- Just a little pipe chat for new pipers, answering a question from @aaronburress258 I'm certainly no pipe expert, but I have learned from more than a few mistakes and successes. My hope is that some of you watching will leave even more useful information regarding your opinions for new pipers.
A couple of my favorite pipe venders:
@ThePipeNook and @MBSDPipes
Today's pipe: Peterson Phoenix 03
Tobacco: Lane TK-6 (Cherry)

@@4one6Piper I don't have a lot of them, this was just some of my favorites.im glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for dropping by and for subscribing. 🤠
Loved your anserws and couldn't agree with you more.. I still say the pest pipe is the pipe you like, with a new smoker I'll give them a cov to start along with some tobacco
@@user-cw3df8si1w a good cob is a great way to start and just give it a go. Thank you for stopping in. 🤠
Very well done, thank you for posting.
@@samturner9562 thanks for coming by and commenting
I restarted my pipe smoking with Cult Blood Red Moon & I still really like it. But we all taste things differently!
As to pipes I really have grown to like Mo. Meerschaum ,many styles & shapes & sizes and as u said in your video they don’t ghost and snook great! 👍👍😎
@@darrylthehorntoadpiper indeed those MM Cobs just smoke good. And yes, they make a lot of different shapes and looks theses days. I'm thankful for so many tobacco blends, something for everyone. 🤠 great to have you join me.
Hey, I really enjoyed the video. You introduced me to some great pipes
@@PipePhilosophy1377 great, I'm glad you dropped by and found a little something useful, or at least, entertaining. Good to have you here. 🤠
Good Evening 😊 Appreciate The QnA 👍🏼 Beautiful Pipes 😍 Thanks For Sharing Your Collection 👏🏼 I love Big Bowls and Must Feel Comfortable in The Hand 😉 Your Dog is Looking For Red Blood Moon 😂🤣Have a Fantastic Day & God Bless You 🙏🏽 Greetings From South Africa 🇿🇦
I forgot to mention how they feel in your hand, but, I know some can feel good and still be bad pipes. for the most part, I enjoy all of mine. 🤠
Hey Randy -- First-time watcher here. I really enjoyed this video. Very good advice, IMO. I mean this as a total compliment: you remind me of the late, great Alvy Moore who played the "Hank Kimball" character on the old TV show, "Green Acres." Your laugh is delightfully contagious, similar to his. You might want to do an impression of that character? I think it would be hilarious. Cheers!
That is hilarious. I know exactly who Mr Kimball is...at least you didn't think I sounded like Mr Haney. 🤣🤣🤣🤠 welcome to the channel. And thank you for a good laugh.
@@Ragamuffinpiper My pleasure. And thank you for putting a smile on my face. I believe I'm going to subscribe. 😊☮
@@chipc4936I appreciate that, and hope you'll feel at home. 🤠
Great video Randy! I will agree with the 626 being the perfect shaped pipe(and 636)😁👍it's my favorite! As are acrylic stems.
Have a happy 4th holiday!😊🍻🇺🇲🇺🇲
Such a great pipe in your hand. Yes they are. And oh I love my acrylic stems. Easy care. Happy 4th coming up. 🇺🇸🤠
That is a beautiful peterson. I have the 626. It have been a wonderful pipe
@@mr.kylestory4873 It is a looker, that's for sure. Glad to have you join me for a few minutes.
Great video! 👍 I think you need to find a pipe that visually appeals to you so you want to smoke it. Then find a tobacco you like and enjoy the experience! 🙏
@@tonyschwarz7840 that's pretty much it... Yep 🤠
Thanks for the video, Randy! I have not heard of some of those brands. Will check them out.
My 2 cents. Worth less all the time. 🤣🤠 glad to have you here. 🤠
Good looking pipes and good info
For what it's worth, thank you. 🤠
Great video my friend. Beautiful pipes
@@jacquesjoubert6793 I enjoy each of them - thanks. 🤠
👍
Great Q & A, my friend!
Best I can do with what I've got. 🤣🤠 thanks my friend.
Hello Randy and Aaron,
Here’s what I think. First pipe I’d say go for a straight pipe but not a short pipe to avoid tongue bite and possibly another with a 9mm filter and start with those because you won’t get doddle and gloop as much as you may find at first with a bent pipe.
I do however enjoy a bent pipe but nearly always when I’m out and about and nearly always smoke a straight pipe indoors. But don’t be tempted to go mad buying loads of pipes because they may end up as wall hangers and not smokers. To measure a pipe for my face I’ve in the past looked for a pipe that I liked the look of online and then got a bit of cardboard and cut it to the length and shape as advertised then done a dry run does it look too big when clenching holding etc as it gives you some idea especially if you can’t get to a shop and you only have the option to by online, believe me there are some pipes that just look ridiculous and can make the person smoking them look even worse. I have some pipes even now I won’t smoke when I trim my beard back and only smoke them again once I’ve got a good bit of growth back as they just don’t go with a close trim, sounds daft I know.
Hey Aaron think of of a pair of glasses whether everyday or sunglasses, you wouldn’t just grab any pair without trying them on first to see how you look in them, well that’s my point, we want to feel good in what we wear and it’s the same for a pipe we want to feel good with the pipes we choose and that’s how I would choose a pipe when I first started. Well that’s my two pennies worth hope my little bit helped.
Always a bit a wisdom Jonathan. All good info. I hope you're well my friend. 🤠
@@Ragamuffinpiper All good at this side Randy buddy, just received an email from the supplier I bought the Dockworker from and they have been outstanding they said they are going to refund me for the four tins of dockworker, no questions asked they said they weren’t aware of any problems but will contact the HU blenders which I believe is now KH as they took it over. But great result and excellent customer service. But were they aware of a problem🤔! Either way happy days but has put me off from buying anymore now. Have a great day.
Back in the 40s a d 50s my grandmother would use 'raga-muffen describing certain persons😊
@@stonylawncottagepipe4429 it's a phrase used in "the ragamuffin gospel" (an excellent book). I enjoyed the way it looked at people as ragamuffins (spiritually), worn down, and scarred from mistakes. I use the name to remind me I'm a sinner saved by grace - like everyone else. Thank you for dropping in and leaving a comment.
You know I have had really good luck with Falcon pipes. They are not expensive at all, they are easy to clean and smoke pretty cool too.
@@samturner9562 on my.list to try eventually.
Blab on, sir! Great to see some of the other pipes you enjoy Randy 👍 As a newbie, I’ve used eBay to sample some different pipe sizes and patterns. I’ve bought 8 so far (7 of those were under £16), and 3 of those turned out to be really great, 3 are grand but just not my thing, 1 is a total lemon, and 1 is fantastic! The fantastic one is a Morgan ‘Bones’ series Check Mook pattern. Got it for £26 and if I lost of damaged it, I would definitely seek out and happily pay full ticket (£45) for a new one. Worth a look…
The Morgan Bones pipes seem to always be well loved. I have my eye out for one soon... (maybe I sure use both eyes instead of just one). 🤣🤠
@@Ragamuffinpiper🤣
I haven’t tried a meerschaum yet, but very keen to 👍 I also bought a very cheap stubby cob (which happens to be called the ‘Morgan’ pattern), that I really enjoy so hope to pick up a second pattern soon.
Thank you sir for this video my friend! It helped me so much! One of the pipes I was actually looking at was the 626 and that’s what I just ordered! I can’t thank you enough and I’m looking forward to this journey. Also greetings from East TN
You're welcome. I figured it was something that some of us that's done it while could share, our methods of choosing. All the best, I hope you love it. Perhaps we'll get to see it some day. It's good to have you here. 🤠
howdy Aaron. answering your question ,make sure you have at least one corn cob pipe .i have severall but the gentleman is excellent to learn how to smoke pipe.
they are low in price ,are verry forgiving and smoke wonderfull .normally after smoking briar (bruyere) you DO have to let it rest for a day .not the corncob though.have at least as many pipes as you smoke a day (for resting ) i highly reccomend real meerschaum as well. the rest is vanity ,how many or what they cost.I smoke for 30 years now ,and believe me, its hard to resist a beautifull pipe.
let me know how your pipe smoke adventure continues :) love Bodi
@@bodicea6364thank you so much for your advice! I started my pipe smoking journey in march and truly appreciate your veterans knowledge! I absolutely love the pipe smoking community
You’ll definitely get at least 7 different answers 😂 I prefer Vulcanite stems because lucite is too hard and I’m a clencher that doesn’t like softie bits. So I’ve just come to terms with the extra maintenance needed to keep my stems black. I think I’m in the minority there.
@@ParsimoniousPiper you might be. But I know a few guys that do a good job at keeping them nice. I just haven't found a good way.
A drop of oil rubbed in after every smoke.
@@ParsimoniousPiper some of mine do better than others
