Great information Chris. I would add cherry wood, and I actually own an olive wood pipe very much like briars. tough wood and starts as a light brown and darkens overtime. I love the history lesson about the Clay. Did not know that found it fascinating as I love history
Im using 2 both Missouri pipes a corn cob and a wood one both cheap about $8 I'm a first time user I use corn cob for short smokes and wood for about 30 minute smokes I have been watching all your videos from beginning great teaching
Hi again. I have since pirchased a couple new meerchaums and found that they are great smokers. I bought a Strambach and a Peterson. Strambach pipes are made from their proprietary cultured meerchaum process and seem in all significant respects the same as a real block meerchaum pipe like my Peterson. As for the natural coloring that occurs from smoking meerchaum, I can take or leave it. It does look really nice and represents an accomplishment, but I opted for a brown stained Peterson and the Strambach came new with partial coloring around the top of the bowl which looks nice. Not sure how it will cure out with further smoking. Anyway, I like them very much and wanted to share my thoughts. Take care buddy
Good Sir, I have seen a few pipes made from 'Apple wood' out of "Pipes and cigars" Magazine. Also I was curious to the "Medico" brand pipe (commonly sold, synthetic made). Thank you for your time, -SargeTube 57
SargeTube57 - I have also heard of pipes made out of apple wood as well, also a substance called Morta, which is I think very hard petrified wood, found in bogs. I have heard of Medico brand pipes as well, but I have never owned one, however most people who I have talked to swear by them. 😃😃😃
Good Sir, Thank you for your speedy response...As you have mentioned, I am currently enjoying my smokes within a setting that is calm and relaxing, your channel. Thank you so much for making these videos. Like i said in a previous comment, I have been enjoying a pipe for 6 years now, but i am currently watching your videos in the order that you have posted them. Bravo Sir, Bravo! Hopefully we may have a pipe together some day, SargeTube57
The company Mr. Brog makes a lot of their pipes out of Pear Wood root. I have one and tend to like their style because they are different and slightly outlandish.
Great videos. How do you like smoking meerschaums as compared to other pipes. I've not smoked one before but am considering buying one. From what I've read and watched online, they look like a great smoke
Mr Cat approves - funny you should ask, I have only smoked one other Meerschaum pipe in my pipe smoking past, but I get frustrated because it takes so long to color, so I stopped smoking them. Well just the other day I purchased one, and I am going to give it another try. A lot of people enjoy smoking meerschaum's so if you wanted to know my advice, I say go for it, I think you would enjoy smoking one. 👍👍👍
Hiya, This is probably a really newbie qeustion but I am just on the edge of buying a pipe. And i was hoping you could share some of your experience so I can make a more informed decision. Im currently quite enjoying cigars but i want to be able to read whilst smoking. In your experience is it doable to smoke a pipe and read at the same time comfortably? Can one tilt their head downwards whilst smoking a pipe? Or will the ash spill out of the bowl? Very last qeustion, Is smoking a pipe hands free uncomfortable at all? Thank you so very much in advance! Im just on the edge of buying a pipe.
My Gmail - Question 1, yes, reading and smoking a pipe go hand in hand, like peanut butter and jelly. Question 2 - Yes, once you light the pipe and tamp the ash it usually stays in the pipe even if you tilt it downward. Question 3, yes a pipe is quite comfortable hands free. 👍👍👍
Great video, very helpful, however, I was kind of surprised to not have seen bog oak made pipes in the list, that's a somewhat valuable and appreciated material in pipe making. Also, I've heard that in the past there were beech wood pipes, but now are a bit less common, they were a sort of alternative to corn cob when it came to cheap pipes, well now they're less cheap in terms of price, but they're intereseting anyway.
about any kind of wood can be used to make a pipe is what I've heard but they are different and might not be as good a choice as briar with the synthetics I've noticed one was said to be made with steel, stone and plastic which makes them heavy there built for durability stainless steel is another material too but they just little pipes more for herbal tobbaco substitutes or marijuana but can be used for tobbaco thought silicone and silicon too with water pipes plastic or glass
There are other materials you can make a pipe out of, I have heard of pear wood pipes, the only thing with making a pipe out of oak let's say, is that unless you coat the inside of the bowl with a fire resistant coating, the wood will catch fire, or it may crack.
+Muttnchop Piper the pear wood pipes are made popular by Mr. Brog i think. So what you're saying is it doesnt really matter about the wood as long as you put a fire resistant coating on it?
+Beowulf 95 I am really not that knowledgeable about pipes made of materials other then what I spoke about in my video, I don't even know if you can put or if there is such a thing as a fire resistant coating that you could put on a pipe made from other types of wood, I suspect that the reason there are no pipes made of oak, or ash, or birch, is because either it is not financially feasible, or it just doesn't work, I'm sorry I can't be more informative about the subject.
In Malaysia, we have one professional pipe maker name Abdullah Hussein, can search him on Facebook. He make pipe from sapodilla (a.k.a chikoo) tree and the stem from buffalo horn. Own one, and quite standing among my Peterson.
stone pipes are still made and used for tobacco and herbal tobacco substitutes crystal pipes are made too but they're made for herbal tobbaco substitutes like glass pipes are
hey, ah, ... if I get a really long pipe, does it's extended length noticeably cool the smoke ? ... Also I see one of those old chinese traditional pipes, very long with thin metallic tails -- I am wondering if it would be worth to try for cool smoke?
My Uncle Colin made all his pipes himself...outta Balsa....his reasoning was not only to smoke the tobacco but also the pipe itself...he did this for many years right up until his untimely death....sadly he burned to death...one of his home made pipes set him on fire.

robert Blanks - I have never smoked a pipe made of any other wood but Briar. Thanks for the added information. 👍👍👍
I’m blown away at this info! Now I want one of each 😆
I've only been pipe smoking for less than a year. I now have 5 cob pipes and two wood pipes. Love my cob pipes.
Im using 2 both Missouri pipes a corn cob and a wood one both cheap about $8 I'm a first time user I use corn cob for short smokes and wood for about 30 minute smokes I have been watching all your videos from beginning great teaching

Thank you so much!
Then getting a pipe is exactly what ive been looking for!

Ur videos i so helpful, greetings from Russia!
BABYSUN1 - I'm glad they are helping, thanks for watching. 👍👍👍
You said the best briar is called ebashon?? I know im not spelling that right cause nothing comes up, lol. How do you spell that?
I enjoy Peterson Killarney pipes. I call them the “Ford Truck” of pipes in that they can take a little more abuse, ie not cleaned as much.
David Arbelaez - I have never heard that, thanks for passing on that info my friend. 👍👍👍
You forgot frosty the snowman who also smoked a corn cob pipe
Tim Pearson - Watch a video of mine called famous pipe smokers part 2. 👍👍👍
Will do sir!!
Is your FB account still active Muttnchop Piper?
Yes as far as I know it is. 👍👍
What website would you recommend buying pipes from?
CplDabu909 - there are 2 in particular, Smokingpipes.com and pipes and cigars.com these 2 on line tobacconist are my go to sites. 👍👍👍
Thank you!!!
I absolutely love your videos. Greetings from Israel! 🇮🇱👍
Thank you my friend, and welcome to my channel. 👍👍👍
about any kind of wood can be used to make a pipe is what I've heard but they are different and might not be as good a choice as briar
with the synthetics I've noticed one was said to be made with steel, stone and plastic which makes them heavy there built for durability
stainless steel is another material too but they just little pipes more for herbal tobbaco substitutes or marijuana but can be used for tobbaco thought
silicone and silicon too
with water pipes plastic or glass
Macasis kaishak - Thanks for the added info my friend. 👍👍👍
Muttnchop Piper it's a problem I was researching materials to see whats been used over time
Stone, and granite.
can't you make a pipe out of any wood? for example oak?
There are other materials you can make a pipe out of, I have heard of pear wood pipes, the only thing with making a pipe out of oak let's say, is that unless you coat the inside of the bowl with a fire resistant coating, the wood will catch fire, or it may crack.
+Muttnchop Piper the pear wood pipes are made popular by Mr. Brog i think. So what you're saying is it doesnt really matter about the wood as long as you put a fire resistant coating on it?
+Beowulf 95 I am really not that knowledgeable about pipes made of materials other then what I spoke about in my video, I don't even know if you can put or if there is such a thing as a fire resistant coating that you could put on a pipe made from other types of wood, I suspect that the reason there are no pipes made of oak, or ash, or birch, is because either it is not financially feasible, or it just doesn't work, I'm sorry I can't be more informative about the subject.
+Muttnchop Piper it's ok and thank you for your time.
In Malaysia, we have one professional pipe maker name Abdullah Hussein, can search him on Facebook. He make pipe from sapodilla (a.k.a chikoo) tree and the stem from buffalo horn. Own one, and quite standing among my Peterson.
There are some old anceint pipe made of stone
I never new that....thanks for the info 👍
stone pipes are still made
and used for tobacco and herbal tobacco substitutes
crystal pipes are made too but they're made for herbal tobbaco substitutes like glass pipes are
hey, ah, ... if I get a really long pipe, does it's extended length noticeably cool the smoke ? ... Also I see one of those old chinese traditional pipes, very long with thin metallic tails -- I am wondering if it would be worth to try for cool smoke?
I like you muttonchop 😁
My Uncle Colin made all his pipes himself...outta Balsa....his reasoning was not only to smoke the tobacco but also the pipe itself...he did this for many years right up until his untimely death....sadly he burned to death...one of his home made pipes set him on fire.
Dang thats horrible
