1) Your coffee mug is in the family of one of mine, gifted to me by my granddaughters: "BEST. GRANDPA. EVER." And as you know, coffee mugs never lie. 2) Did you clean your cob after the first smoke? If not, the second and unfiltered smoke didn't get a fair trial. 3) I am supposing that you have a number of different briars in your stable. The Savinelli will give you a fine smoke, for sure. But I'm betting that another Savinelli differs a little, not to mention a Wally Frank, a Peterson, and so on. 4) I have a good reason for fearing to break my clays. Experience. 5) Enjoyed this vid.
I love that clay churchwarden. Really unique smoking experience. It is really challenging to light however - such a long reach and the bowl angles away so I can't see what's happening! LOL
This is the first time I’m watching one of your videos. This was a question I had, but could not find an answer to. I got my answer, I like your personality, I liked the video. 10/10
Great video, and a great experiment. I also find I have different experiences with different shape pipes of the same material, with the same tobacco. So I'm also fascinated with the effect of different airflows in different shaped bowls. But then there are so many variables, even humidity and temperature, that if I wasn't having so much fun I'd possibly drive myself insane 😂.
i smoke aromatics in briar...cavendish n kentucky in cob...all bold in a churchwarden...virginia n burley in meerschaum...i only have 6 pipes but they're not wasting time alone on a shelf...i waste time together with them in a rocking device(chair etc...)... Cheers!!! RAL
Thanks for sharing this journey. I'm doing my own trying to mimic a blend my father used to smoke. There seem to be more ways to test out this hobby than one initially thinks.
Another great video! The pace was perfect, the content was interesting and most importantly, engaging. I like the open-minded “everyman” (and woman) format. Your videos are always a pleasure to watch!
Thanks a lot for the useful information. I really like the "content" you create. In my case, I noticed that the experience is influenced by the diameter of the bowl. Could you please test and give me feedback if this is also something that influenced your experience?
I once bought a small Meerschaum pipe (not corn cob, mistakenly thinking I was buying a larger size one) My tobacco, in this case, Mississippi River tasted much better in a much larger Briar pipe.
An interesting experiment! It might be worth trying this regularly with different blends. I'd be curious to see how/if flavors would differ with aromatics of various qualities.
How much time did you have between pipes? I'm wondering if the nicotine built up in your system so you felt more and nic hit from first to last pipe. Flavor too possibly. Good job on the vid too.
Got to taste Rustica also in different pipes. I don't have any morta pipes but cob, meer and clay I have. I've only smoked it in briar. I've noticed that different days I got different taste of tobacco depending what I've eaten or smoked before.
The design and the material of the pipe absolutely change the characteristics of the tobacco smoke. It's always interesting to see what comes out of each different pipe combination. Clays are amazing, they provide a pure unadulterated taste of the tobacco IMHO. Cobs have always put a sweet spin on tobacco for me. Morta is similar to a clay but different, especially if a cake is formed in the bowl.
Sounds like you have a morta that has built up a cake - something that doesn't happen in the clay. I haven't smoked my mortas enough to have any kind of coating - I wonder if the taste will change as that happens. Hmmm
@@thevirtualpipeclub215 Yes exactly, when morta first came out people would say that they don't build cake. I've found that to be false even after a clean between bowls. Thanks!
Greg the truth is I didn't even think about using the balsa filter in the Savinelli. I have boxes of them, but I usually smoke those pipes (I have two 320s) without using the filter.
Great idea and presentation. Did you use a balsa filter in the briar? I'm guessing you would have mentioned if you did. Also. Do 9mm charcoal filters give same experience as one used in the cob?
A suggestion for a new comparison, provided you haven't stopped doing these videos, would be how different shapes and sizes of briar would work with the same tobacco?
they dont. no difference. quite a few like to tell you otherwise though. But we must be aware that there is a LOT of pretentiousness going on in the YTPC. just like in the modern art world or wine sommeliers. The shape of a pipe or the size of a pipe has no effect. size only changes the smoking time
it doesnt. Porcelain pipes have the most unaltered flavour without a doubt. meerschaums and clay is porous soaking up flavour from previous smokes. porcelain doesnt.
Great video again David! I wonder.....do you or have you ever smoked cigarettes? This is not a loaded question at all. I just wonder how that might have affected your assessments of nicotine levels.....if at all. I’m a total nicotine wimp by the way LOL!!! Nicotiana rustica aka Wild Tobacco has the highest level of nicotine of any varietal. That’s really cool how the different pipes translate the properties of the tobacco differently. I totally agree.....different pipes will bring out and highlight different aspects of every tobacco in different ways. You’re a brave man tackling that tobacco! Check out my first video venturing into helping others with their journey into pipe smoking. Part two coming this weekend! Here’s the link.... ua-cam.com/video/yI9ugWH2Y5c/v-deo.html
Jeff you have a new subscriber! Thank you so much for sharing the link. :-) Loved the restored look of your Grabow - and what a great story. I haven't smoked cigarettes since the Navy - and that was more than 40 years ago!
David-Dorian Ross thanks heaps for the sub!!! Oh.....I saw that you teach Tai Chi. That is sooooo cool!!! I attended a VERY traditional Wing Chun Gung Fu school in Jax Florida for 5years. My Sifu is William Graves.....Our lineage goes back directly to Ip Man through William Cheung and Leung Chung. I thoroughly enjoyed it but haven’t trained in some years as I haven’t lived near another instructors the same lineage for quite a while. I miss it! Anyway, I love what you’re doing with the Virtual Pipe Club. Our YTPC community is truly a unique and wonderful one! Thank You!
Great job. Always great to see you. This is Kirk from Florida disabled vet US Navy. God bless.
Thanks, Brother! Hope you are doing well.
I've learned so much since subscribing. Best new pipe smoking channel period.
Wow - thank you so much for the high praise! There are so many great youtubers in the YTPC - I'm just having fun.

5) Enjoyed this vid.
really glad I spent the time to watch this! I'm a beginner and found it great..
Great vid! Got me thinking about doing the same with my favorite tobaccos! Clay, meershaum, briar but I don't have a morta....yet
Ι was trying to see all the video but this clay long stem pipe is.................. a miracle

LOL - Ddog I wonder if they'll let us have one arm free from the straight jacket so we can still hold a pipe!
Good experimental design, not too technical but focused on the intent of piping, viz. ENJOYING THE SMOKE. Nicely done!
Good videos. Where have you gone?
i smoke aromatics in briar...cavendish n kentucky in cob...all bold in a churchwarden...virginia n burley in meerschaum...i only have 6 pipes but they're not wasting time alone on a shelf...i waste time together with them in a rocking device(chair etc...)...

That's one of the best ways to waste time! LOL
@@thevirtualpipeclub215 i rock at wasting time...haha...
Cheers!!!

I'm really enjoying your videos! Great presentation and you keep it interesting. Looking forward to binge-watching your videos.
Awesome video! Great content and experiment
This is true. I have pipes that everything tastes good in, and pipes that only like one blend, and one that no matter what I smoke in it meh.
Great video! I had no idea this channel existed. Subscribed for all notifications. You present very well.
Mike thank you so much!
Excellent
Outstanding tutorial.
Only 3 Mortas. That’s 3 more than I have. They sound awesome.
Thanks for sharing this journey. I'm doing my own trying to mimic a blend my father used to smoke. There seem to be more ways to test out this hobby than one initially thinks.
What was your Dad's blend like? Was it an OTC, or one that he created himself?
Very interesting, thanks! 😊
Another great Video, David!👍🏼
Thanks!

Cool video. I need to get myself a churchwarden, and now also a morta 👍
I may have started a Morta Movement... ;-)
Thank you for the video, I just ordered a clay but this morta seems intriguing. What brand is yours? I'm looking for a reasonably priced one to try.
Nice! I do wish you would have mentioned if you used a balsa wood filter in the Savinelli as well as who made the other pipes in the video.
Greg the truth is I didn't even think about using the balsa filter in the Savinelli. I have boxes of them, but I usually smoke those pipes (I have two 320s) without using the filter.
Man ... thank you so much !!! It’s great !!
Glad you enjoyed it :-)
Great channel. Subbed.
Great idea and presentation. Did you use a balsa filter in the briar? I'm guessing you would have mentioned if you did. Also. Do 9mm charcoal filters give same experience as one used in the cob?
Great question - I totally forgot to mention that. No, I didn't use a filter in the Savinelli, even though I have filters for it.
What clay pipe was that and from where?
What company is your Morta from?
A suggestion for a new comparison, provided you haven't stopped doing these videos, would be how
different shapes and sizes of briar would work with the same tobacco?
they dont. no difference. quite a few like to tell you otherwise though. But we must be aware that there is a LOT of pretentiousness going on in the YTPC. just like in the modern art world or wine sommeliers.

That meer reminds me of The Neverending Story
Very interesting video.... i always thought that a clay had the most unaltered flavor... I've never smoked a morta though...
I had never given my mortas enough credit. Now I'm a believer!
it doesnt. Porcelain pipes have the most unaltered flavour without a doubt. meerschaums and clay is porous soaking up flavour from previous smokes. porcelain doesnt.
It reminds me of damp mushroom barns, mushrooms
Does your Tobacco taste different lately?
New sub here! Nice video !
Thank you so much!
The conclusion is I need to buy a clay pipe and a morta pipe now
I was really surprised at how different the flavors were in the different pipes!

Bruh John McAfee I thought you were on the run from the CIA?
Its all about the mood, the pipe and the tobacco....don`t try to be Einstein for everyone please!. it reminds me of your dirty cops!
