I’m smoking Captain Black in a corn cob pipe, using a Bic lighter and Czech tool. I guess I’m cheap, but it still provides me the relaxation and joy one derives from smoking a pipe.
Agree ! Same here except my tamper is a piece of hardware leftover from assembling something . Ha !!!!!
That's the point. Relax and smoke. One of my tampers is an old square nail from my grandfather's old barn that was destroyed by a tornado. Captain Black and a corn cobe pipe does it for me too.
Haha I have cheap pipes from Amazon and a tool I bought years ago and use a zippo. So I understand what you mean! It’s relaxing and that’s important.
Quality is important & life is too short to settle for second best. Love your commitment to making home beautiful, welcoming & safe. ❤
I'm glad that you went back to doing videos on pipes and tobaccos topics like when you first started The Pipe Cottage channel. Very enjoyable to watch while puffin a pipe. Well done!😊
I want to thank you very much for welcoming me into your study today Allen, what a pleasure.
Pausing to make a comment at the 3:33 mark. You mention cool stuff to play with. YES! I am in my mid-50s and am still a boy at heart who likes to fiddle around and play with things. I like to flick my lighter open and closed, strike it just for the heck of it, twirl my tampers around, take my pipe out of my mouth after a nice draw and just look at it. You are spot on.
The first pipe I bought has a wind guard with a hinge and it clicks when you lose it and yeah I’ve been loving flipping it back and forth and clicking it.
I get so much excitement out of getting to go outside and just enjoy a bowl. Have a blessed day!
I like how you refer to pipe smoking as a gentlemanly art, because you are spot on. I personally enjoy the ritual of smoking my pipe, especially when pairing it with coffee in the midmorning.
A very 'Guite' esque feeling setup for this one Alan. Thanks!
Allen, that is the most wonderful chair, lamp, and book shelves.
I couldn't warrant a $150+ lighter, but i could get a Zippo with the Z Pipe lighter insert! It has been working very well so far!
Just got Old Home place Saturday. First smoke was delightful.
I'm cheap, I use golf tee for my tamper
lol. Me too
You actually can fly on planes with lighters. I travel frequently with them in my carry-on luggage. I usually have two to three lighters including a bic, a fuel lighter Zippo lighter and even even carried a Zippo fuel tank in my carry-on luggage from the US to Europe and back with zero issues from airport security.
Just got a bag of old home place, getting ready to light it up for the first time right now!
Tobacco, like matches, are a “one and done” deal as well. So are cigars. So not sure why one-and-done makes matches less elegant than using a lighter. Great matches, sulfur-free, are my first choice in the way I like to light my pipe. “Striking a light” as Mark Twain wrote, is the way many famous pipe smokers of the past would light their tobacco, including my grand fathers. It’s old-school, requires more effort, calls for more of your attention and patience, and less popular than using a lighter. That should bump it up on your list! God bless!
Useful content, Alan, as usual. It was a pleasure to meet you at the Country Squire last Saturday, and I enjoyed our brief conversation as you mingled with the crowd. The invitation to visit Natchez, Mississippi remains open. We are a small city of about 15,000 people and a suburb of nowhere, with a beautiful basilica dedicated to Our Lady of Sorrows, thanks be to God. I'm watching your video while enjoying your new blend, the Old Home Place. “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.” Numbers 6:24-26
Love love LOVE the chair! I grew up with one that looks almost exactly like that with same upholstery and all. I’ve always wanted to get it reupholstered. Loving the content Doc!
As someone who flys all the time for work, I just want to let you know you can fly with a lighter in your carry on. I usually fly with all my pipes, tobacco and two lighters in my carry on. I’ve never once had a issue even flying internationally.
Me too. Matches make it through security as well.
You shouldn't shut down your website entirely. Platforms come and go. You've built up a good brand, and it gives you something to fall back to if plans change.
You are right. We will likely keep it up, but all new material will be posted on substack.
Wonderful video, and I agree with every single sentiment! Anything made with true craft is a thing of beauty, made to last and made to be enjoyed.
That lamp is beautiful!! Almost distracting.
hearing a history lesson with your accent will just be lovely, hope to see that one day on the channel.
god bless
Check out my other channel - you might enjoy it. Thanks for being here.

Most excellent 👍
A rather unexpected amount of bling in the room! As for pipe rolls, my wife gave me a really nice leather roll for Father's Day. Needless to say, it's been put to not just good, but consistent use as well.
Very nice video Dr.Harrelson! I can't agree more! If you're going to do something, do it right! There's no room for mediocrity. There's a reason for everything! Thank you again Sir!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience with accessories.
Glad I could assist at The Briary with the IM Corona to avoid having to use the Bic! My current “interesting” pipe tamper of choice is a dud .270 rifle round…not that it wouldn’t be even more interesting to get a Virginia blend nice and hot and tamp with a good live round for some fireworks, ha.
Old Home Place blend is arriving in the mail today! I am looking forward to my first light :)
Framing nail was free in my garage, works perfect for tamp,scrape, poke
How healthy are all the added ingredients that they use for the flavor, etc???? That is my main concern.....
Born a yankee, i want to be a southern gentlemen.
I understand, I was born below the Mason Dixon line in Bmore. But never fit in with the lifestyle. I capitalized on my situation. And now live a very comfortable life in NC. Just leave the politics behind. God, family, self protection and country. And if you’re a Veteran so much the better. ✌️
Ohh this will be nice
So that you’re aware, you can take a soft flame lighter on a plane, zippo, old boy, bic etc. are all allowed as long as it is with you in your carry on. You can NOT put one in your checked bag, but in the main cabin is no issue. I do it all the time.
Are you required to empty your pockets of your Zippo or Old boy through security? How does that work? I was reluctant to travel to Vegas last year with my lighters, acquired a cheap one there.
@@Kentuckyhighlandpiper, everything goes in my bag and right through the scanner. If the lighter is in your pocket, then it would go through like your keys, phone, etc. The one caveat is that you have to remember that the TSA agents have unreasonable power so even though you are absolutely allowed to bring a lighter and I have done it many times, they may decide for their own reasons to confiscate things. For that reason, I don’t bring my absolute favorite or sentimental lighters and only carry ones I could afford to lose.
Family first 🙏🏼💛
It's all about the gear!!!!!
I picked up a tamper from Townsends website. I used their reproduction clay pipes to work out if I enjoyed pipe smoking. Spoiler I love it.
👍🏻👍🏻
you got to pontificate and ponder 💯
As a tabletop wargamer, I understand the expensive hobby statement
Funny enough, you can carry a Zippo onto a plane in your carry on luggage. Done it many times.
What you are saying Allen, reminds me of a friend a I had when a I was a young man in the 1960s , he was mad on Tattoos and was very good at it . well I lost touch with him for 40 years, then I bumped into him again and he told me that he now hated them ( I always have by the way) I said, why! He said, "Because now, everyone`s got them !
I had all my pipes on display in racks just once. It was beautiful. Wife said they smelled like an ashtray so back in the shoeboxes they went. 😞
You think pipes that are made for charcoal filters make a difference in flavor or ones health or smoothness?
Your reasoning behind wanting a nice, leather pipe roll is the same logic behind why in 15 years of pipe smoking, I've never owned a cob. They aren't exciting.
Agreed my friend
Please tell me where you get your sport jackets from. Or what brand.
What are your opinions on dunhill?
Oh! for some sanity, in this old world of rags and bones. I am now reaching out for a clay pipe I got with a job lot on line, the bowl is fashioned after the English 19th century PM "GLADSTONE" I think OLD DUBLIN (Peterson) will suit this little party.
I'll likely upgrade to an im corona or something at that tier eventually. I've tried a traditional Zippo with the pipe chimney, which works well but leaves a horrible petrol taste for the first several puffs. I have a butane "soft flame" Zippo insert for pipes, but I find it goes through fuel too quickly. Matches are nice until you have a stubborn bowl and you have to go through half a box. Currently I'm using a BIC EZ reach, which works even better than a regular BIC but I feel like a drug addict.
Aren't books and music the only accessories you need?
Alan. Can you help me order one of your new pipe cottage Marcinski pipes?
Here you go:

Thank you so much. I got one ordered.
Clay pipes are awesome. I must have broken at least ten of them. Haha!
A pipe roll doesn't sound stupid to me, Doctor, but it does seem a little silly.
Now, silliness has its attractions. Remember that silly girl from your 4th grade Summer Vacation! She had many mysterious qualities (the first being that she was not predictable like a boy). But her laugh and all the things that elicited it, those were silly.
No, not stupid. Just silly.
Respect your right, and maybe it’s the cultural, American thing, but not gone unnoticed you’re monetising almost everything associated with the pipe cottage, now! Just wasn’t the feel I got when first following you here- did feel more ‘for’ the hobby!- but I guess you’re online store predated that, so perhaps it’s always been your goal to also make money from it..
Either way, I’ll just continue to follow to the degree I want to, and/or, is available✌️
Regardless, good video on the accessories etc
Whilst I agree lighting means and tampers can be expressive extras, they’re definitely not of most importance to me, atm..
Better lighters can fail, in my experience (across both pipes and cigar torches), and/or, be refill demanding…so I right now just use whatever is working!😅
Same w tampers really- they all do the same job (that probably isn’t truly necessary ie fingers can do, w bit of awareness and exp and is likely all our forefathers bothered with, ha!)
*pad and pipe storage/display is already becoming a real issue for me, too, lmao! The former I’ve just embraced, but the latter is more of a chore🤣
I am the same way with lighters. I hate Bic lighters, I am not a looks centric type of person but Bic lighters just look horrible to me because of their association with chain smoking. I have 2 Bic lighters and both have some sort of cover, one is a old metal sleeve and another is some thin rope I wrapped around the lighter and locked in place with wax. I usually use my no print Zippo though I don't have a pipe insert for it yet
I personally like the idea of smoking pipes because of the cultural Christian aspect that they have.
I've used my finger when I forgot my tamper at home, but I don't enjoy it
