as a 64 yr old and Pipe Smoker, I have to say, you give me a lot of hope son. "May the good Lord take a likin' toward ya"

[@gearup9503]

I'm 22 years old, growing up my Grandfather told me stories on his life and I loved it. I started building a cabin and started smoking a pipe. Thanks for the video cheers.

[@assass7012]

How do you go about building a cabin

[@gearup9503]

@@assass7012 Well maybe not a traditional cabin with wood logs, but I've been converting a shed into a cabin.

[@stefanomagaddino6868]

There's a great line in "Father of the Bride", where Spencer Tracy comments to his future son-in-law how and why he likes smoking a pipe. He says how smoking a pipe at the end of the day seems to slow everything down. Great little scene by a great actor.

[@bogbel1]

80 year old pipe smoking guy here and I agree with everything you said. Maybe there's still hope. I've seen this country just fall apart in the last 20 years. Maybe the next generation can save us because the USA needs a miracle.

[@user-ld6ot3pw1s]

I'm just a bit older than you and bought my first pipe when I was 16 - how about you?

[@bogbel1]

Hi there. Can't remember exactly but I was between 16 and 18 years old. I also remember asking my parents permission to smoke a pipe and they said fine. They both smoked cigarettes and were probably happy I didn't ask permission to start cigarettes. My favorite tobacco back then was Briggs which is long since gone. @@user-ld6ot3pw1s

[@Dolmio24]

Pipe smoking is one of very few traditional pleasures left to modern man. It's not all about being connected to the past, though I admit that is some of the appeal, after all we all here like a good bowl of quality tobacco and wouldn't continue to enjoy our pipes if it tasted bad. At the same time it's a good thing from time to time to look on back and consider heritage and the old ways. If you want to romanticise it you could say that the pipe represents wisdom, enlightenment and free thinking which in this world today is desperately needed.

[@user-ld6ot3pw1s]

I love to see young men smoking pipes - takes me back to when I bought my first when I was 16

[@KarlHeckman]

I'm not a young man, but I feel you in connecting to the past. That Parker hammer gun on your wall is an excellent way to do that! Well done.

[@nickbrackett9023]

When you said desperate for a connection to the past, you hit it right on the head. That's pretty much the exact reason I got my pipe and I didn't even know it. The way the world is now makes it easy to want to go back to simpler times. Cheers friend and God bless you✌️

[@sunset3052]

Agree

[@mndfst9433]

I'm only 30, started smoking pipes a year ago coming from cigars (which I still smoke occasionally). I started cause I remember my dad smoking it when I was a kid. It smelled great, and he looked so relaxed. I was always curious about it, and so I just jumped in one day. I liked the focus needed to keep up with it and the ability and skill to control your own experience. It then evolved into meditation and opened me up to a community of people who also enjoy the hobby.

[@jespiping]

Great chat today Kirk!!👍have a great weekend 😊 take care

Hard times create strong men.Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men.Weak men create hard times.

[@md3631363]

Great looking pipe and well said.

[@jackmercer4244]

I picked up pipe smoking last year, I was inspired by George Lincoln Rockwell. I love the scent of aromatics. And I was reminded how much I liked blowing soap bubbles with a pipe when I was a kid lol Back in early 2k, I worked at marina boat rental department, I had free access to motorboats and sailboats. I got into sailing, but never motor-boating. No challenge in motor-boat and too noisy. I think now that I've been an old soul all along.

[@Stillypapabear]

A friend recently made the following observation: “my generation (Boomers) and my dad’s suffered emotional constipation. You had to be tough and not share your feelings. My dad didn’t talk about his experiences in WWII. Today’s generation has emotional diarrhea. It’s all about MY feelings”

[@TheGentlemanScholar]

And speaking of facts, we need The Fairness Doctrine back in our media outlets.

[@sloth_e]

Im 49 and alot of what i do, along with smoking a pipe, i do to connect to the passed. The 100 years of mid 18s to mid 19s. Although the mid 17s appeal to me aswell. A person individual life was lived deliberately and every tool was precious, every crafted item had soul and was intended to last and materials were a major part in that.

[@TruckinPiperBob]

The simpler life is a better life, for mind body and soul Such wise words from you

[@sunset3052]

👍

[@HoosierCodger]

Great video. I hope and pray we wake up soon. Thanks for sharing.

[@deandochterman8182]

Right on, brother!

[@RamblinJan]

Hey brother! Thank you for your addition to this topic - Of course it caught my attention with the title. But yes… a lot of us have been finding the modern age to be counterfeit of what it really should be!

[@darrylweartpipingancamping]

I agree with your opinion , connecting with my past 50s & 60s. 👍👍👍

[@stovepipe1863]

Man that pipe came out nice I’ve never seen one like it. You made that chip disappear.

[@mathiascreed1143]

Good stuff, love to see somebody like you these days! Enjoy the heck out of that pipe! I just finished a bowl of Prince Albert before bed, I like Carter hall too but it’s been a few years- I’m gonna grab a pouch or maybe even a bucket! God bless you

[@rotatmuzik8346]

i agree with your opinion , i'm 15 i have a very big collection of old things such as pipes , coins , oil lamps etc and you might say its bad etc but i do smoke cigars and pipes in reason , i enjoy good quality cigars that i often ejoy with my friends sitting down by the lake or a pipe in the forest or whilst camping ,some say that its bad and healthwise i must agree but it is such a nice and relaxing moment so im not inclined to stop anytime soon ,i will only stop if i get addicted as long as im not i will smoke ,never cigarettes tho ,that stuff ruins you.

[@mikemacelfresh4532]

Love your content. Keep it up

[@markinri1877]

Great video and thoughts! Definitely time for a re-set! 👊👍😎

[@BrutalEnough]

A very interesting video! Yes, a connection to the past...for sure! (I just had to think of a song called "the good old times, when times were bad" 😉 and yes, emotions can be easily manipulated...you see it in politics, talk shows etc etc... and very true words concerning history!

[@PaladinPiper]

Back to the day of Faith Family and Pipe Smoking. 😉

[@stefanomagaddino6868]

Kirk, you're a modern day C.S. Lewis ! Parsimonious Piper would be proud.

[@SlaytonRider]

I think it’s just nice to slow down with a pipe not to mention the little details involved with preparing and smoking the pipe idk why but it’s really enjoyable and hell it tastes great but I also agree that a nostalgia for a time that we weren’t even apart of and a rejection of modernity has some part of it as well

[@markchoate9021]

Kirk, this is my first time to see one of your videos. I am in my sixties and a member of the "baby-boomer" generation. I have to say to hear you say this at your young age, does me a lot of good and makes me think there is hope yet. I've been told that I was born in the wrong century as I embrace the old ways, too. Sure glad to hear someone of your age group realize the value to the "old ways." I'll bet that the "1861" in your moniker has to do with an interest that you have in the Civil War as that is the year it began. Anyway, thank you for this video. It was not depressing, it was needed. If you lose any subscribers for speaking this wisdom, then you haven't lost much. You've gained at least one with me. Take care.

[@Baldpipesmoker]

Hey man! I agree with you 100%! Society has taken a turn for the worse. We just need to keep fighting the good fight. Cheers from Canada!

[@dirtyboxxxpipesandcigars2021]

Great insight! I absolutely agree!🔥🔥🔥💨💨💨👊🏽

[@DemocratsRGroomers]

I didn't know pipe smoking was making a comeback.🤔 I am fairly new to pipe smoking myself.😁👍

[@nickbrackett9023]

next video: why old people are vaping

[@CarnivoreChris89]

Good session, wise words!

[@matthewmosley4325]

You had me at Carter Hall😉😉. Nice looking pipe and great topic, I couldn't agree more. Mattmosleymusic AND OTC Piper approved!! 😁😁

[@colekmiller1]

The part about feelings is spot on. Learning to separate oneself from your feelings is a powerful thing!

[@TheBigDuece]

I’ve watched a handful of your videos over the past three or four weeks. I’m subscribing to your channel because you did say it. James

[@PipeMan1861]

Appreciate the support!

[@BlakesPipes]

well said sir!

[@marshallk4355]

Amen brother!! Everyone needs to stop being so up tight about everything and mind their own trouble's that are right in front of their big noses . Tobacco isn’t the enemy stupid people who are uninformed are. Those who forget and destroy their history are doomed!

[@yusufsayed1583]

Good Morning 😊 Awesome Pipe and Carter Hall , my daughter loves that blend 😉 Beautiful Content👌🏽Thanks for sharing your Two Cents 😂Have a wonderful weekend 🤗 Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦

[@ParsimoniousPiper]

I hope you’re right. We could use more young men thinking for themselves and finding a valuable connection with the past.

[@armchairpiper]

Excellent. Ed

[@benniebarrow348]

I'm glad to see this trend in the younger generation to lean toward common sense and fact based decision making. We need it to take hold and grow substantially in order to revive this country and stop this slide into a cultural abyss. Moral decay is rampant and America is damn sure worth saving. Hang in there young ones , your more important than you realize.

[@brad7957]

I'm 28 and despite working online as a web developer, I really dislike most of the internet. The validation, attention seeking, the political correctness etc. I live in the UK but I wish I could move to rural America and live an old-style life. Also you're right - facts don't care about your feelings! I sense you're a fellow conservative :)

[@AsadAli-jc5tg]

Conservatism is as bad as Liberalism is, they both are Right Wing ideologies.

[@algonquinbriar5647]

Very well done. Be well.

[@alandoods]

New sub hear buddy from Scotland

[@SpaghettoLive]

After my grandpa passed, I got his pipes. Maybe I shouldn't have picked up a bad habit, but it sure is nice to sit and puff and think about nothing.

[@gew1898]

Preach.

[@kamoboko86]

"Enslaved"

[@thedunedain2155]

Well done, also men had more freedom to be men back then so when you smoke a pipe you have a sense of freedom .

[@japanfanatic1415]

maybe you did lose some subscribers over that but you just earned one right here!

[@darthbiden8675]

i agree, i dont pipe smoke, but i do enjoy the occasional cigarette, it reminds me of my grandpa, he would always be working on something with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth.

[@goldentwilight1944]

Yes, I agree with you, the pipe gives us an avenue to escape the absurdities of modern life, it is counter-cultural. In a world that seems to celebrate falsehoods and garbage culture. Also, another reason is it is medicine in a life of perpetual busyness, chaotic driving, sleep deprivation, and diminishing leisure time.

[@torgomax]

Subscribing👍

[@williamkaczmarek3996]

What kind of pipe is that?

[@PipeMan1861]

It's a Bakelite pipe with a removable briar bowl, made by the Reiss-Premier company in the 1920s

[@13pipes]

Good chat, If you loose subscribers over that video, that would be the ones with less then 2 brain cells. Enjoy your smokes!

[@GraveDawgg]

I rly wish the legal age was still 18 I’m feeling frustrated that I’m going to have to wait 3 more years to smoke tobacco

[@philipsabasino6051]

There is much to be said about us BROTHERS OF THE LEAF

[@cohiba1982]

Well the country fell in one generation, we are after the fall, the “fuck you I got mine generation” took this country for everything it had and didn’t save a penny for the future in every way possible. But I agree pipe smoking is a connection to the past even though very little tobacco is now grown here. It may also be that people are seeing that all that talk of millions of deaths due to smoking tobacco was nonsense just like everything else they preach on the idiot tube.

[@BetterManTobacco]

I figure I might do a video about cigar smoking being picked up by the younger generation.

[@japanfanatic1415]

i am not opposed to tobacco or cannabis

[@shinjikokonishi9592]

Are there more young people smoking pipes now? ?

[@PipeMan1861]

Certainly seem to be, yes!

[@TheTunnellTake]

People simply want freedom! 😊😊😊😊 In a feminized society it's all about feelings. What a great video! Making foolish people mad is necessary now!😊😊

[@brandonsimensky1055]

i agree dude u gained a sub for one u may have lost my opinion it was well lost keep with ur beliefs

[@SMarcey]

My brother in christ, disenfranchisement from too much "political correctness" is not the reason younger people are coming to pipe smoking. Rejecting modernity? Certainly, but you being mad you cant say the N word or not being able to openly be bigoted to the queer community is not the reason people are taking up the pipe again. Thats your own shit. Its purely nostalgia. Smoking will always be cool and relaxing. Vapes are lame.

[@PipeMan1861]

I certainly agree vapes are lame😂 But be very careful presuming what I am mad about, and by your comment, I very much doubt you're my brother in Christ, which should always be spelled with a capital C to show Him proper respect. All that said, you're entitled to your opinion, as I am entitled to mine. Just be sure to share it in a civil manner.
