  • A video showing what I reguard as my four favourite pipes. I tried to make it three favourites, but decided that was too difficult so settled for four. Probably at another time, I would pick four different ones, but this is my choice right now.

    I too have a difficult time picking my "favorite" pipes. When I do I end up feeling like I am cheating on my other pipes!

    Hallo Alan, Mr. Brog is real a good and cheap pipe. I own 2 of them, each made from Irish wild pear wood, and I pay 12 € for the new pipe. Take a look at Ebay Germany, the seller is in Hamburg, selling each week.Alan one question, how is your english dialect called? I like how he sounds. I am speaking bavarian, a dialect spoken around munich and along the alps and parts of Austria. All my best wishes to you Edward

    Such a well made and interesting video. I didn't know Eastern Europeans could make pipes that beautiful, and good smokers too. Thanks for showing us your favourite pipes!

    Two things I did after watching this video: Bought that exact same Mr. Brog! Then, changed my pipe packing method, and I've got to say, its a revelation. I've had so many problems on properly packing a pipe until this video. I've had about 3 or so smokes since watching this, and every pipe has stayed lit almost the entire time! Thank you, for both the pipe suggestion and the tips on pipe packing!

    • @TShelby

      It's a matter of different point of views. When I buy a pipe, I buy also an instrument of intrinsic value, charm and durability. A briar pipe is for life, often for more than one life. Moreover, briar creates a unique commingling between the wood and the tobacco you smoke in.
      You will not find all these things in any corn cob or pear pipe, that have also a limited life.
      And no, it's not a matter of price. I have about 20 pipes, Dunhill, Charatan, Peterson, Astley's, Upshall, Comoy's, Ben Wade, etc... almost all pre-smoked. some of them vintage, too (all sanitized, obviously)... and I spent more than 50 € only one or two times! Ebay is an inexhaustible source of these bargains.
      In simple terms, I definitely can buy corn cob and pear pipes and smoke them with pleasure... but this video talks about FAVOURITE pipes, the BEST pipes you have, do you understand what I mean? And to define a pipe as the best I have, I should consider some more parameters than "it smokes well" (but that's only my opinion).
      I don't know if I'm able to explain my point of view, I know my english is not perfect.

      I explained better my pov with the comment before. Just read it! You will discover I did not mean that's a matter of price!
