You are a lot of things my friend but one thing you are not, is "just some guy". We are not static, we are a continual work in progress. No matter how many bowls you have left to smoke in your life, you will always be a pipe guy. Between what your current habits are and not a single bowl ever again, there is a bowl or two a day and that can be even more pleasant because rarity always makes us appreciate whatever more, that is how we’re built…
Hi Mike. The important thing is that you are a smooker pipe forever and we are interested to use your experience. I hope i will hear good news as soon as possible. Your health is definitely more important to us than anything else. Have a good days ahead with your family🎉.
Praying for a good report! I have a moderation with my pipes. Friday night, Saturday Morning, and Sunday evening. Not specifically in that order, but often its once or twice a week, and a rare on the way to work. Moderation is key! Also, for me i narrow it down to a rotation of 4 pipes. 2 Sav’s and 2 Pete’s…😊
Good Evening 😊 Prayers For You and Your Family 🙏🏽 Its a Beautiful Pipe 😍 Hope you Have a Speedy Recovery 🙏🏽 Kindly Keep us Updated 🙏🏽 Have a Blessed Day & God Bless You 🙏🏽 Greetings From South Africa 🇿🇦
Sorry to hear of your concern. If necessary, I'd love more pipe restoration content from you. I am currently reviewing all of your historical restoration content. Curious if your methods have changed at all. Southland piper seems to be the only person publishing new restoration content these days. Wishing you all the best. I hope this concern was will soon be water under the bridge. Thanks for all you contribute to the YTPC.
Hello Mike. Very thought provoking video. I wish you all the best and hopefully nothing will be too life changing for you when you get to talk with your doctor. I think this issue are thoughts we all have now and then and likely a question we will all have to answer at some point. Regardless I will watch your channel weather it be pipes or bird houses. LOL it’s the conversation and person at this point since getting to know you through YT. Regards Mark
Praying for you Mike. I hope the docs are able to give you an all clear. My BP was good before I started pipe smoking and went even lower after I started pipe smoking. Odd I know. I only smoke a pipe or two a day and only started at 54, so not a lot of nicotine history. I also consume very little caffeine.
I enjoy watching you for your personality and wisdom. Don't need to necessarily have tobacco in it. Since have both worked in medical field definitely agree with your statement about not taking advice from anyone but a doctor.
best wishes Mike hopefully doctor clears you and you can enjoy what you love whats interesting to me in life how come its always something we enjoy that we have to choice from why can’t for once a doctor say eat all the ice cream you want or drink all the bourbon you want. But knowwwwwwww drink plenty of water lol
Prayers for good health and a long future of pipe smoking enjoyment, Mike! We all are many things, and some of us are lucky enough to have found enjoyment in smoking pipes.
Always good to see you brother. Pipe or no pipe, I'd still watch. Your pipe smoking isn't the most interesting thing about you. It's just how I came to know you
I'm no expert, nor a doctor but I would like to think that nicotine in small doses isn't too harmful. I wish you all the best Mike and I will be praying for you.
Having had a stroke back in 1996 I am the last guy to advise anybody to ignore health issues. Having said that I have always questioned any link the medical community has made between pipe smoking, cigar smoking and cigarette smoking. The cigarettes will unquestionably cut anyone's life span by years, but I have yet to see a reliable report linking moderate pipe smoking or cigar smoking to serious health issues. I emphasize the word "moderate" for a reason. But good luck no matter how you decided to proceed. The bottom line for me is life is for the living of it and some of its little pleasures should not be abandoned based on advice that may or may not be reliable. As I grow older one bowl a day is enough for me.
Hopefully everything is fine Mike. My guess is, a bowl every now and then won’t hurt anything. I’m sure there are other factors besides nicotine to consider as well. My guess, you won’t have to give up anything but you might need to adjust a few things. I’ll be praying 🙏
Good Morning Mike happy Sunday my brother very touching video I can't imagine you with out a pipe Mike it's so much apart of you I'm praying that all the test comes back good and you can continue to enjoy your pipe smoking that's my wish and prayer 🙏 I'm smoking a pipe for you Mike I'm having some COMOY CASK #4 in my Kinsale full bent Baskerville pipe smooth Finish with my Sherlock Holmes tamper be bless my friend wishing you all the best 😃👋🔥💨☕🙏❤🙏
Hi Mike, hope all will be well my friend. Same age here, and nothing wrong with cutting back! You could always do a horror channel!! 🧟♂️🧟♂️. 😊 praying for the best result 👍😎👊🪙🐖
Hi Mike, a similar question is “at what point are we a pipe smoker”? As opposed to someone who smokes a pipe? Point being is that for most of us it’s not a passing hobby, and if it had to be reduced to the secret occasional bowl you don’t tell your doctor about 😉 you could still be a pipe smoker. Oh and by the way, I’d watch your new BirdHousePiper videos! Cheers, Alex
Happy S8nday, Mike and all! Hope Mrs. Canerod has a szfe journey home. Also, that you two can have some fun. Hopefully Mrs. Canerod has good appointments this week. Prayers continue for Scott, you and your family. Hopefully the doctor's news will be better than expected. Yes, I, among others, will watch your new videos as well as old ones. Happy werkend !!!
Hello Mike! I hope your heart condition can be resolved soon. 🙏 Same here, I think if I had to give up pipe smoking, I would still collect a few pipes. I actual started collecting pre-World War I pipes before I ever smoked. Whatever the outcome, I know I would still watch your videos. Sublime piping, Daniel
Hiya Mike. Fingers crossed on the counsel from your doctor. As someone with a minor heart issue, I can relate. I'd bet there is an attainable balance that will allow you to continue to enjoy pipe smoking, even it it isn't at the same level as before. Unlikely that it's a binary, all or nothing thing. I've cut back from the max number of pipes I used to smoke, and there's even a benefit - I've found I can taste the tobacco to a much greater degree when I don't smoke as often. Either way, friendship goes beyond all that; with or without a pipe in your hand you'll never have a shortage of pals. Take care my friend. - Jim
Good day, Mike! Here's a thought...miy mother had aortic valve surgical replacement, not once but twice! She gave up cigarette smoking before her first cardiac surgery, but she said that "everyone deserves one good vice!" So, she treated herself to a pop of Bourbon every day! Don't give up all the fun things you like to do because of a diagnosis; work around the diagnosis if you can! Take care! 👍🏻
I enjoy your personality and you sharing your perspective on things like you do in your Sunday videos. Don't think it would make much difference to me if you were not smoking a pipe. I know you enjoy it alot, so I hope you don't have to quit entirely, but obviously you being around for your loved ones takes priority. I guess I'm just repeating what you said, but I hope we still get to enjoy your videos. Take Care.
Is there a bit of self diagnosis going on here? Not quite. Just reasonable concern.i think. Never hurts to anticipate. My last pipe was the day before ash Wednesday. I've done this all the 50 years i have smoked pipes. I know i will smoke again, bht don't know when. Lester, Redcoat, got some medical news and he just up and quit and left the YTPC immediately. I don't expect this to be your path, but it has been done. I hope you get a good report from the Doc, but whatever it turns out to be, you will desl with it. Cheers!
I can resist anything.....except temptations. The advice I always give ( and no one takes) is....see the dentist a lot and the doctor a little. I plan to live forever......so far, so good 😂
Yes I am more than what I do in life but the enjoyment is life. I'd rather die doing what I love to do than live a non fulfilled life without enjoyment. If I could go out with a pipe bowl puffing away while sitting in my recliner then I've had a better life than probably what I deserve. I will not give up my pipe based on a probability. Just my opinion for me. Have a good'n.
Hi Mike, best of luck with your newly discovered heart issue. Hope all goes well. Also, was the image of the fellow wearing a flat cap and smoking a pipe at the start of this video created using the Microsoft Copilot App?

Very helpful perspective, Mike. Praying for a clean bill of health. Hoping to see you in Columbus, and would love sit and not smoke with you.

Hi Mike, best of luck with your newly discovered heart issue. Hope all goes well.
Also, was the image of the fellow wearing a flat cap and smoking a pipe at the start of this video created using the Microsoft Copilot App?
doc will probably tell you to drop the coffee. :)

Thank you. I is microsoft designer. Jut a web page that works well most of the time.
I get palpitations from drinking coffee.
1 hour exercise for every 1 bowl or cigar is my rule. Balance it out
