Winter tobaccos 2023 ... at the cottage

...just some short reviews about several winter tobaccos ... at the cottage...

[@RedcoatsReturn]

Wonderful! Mark my friend…your reviews at Christmas and winter tobaccos is a crown jewel of ytpc 😄👍👍 Its the definitive guide for those tobaccos 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😊 Have a lovely, jolly and festive start to the Christmas season…and…all your loved ones too! 😊🎄☃️🎅🏻😉💨💨💨

[@samuellefischer9596]

Mark you dry, sarcastic humor never fails to make me laugh, especially during this Christmas time of year. God bless you this new year!

[@RayK_New_York]

Mark, we look forward to your next YTPC release. Always, I exit your videos a wiser man than the one that entered. Rare serendipity, indeed. Thank you for your time, dedication, and commitment to excellence.

[@bremenpipesmoker6571]

Thank you so much for that, my friend! Appreciated by heart! Hang in... working on a new video! Take care and be well! Mark

[@berettaEarlofCheesesteak]

I seriously thought today “I wish he had a new video to watch”. Thank you.

[@thomasmaguire834]

Have been away from your vids for some time so I stopped by for a visit. We are presently mourning the recent passing of my long-time canine companion, Max. Daily walkers, our daughter calculated that we must have walked the distance from Western NY to Bejing, China. We would have reached Bremen (sp.) easily! She lamented Max couldn’t smoke a pipe with me. You lifted my sorrow for a while. Thanks so much.

[@chipc4936]

What a delightful video! I'm so glad you shot it at the cottage instead of at Ronnie's with all the commotion and distractions. Danke schön

[@natemills6220]

Can't wait to listen in! Always love the cozy winter cottage videos and tobacco talk

[@JT-py9lv]

So nice to see your cottage again.

[@wrkane]

A true Yule Tradition my friend 🎄. Thank you for taking the time, a perfect setting in the cottage with a fire going. Take care Mark. All the Best, William

[@hansformat]

This is always my favorite of your videos. Simply hilarious.

[@markinri1877]

Christmas time would not be the same without your wonderful winter tobacco video!! 👍🎄🎅 I enjoyed it very much as always and I will watch it again! Thank you so much my brother again and wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 🎅🎄🍾🍾👍👊😎

[@Pfeifenraucher_der_Insel]

Hola Mark, that was once again an extraordinary mammoth task💪. Very well done👌. I'll probably stick with the Traditionol nº3 and the Autom which I have right now.. Maybe the Larsen and the K+K Winter 2023 will be added. Thanks for the great overview. Have a peaceful and healthy Christmas🎄. Best wishes from the 🌞🏝. Michael

[@joelcatron5261]

Well Hi there . For a while I've been meaning to thank you for all of your work , for all of the fine videos . So thank you !

[@andreaskaschny]

Hi Mark, Bremen is really a village. So small that I preferred to take the train there last time😂. There's just chaos on the streets. Thanks for the reviews, it saves me a lot of money. I only got the Larsen and the Tradition 3. But I have to try the Autumn. I wish you a merry Christmas and send me a few pizzas from the Art15 gallery in Schnoor. I'm addicted to them now. Greetings Andreas

[@Pfeifenraucher_der_Insel]

Once again we are almost on the same track my dear friend 😁

[@michaelcase8574]

Mark, your holiday tobacco reviews are a fantastic early Christmas gift to your friends at the YTPC! I'm glad you could find at least a few of these tobaccos smokeable.

[@adamcfmacdonald]

Wonderful to have another seasonal review. And wonderful to see the cottage again. Thank you.

[@Hey-Googootz]

Really enjoyed your reviews Mark. Thank you and 'keep on Choo-Chinn'

[@KlajniKleiner]

Marry Christmas Sir. Thank you for your movies.

[@sandrofazzolari8833]

Dear Mark, I have and never will miss this review video! You continue to provide great and entertaining content on these blends. 😂Your comments are very funny and informative. FYI I have never bought any aromatic Christmas 🎄 special editions since I was gifted one back in 2010. I still have some somewhere 😮. But as Lester and others have said: “Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas 🎄 without your holiday special edition review.” Thanks Danke Grazie 🙏 Bravo 👏 ciao 👋 S. Ps: I tried an octomore whisky 🥃 wow😅really intense. Cheers !

[@didhatz]

thanks for the great video!

[@Nighttrainpiper]

Danke schön for the reviews, Mark. And Merry Christmas!

[@bremenpipesmoker6571]

Merry Christmas to you too, my friend! Take care and be well! Mark

[@davidparker4649]

thanks for your video, may you have a joyful Christ Mass good health to you all, and a very good 2024

[@joelpenazzo7248]

Hi Sir. I DO love Cornell and Diehl automn evening.. But also others from the brand (haunted bookshop. Old Joe krantz.. But they are not exactly aromatics!!) Thanks for your videos Be well Joël

[@daddyrich2982]

Hey Mark, haven't seen a recent video from you. Hope you are doing well, miss seeing you.

[@bremenpipesmoker6571]

Thank you so much for that, my friend! Don't worry... and hang in... working on a new video! Take care and be well! Mark

[@arcadegamesify]

Hey I took a few year long hiatus from piping and haven't stumbled into a video of yours in years, happy you're still making them. I hope you're healthy and doing well.

[@CentralCalPiper]

Hello! I really enjoyed watching your tobacco review, even though I live in the U.S. and don’t have access to any of these blends. It was still fun to watch and listen to. Thanks!

[@josephfarah1264]

I always love your videos, I am impressed by your pipe, can you give us some background on it. Thanks and merry Christmas

[@JBParry]

Merry Christmas Mark, I loved your comments and enjoyed a smoke with you. Thanks, John

[@matthewpipe2769]

Yeh, that's pleasant ambiente by the fireplace! The end of the video was a surprsie to me, becasue I have also in mind W.O. and sound interesting to me this year. Thank you for a great review and nice presentation. Have a great winter days and a blessed Christmas! M.

[@thorgrim2010]

Hope you had a great Christmas and New Year, and that 2024 brings many opportunities for the communal art of P-S. Many thanks for your 2023 output, it is appreciated for quality, humour and acute observations. Cheers Mark

[@bremenpipesmoker6571]

Thank you so much for that! Much appreciated by heart! Take care and be well! Mark

[@atnoahshouse]

Absolutely love your videos. They are so relaxing to watch. Having a pipe along with you is rather enjoyable. They are saying that we will be able to buy HU tobacco in the US this year. I can’t wait……

[@bremenpipesmoker6571]

Thank you so much for that! Truly appreciated! Take care and be well! Mark

[@keypnchr]

Merry Christmas from Texas. This is one of the Christmas gifts I wanted to see this year - glad you got it posted.

[@lectordawn6192]

Hey Mark! Great video. Am a fellow Hanseatic Neuighbor from Luebeck and love watching your videos. Great reviews. I live abroad now with mainly access to the US market and you are definetly right by saying: we always crave what we can't have! Will have to give Autumn Evening a try now! Thanks for bringing bit of christmas flair with your cottage setup. Greatings from accross the pond and hope you have a faboulous christmas time!

[@Sean-vz7zw]

My favourite Christmas pipe video each year, unfortunately living in the UK we don’t have these tobaccos, happy Christmas to you and your family 🙏

[@mpeter1439]

Hello Mark, Thanks for the video, very good to see as always. Best wishes from Hungary, Merry Christmas and good health for you and your family.

[@Der_Kleine_Mann]

Just wanted to say thank you for all the great content that you presented to us since so many years now. Absolutely amazing👏 And I wish you and your loved ones all the best🎉

[@user-cm9mu3hm6i]

Merry Christmas Mark. These are MY FAVORITE videos. I love the warming welcome of your living room cottage. My eyes immediately focus on your fire place and Im mesmerized by the swinging pendulum of your clock. Albeit I am very much not an aromatic smoker I do very much appreciate your honest and humble opinion. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos.

[@peterfriedenspfeife9230]

Dear Mark, thank you for your annual sacrifice (wait, let's not forget the Easter/Spring editions! 😅). It was very relaxing to listen to you (well, I didn't have to smoke these mixtures), and it was a pleasure to see you in your cottage. Stay well and have a happy new year, Peter

[@algonquinbriar5647]

Hello Mark. Nice to see you again. Many thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas and be well.

[@timrobinson9828]

Mark, you're one of the best. Always love your content. A very Merry Christmas to you and yours!

[@bremenpipesmoker6571]

Thank you so much for that, my friend! Much appreciated! Take care and be well! Mark

[@challengerdart3731]

Excellent, excellent vid Bremen. Thanks a lot. Happy Christmas foy you and yours. Have a great week.

[@rshoemaker61]

Mark a very nice review. I really like your cottage reviews it looks like such a warm and inviting space. Have a wonderful Christmas! 🎄

[@franciscoalmeida4514]

Hi, M. Mark I'm smoking a lovely bowl and seeing your video, carry on the good reviews cheers.

[@michaelcase8574]

Nice to see you back at the cottage. Looks like a nice quiet get away. As for me, my Christmas blend is any tobacco where I place a few grains of frankensense on top of the coals. Thanks for the great video my friend!

[@papiper7773]

Merry Christmas Mark,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Love all your videos...............Take care my friend.

[@rpseitzancientcoins7084]

Thank you for taking the time to review and share your thoughts on these tobacco choices. Many of those choices I will be trying, especially the one that has a childhood reminder flavor of the old Hubba Bubba Gum. Thank you again.

[@doramc3155]

I deeply appreciate your humble 2 cents! Saves me the trouble. Merry Christmas to you and yours✌️🔥🎄

[@flyfishingpiper4976]

So nice to site at my vise and tie some flys and listen to your discussion. I will hope for Ronnie's safety into the new year after selling all that burnt rubber. Hope you have a safe and happy Christmas!

[@culpepper7665]

The German Christopher Walken.... Keep the content coming.

[@stephanelambert5658]

Excellent ! happy Holidays time.🔥💨 From Montréal (Québec)👌

[@oleberg615]

Good to see you Choochin on all the fine Xmas tobaccos my friend, great video I hope you have a blessed Christmas and new year my friend 👊

[@georgetiedemann1537]

Thanks for the review of those winter tobaccos. Have a Merry Christmas 🎄 and many happy smokes my friend.

[@amongtheruin1]

I really enjoy your videos. There's some tins I'd really like to try, but can't get them where I am. We want what we can't have.....so true. Merry Christmas to you.

[@OnceUponAPipe]

Hey Mark! This was one of my favorite review videos I've seen in a while. There were some times you even had my wife laughing! Great job, as always! And I'm going to shout this vid out on my next video.😎

[@bremenpipesmoker6571]

Thank you so much for that, my friend! Always so great, to have you here! God bless, my friend! And be well! Mark

[@matthewgabbard6415]

Good to see you Mark. A Teutonic delight, as always haha. Happy Holidays

[@churchether]

Greetings from Norway. What a beautiful Altinay professor. It was a great pleasure to share in the cottage experience here. I'm not much into the aromatics but I still enjoy watching your videos about them. You mention that one of the blends is not "a lonely island blend", well, what is your choice for a lonely island blend? Mine would have been a local stg shag cut Virginia Kentucky called "Tiedemanns gul miks", Have a great December 🎅

[@welshpiper62]

K&K Spend more money on the tin designs rather than trying to keep our tobaccos fresh. Thanks Mark for another top video wishing you and your family all the best seasonal greetings . Happy Christmas.

[@gileus1]

Always enjoy sitting with you and having a bowl.

[@denisjacquemart7363]

As usual very interesting review ! Many thank's and merry Christmas ! 😊

[@dalepiper6693]

Thank you for reviewing these tobaccos…I’m sorry that several disappointed you…at least you saved us finding that out. In that sense you definitely took one for the team so to speak. I’m pleased you enjoy Autumn Evening…sadly I don’t share your enthusiasm for it. Vauen Trad 3 sounds like a baccy I might like…so that is going to be my Christmas treat. Wishing you a very happy & smoky Christmas my friend & a happy New Year. Best wishes John

[@dougowen9873]

Glad you are finally able to access Autumn Evening on your side of the water..We carry it in bulk at The Cargohold and it our 2d best selling tobacco right behind Lane 1Q which outsells everything else. I think the secret of its success is just what you describe, it is a very heavily cased blend but the base tobacco is Virginia as opposed to most American aromatics which are white burleyi based. That Virginia sweetness comes through while providing a maple like room note to people around the smoker. We all lust after that small cottage you have there with the fireplace and chiming clock, everone's ideal environment. Merry Christmas Mark. Keep puffin.

[@Gspitaletti]

Always a pleasure to watch, thank you

[@UncleBurntApostrophe]

Thanks for the reviews mate, remarkably some decent stuff this time as you say!😅👍

[@SouthAlabamaPiper]

Thanks for the reviews, Merry Christmas to you and the family!

[@fresnodan8367]

Great to see the annual Christmas reviews in the cottage!

[@bigernbladesmith]

Autumn Evening is a fantastic aromatic. I really like C&D's Golden Days of Yore as a winter aromatic blend.

[@williamjohnchisholm8960]

Merry Xmas from England and thoroughly enjoy your broacasts

[@MWesley111]

👍 thanks Mark, that's a good to know video review, I am at a loss for words on pipe tobacco quality, I have many tobaccos to choose from, (30/40) but only a hand full I enjoy, Green box Bob Chocolate, OGS, Vanilla Roll Cake, Three Blind Moose, maybe someday I can enjoy all the others, as the not so good tobacco will take the place of the good tobacco as the quality of tobacco slowly slips into the abyss. Be well, enjoy the day.

[@SmokesaPipe]

I so look forward to launching the Christmas season with your annual reviews of Christmas tobaccos, Mark. I would be interested to hear which libations you pair with your pipe bowl, if any. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@bobreynolds744]

Thank you Mark. Good stuff.

[@SmoT76]

Top rate entertainment with experience and cutting sarcasm. The color of the Kopp package with the hope and trust message reminds me of another mediocre presidency here in the States. Gotta get me a wood burner for the shed👍

[@BocatoBoynton]

Ha! I’m glad I stuck to the end:)

[@joelcatron5261]

Hey , thanks ! You're the best !

[@weescreenclips]

I would like to ask you a question . . . but firstly Wish to echo all of your viewers positive , kind & encouraging comments . Your Channel is overall outstanding & stand above any that I have experienced on KZbin . The question is regarding " ZIPPO butane inserts". Flaunting that flame without the slightest hesitation & total regularity & ease . . . How can I get my hands on such a beast .I have tried several inc the Zippo insert but all failed quite rapidly . Very warm & kind regards . Des .

[@ancomm_uk]

I salute your dedication to the pipe smoking community by trying these chemical cocktail christmas blends, so we don't have to!

[@viktorkathi9871]

Hi Mark, thanks for the new video, amazing as always! Can you pls, let us know who does your stemwork? Some contact details pls? Thanks, your true massive fan... me:)

[@meandmyshadow6269]

I've only recently discovered your channel and I really enjoy it. Subscribed! May I ask you what your accent is? I've never heard an accent like it. I gather that you are in Germany but I don't remember ever hearing a German accent like that before. You have a unique voice and it makes your channel even more enjoyable!

[@flynomadic999]

Mark, love your content. In a previous vid you made reference to a friend who is a stem maker. I have a couple of vintage meerschaum billiards in need of love. Can you connect me? Keep the great content coming, Cheers!

[@sonny2120]

Great video as always. Complaints are justified when there is unsealed tobacco drying up. I wonder what will happen in Canada since our main tobacco company, Brigham Enterprises Inc., is supplied by Kolhase&Kopp. I haven't tried many of their blends but the ones I have tried are very good. Maybe it won't change much since the blends are already established.

[@rpseitzancientcoins7084]

A very Merry Christmas to you and your family!!!!

[@Erumesson]

Always looking forward for your next video, thanks a lot! Personally I was quite disappointed by many "famous" aromatic tobaccos. They always smell great from the tin, but are quite disappointing in the pipe. Probably the only aromatics I really enjoy are Lakelands, Ennerdale namely. I really hope those "special editions" will get better in quality in future, Anyway, take care!

[@RamSkirata]

Dear Mark, I am very new to Pipe tobacco. I only rarely smoke but when I do I enjoy it :) This comes with the problem, that tobacco takes a long time for me to be smoked. So I wanted to ask you what you would recommend how to keep the tobacco. Or maybe you could do a video, which would be super cool :) Id be content with a quick answer though, too :)

[@PipeBuddy1]

Hello Mark. Thank you for beeing the navigator... It seems that christmas this year is not just fifty shades of Kopp... 😂 Weren't there pre-tasters in the middle ages ? André

[@situation_zero]

Same thing happened to me on a Smoker's Haven blend (by Germain's). They packed the wrong tobacco in the tin from what they had in the sample. Luckily it was just one tin. Cheers.

[@portlandpipesmoker8497]

Greetings Mark! Hope you are well my friend! Another holiday tobacco video that seems less than fulfilling when it comes to tobaccos. This is a shame, because I always look forward to this time of year and the tobacco releases for the winter and holiday seasons, my favorite limited editions....at least they used to be. Although you said there is some light here and there seems to be, we should focus on that! Thank you so much for taking the time to test these and give us an honest review. Take care and be well! Corey

[@bremenpipesmoker6571]

Hey Corey, my friend! Thank you so much for that... and for your voxer message... I'll come back to you soon! Take care and be well! Mark

[@MichaelTaylor-dr6gx]

Always enjoy these seasonal tobacco reviews. I have never found an aromatic that I really like other than those from the Country Squire in Jackson, Mississippi. Not all of them, but a few I have bought a quantity of. Great video as usual, Mark. Have you done any reviews of L.J. Peretti flakes? London Flake is a great tobacco. Merry Christmas, sir!!

[@Mike1614b]

Mark, thank you for smoking these Xmas blends each year. so I don't have to 😋

[@richardotto3937]

You are the best!

[@helsinkipipester5206]

Hi, thank you for this great channel. I have been watching your videos for several years now and they have been informative for me👍 By the way do you happen to use janzen-pfeifen for your custom-build stems? I have one Birinci meerschaum pipe which might need a new stem.

[@gh87716]

Great video Mark! Say, would you be able to talk about Adam Weishaupt at all, since you're a historian? And can one access the Ingolstadt or Landshut archives from online?

[@cheeswade7992]

ya well liking a cherry smoke

[@ssnoc]

Hi Mark, another great holiday review. Can’t buy most of these tobaccos in the U.S except Autumn Evening, which for me burns my throat from the intense maple chemical. I’m not sure why it is so popular, it’s maple tase is too burning intense for me. BTW, what is that certificate hanging behind you? Looked interesting, but I couldn’t read it … I collect and repair antique books, so old documents catch my eye :) Stay well and have a great holiday, catch you on the flip side. 🥃

[@shanemilehi]

Wait! I saw a video of yours from 8 years ago just before this. You are now a southern gentleman? 😀

[@jasonochoochoski7442]

Long time no see

[@ShepherdoftheForest3018]

Long live the Bremen Pipe Smoker!

[@dougowen9873]

Let's face it guys and gals, Mark is "taking one for the team" smoking all these burnt rubber mixtures. Better him than us. LOL

[@TheTunnellTake]

I think perhaps all of the blends that can be made with the tobacco we have in the world has already been produced, now it's just a bunch of rehashed recipes. There's truly nothing new in the pipe tobacco world. And that's ok with me, because I've only tried probably a quarter of them. 😂😂

[@thetazman666]

Professor when you coming back?

[@bremenpipesmoker6571]

Hang in, my friend.... working on it! Thanks for asking! Take care and be well! Mark

[@joshuacole1523]

Where are you my friend? No video in a long time.

[@bremenpipesmoker6571]

Hang in, my friend! Already cutting the new video... Take care and be well! Mark

[@mariotroisi901]

Hallo Mark,ich versteh nur Bahnhof! würde mich freuen wenn du mal ein video auf deutsch machen würdest! Ganz liebe grüße my Friend Mario.
