"I got a couple books that I like to read." Yes, I think I can spot one or two in the background, there. 🙃

Beautiful! I have a few on a wishlist, and Christmas is coming. I've learned, over the course of my short history smoking pipes, I love a churchwarden the most.

[@mythicalhistory]

Those created by Auenland through Smokingpipes.com are wonderful

[@CurmudgeonPiper]

Welcome to the YTPC! Gave you a sub. Love the background and that’s a great pipe! Be well.-Doug

Just discovered your channel! Amazing pipe, and the library is truly a life goal!!

[@mythicalhistory]

Thanks. I've greatly enjoyed both.

Hobbit’s Weed was originally blended by a small tobacconist in Denver, CO called Tewksburry. They closed a couple years back but I was able to visit one time while on a business trip to Denver. Hole in the wall but fantastic blend! Cheers

Really glad to hear about theology books. Happy piping :)

I just discovered your channel & subbed you. (Love my Auenland Gilg…great smokers)

[@mythicalhistory]

Thanks. I just subbed you back. Look forward to seeing your content.

Thanks…you might be interested in Malcolm Guite’s channel if you haven’t already found him.

@@dalepiper6693 I found him at the start of Covid last year and have enjoyed him "Spell in the Library" videos. Great guy.

Of all the pipe shapes I own, I’ve never owned a churchwarden. I even have a vintage Kaywoodie calabash that smokes very cool, but never pulled a trigger on a Hobbit pipe.

[@TheNewMediaoftheDawn]

Cool🎉

[@JDSilverTobaccoPipes]

I love that churchwarden! I think it's time for me to make another! Is that YOUR library? If so, I'm jealous, sir!

[@JDSilverTobaccoPipes]

I agree with you about going to oxford to study theology, philosophy, and all the other 'ophys. That would be fantastic.

[@Trentonpage]

Neat pipe!

[@jamest1094]

In the german translation of the lord of the rings books, the shire is called "Auenland"

[@goldentwilight1944]

Ok, but the obvious question that stands out to me is how does one clean a churchwarden? Obviously, a pipe cleaner is not going to fit down that oversized stem. I assume you would have to clean it somehow, or else eventually one would get that damp burnt grill taste. I haven't yet smoked one but if I did I would like to keep it clean?

[@mythicalhistory]

You can buy long pipe cleaners from most pipe stores or through Amazon (www.amazon.com/Inch-Long-Bristle-Cleaner-Count/dp/B081CBMG88/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=long+pipe+cleaners&qid=1633298774&sr=8-5)

[@TheGentlemanScholar]

Great video! Always wanted to delve into the Arthurian Legends but never knew where to begin... I've been having the urge to read THE RINGWOLD series. Worth it?

[@mythicalhistory]

I haven't read that series but will look it up. I might have it in my collection and don't know it. The Arthurian Legends are vast. Seems several people have attempted to write their personal version. Sir Thomas Malory's version is very popular and Stephen Lawhead's multiple volume series (the Pendragon Cycle) good places to start.

[@Hissatsu5]

I’m here becase of my recent competition of hobbit/ lord of the rings both books and movies

[@mythicalhistory]

Did you enjoy them? And what are you reading next?

[@Hissatsu5]

@@mythicalhistory loved them and I am continuing to learn about LOTR universe also I am a fan of CS Lewis and just reread Mere Christianity

[@Hissatsu5]

@@mythicalhistory when I get paid this Friday I will be getting some books on the second age of middle earth and probably another cs Luis book . My love of books specifically audiobooks is relatively new so I am building a library.

[@muggletoast2231]

I just got a Vauen churchwarden, the same as yours a Doran. Do you find the bowl gets hot as you smoke it? You seem to be getting large puffs of smoke, much larger than I was getting and my bowl was getting hot to the touch

[@mythicalhistory]

I do find that the bowl get hot rather quickly, which is when I hold the pipe at the bottom of the stem. Still a beautiful pipe to smoke.

[@muggletoast2231]

@@mythicalhistory thank you for your response. Okay, I’m relatively new to pipe smoking so I’m not sure how hot is too hot. I don’t want to damage the bowl by smoking it too hot. So yours also gets hot to the touch and you haven’t had any issues?

[@mythicalhistory]

@@muggletoast2231 My bowl will get too hot to hold but I've never had it break. Some bowls can get too hot and crack if they are smoked too hard. If the bowl is extremely hot, I would stop smoking it for a bit and let it cool down.

[@thaumielbelial7345]

Excuse me Sir, how many inches long is the pipe?

[@mythicalhistory]

13 inches long. The bowl is about 1.5 inches deep and 3/4 inch wide. Very lite and a great smoker.
