The Art of Lighting a Tobacco Pipe

I’m not saying it doesn’t damage them I’m just saying I don’t care. 😂 love it!

Any premonition of pretentiousness flew out the window with that comment! Brilliant!

[@Wetwaters_bison]

[@joebator9858]

Pipes & cigars makes a person look sophisticated.

[@philipswain4122]

As we approach the colder months, nothing says warmth and comfort than smoking a pipe. Thanks for this nugget

[@johnfarraro5606]

I really appreciate your sense of humor; I just started using a jet lighter with my pipes; found the single flame lighters to be best for pipes. I agree they light a lot faster. Made me think your just as likely to burn the pipe with a soft flame because you have to leave there forever

[@tonydevinci1031]

prepare to throw all your pipes in the trash, they will smell very bad.

[@DingoWtf1]

I'm a new subscriber. And I'm enjoying watching your videos. I have been smoking pipe tobacco for about 5 years now and I really enjoy it. A hug. Greetings from Chile.

[@jjwallnutts]

I’ve always been a soft flame guy. But you do make a good argument about controlling the torch

[@elcucuygarage]

Right on, man. Doing wtf you want is the right way to burn any tobacco.

[@Civilwarpiper]

Destroys the pipe, causes tongue bite, and burns the tobacco. Torch lighters burn at 2300 degrees. By all means it’s a free country, but there are significant differences to consider.

[@Kenar.E]

You can modulate the distance.

[@MereCashmere]

Never heard of the frank method eh?

[@Anodos_Ascent]

I've had the least tongue bite and most flavour from this method. It's all about the cadence you employ after you light it.

[@TechJunky777]

“Oh…My wife’s back” Says it like he’s in trouble 🤣

Short sweet and to the point. Fantastic vid. Keep em coming

[@libbyd1001]

I'm late to the lighter conversation and new to pipe smoking. Have heard lots of people warning against using a jet flame to light the pipe. Decided to try it anyway based on Jason's videos. Tried it in a cob pipe just in case I messed it up. I figured aiming directly down into the bowl (not across it at all), would reduce the chances of scorching the bowl rim. One issue I have had with matches and 'soft' flame lighters, is that no longer how carefully I try to move the flame around the whole bowl, I always seem to end up with one small channel burning down into the bowl and a lot of unburned tobacco all around it. So I figured, maybe the jet will provide better control as I try to hit every spot evenly. It did. I was amazed at how far away from the bowl I could hold the jet and still light the tobacco. Even at the lowest jet flame I could see it lighting the tobacco from almost 3-4 inches above the bowl. I also learned that my aim sucks and not to hold the bowl as I used the torch lighter aimed down at the bowl and moving it around - ouch. I will probably stick with matches when not windy and my pipe insert Zippo when matches won't work well - but not against using the jet now and then either.

[@AA-wd2or]

First rule is never use jet lighter on pipe tobbaco. in old european smoking culture slow soft fire must kiss tabacco.and made amber ..if you burn it with to hot fire , bad burn taste stay in mouth...but is your personal preference to burn tobacco with hot jet fire ..if you like it light it it's all ok.. With cheap pipes is no expensive damege made with jet lighter .. if you use premium pipes i belive you will use I Corona lighter instead .. i love it also becuse is really good pipe lighter and it work every time.

[@TheTunnellTake]

Second rule, break the rules to see which ones are lagitament. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJLSmnRsbcaYl6s

[@Kenar.E]

Jet lighters don't damage the pipe. Every pipe smoker, using any type of fire source, will have his pipe bowls somewhat burned on the top. Jet lighters are actually way more precise that you can actually aim at the tobacco. Regarding the effects on the tobacco itself: since jet lighters are so pin point precise, you can distance them for a light toasting at first and then go lower for the second burn. I've tried both lighters and there's no difference regarding damages on the pipe.

[@paulhoughton3237]

I'm enjoying your videos right now I've watched a few. I commented about using the torch on another one of your videos, but I really like it! Bravo to you for having the cojones to say it out in the open:) it does seem to be taboo to light with a torch. I also love the fact that in 20 or 30 years you'll be ready to buy a new pipe anyways

[@cewaddell]

Enjoy a good cigar but yet to have a great pipe experience. Love the smoothness and flavor but too much dang work to get it packed lit and stay lit. Another great video.

[@darrylthehorntoadpiper]

I smoke both but to really relax the pipe is the way to go. Packing my pipe is like getting the cigar ready to light, their both fun.

[@Xerrand]

I love what you said about the torch lighter being fine. People can be very gate-keepey with these hobbies and there's a large amount of pomposity that goes along with it too. Refreshing to see a real man talk on it.

[@SpiritofAloha11]

Strike a match. Smoke. The end.

[@DRooPY_eYeZ_tellsNoLies]

Cool. Great presentation. Simple and no frills or ads. Nice.

[@cbesh0]

always enjoy your videos

[@MrLovolovo]

sooo "the burnt taste will linger through the whole bowle" is a myth?

[@eymerichinquisitore9022]

Since social networks have existed, teachers have appeared for everything, hundreds of people who also teach you how to breathe and each of them tells the opposite of another. What a beautiful thing progress is.

[@TheDwalker59]

Helpful, informative,-- and funny as hell! Ever thought about doing the comedy clubs? --What's that?... You say the comedy club is your day job?!

[@benjaminsimpson4763]

Thanks for the tips. I enjoyed your video. I would like to suggest that you try this exercise: try to hum or sort of sing the highest note you can possibly sing for about five seconds, and then the lowest note. Do that about 2-3 times and then talk regular without trying to go high or low and that’s your speaking voice.

[@joebator9858]

Pipe smoke has a pleasant aroma.

[@rpdeao]

Do what works best for you, good advice in order to enjoy your pipe. I switched from a butane to a Zippo with a pipe insert because windy where I live blows the butane and matches out. I smoke primarily churchwardens too because wind blows smoke into eyes at times, ouch. Bonus: makes me feel more authoritative making hand gestures to explain a point, plus they look cool.

[@DavidBittinger-e9k]

I needed this video about lighting a pipe after, doing an experiment with a wick lighter, filled with gasoline, my tobacco tasted a little different. I use a torch lighter and, look forward to tasting tobacco, thanks so much.

[@ianc4681]

Good Evening from England mate🤘🏻🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@diotriton2]

What is this lighter? Could you put a link? Is a good lighter?

[@gastondeveaux3783]

I'm with you on this. Just curious what tobacco are you smoking? Do you have some favourites?

[@barbedwirepiper2403]

I love you aren’t afraid to go outside of the norm and do your own thing! Love the new “old” place!

[@stephenmitchell2881]

Digging the videos! I’m a match guy, but you make fair points. I have had my struggles with the breeze.

[@RazorsEdgeDIY]

I'm a "noob" pipe smoker and I just want to say Thank you! I just ordered my new Cannonball handmade pipe to be made for me through a local B&M Smokers Haven in Upstate NY and I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas! I also ordered some Christmas Cookie tobacco¡🤪🤪

[@edgarw3031]

Very helpful. Thanks for doing this.

Hi, i have the same pipe but he is getting hot faster than any other i have, did this common issue with this pipe?

[@JoseMora-wc5zz]

Thanks king

[@luiscarlossaraiva3786]

Super simple and instructive

[@gabrielecarelli3475]

Hi 😊 what tipe of pipe is that ? Its really beautiful 😊

[@BenjaminGib]

What pipe is that, I like the shape

[@normanwkaden6928]

I have used a torch lighter in the past but i don't like using them and haven't for a few years. These days ill use one of three methods . The first of course is matches, the second is my zippo with the pipe insert and the third is a rope lighter. It's easier than most people thimk and you can adjust the length of the rope as needed.

[@sirsleepy2472]

I love your pipe videos! When did you move to TN?

[@Barberdon2022]

Hello mate, I found my grandads pipes yesterday as he’s past away and I’m wondering do you inhale a pipe or smoke it like a cigar lol 😂 I’m unsure

[@joeypinterrockandroll3961]

i'd love to work on that house. i agree with you about the torch lighters, if one is careful there will be no damage. i think the torch lighters are more even.

[@jameskarlson2135]

Just got my first pipe for Christmas. Long Time Avid Cigar smoker. First time pipe smoker. What are if any some good Tobacco samplers to try to see what I like ??? Very overwhelming trying to start I have no idea what’s mild or medium or strong tobacco’s. When smoking cigars I prefer medium to strong Maduro that are nutty/wet hay/ dark cocoa/ creamy etc. any help in picking out some good tobacco varieties to try would be greatly appreciated

[@EnzoGorlami5497]

I just started both, and found a shop that has both! It’s great cause they have bulk pipe tobacco that sells in 1oz increments. I picked a few out and am working through them to find my favorite

[@OdnakoNatale]

Thanks 👍

[@recoveringknowitall1534]

yup. it truly is an art... and How great it art...:)

[@cubanchurchill]

Thanks for the tips

He looked so nervous about lighting it the second time with the jet lighter 4:52. Things people do to get views on YT lol.

thanks for that!

[@abramgrey2237]

Hey just wanna ask can i use any tobacco for smoking tobacco pipe.lemne know

[@claurenkim]

Agreed. Im an outdoor smoker and torch lighter always a big help.

[@joseferreira2809]

Nice!

[@theflyfishingnomad9641]

It’s nice to find pipe info from someone who doesn’t have a southern accent so thick it sounds like a foreign language. Thank you.

[@gio9767]

Get on with it man

[@marcelvidaurri1060]

Hey man is that lighter windproof?

[@georgesilverhawkstrailcame2297]

I’m in agreement, and use torch lighter whenever out doors… which is where I smoke my pipe 80% of the time. In my truck while out in the field (Wildlife Research) I will use my soft flame pipe lighter. Blessings to all. Aho!

[@baize82]

Guess I’m gonna have to try a torch. At this point, I’m thinking that pipe smoking isn’t for me because I just can’t get the thing to run right.

[@grownmanbusiness3273]

Using a torch flame is cool and all until you use it on a corn cob pipe 😂

[@Younniour]

all these guys that smokw frpm pipes r #good #looking

[@EspenFrafalne]

Torch is by far the best for lighting the newly packed pipe for the first time. Once it has gotten a good char, its pretty quick and easy to re-light it with a soft flame, but a torch works just as good.

[@dilley_esq]

I don’t smoke a pipe, but want to. This channel is very enjoyable. Here’s the trick question…which pipe should I buy first?! Haha

[@flyinmanatee118]

Buy a cob, ignore this guy and check out muttonchop on yt.

[@Laoch86]

Get a Peterson pipe from Ireland!

[@tanujSE]

Tobacco in me daily Tobacco me currency

[@dannysutherland4911]

😂 it’s not just the content of your videos, but the humorous delivery lol!! Good stuff!

[@86beeman]

You have to watch the video by Mr. Frank himself on the "Frank method " of packing and lighting a pipe.Old school 3 part video ( about 4 minutes each), painfully detailed but a great watch. It's too funny...but actually works well....and he uses a "burner" to light it so you'll be pleased.

[@mikeishome69]

Weed smoker here; Torch lighters have been the way for a long time. No reason to use a soft flame when you know you're gonna get hit by wind. With torches, you can light half of a bowl (for people who pass around their bong. I don't do this.), you can easily light the whole thing. Any argument that you'll damage the pipe is silly. I use torches on every pipe, dry, wet, cob, wood, bone, stone. You won't damage anything.

[@卂匚几]

Hey we have the same pipe!

[@DF1.j]

I hate soft flame lighters because if you outside you will be mad and in the end you will smock in another time 😂

[@russhicksart]

I want to see you do this with a big propane blow torch on full blast in a stiff wind with your favorite Bo Nordh :) As always this was painfully entertaining but as you point out Bing's are cheap and I must admit you have good control over that torch. I have lit a pipe with a torch before and for me it gets the tobacco too hot to taste right but that's just my opinion.

[@hobie1dog]

torch lighters is all I use, once you go there, you can't go back

[@RackwitzG]

Since I only smoke outside, mostly while walking my dog, I use a torch lighter. No problems so far and its quick and reliable. And to me pipes are disposable items. Don't need one to hand down my grandchilden....

[@WY-SP85]

You want to draw the flame in and down the bowl haha

[@SurrealisticSlumbers]

Does this apply to non-tobacco substances / herbs as well

[@countbasingstoke]

Enjoying your videos. Good dry sense of humour…… almost British in its manner 😂

[@hothmandon]

I've been smoking weed for over 10 years. I can honestly say packing a tobacco pipe is far different from packing a bowl or a bong.

[@TrudleR]

I think it is important to learn the theory. If you know it, you can start to degenerate it where you find it appropriate. This is what I do. It gives a good fundament and leaves it up to you from that point. You should know WHY is not advisable to use a torch lighter... But if you are aware of why, why not try it and see if it works for you? This whole thing is a journey and it's not like a pipe is some diamond treasure. Let it age alongside you! And still... Do the maintenance! No matter the price of your pipe.

[@rokojurjevic519]

🤘🏻💯

[@MrChamberlaindavidd]

You can already see the damage😂 Out.

[@robertmycroft8268]

Using a torch lighter will cause the pipe to explode... or, maybe, not.

[@InWithBothFeet]

I bet he uses 6lb sledge hammers to drive in thumb tacks too. Lil overkill there with the blowtorch. 🤣

[@t3kniqu3zgaming57]

Dig it man lol

[@tarekbensalah78]

Hello man

[@lepsychiatre8455]

Torch lighters are optimal imo, here's the reason why: You DONT burn the pipe, IF you only "toast" the tobacco. Like a cigar. Meaning you are only using the TIP of the flame. And not too long. So it just can't get too hot! Hell I even think that other lighters char the pipe more - as they need more and longer contact with the tobacco! Also you need to suck more intensely for an initial burn, thus making the smoke too hot. There is a reason that the inventor of the Frank method uses torches - it's just logical if done carefully!

[@Coop-yr3ds]

As a welder (or) of 30 years: being PRECISE and FAST 6:54 with 1300 degrees is less harmful than hovering repeatedly ( dumping BTU’s)at half that temperature ( match) at 2-5 seconds a pop. People playing it safe with BIC lighters aren’t at all.

[@tcphll]

I'll deal with the almost non-existent inconvenience of a soft flame to not damage my pipes. I appreciated you're OK with the risk, but to me, the risk/reward ratio isn't worth it. I've never had a problem lighting my pipes with a soft flame in my 30 years of smoking. Maybe you just need more practice. :)

[@guccisega]

Because a real man smokes inside his house, I use a match and have no problems with the flame going out mid light.

[@thomasowens3135]

The butane changes the flavor of the tobacco. So I guess you like that chemical flavor. Makes a video saying he’s showing us the art of it and immediately biffs it…
