk]

When you’re breathing in through your nose you slowly pull your tongue back with it - creating a sort of vacuum effect where the motion of your tongue is pulling in smoke and when you exhale you push the other way with your tongue - all very gently. The farther you pull your tongue back the more smoke you get. I too thought the same way you did until another guy here on YT broke it down in an easy way to understand.

[@milescoleman3150]

WOW! this revolutionized my pipe smoking! I have just started and was getting tongue bite all the time! I followed your methods and had the most enjoyable smoke ive ever had! I packed my pipe better and tamped the ash down better and was able to very SLOWLY smoke almost a full pipe before I got some heat and gurgling. I was aware of the more subtle flavors and the gentle interplay of my breath and the pipe! Im smoking my dad's old pipe and again thank you so much! I was able to smoke it with hardly a relite too!

[@gonzalo3756]

Thanks again for returning to this topic, for me this method really changed the way I smoke a pipe. regards!!!

[@daleb8136]

Thank you so much for making this, I started smoking cigars and moved to pipes a year later. I was treating my pipe like a cigar, I had to do a lot of relights and a bowl would only last about 25-30 min. Thanks to the breath method a bowl now lasts me about an hour and 15 min. The meditative effect of this practice has been a real game changer and has enriched the whole experience. Thank you again.

[@churchether]

As a novice pipe smoker, you helped me alot. Thank you!

[@MrMartinburgar]

I found this methodology of pipe smoking whilst wood turning ,I was concentrating on the job at hand with the pipe on the go and believe me or not I got the most flavoursome taste and thought mmm this is good baky then I noticed that every time I worked with the pipe on the go it was better and better.youvare 100% correct in what you say and once the pipe was lit it never went out till the bowl was finished

Thanks Muttnchop; I have been smoking a pipe for little over two years and have really had to concentrate on slowing down. This method is very helpful.

Never understood why my pipe got hot during breath method from time to time. I’ll be trying this out. You’re the man. I was looking forward to an ad though. Get this thing funded!

[@chrisbjarkman]

I would add to smoking cigarettes or vaping that there are two different ways people inhale and especially with vaping effects throat hit: some “direct inhale” as you demonstrated, and others draw the smoke into their oral cavity and then inhale. As far as the breath method - I love it and my pipe is typically clenched and I’m breathing through my nose and retrohaling a lot. I love it 👍🏼💨💨💨

[@TheHammerofDissidence]

Cigars are similar to pipes in that you have to pace yourself. You also have to keep an eye on the burn and make corrections from time to time. The lighting of a cigar and pacing of smoking determines how much flavor you'll get. Slow, gentle, long draws. Burning it too hot will ruin the whole stick.

[@gray_man76]
