Excellent video! JRR Tolkien most definitely smoked Capstan Medium Navy Flake. As a Tolkien lover I wrote to his estate and received this nice replay from his grandson. Dear John, You are perfectly correct, Professor Tolkien's tobacco of choice was indeed Capstan Medium Navy Cut. You might also be interested to know that it was also his son Christopher's favourite tobacco until he stopped smoking. Best regards Adam Tolkien
That's awesome John, thanks for sharing that information, I like you am a Tolkien lover, and any new info I can acquire on the man and his world is a treasure indeed. 👍👍👍
Revelation is referred to as an American blend. It consist of Burley, Kentucky, Latakia, Perique, and Virginia. It is coarse cut and flavored with Fruit and Citrus. Sutliff makes a match blend of this tobacco and House of Windsor makes Revelation. I really like your videos.
Apart from not smoking pipes younger people would probably not have the patience to sit through videos like these but I find your manner of speaking and your overall tone very soothing. Watching your videos is akin to sitting down with a pipe or two. Thanks for what you do. Tolkien and CS Lewis were part of an unofficial “club” with other Oxford professors, meeting at an Oxford pub called The Eagle and Child (which they nicknamed the “Bird an Baby”) they called themselves the “Inklings “. I would love to have spent a night with a pipe and pint just listening to the conversations that went on there. And that pub is still there!
Tolkien and Lewis were both WWI veterans and professors at Oxford so they had a lot in common. Tolkien also spent a lot of time translating medieval manuscripts into modern English.
Thank you for your videos. I’m 23, and a new piper. Your videos have helped me a lot as far as learning the etiquette and how-to’s of the craft. You conduct yourself in such a helpful and classy manor. Keep up the good work, and thank you again.
Hi Muttonchop. I hope you are well. Family is very important. I came across your Chanel a couple of months ago and have watched many of your videos. I new to pipe smoking and thoroughly enjoy it. I credit that to the information and the many things I’ve learned from you. I live in Indiana but had moved away for career reasons. That took me to New England for several years and then out west. When my Dad was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer a couple of years ago I sold my house, quit my job and moved back to IN. I was fortunate to have been able to spend time with him until he passed in Jan 2020. I was with him when he passed. I wouldn’t have been if I had stayed out west. My mom has been in and out of the hospital recently and I’ve been able to be here for her. Some things are more important than all the stuff we seem to get caught up in with life. I’m glad you have been able to be with family. Thank you for all you have done in the pipe smoking community. Your are a great man and teacher. I wish you all the blessings life has to offer.
Your deadpan delivery at the end is spot on. Very funny! Great list. For your next one, I might recommend Bertrand Russell, a 20th century logician, mathematician, and philosopher, who was rarely seen without his pipe.
I really enjoy your videos. that being said you have left out one of the most famous pipe smokers that I know. my father. cherry blend was his go to smoke and being a child of the sixties cartoons were a favorite of mine also. if popeye smoked spinich well I could too. I've never revealed this to anyone outside my family. one boring summer day I decided to obtain one of my father's many pipes I took it to the kitchen found a can of spinich opened it up filled the bowl with what I thought would be enough (not draining it) heard someone coming took off outside found my match stash (you always needed to have matches stashed just in case) tried to light up the pipe. well i put the pipe in my mouth lit the match took a big pull and the rest is history. tobacco laden spinich juice filled my mouth. unfortunately I swallowed it. not realizing what was about to insue. now light headed feeling dizzy and breaking out in a cold sweet the back door opened and my mom held the spinich can and yelled out to me was I going to finish it. she saw me on the ground to groggy to move came over to me and the jig was up. spending the next I don't know how long dry heaving and then falling fast asleep. funny thing is I wasn't punished for doing that. later on when I got older I asked my father why. he told me that he knew that that day I had learned a valuable life lesson. that pipe sat on the mantle in my father's study and every time I looked at it I was reminded of that summer day. I have many of my father's pipes and do enjoy a bowl every now and then (although I don't smoke out of his). the spinich pipe is long gone I expect it started to smell and my father knew that I had been tortured enough. just thought I'd share this with you and your followers. again thanks.
Wiley Leavell - First off let me apologize for leaving your father off the list, I knew I was missing someone important. Second, that has to be one of the coolest pipe stories I have ever heard, you probably weren't punished because what you went threw after your crime was punishment enough. Thank you so much for sharing that with us. 👍👍👍
@@MuttnchopPiper You left off my Great Grandfather, my Grandfather, and my father all of whom were named John! So, I am a fourth genration piper! Love your videos!
Hey MP, I'm a newbie, so this is 4 and a half years late. Very interesting info! So Einstein must have figured out his Theory of Relativity while smoking "Revelation!" And of course, Bogart would naturally smoke something called "Bogie!" And OMG! You DO have a sense of humor! I've been trying to find out what blend of tobacco J. Robert Oppenheimer (leader of the Manhattan Project) smoked. So far, unsuccessful.
This was an interesting video :) One person that I was curious to know about was Lee Van Cleef. He was an actor who worked along side Clint Eastwood for a few movies (my favorite being For a Few Dollars More). He also had some early small roles in the Twilight Zone that I like to watch occasionally. I love the bent yellow Wellington he used to smoke, and from what I can find he smoked a blend called the Philosopher, which is reportedly close to modern London Blend 1000. I’ll have to try that blend some time!
You've been providing me with the most enjoyment out of videos I've had in a long time. Thank you for the effort you're placing in each and every video. I wish you and your family all the best in these crazy times.
Greetings, mutton chop from Santa Barbara, California! I always enjoy all of your videos, and I have watched this one several times. It just now occurred to me, that people might be interested to know how many of the old tobacco smoked by these famous people are still available? It might be really interesting to be having the same experience as some of these luminaries from long ago! Just a thought…
Very interesting, thank you. If you do another video, Bertrand Russell is a famous philosopher and famous for smoking a pipe. There is a video on here about how pipe smoking saved his life. He was on a plane and changed seats to the smoking section so he could have a pipe and the plane crashed, killing everyone in the non-smoking section.
Well done my friend, entertaining and informative. I had heard a rumor that the Spinach blend has a horrible room note and Olive Oyl was not a fan of Popeye smoking in the house, especially around sweetpea ;)Take care,Stephen
Great video thanks. FYI Basil Rathbone was in fact South African. I have some Wilkes 515 and can recommend it if you like aromatics. In many of the Sherlock Holmes films from the 1940s he smoked a Peterson 4AB pipe.
Harkness F - We are proud to exclusively offer General Douglas Macarthur’s blend of choice. Crafted by Ed Harkness of San Antonio in the late 19th century, Harkness F is a full-flavored medium body tobacco which contains cube cut burley, pressed cavendish and a hint of zesty vanilla. Still available only from Club Humidor store! 👍
This was a great list. never knew that Bogart was a pipe smoker. If you are still looking for ideas for Vol 2 (if it hasn't been done yet) I wrote to the Norman Rockwell museum and they confirmed that he smoked Edgeworth Ready Rubbed.
He is one of my favorites as well, did you know J.R.R. Tolkien, and C.S. Lewis were friends? The would meet on a regular basis while writing their books and read passages of those books to each other, pretty cool.
Nice video. I like the history and information you always provide. One of my favorites is Edward G Robinson. I bought a can of his blend and it's pretty good.
excellent video! what about Edward G. Robinson, too? he's accompanied with a pipe in so much movies. there is a blend by sutliff which edward allegedly supervised, but he must have some fav blend before that. didn't find anything, anyone?
Hey Robin, I think the blend you are referring to was actually produced and you can get it at many on line retailers. I know I have seen this blend a Smokingpipes.co. 👍👍👍😃
I am new to pipe smoking and find it very relaxing, your videos are the best and even make me feel relaxed just watching them. Thank you and keep up with those videos.
Thank you for your reply . it means a lot to me . Pipe history is so Important . I have a friend who owns a few of Albert Enstiens pipes . His grandfather knew him. He has all documentation with them . What history and Tolken was such a Genius. I love his works and how his love for pipes went into his stories . Just like Conan Doyle and Sherlock Holmes . maybe you can add Doyle to your future videos . Thank you again and I loved The Chesty Puller stories . I am a Marine and your right he was a Real American Hero won 5 navy crosses . more than any other Marine in History. They said he would be smoking his pipe. during combat and would walk up to a Marine with pipe in Mouth bullets flying by him and check on his Marines no Fear . The Marine Mascot is Named after him. a Bulldog called Chesty Thank s again
Scottie dickens - Semper Fi my friend I am a retired marine after 20 years in the corps, I know all about Chesty Puller, he is one of my heroes. I would love to see one of those Einstein pipes, I bet they are impressive. 😃😃😃
My dad smoked only Phillip Morris Revelation.. The taste is pretty hard to describe but pretty natural and unique...kind of an American English...Only Brindley's Mixture had a similar flavor / aroma.... It had some flavoring but not much...I smoked a lot of it too in the 60's. Thanks for the video !
Suggestions for part 2- Shelby Foote, Lee Van Cleef, Arnold Schwarzeneggar, Moe Howard, Albert King, Gerald Ford, Orson Welles, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and Santa Claus!
I read in a pipe magazine many years ago that Stalin's favorite was Edgeworth. You could always make a favorable hit with him by gifting him a tin of that brand.
The one and only Lee Van Cleef, without doubt the greatest when it came to talking with pipe in mouth! He smoked Tinderbox Philosopher: an English, Lat'-rich blend.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have been looking everywhere to find out what he smoked, I plan on using this info in my part 2 video, so thanks again. 👍👍👍👍😃
no problem! Also, in the film 'dollars more' the pipe belonged to him (it was a Vienna Meer'), his eyes were odd colours: one green one blue, he couldn't run and had to use a circus horse during filming for ease - due to damaging his knees in a car crash, he'd cut off his right middle finger tip making his daughter a dolls house, prior to acting he was an accountant, and his real first name was Clarence. I adored the man: the reason I took up a pipe!Of course, he smoked other blends from tinderbox too, but that was one of his favoured ones!Love the vids, I only found your channel today but love it!All the best, Steve.
You sir, are the type of American I admire. I do not admire these camouflage wearing hillbillies, I admire true Americans, the traditional wild west type of man. Sincerely, a German.
Agree. that Baily guy is a chauvinist . He talks about women and their place and how masculinity is refined and how to get women but he is single and never with a gal.. kinda says a lot. You can tell mutton-chop Piper is a true gentleman and that's why he is happily married. I no longer watch baily's videos. I was disappointed in his demeanor.
House of Windsor "Revelation". this blend captures the essential character of the old classic, combining yellow and red Virginias, cube cut Burley, smoky latakia and zesty Perique with a soft, dark fruit top note. I found that it is still being sold.
For sure the Capstan that I smoked in the 1965 for 20 years was not duplicated by MacBaren correctly and the same goes for Three Nuns, they were great tobacco that I enjoyed for many years , now I smoke MacBaren Navy Flake and Solani N633 they are good tobaccos.
Thanks for the video. Very enjoyable. Back in the day we could purchase smoking pipes at the PX. Due to nanny state, doubt tobacco is offered anymore to the troops. But I'll ask my neighbor who still uses the facility if they sell smokes.
I enjoyed this video. Very interesting! I want to add that I read somewhere that Mark Twain was very fond of corn cob pipes. He would often pay someone to break it in for him!
@@MuttnchopPiper don't stop being you. I just got my first pipe and I binged a ton of your videos. I'm getting the hang of it pretty quick. Do you have to rotate pipes daily? Only have one right now.
Finkardop - Yes, but since you have 1 pipe, smoke it every other day until you get another one. I would suggest you purchase a couple of corn cob pipes, they are inexpensive (around $12.00) that way you have something to smoke while your other pipe rest. 👍👍👍
And Hugh Hefner also! Founder of Playboy magazine. The picture that he holding a pipe was an iconic! My first time saw the picture was on Playboy pinball machine.
Also actor Edward Fox. Mr. Fox was in many movies, one being Force 10 From Navorone, in which he smoked one of his Charatan’s whilst waiting for the bridge to collapse.
I don't mean to sound like a quibbler, but I thought Cornell & Diehl's "Crooner" was made in tribute to Bing Crosby. Bing had a private tobacconist prepare a blend using Deertongue, a species of wild vanilla. C & D now produce that blend for those who want to give it a try.
Captain Navy Cut is by far (as in its the only pony in the race) my favorite tobacco. Yeah it sucks its so expensive, but I think the price is well deserved. Just an absolutely outstanding smoke. My top three are Capstan Navy Cut, McClelland's Domician Glory Maduro, and Rattrays Old Bowtie. All stay true to the true taste of tobacco Imo. Great video!
Nice!! So nice! Thanks when I started smoking a pipe there was this blend called "Bogey" ... well that was a fine one! And it fit your description of what HB smoked!
Revelation was, is a box drugstore blend, I did try it years ago, mostly burly, so is Field and Stream, slightly flavored burly type smoke, thanks for the neat info well delivered, natural teacher.
Bandicoot - thank you my friend, I did purchase the blend and smoke it. It's the only blend I have to smoke outside, my wife says it smells like cow manure lol, lol. 😏😏😏
Back in the eighties, I went on a drugstore pipe tobacco hunt. There were some neat ones, like Rum and Maple, Middleton's Peach Brandy. Revelation must have some kind of inspiring elements, thanks again friend!
Excellent video. I would imagine many famous pipe smokers would have had several favorites like many of us today do. I can only suppose this would make any list harder to compile. I've often thought it would be interesting if a company would offer a special price on a 'famous people assortment'.
Great trivia! I really enjoyed it. And I heard that some company either had created or was trying to create a blend that was similar to Einstein's Revelation. I also think you can still get Bogart's Brown Bogie. If I recall correctly, it's a twist.
Crooner is still in production or atleast similar is made by C&D, burley based blend with some kind alcohol casing...never smoked just heard stories about it. Thank you for intresting video. Have a great start for the week and cool smokes.
love your Pipe video on heat shrink wrap for the pipe. I love your video on famous pipe smokers and what they smoked. i love history thank you For all the cool history. I loved Rathbone and Sherlock stories I collect memobilla from Sherlock Holmes . I want Rathbones blend Wilkes blend . I have his Autograph and picture. a long with A conan Doyle Autograph. I love your pipe set up and I learned A lot . thank you and God bless love your videos their Awesome Happy New year
Great video. Maybe you could do an informative video on how you built your tobacco cubby slots. I like to build my own things when I can and would love to see how you built yours. Thanks!
Hey Johnny, go and watch a video called " Foam Core game box inserts 1 & 2 it will show you the things you need, and how to build things like my tobacco cabinet. 😃😃😃
Hi there, newish subscriber working my way through the archives. So far. really enjoying the videos, educational and entertaining. Anyway loved this one, looking forward to parts 2, 3, et al. One suggestion for future research would be Jacques Tati, who was a French comedic actor famous for his Monsieur Hulot character who lived with a pipe in his mouth.
An interesting aside about Popeye, I live in the town where his creator lived, a town called Chester, Illinois, and actually, Popeye was based on a real person (his grave is in our cemetary) named Frank Fiegel. I couldn't tell you the tobacco he smoked, though he definitely smoked one. Just an interesting tidbit I imagined you might enjoy.
Cornell & Diehl: Crooner Pipe Tobacco: A specially cut, cube-style Burley and Deer Tongue tobacco, Cornell & Diehl's Crooner is an authentic copy of Bing Crosby's private blend, shared with C&D by one of his closest friends. It is still made! 👍
WILKE No. 515 - This is the blend smoked by Basil Rathbone, Wilke's famous No. 515. A blend of ribbon cut Virginias and toasted Black Cavendish, or as the Wilke sisters described it: " exotic tobaccos aged in a rare Jamaica Rum - smooth, mild with a delightful aroma". Still available! 👍
I heard that Tolkien also smoked "Erinmore". Dr. Watson once told Sherlock Holmes that he smoked "Ships". Did you ever find out what their creator ,Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, smoked ?
"My favorite author, J.R.R. Tolkien" earned an immediate like.
Excellent video! JRR Tolkien most definitely smoked Capstan Medium Navy Flake. As a Tolkien lover I wrote to his estate and received this nice replay from his grandson.
Dear John,
You are perfectly correct, Professor Tolkien's tobacco of choice was
indeed Capstan Medium Navy Cut. You might also be interested to know
that it was also his son Christopher's favourite tobacco until he
stopped smoking.
Best regards
Adam Tolkien
That's awesome John, thanks for sharing that information, I like you am a Tolkien lover, and any new info I can acquire on the man and his world is a treasure indeed. 👍👍👍
That is so cool!
@@MrJoshDoty Albert Einstein was also Jewish. Racially Jewish.
@@santinojozefmiller7721 what does this have to do with JRR Tolkien’s tobacco choice?
@@MrJoshDoty he said German born. I was just bringing it up just so that he didn’t forget that he was also racially Jewish.

I would like to mention my favourite author, the late great P G Wodehouse.
Prolific pipe smoker but I have no idea what brand he used.

Also, in the film 'dollars more' the pipe belonged to him (it was a Vienna Meer'), his eyes were odd colours: one green one blue, he couldn't run and had to use a circus horse during filming for ease - due to damaging his knees in a car crash, he'd cut off his right middle finger tip making his daughter a dolls house, prior to acting he was an accountant, and his real first name was Clarence. I adored the man: the reason I took up a pipe!Of course, he smoked other blends from tinderbox too, but that was one of his favoured ones!Love the vids, I only found your channel today but love it!All the best, Steve.
+Stevie B thanks again Steve. 😃😃😃👍
Thank you very much for your Vids. They are very elegant and most enjoyable !
EL INDWELLER - Thank you my friend. 👍👍👍
You sir, are the type of American I admire. I do not admire these camouflage wearing hillbillies, I admire true Americans, the traditional wild west type of man. Sincerely, a German.
PK PK - That's very kind of you to say my friend, thank you. 👍👍👍
Muttnchop Piper Not a problem my friend.
Agree. that Baily guy is a chauvinist . He talks about women and their place and how masculinity is refined and how to get women but he is single and never with a gal.. kinda says a lot. You can tell mutton-chop Piper is a true gentleman and that's why he is happily married. I no longer watch baily's videos. I was disappointed in his demeanor.
What problem do you have with camoflauge wearing hillbillies german boy.
I think we can all say what we think about germans and their past. So watch your mouth eh?
Loved it! Thanks for taking the time to research! Do another installment!
Stephen Laughridge - I did, Vol. 2
You might do a video or two on the types and shapes of tobacco PIPES they used.
House of Windsor "Revelation". this blend captures the essential character of the old classic, combining yellow and red Virginias, cube cut Burley, smoky latakia and zesty Perique with a soft, dark fruit top note. I found that it is still being sold.
Fantastic video. Would love to see another installment of this please.
Love how you can actually see your copies of Lord of the Rings on the shelf just below your tobaccos. A true Tolkein fan!
Thanks my friend, I have several copies, the white covered ones are the ones I got when I was in High School, all battered and torn. 😃😃😃
For sure the Capstan that I smoked in the 1965 for 20 years was not duplicated by MacBaren correctly and the same goes for Three Nuns, they were great tobacco that I enjoyed for many years , now I smoke MacBaren Navy Flake and Solani N633 they are good tobaccos.
Interesting video :) The last one on the list only smoked corncobs as well. I like these kind of video's. Greetings,, Kitty.
I love history lore, thank you muttnchops I enjoyed very much. I wonder if I can get some of those tobacco blends still.
I'm new to pipe smoking and I find your videos very informative!
Thank you.
Thanks for the video. Very enjoyable. Back in the day we could purchase smoking pipes at the PX. Due to nanny state, doubt tobacco is offered anymore to the troops. But I'll ask my neighbor who still uses the facility if they sell smokes.
I enjoyed this video. Very interesting! I want to add that I read somewhere that Mark Twain was very fond of corn cob pipes. He would often pay someone to break it in for him!
Because of my ADHD, I have to watch your videos at 1.5 speed. Good content!!
Finkardop - Sorry to hear you have so much difficulty my friend, and I appreciate the extra effort it takes you to watch. 👍👍👍
@@MuttnchopPiper don't stop being you. I just got my first pipe and I binged a ton of your videos. I'm getting the hang of it pretty quick. Do you have to rotate pipes daily? Only have one right now.
Finkardop - Yes, but since you have 1 pipe, smoke it every other day until you get another one. I would suggest you purchase a couple of corn cob pipes, they are inexpensive (around $12.00) that way you have something to smoke while your other pipe rest. 👍👍👍
I really enjoyed the video. Looking forward to volume 2. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you my friend. 😄😄😄👍
And Hugh Hefner also! Founder of Playboy magazine. The picture that he holding a pipe was an iconic! My first time saw the picture was on Playboy pinball machine.
Also actor Edward Fox. Mr. Fox was in many movies, one being Force 10 From Navorone, in which he smoked one of his Charatan’s whilst waiting for the bridge to collapse.
graycloud057 - Cool info my friend, thanks for passing that along. 👍👍👍
I don't mean to sound like a quibbler, but I thought Cornell & Diehl's "Crooner" was made in tribute to Bing Crosby. Bing had a private tobacconist prepare a blend using Deertongue, a species of wild vanilla. C & D now produce that blend for those who want to give it a try.
Captain Navy Cut is by far (as in its the only pony in the race) my favorite tobacco. Yeah it sucks its so expensive, but I think the price is well deserved. Just an absolutely outstanding smoke. My top three are Capstan Navy Cut, McClelland's Domician Glory Maduro, and Rattrays Old Bowtie. All stay true to the true taste of tobacco Imo. Great video!
*Capstan Navy Cut (damn auto correct)
Thanks Brice, I to like Capstan, but the price is to high for me. 👍👍👍😃
Bing Crosby also smoked Hayward Mixture.
Stalin also smoked Royal Yacht.
Very interesting videos! Keep'em going!
Thanks for the info my friend. 😃😃😃
Love that you included Chesty Puller! Oorah!
Gregory Foulke - one of the most famous marines that ever put on the uniform, you bet I’m including him. 👍👍👍
Hell yes!
@@MuttnchopPiper I know it’s a long shot but any idea of what pipe he smoked? I see it asked allot and I have not been able to find a thing on it.
Revelation made by house of Windsor. blend of Bright flake, Red Virginia, Burley cube cut, Latakia and Perique with a mild fruit flavor.
Nice!! So nice! Thanks when I started smoking a pipe there was this blend called "Bogey" ... well that was a fine one! And it fit your description of what HB smoked!
Thomas Wilcox - I have heard of that blend, but don't know much about it. 👍👍👍
Karl Barth and Paul Tillich, two very famous theologians of the 20th century, smoked pipes. Carl Jung also enjoyed smoking as well...
Stalin also smoked Dunhill RY, one of my favorites
Cool, thanks for the info. 😄😄😄👍
Revelation was, is a box drugstore blend, I did try it years ago, mostly burly, so is Field and Stream, slightly flavored burly type smoke, thanks for the neat info well delivered, natural teacher.
Bandicoot - thank you my friend, I did purchase the blend and smoke it. It's the only blend I have to smoke outside, my wife says it smells like cow manure lol, lol. 😏😏😏
Back in the eighties, I went on a drugstore pipe tobacco hunt. There were some neat ones, like Rum and Maple, Middleton's Peach Brandy. Revelation must have some kind of inspiring elements, thanks again friend!
Very nice video. I had been wondering what kind of tobacco Tolkien smoked, actually.
Excellent video. I would imagine many famous pipe smokers would have had several favorites like many of us today do. I can only suppose this would make any list harder to compile. I've often thought it would be interesting if a company would offer a special price on a 'famous people assortment'.
Very interesting, great video, thank you 👍🏆.
Great trivia! I really enjoyed it. And I heard that some company either had created or was trying to create a blend that was similar to Einstein's Revelation. I also think you can still get Bogart's Brown Bogie. If I recall correctly, it's a twist.
Paul Bielicki - great info my friend, thanks for passing that along. 👍👍👍
Brown bogie is a Gawith rope tobacco - it’s just a smaller diameter version of brown no.4
Crooner is still in production or atleast similar is made by C&D, burley based blend with some kind alcohol casing...never smoked just heard stories about it. Thank you for intresting video.
Have a great start for the week and cool smokes.
Very interesting info Olle, and the same to you my friend. 😎😎😎👍
Great video. Enjoyed it a lot.
Regards
Mark
Thanks Mark, 😃😃😃

I loved Rathbone and Sherlock stories I collect memobilla from Sherlock Holmes . I want Rathbones blend Wilkes blend . I have his Autograph and picture. a long with A conan Doyle Autograph. I love your pipe set up and I learned A lot . thank you and God bless love your videos their Awesome Happy New year
Scottie dickens - thank you my my friend. And you're welcome. 😃😃😃
Lewis was a great writer. I never knew that he smoked Three Nuns blend. Thanks for sharing.
Your welcome Graham. 😄😄😄👍
Very interessting, please can you get out what tobacco was the favourite of Errol Flynn ? He also was a pipesmoker .Greetings from Germany Ed
Bing Crosby was known to smoke " Crooner" and the" Haywood blend" I understand neither are made today. I understand both had Latakia Tobacco.
Enjoyed the video, especially Popeye, for vol.2 can i make a request start with Barack obama, i think he was a virginia man.
Great video. Maybe you could do an informative video on how you built your tobacco cubby slots. I like to build my own things when I can and would love to see how you built yours. Thanks!
Hey Johnny, go and watch a video called " Foam Core game box inserts 1 & 2 it will show you the things you need, and how to build things like my tobacco cabinet. 😃😃😃
+Muttnchop Piper that's awesome. Thanks!
I love it.... especially the Peypie the Sailor man lol. Happy puffing
Hi there, newish subscriber working my way through the archives. So far. really enjoying the videos, educational and entertaining. Anyway loved this one, looking forward to parts 2, 3, et al. One suggestion for future research would be Jacques Tati, who was a French comedic actor famous for his Monsieur Hulot character who lived with a pipe in his mouth.
Thanks for the suggestion Brian. 😃😃😃😃
Your an awesome man so please keep up the great work!!!!
Great video, very entertaining to watch while I enjoy a bowl! Thanks and keep up the the great work!
Thank you my friend. 😃😃😃
An interesting aside about Popeye, I live in the town where his creator lived, a town called Chester, Illinois, and actually, Popeye was based on a real person (his grave is in our cemetary) named Frank Fiegel. I couldn't tell you the tobacco he smoked, though he definitely smoked one. Just an interesting tidbit I imagined you might enjoy.
Dsuranix - That is really cool, thanks for sharing that. 👍👍👍
My dad smoked Revelation. I have one of his old Decatur humidors. It still smells of Reve just like it did when he used it many years ago.
Fred Lamprey - I love these types of memories so much, thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍
I enjoy your videos - speaking of Bogart, I wonder what Chandler smoked, he holds a pipe in many photographs
Enjoying a great Capstan, courtesy of Muttnchop, while enjoying one of my favorite videos of yours.
Thank you my friend. 👍👍👍
Chris that was cool. Knowing what they liked i find interesting. Well Done good a/v can't wait # 2
Mark Stengel - #2 is already out, sorry you will have to search for it. 👍👍👍
Where do you get the little labels for your jars? Thanks
Heath
heath chauncey - I make them, I did a video on how to make them, it's called creating my canning jar lid labels (stivkers)
Awesome, I'll check it out. Great idea by the way
Thanks
Cornell & Diehl: Crooner Pipe Tobacco: A specially cut, cube-style Burley and Deer Tongue tobacco, Cornell & Diehl's Crooner is an authentic copy of Bing Crosby's private blend, shared with C&D by one of his closest friends. It is still made! 👍
The end was a nice touch.
WILKE No. 515 - This is the blend smoked by Basil Rathbone, Wilke's famous No. 515. A blend of ribbon cut Virginias and toasted Black Cavendish, or as the Wilke sisters described it: " exotic tobaccos aged in a rare Jamaica Rum - smooth, mild with a delightful aroma". Still available! 👍
Awesome video ! Basil Rathbone portrayed Sherlock Holmes between 1939 and 1946. Cool to know what he smoked.
Two of my favorite economists, Ludwig von Mises and F.A. Hayek, also were pipe smokers, but I have no knowledge as to their favorite blends.
That's cool to know!
the last one was LMAO! great video
I heard that Tolkien also smoked "Erinmore". Dr. Watson once told Sherlock Holmes that he smoked "Ships". Did you ever find out what their creator ,Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, smoked ?
Peter Puleo - No unfortunately I didn’t, it’s difficult finding out some of the minor details of someone’s life, sorry. 👍👍👍
Thanks. Did you ever get to do a follow up? Wish i was as good at what i do as you are at making videos!
