Three Friars ... in a monastery

[@TheFlameTop]

Your efforts in featuring area's around Germany are most appreciated kind Sir' !

[@johannasselborn8435]

Love your videos for getting to see bits and pieces of lovely Germany. Danke dir!

[@gratefulpipeandcigar3239]

That was so nice. You can’t beat a tobacco lesson and a monastery lesson.

[@chipc4936]

Such an enjoyable video. Danke! I truly find your style satisfying. Well done!

[@jwestl3y]

Greetings from America! Very cool to see some German countryside in a great pipe smoking video, very jealous

[@jebiddavis6560]

Mark, Thank You!!!!! I enjoy your videos so much!!!!!

[@globalprayerwarriorsgroup2204]

Hi, from Puerto Rico.love your videos..your historic information

[@ParsimoniousPiper]

Both the drizzly, wet day and the setting remind me so much of our village in Germany as a kid. Seems like it rained every day, but it was lovely nevertheless.

[@Heywoodthepeckerwood]

Your voice and your accent is very interesting. I’ve been watching all your videos from the beginning. Great insights sir.

[@chrismorley3074]

Very Interesting Video. I love that Meerschaum Pipe So Much..!!

[@PilgrimPiper]

I appreciate your effort very much. Peace be with you

[@citizentom787]

God bless you Mein Herr. Very interesting history of the monastery.

[@OnceUponAPipe]

Mark, I always enjoy your vids, the history you give and the stories you tell. Thank you my friend!

[@4one6Piper]

Maybe under complex...I dated some girls like that. But they all had some pros. 😉🤣 Thanks for the review and the history. Never had it. Have a fantastic 2021 Mark!

[@Stabby__]

Very cool!

[@rockinsteady406]

It's really great to see you again Mark. Thanks for your videos. Highlight in my day. -David

[@kllkreisligalegende5507]

I really like your style of smoking! Your concept is also great, please keep going! I love both, your history and tobacco lessons on location and in your cosy bothy

[@joshuacole1523]

Hey Mark, great video my friend. I watched your interview with the pipe club and it was great to hear about how you started pipe smoking. Love your videos my friend. Take care and hope to see you again soon.

[@anthonymackintosh4776]

Glad to see you safe and well mark hope it stays that way. We are in full lockdown here in the uk so a good excuse to go to my cabin with a pipe. smoking some cob plug watching you, yet another interesting video thank you stay safe my friend

[@curtbradley549]

Great stuff ,really enjoy your tour and talks !! Cheers , all the best .

[@deckard97th]

Happy New Year! Great rainy day video - wonderful place to live back then. Nice new stem on your meerschaum - love those straight billiards. Happy smokes to you!

[@peter-radiantpipes2800]

New Bremen video. Woohoo. Thx Mark! Enjoyed interview on Virtual Pipe Club and you convinced me to buy my first meerschaum a couple months ago. Now I’ve got 4. Love em. Smoking a meer Dublin with Full Virginia Flake in it now. Also got into making larger wood tampers. Lol.

[@davejardine8493]

Great hat and pipe

[@guspisano9777]

Hello, Mark. Glad to see you out and about again. There are several presenters I enjoy on a regular basis, but your posts are the ones I look forward to the most. Our tastes in tobacco are very similar. Also, here in the States we don't have the long history that you have on the continent so you're knowledge and ability to give insight into these locations make for very interesting viewings. Hope you are well and have a great year

[@JT-py9lv]

Thank you Mark, another great, long overdue video.

[@gordonrobinson8771]

Always Great historic content . Finding isolated areas aid in the content .

[@notapipesmoker49]

Nice to see you again, Mark! Great review in a beautiful place! It's remarkable that you upload a new video the same day with Corey and both of them in a church/monastery! I enjoy your video with a big bowl of G&H Bosun Flake. Be well! Gregory

[@michaelparks8518]

I'm going to have to wait until after work to watch this video but it's nice to have you back sir. I'm always excited to wake up and see that you have uploaded a new video. Happy New Year and keep up the good work!

[@handsomedan1997]

Another great video. What a cool location. Thanks Mark and hope you have a great 2021!

[@ariegepipesmoker897]

good to see you back, that weather reminds me of when I used to live in England! Take care

[@iman13591359]

Thank you for the tour! Happy new year. have a good smokes ....

[@t.greggmcclain6538]

"Perhaps, all the obstacles in one video." LOL. Indeed. Another fine video, nonetheless. I always seem to enjoy, no matter what. And, I agree with you that humanity may not have much further to fall. Yet, it's never the falling that hurts. it is the abrupt halt at the end that does the damage. And, anyways, in my mind, we may be in a tumble rather than a free fall.. So, hopefully, we just come out with a few bruises. And, then we brush it off and continue along. So nice to see you this year. So, whatever the traditional New Year wish is in Germany, I extend to you. And, as we say in New York City - Happy New Year, Mark.

[@bonapiper5827]

Always a pleasure to see and listen to you Mark. Best wishes for 2021.

[@johnrfeeney]

so looked forward to your next video- ❤️❤️❤️🙂

[@danawatkins3634]

[@MeerschaumMaven]

As always great video.....beautiful pipe.

[@danielgr4519]

Such a nice place. Thank you for the tour! Happy new year!

[@UnclePhilsCellar]

You made me cold just watching you Mark. Great video as usual, take care and hope to hear from you soon. All the best, Phil

[@fucanaoasis2000]

hell of an intro

[@blinde_tapes]

So happy to see a new vid from you, Mark. Thank you so much for making it. It was watching you that made me try filtered pipes. Despite what I suspected, I loved it. It made me enjoy tobaccos more, stopped tearing up my mouth nearly as much, and sort of "forced" me into being a better pipe smoker. As a history enthusiast...your videos are my absolute favorite. My only criticism is that they aren't weekly! (But this is out of pure selfishness.) Thanks so much for doing what you do, whether the baccy reviews (you've turned me on to MANY of my newfound favorite blends), or the history. You make the history you discuss so engaging to viewers who may not already be enthusiasts. I once wanted to be a professor like you. Unfortunately the world we live in has made me give up on academia for a multitude of reasons (which I'm sure you can guess a few of, lol). I often think of how lucky your students must be! Whether discussing Saxon pit houses and graves, Boniface himself, or Bremen and it's ports, you truly do an excellent job! Please keep it up! (apologies for my horrible punctuation its very late here!)

[@SmokingCardboard]

Great video. Thanks for sharing the tobacco and monastery

[@jasonbradshaw5743]

Happy New Year Mark, Great to see another video of yours. Thank you for your efforts. It's time to go have a good smoke! Take care.

[@scottm.4717]

Mark, greetings for the new year. Nice to finally see a new video from you. As always a great informative video, I love it. Until next time.

[@sandman6617]

Good to see another great video and review. Wonder about the availability of Esoterica Stonehaven in Germany. A wonderful tobacco and you won’t regret reviewing. Cheers again from Michigan....

[@Losantiville]

I tend to buy C&D for three months later. I like the robustness of Three friars. Really love it. Just crack a tin of Three nuns green , they’re different. I really appreciate a farm meal and fine dining. Three Friars is more a farm meal.

[@tabacosbebidasecultura6050]

Hey Mark.... Glad to see you, sir. Nice place! Happy 2021. Cheers from Bahia Brazil South America.

[@The-man-with-the-many-pipes]

Hello! Happy new Year, beautiful Video thx ✌

[@challengerdart3731]

Great vid Bremen. Thanks a lot. I loved you interview, amazing. Have a great week-end ahead and a very Happy New year!

[@haroldwallace5051]

Happy new year Mark. Very happy to see another one of your history lessons. Great video as usual. Take care

[@andrefialho2362]

Great video as always. Beautiful Meerschaum and let me tell you that I absolutely loved the Mayser hat. Got to confess that from watching your videos so much I’ve found myself copying you cool all black attire style sometimes: good looking and minimalist! Almost forgot, great review as always! Thanks for making the videos. Stay safe.

[@briarbroom2668]

hi, I've just nominated you to join in the chain of 5 tobacco blends and 3 nominations...not sure how happy you are about that...but I guess you will make a very nice review...thanks

[@RobertoSanchez-ck8cw]

Greetings from Southern California and Happy New Year Professor. God bless.

[@kpgora666]

Great video as always! Thanks for the content!

[@planexshifter]

Heya fellow pipers! I recently inherited 4 old pipes from my fathers friend. I was named after this fellow and now I have his pipes! They are beautiful and well made pipes but I cannot find much information about them. They all say “Brewster” “Imported Briar” They would have been used around 1960-1970. If anyone knows anything about these old Brewster pipes, please let me know.

[@Pfeifenraucher_der_Insel]

Hola Mark. First: "Feliz año nuevo para ti y tu seres queridos!" It is a very nice, contemplative place, this monastery and the rain there is almost the same as we have now on our island. It's been raining here for two days and for the next three days, just a little harder than a hurricane. The Three Friars seem to be a very good tobacco. I like these three components and when the perique is in the foreground I like it all the more. The stamp looks very good. It's better than the original. Now it's like a new pipe. Keep care during this time my friend. Best regards from GC Insel. Michael

[@MaBra02]

Hallo Michael Da bin ich doch gerade zufällig auf dieses Video von Mark gestoßen. Mein Englisch ist leider nicht so gut, das ich mir jedes Video von ihm anschaue. Hier ist mir aber gleich in den ersten Sekunden aufgefallen, das ich doch die Gegend wo er noch Auto fährt irgendwie bekannt vorkommt. Ich wohne nur ca. 10 km entfernt. Da ist er wohl tatsächlich aus Bremen extra für diese Video angereist. Ich glaube mich zu erinnern, das du mal in einem älteren Video von ihm in den Kommentaren geschrieben hast, das du wohl auch aus der Nähe kommst. Kann das sein? Grüße, Marko

[@Chriscyng50]

Hi Mark, Happy New Year too you as well. Stay safe now.

[@dogmile9397]

A happy new beginning Mark

[@paulp5162]

Happy New Year! Another great video and history lesson!

[@OLEGHOMETV]

Good to see you Mark.

[@jackjr1]

Sir, I hope you keep making videos for a long time to come

[@portlandpipesmoker8497]

Greetings Mark my friend! This might have felt like a frustrating video, but I really enjoyed it. It is ironic that our two videos uploaded the same day were very similar. Even more ironic is that I had plans to make a video at a monastery not far from here with C&D Three Friars this Spring or when I could make it happen. Actually was going to do that this last year, but the pandemic interrupted many of my video plans. Not sure if I'll do it now or not....we'll see! Great video, you're right on about the tobacco...really enjoy it myself. And a beautiful monastery and interesting history. We'll talk soon...much to talk about.... Take care, Corey

[@rjbfx]

Love this channel

[@JoaquinKiley]

I love the stem.

[@oldandintheway1955]

A very enjoyable video Mark, 3 Friars sounds like a solid everyday smoke. Did they produce anything of note there at that monastery? Like beer perhaps? Happy New Year to you and yours my friend. May 2021 be very kind to you.

[@dalepiper6693]

Loved this video Mark. 3 Friars sounds like a tobacco I would like to try and those wonderfully preserved monastic building were most interesting. Have you ever visited Durham Cathedral which was also a Benedictine monastery before the Reformation in England? (Enjoyed your most interesting interview on the Virtual Pipe Club channel) All the best for 2021.

[@littlefatmorgan3343]

Cool plaec man

[@tillerman7oh870]

Sent ya an email my friend. Love your videos, let me know your thoughts when you have a minute. Appreciate it! Glad you are well, happy new year to ya.

[@malleus1881]

Nothing worse than rainy winter weather, we got it here too... but some good pipe tobacco can make it tolerable.

[@THERE4fabrications]

Do you mind my asking, what do you do as a profession? My guess a university professor? Happy New Year! Cheers! Hey the bell ringing at the end was epic! Great pipe smoking weather! Great video, thank you!

[@bremenpipesmoker6571]

... medieval history and philosophy. Thanks for taking the time and good words! Truly appreciated! Take care and be well! Mark

[@joelpenazzo7248]

Great video as usually.. But how do you manage to smoke under the rain ☔🤔? Maybe pipe upside down like old photos with fishermen 🙃 Happy new year Take care Joël

[@RamSkirata]

Dear Mark, Thank you for the effort, that you put into all of this! Some time ago, you said you would do a guide to Zippo inserts. Is that still your plan? I am still waiting and looking forward to it! :)

[@michaelsease1342]

Great to see you Mark. Really enjoyed your chat with the virtual pipe club. Do you have many working monasteries in Germany?

[@daddyrich2982]

Hey Mark, I'd like to ask you about your ring. What if any is the significance of wearing a ring on your left middle finger? The reason I asked is because I have seen another guy wearing a ring on the same finger. Thanks!

[@ik1245]

What's the pipe you had in the car, between your teeth. It's a great shape, but if you don't mind letting us know ... (possibly a meerschaum?). Thanks.

[@52dislikes]

3 FRYERS,... no wonder there are no more chickens

[@robertocatrone715]

Hello, Happy New Year!!! Have you ever smoked a reverse calabash pipe. I find that style of pipe gives a bit of a different flavor to whatever pipe tobacco i smoke. Hope you can give it a go and do a video on it. take care stay healthy.

[@bo6eeba]

What is brand of your pipe ?

[@churchether]

Is that a s.yanik meerschaum? I have one in exactly that shape, but with a very yellow "special' wax

[@dane6k6]

Hope you have a great 2021.

[@u.p.heathen7407]

I was wondering what you think of srv meerschaum or if you have any experience with their pipes? Hope all is well in Germany!

[@casspipercassidy4297]

Is that a fedora or a Homburg?

Everything ok, it's been a while since your last video

[@bremenpipesmoker6571]

Sorry Dave...for being so late...on your (much appreciated!) question...and on a new video.. I'm alright...and wanted to do a video for several weeks now...but heavy snow and ice hit us...and I just couldn't reach the destination, I had in mind...lol Take care, my friend! See you soon! Mark

Hi Mark, would it be possible to ask you if you could by any chance to send me one or two of your great tappers? I am trying to find your email contact for so long but unfortunately I can not. That is the reason I am sending you this post. I am a dedicated viewer of your videos and I would like to thank you so much for all the great information you provide us. Keep healthy.
