As a pipe smoker, a pipe maker, and a cigar enthusiast, this couldn't have been more pleasant. I've always summed up the difference for myself between a cigar and a pipe as this; a cigar is "Let's get right to the point." and a pipe is "Aint no point to get to, let's just wander.". The enjoyment of tobacco is literally thousands of years old, multicultural, and has great positive religious use in multiple faiths. And like all things, in moderation, can be very beneficial. Thank for the video Dewayne.
Yep, tobacco has been utilize in many ways including medicinal, therapeutically also adding being used in ceremonial settings - gatherings citing it to be a peace pipe when done in more social settings. It's a been a wonder plant for many years before the westernized use of daily usage.
When I’m the engineer I smoke my pipe. If I’m the conductor switching cars on the ground; I smoke a cigar so I do have to keep relighting or worry about the ash blowing into my face riding rail cars.
This is well said. I use a different analogy. A cigarette is a hot dog. A cigar is a ribeye. A pipe is a filet. They're all meat yes, but one is disgusting and the other 2 are preference.
Cancer clinician from TN here. It likely has more to do with genetics than anything else. My grandfather was a WWII vet and started smoking at 9. He smoked up to 3 packs of Marlboro Reds per day. At one point was an alcoholic. He ate bacon every day and was close to 250lbs. He died of lung cancer at age 86 after refusing treatment after he was diagnosed. Sounds like a good life to me doing what he enjoyed without a worry in the world. His son, my uncle, never smoked, never drank and tried to take care of himself by being active. He died 20 years younger than his father of a sudden heart attack. We never know what's going to take us out of this world so may as well enjoy it. As for me I enjoy a cigar every now and then.
@@Martin-hn1yj your genetics determine how you handle anything you put in your body whether it's cigars or herbicides. If your body can't repair itself because you have defective DNA repair genes then you're more likely to get cancer. If you have overexposure to certain chemicals (natural or otherwise) it increases the risk for a run away effect on genes that can become cancerous. If you damage your immune system, it can increase your risk of cancer. Stress and how you respond to it may also be determined by genetics. So I agree with you. That's why many things, even a salad should be enjoyed in moderation and why having a diversified diet is important. Smoking can increase your risk of cancer but having a cigar may have other benefits that aren't accounted for when only looking at the cigar itself.
I think it is due to all the additives honestly, there are at least 50 known carcinogens put into most cigarettes. Cigars and pipe tobacco are 100% tobacco no additives.
Amen, brother! Allegedly, they asked Spurgeon about cigars and he said he doesn't consider it a sin because he isn't smoking in excess. When asked what he considers to be excessive, Spurgeon replied, "Smoking 2 cigars at once!" 😉🙏💨
You'll notice the way a lot of "no-to-tobacco" brethren talk and meme candidly about their coffee habits in similar fashion. If I talked about my (moderate) tobacco use the way they talk about chugging fancy coffee I'd be sent express to rehab! 😂
Dewayne, Your “Why I smoke cigars” video is what got me into cigars. “Peace ‘from’ mind” is what I wanted to explore, and it’s been added value to my life. Sounds so weird after over a year of learning, trying, improving and enjoying cigars…but it’s true. I used to homebrew. I used to collect whiskey bottles in my travels, and now I enjoy cigars. What never changed was my regard for it all. If it is ever counterproductive, wasteful, disrespected or relied-upon, it goes away. Period. But if it gives you a moment and space to reflect and savor - without regret or consequence - I’m adding it to the menu. One step backwards, and sometimes five forward. My grandfather smoked both cigars and pipes; I inherited his pipe but have yet to try it. I guess I don’t feel ‘ready’ to. But will I enjoy that Padron, EP Carrillo, AJ Fernandez and Tatuaje after a long day of good work? Hell yeah I will. And the family will never be neglected. Thanks for a great video, and for always keeping nuance at the front of all you say. PS- Gotta try EPC ‘INCH’ maduro. 6x60. Takes more time to light, but such a mild and creamy smoke. Cheers.
I think a beginner’s guide from Dewayne to pipe packing, tamping, lighting, cleaning would be very insightful for people who are curious to try it. I see very expensive, beautiful looking pipes at the cigar store but very hesitant to give it a try without knowing what to do
The one that got me into pipes was a hand carved pipe with an ivory mouthpiece, idk I’m new to it but I think find one that speaks to you and fits you as far as finding one. Everything else I kinda just winged it as far as using it.
Briar pipes are the best in my opinion. However, if you want a good intro to pipe smoking, Missouri Meerschaums are a cheap way to get into it. However, they tend to be better with flavored tobacco-say, a good black cavendish or rum flavored tobacco. Many beginners start with vanilla or cherry flavored tobacco, and those work with those good old corn cob pipes as well.
I started with 2 corn cob pipes (Missouri Meerschaum’s Country Gentleman, one straight, one bent), a small pouch of Carter Hall tobacco, a tin of Eileen’s Dream tobacco, and a couple of Muttenchop Piper videos. The journey took off nicely from there. The cost was about $60. You can buy just one pipe and one tobacco for half that, but the knowledge and enjoyment that you get for the additional cost is priceless.
As both cigar & pipe smoker,both bring me a calmness in this hurry,rush,rush day in age,I fly fish & my greatest time is when I arrive,I grab my pipe & coffee,before I even wet a line,go sit on the bank/shore & finish both,at that moment in time,everything slows down & I observe the water & world around me,calming & peaceful,which we all need more of these days 🤙🙏
My dad smoked both pipes and cigars. I picked up the cigar habit early in life. I never even smoked a pipe until after he passed away and my mom gave me his pipe collection. I kept two and passed them onto my son. He smokes his grandpa’s pipes more often than I do. Pipes, you have to pay attention to. A cigar, you light once and move along.
Thanks for the video! Been a pipe smoker for 50+ years. Been enjoying premium cigars for a few years, mostly Maduro's. The doc suggested I quit smoking a pipe so I told him I did, I switched to cigars , he didn't appreciate that LOL. I'd have to say that I agree with you on the health benefit and the poor diet that is killing the country as well. I am 70 next month and still strong as a horse and keeping up with many younger guys, still on the clock 50+ hours a week plus run a small farm. Thanks so much for this video and it's content, Good for you!!
As a smoker of both, I love pipes and cigars and like you said, they both have their time and place. Pipe (to me) offer more tasting notes of natural tobacco, and can be utilized if you don’t want to sit down for an hour. Cigars don’t need babysitting as you mentioned and are perfect for meditation if you have uninterrupted free time.
Been a cigar and pipe smoker since college. Used to smoke in a back alley shop with a bunch of older gentlemen, and we had days when we all smoked cigars, and other days we all smoked pipes. Favorite flavor cigar is the CAO Potomac, favorite type of pipe tobacco was the Hobbits weed blend that was specially blended by the shop I regularly frequented.
When I started this video, it had been posted for five minutes and had 65 likes. I was 66. Now at the end of the video there are over 200 likes. NICE! I started my cigar smoking journey because of you, Dewayne. Sorry if I spelled that wrong. But a year later, after watching the Pipe Cottage, I also got into pipes. I also smoke cigars more than pipes. You are an honest man, and at 63 years of age, I think you are a very wise man. Thanks for all you do.
Welcome to this beautiful journey. I hopped on this wagon about ten years ago. What got me into it was whiskey. I’d go online and see people pairing it with a cigar. Never smoked a cig a day in my life. Tried pipes for a minute and always come back to cigars. It’s like meditation. I appreciate all the love and care and labor that goes into a cigar.
I want more of these videos. Get on here and ramble about whatever you want we will listen! Feels like sitting with an old friend at a campfire. Love it! Love from Central Illinois.
disabled veteran / heavy medical cannabis user here, I find the process of preparing the cannabis for consumption (i have recently migrated from combusting flower to using portable dry flower vaporizers, currently smoking on the ooze verge), I find myself deep in contemplating thoughts, and enjoying the beauty and colors of nature, as I have discovered that I possess tetrochromacy. taking time out of the day to contemplate and enjoy the ritual of marijuana smoking. I have watched your videos on the background on my computer while I take college classes really helps me meditate during my relaxation/study time at night. God bless you sir.
I’m turning 23 soon. Was never much of a smoker previously. But I’ve started to get into cigars, and now pipes. I love it. It’s relaxing, not just contemplating. It think it’s a great way to just slow down, take a minute to relax and think. Cigars are definitely easier to think to though! Thank you sir, for this nice video! Always love watching.
You’re spot on Dwane! It’s not the nicotine and tobacco, it’s the stress, junk food and sugar that kills. Smoking is not a sin, Pride, self-righteousness and judging your brothers and sisters is a sin.
I am also a pipe and cigar smoker. You might find this interesting: I read a study on the country with the highest tobacco usage in the world and the top one was Iceland. Up untill the 19 teens, Iceland had a quite low cancer rate compared to other countries. But after that, the rate shot up. It shot up again in the 1930s. What changed? In both cases the Atlantic Convoys made pit stops in Iceland. This increased two factors: Bunker oil and gasoline/diesel use. The bunker oil was to fill up the ships and the rest for truck/car fuel. Before that Icelanders got around in wagons with Iceland ponies pulling the load. I contend it is NOT tobacco; it is the COMBINATION of something in the tobacco (probably additives or tar) and petroleum or petroleum polution. Just food for thought.
@@pilgrimm23 Depends on the brand of cigarettes, especially American cigarettes where there can be up to 5000 chemical additives and at least 50 known carcinogens put in them, a self rolled or pure tobacco cigarette isn't the same as these types of cigarettes.
Remember reporting of diseases , logging into databases, population increase, pesticides and etc were all exponentially changed around that time. High fructose corn syrup etc. Wasn’t the just the tobacco, fossil fuels burning etc
I had a very elderly friend of mine who used to joke about a frugal smoker who smoked his cigar down to a stub, then put the stub in his pipe and smoked it to ashes, then used the ashes for snuff. Pretty funny from a good friend who was born before 1900.
Hilariously, there's actually a pipe specially designed to smoke cigars down. I also know some people who cut out the cigar tobacco and mix it into a bowl.
My first pipe was a simple savinelli and i love it. I also recommend Dr. Grabow or Missouri Meercham corncobs for beginners. A savinelli or Peterson you can't go wrong if you got a little more money. As far as tobaccos i recommend peterson early morning pipe, escudo navy deluxe, or most macbaren blends. Also, Orlik Golden Sliced is great if you want that Virginia kick on a warmer day.
Something about sitting out on my back deck with a cup of coffee enjoying my pipe while watching this video has been the most soothing, relaxing thing I've experienced in a long time. I've been watching your videos for some time now, so you feel like an old friend. So I'd just like to say thanks old friend, for sharing a coffee and a smoke with me
Great video Dewayne. I think your point about stress being the biggest killer is spot on. That’s why I smoke a cigar a day. 50-60 minutes of no time to relax,contemplate and be phone free. To each their own but it works for me.
As ever, a relaxing video that makes a lot of sense. Thank you kindly. I’m off for a coffee and a pipe in the garden. Maybe watch the grass grow whilst I think about cutting it. Cheers!
I think there is also something about the way cigars are made. A professional artisan rolled them in a specific way to give you a specific experience. Id compare it to going to a good restaurant, while smoking pipes is like cooking at home.
I sense that your not too familiar with the farming process of quality pipe tobacco.... You can cook at home every night, but it’s what you put on the table that makes the difference. I usually cook and prepare foods that you just cant find in a restaurant.
It's like I tell my holy rolling friends who keep trying to get me to come to church, I probably pray and talk to God more with my pipe in hand than they do on any given Sunday. That is what I use my pipe time for. I use it for reflection, thought, and to talk to God.
"and they're fat" enough said! You're the most honest, sincere and wise man ive come across on TH-cam when it comes to cigar abd tobacco/premium cigars. I love a good cigar myself and gods got nothing to do with it! Does more for my health be it mental health or physical than anything else.
I only smoked cigars before. Two months ago I was driving to Portugal and I put this video to listen on my way there. What a rich video and a multifaceted one ! Lots to learn, lots of good thinking. Arriving I bought my first pipe and I have being smoking pipes since then, every day. I just found a very great pleasure, one that calms me and help me think and organise my life. The spiritual side of this is not negligible. Your videos, Sir, are excellents. Thanks a lot !
Good morning, sir. Thank you so much. My adopted Dad got me into smoking cigars and I absolutely love it. Especially when taking long drives or as a stress reliever from work. I switch, depending on what I have, between the thicker cigars and the Black and Mild wood tip wine flavor cigars. I hope you and yours have a wonderful day, please stay safe, and stay cool. Smoke on.
As always sir, OUTSTANDING. I do not abide those arm chair tubers who think thoughts you described. As stated, I do whats right for me. Thank You Dewayne.
As a 41 yr old man, I've been a whole hearted Christian for most my life. I may not smoke tobacco but I do enjoy natural snuff tobacco. If that's a conviction for some, well, that's them. But for those of us not bothered, please show some respect. I appreciate your talk brother 👍
Im from the UK and I'm 54 years of age. I'm a pipe smoker and also a personal trainer/sports therapist. I have to say I'm both surprised and delighted with what you say around the food pyramid and the carbohydrates advice. Quite brilliantly put across. Very well articulated indeed. I salute you because the advice you put out in this video regarding tobacco use and nutrition is 100% correct. I never saw your advice on nutrition coming hence my surprise but how refreshing. Honestly I was delighted to hear what you had to say on the impact food manufacturers have had on our health. Take a bow sir, I absolutely salute you
@jefferymullen4567 Same! Cigars actually got me back into reading the Bible regularly. It’s relaxing to sit back with a good cigar, alcohol of choice and the Bible app.
Amen Brother! I too am a believer and indulge in cigars 2-3 times a day. Thanx so much for verbalizing the truth , and yes it is stress relief and I have much Peace,,,no one will steal my Joy as it falls from Our Farther above. Dude you are my twin! God Bless You and Yours!
I think it's pretty cool that I was just talking about the same thing with a few friends yesterday. We came to the conclusion that both pipes and cigars are a gift from God and we should enjoy them!
As a young man I fell in love with cigars a few years ago on a trip to the Dominican Republic. I have since began smoking a pipe too, but not nearly as often. I enjoy both, but pipes are hard for me. Cigars aren’t nearly as expensive as most people think, probably due to how they’re portrayed in the media with only the rich smoking them. But I love introducing new people to pure tobacco. And I find it’s one of the few times that I can sit down with a man and talk without any outside input of phones or screens. I feel more connected to history as well. It’s just a real soothing past time that I wish more took part in. Also, as a Christian I like to spend time with my God while enjoying tobacco. Just as people used to light incense or burn their offering to pray to the Lord, I like to imagine my smoke carries my words up to the Father as well. Not that it’s necessary. But it is a nice spiritual time for me.
A big difference between pipes and cigars is that a pipe will go out even while you are actively smoking it, and a cigar will stay lit even if you put it down for five minutes.
I quit cigarettes a short time ago. Switched to cigars and don’t regret it. Despite the pricey nature of cigars, they’re still more economical long term compared to the former. Having one right now as I type this. Love videos like this
I wholeheartedly agree about sugar, high carbs, seed oils and processed foods causing 90% of modern health problems. My health improved dramatically when I cut out all that garbage. I no longer have high blood pressure or take medications. Eating keto or carnivore is the way to go. Keep up the great videos!
My lovely wife had a stroke last week, we’re both cigarette smokers. She needs to quit and I’m trying to support her but, I love smoking cigarettes. I gave up all my other vices and I was going to hold onto cigarettes with a death grip. Well, here we are. I don’t think I can give up nicotine so I’ve been trying to move over to cigars. I used to smoke cigars in my early 20s with a good friend of mine who was a cigar smoker. He passed away and I slowly stopped cigars and stayed on the cigarettes. I prefer cigarettes just because of the ease of smoking a cigarette. I know cigars are less deadly, I’m hoping I can stick to it. The switch isn’t easy for me. Good talk Dwayne. My wife is doing great btw, still talking a little silly as her brain is still healing but she’s gunna be A-OK. Thank god.
Praying for you wife. May I ask what your cigar smoking friend passed away by? Was it any heart related issues or a cardiac event or a stroke? Feel 100% free to not answer if you don't want to.
My wife is doing great, thank you! My friend died from stomach cancer, he was 56. He also had testicular cancer in his 20s that he was able to get rid of by removing 1 testicle. It ran in his family for the males to die young, his brother is in his 60s now and I believe he’s the longest living male in their family history and he has his own medical issues. It wasn’t related to cigars, if that what you’re curious about. They maybe didn’t help but, chances are cancer was bound to get him one way or another. He was also a heavy cigarette smoker and drug user in his younger years.
@@PickupsAreNotTrucks Thank you for your answer. So probably the bigger player was his genetics I guess than cigars. I wanted to ask the question because I'm also a cigar smoker myself, and I had been having some heart burns for the last few months, but my family generally is clear of any form of cancer really. My maternal grandfather has had a few cancers in his life and passed away from the last one he had but that's at the age of 75 and I had been thinking what I had been having cannot be cancer especially me only being in my early thirties. I also have been having occasional palpitations in my chest but I don't think I have any heart defects in my genetics either having known no family members with any heart issues most of whom are still alive and well well into their elderly ages. But thank you for taking your time answering my question again. I will keep praying for your wife also whenever I remember you and your comment.
Wow, thank you so very much for this. This was so encouraging! I am in my second year of pipe smoking, I also enjoy a good cigar; we were in a minor leadership position in a church amd were screamed at about smoking cigarettes by the leadership. They also said whatever we said would be held in strict confidance and then went outside of that trust because we weren't repentive enough and told a bunch of people who didnt need to know in the church. They gave us 8 weeks to quit and tried to shove pills on us... Needless to say...We have since left that church and all that crazy behind. It was a very bad witness and we struggled for a long time with it. We came to a lot of the same conclusions that you talked about here. If i could just encourage you to continue to make videos about things. I really appreciate this its nice to know thwre are other like minded believers out there. Peace be unto you and your family Shalom -Will-
Man your videos make so much sense to me. I too love a cigar and a pipe. I mostly use smokeless tobacco but occasionally like a smoke. I drink black coffee with a little bit of organic grass fed salted butter in it. I don’t read my Bible as much as I should but I still know Jesus Christ is Lord of Lords and King of Kings. God bless you and your family
Dark fired is awesome. I’ve lately been smoking some Mac barren rustica that I stashed back in 2021. I still have a couple tin unopened. It’s stronger than dark fired even. I don’t like weak tobacco. What’s the point?
Thank you for this channel man. Its so valuable As a 35 year old guy who also like to have a cigarillo, cigar or pipe every once in a while, i clicked on this video. Your calm assuring aura is a blessing, i hope i can absorb some of that calm demeanor and bring it into my own life 🤝❤
Speaking from a British perspective, there is certainly a difference in character and attitude of someone who would choose to smoke a pipe, rather than a cigar. The main difference between our two countries is that the UK is very 'class conscious', when compared to our anglo-sphere brethren - in the USA at least. Culturally, us Brits are far more prone to make value judgements one someone based on the activities they partake in, due to the very unique micro-gradations that define our class structure. If you meet someone for the first time, and you ask them what their hobbies are, and you're met with the reply "Well, I like playing cricket on a Saturday, and I go shooting with my old schoolmates on a Wednesday evening." You can instantly feel out a sense of their position in the social/class hierarchy, in this case, the man is solidly in the middle class/lower-upper middle class, as those activities are associated with money. Likewise, if you asked another person of a different background the same question and they replied "I like to play snooker on Friday nights at the conservative club and watch Nottingham Forest games on television." you instantly know that the person in question is working class. It seems mad, but the same is true with the simple act of smoking. Smoking cigarettes/thin-cigarillo cigars are almost exclusively something that a working class person would do. On the other hand, pipe smoking is definitely viewed as historically a middle class thing to do (although today, if you're young and you start smoking a pipe in public, you'd probably be on the receiving end of some very funny looks). Cigar smoking, on the other hand, is almost exclusively an activity for the aristocrat/elite class. Think Winston Churchill. You might see the odd person at the pub smoking a pipe, but NEVER a cigar. In fact, it'd be considered a faux-pas to do such a thing in front of other people, as it's seen as boorish and a flaunting of your social standing. This may seem bizarre to Americans, but hand on heart, it is true.
Sounds Totally bizarre, but I believe it. It sounds very shallow minded to be honest... But here in the states, a man can be driving a Lamborghini, and still be broke.
@@airadaimagery692 The same goes for a lot of things. Traditionally, Brits were known for their understatement of bad situations. I was reading a book about WW2 a few weeks ago, and there's a poignant meeting of an American and British Naval officer, where the American (who is unused to this understatement) mistakes the British officer's modesty for unseriousness: “When the Americans came aboard, he noted a conversation between a US Navy officer and his British opposite number in which the American took the Royal Navy man’s stoic cheerfulness about their situation: ‘I guess you boys take this war very lightly,’ said the American. ‘Oh, yes. Rather.,’ replied the Englishman - who had mere weeks earlier been aboard the battleship Royal Oak when she was torpedoed and sunk with great loss, and whose Portsmouth home had been obliterated by bombs with his wife and child amongst the dead.”. The Phoney Victory - Peter Hitchens It's just different cultures, and unfortunately the old ways are dying out as we become more 'americanised' through television and music.
Man, I just found your videos again. They have always come to me when I need them. I’m 19 so I’m not old enough to buy pipes or cigars or pipe tobacco but when I am old enough, I probably will because I like the smell of tobacco and cigars and it just seems like such a good way to think a good way to disconnect technology a good way to connect with the Lord and I know that might sound weird but it seems like it would be so easy to just pray and talk to God while sitting and smoking a pipe or cigar please don’t ridicule me for that those who read this. It’s just what I think anyways thanks for the video. Always love to watch these.
I love the cigar videos! Started the cigar hobby cus of this channel. Good or bad for me? Expensive for sure. I will say the studies I found from fda and other credible sources all show 1-2 daily are not harmful. My job is in data research so naturally I wanted to see how bad this was for me and was surprised at the results. I thank you Dwayne, I never would have thought I’d smoke anything, I hated my parents cigarettes growing up.
The way you speak and pace out your words is a very special thing. My grandfather was like that, and every day my dad is more and more the spitting image of my grandfather. I think it's great that you're showing some of these younger men, like my last boss, who never had decent male role models what a decent gentleman who isn't afraid to mature can be.
As both a pipe and cigar smoker, I really appreciate your defense of us, including from a Biblical point of view! You are spot on recognizing that the stress relieving activity of smoking a pipe or cigars far outweighs the health risks of tobacco smoke. Thank you DeWayne!
16:13 Andrew Huberman is the man you’re referencing here who has hi-lighted the positive effects of nicotine recently. Just wanted to respectfully correct in case anyone was curious. I enjoy your videos when I catch ‘em Dewayne keep up the impactful work 🐎
Hey Dwayne, my grandfather smoked for very close to 50 years, started smoking right as he volunteered for the war in ‘42 and they’d send care packages overseas for the troops like comics and newspapers and gum, etc., and he’d smoke and he lived till he was 76. Strong man, loved to garden, always drank water out this ladle when he’d pull the bucket out of the well. Never had stress, bared ate unhealthy. Me, I smoke cigars once in a blue moon mainly because I found myself being very lonely and stressed in my younger years. I’ve smoked for damn near 12 years now and when a doctor checks my lungs and listens to them, he said “you don’t smoke, that’s good”. Imagine his surprise.
Your story at the end was really fun! I love the idea of sitting with God and enjoying a cigar. Not sure if he's smoke with me, but I'm sure he'd allow me to partake. I really feel honesty and contemplation come out during cigar sessions.
Dewayne, I used to smoke hand-rolled cigarettes but gave them up 23 years ago at 30 years old as I wascled to believe it was terrible for me. After seeing through all the crap I've recently taken up pipe smoking and find it a tremendous benefit that helps alleviate the stress of my teaching job. My wife is a nurse of 30 years and has nursed far more people who have died of lung cancer but never smoked in their lives than actual smokers killed by the disease. I'll believe what I experience for myself from here on.
Is DeWayne wearing a Seiko Alpinist‽ That's the same watch I own, and my favourite! A great timepiece, and perfect for the outdoors. I hope you and yours are well ")
@@TackRoomBibleTalk Indeed. The Alpinist is a part of that range. I think yours is the SPB121J1 (The one with the cyclops lens over the date) if so, its the exact same model as mine. A wonderful watch regardless!
I also like both. But I find that with pipes, it's more work. That's why I usually just go for a cigar. Also, I find the flavors more full bodied and interesting in cigars. Pipes can get very hot and airy, and never quite give you that depth that cigars can.
I enjoy both pipes and cigars... started smoking them while on deployment in Iraq 15 years ago. Something between fighting men, I guess. Over the years, I've come to appreciate that cigars stay lit after the first time, and I can just smoke it without having to fool with it. I'm not in a hurry to get rid of my pipes, though... Your videos are always inspirational. Thanks for your content. Peace to you from Alaska! PS.. Radon causes as much lung cancer than any other cause, accounting for all the cases of lung cancer in non-smokers. So... not only are "they" lying to us, they are also silent about a lot of things they don't want us to know. So it pays to do research, to contemplate what you've learned, and smoke a cigar in the process. 😲
@@siegfriedv.hammerstahl7919 I have yet to try anything from Padron. I'm always tempted but get sidetracked. Waiting for the El Gueguense from Foundation and a couple samplers from Rocky Patel and Tatuaje right now. Padron will be next on my list.
I'm a young man and don't smoke at all, but find your facts and words to make me personally re think, and re evaluate what i was told. I've watched all your cigar videos and really enjoy them, thanks for all you do also enjoy your talking sound like a wise cowboy. Gonna have to try a cigar sometime for myself, hope to see more videos.
Cigarette manufacturers add chemicals to their product. One chemical in particular is meant to stimulate the part of the brain that causes addiction. It’s not the nicotine that causes addiction for cigarette smokers, it’s the additive. You won’t meet many pipe and cigar smokers that are addicted to nicotine. And if you do, it’s generally former cigarette smokers.
There is also a difference in taste. Even natural unflavored pipe tobacco is sweeter more flowery but in most cases pipe tobacco is sauced flavored anyhow and quite different from cigars. My father was a pipe smoker but he never smoked cigars. I once heard a story about a guy who was so thrifty that he smoke his cigar stumps in a pipe to not waste them.
Another fantastic video DeWayne. Out of alk the pipe blends that I've tried i would have to that Cornell & Diehl's Old Joe Krantz is the closest that I've found to taste like a maduro cigar.
This brings me back to the video you released about the "brotherhood of the Leaf" . You also told a story about a fella who participated in one of your wrangling classes, who had said to his wife that he didn't know he could smoke cigars on that trip , and you offered him a cigar. Sir, I have to say, listen to you speak about your philosophy on life has gotten my attention. I've smoked cigarettes for most of my life, dabbled in smoking pipe for the past 10 years . I'm almost cigarette free and mostly smoke a pipe and I feel better for it. I'm with you about not liking being looked down upon for smoking tobacco by the general public. I've worked hard my whole life building other peoples dreams as a framing carpenter building houses, and I've reached a point in my life where it's time to slow down and relax, and smoking a pipe is how I've been doing it.
I'm 23 and recently got into cigars. Everything you said I agree with, men these days are heavily stressed. I'm just happy I've found something I can go outside my garage, observe the woods across the street and just relax.
Dewayne was a big influence on me and the main reason I started smoking a cigar and it has been a great pleasure for me. I have no use for religion, but I do love the cigars.
Interestingly I was watching this video while smoking a hookah and one particular insight I got from the video is the importance of thinking about nothing else rather than the pipe you're smoking. Contrary to what many believe while smoking a pipe you can't really contemplate about nothing else except for the smoking at hands. If that makes sense
Decades ago, I read a study showing cigarettes tobacco was bad becouse all the chemicals used for them, like insecticides. While most of the pipe and Cigar industries didn't so weren't bad. I always remind people the George Burns smoked 1-2 big fat stogies and had 3 fingers of whiskey everyday since his teens till his death at 100yrs. He didn't have lung or liver problems
Thanks Dewayne. As a follower of Christ I enjoy cigars and the Holy Spirit has never convicted me about it, and He lets me know on the regular when i shouldnt be doing something. I do think that some things can be sinful for some and not for others based on what the Spirit tells you and your past with a substance. Example would be for me drinkin a bourbon is fine, but for a Christian thats a recovering alcoholic is probably going to feel that conviction of "God doesnt want ME doing this". God bless and smoke responsibly yall
I am also a pipe and cigar guy. And I am smoking way more cigars than pipes. One reason is Maine in its infinate wisdom has made it impossible for smoke shops to survive. They have ruled that there cannot be any onsite blending of tobacco. Well that's alot of the business of a good smoke shop. It's allowed to sell cigars, but it took away at least 1/2, maybe more of the business. However they do allow a pot shop on every corner. That to me is comical and aggravating. I enjoy all your videos very much, and thank you for them. Oh, and I smoke Liga Undercrown Maduro.
You really spoke my mind on this one. I’m more likely to smoke a cigar than a pipe, but I LOVE a pipe. Cigars don’t require as much attention, so that’s perfect when I’m hanging out with good friend, been drinking, and just having a good time. But when I need to be alone, or better yet, when I’m camping, nothing beats a pipe. And…some good smokey scotch.
100% with you on this one sir, as a side note most (if not all) of the studies on smoking are pre-rolled cigarettes, full of externally added chemicals. I would be very interested in studies on pure organic tobacco. Also lung cancer has risen linearly since maybe the 60's, but smoking has decreased linearly. If you overlay the increase in lung cancer graph with the proliferation of diesel vehicles graph they match perfectly. That's an interesting correlation!
When i smoke a pipe, I am a better listener, when i smoke a cigar, i am a better conversationalist.
Cigar is my preferred, alone or in a group. That said, if I have something to contemplate, and stew on, it's done over a pipe
Well reasoned comment, must have came up with that smoking your pipe.
6 in one, half dozen in the other. Being a good conversationalist requires good listening.
That means that 2 cigar smokers would just talk and the pipe smokers would just listen to nothing. Haha
As a pipe smoker, a pipe maker, and a cigar enthusiast, this couldn't have been more pleasant. I've always summed up the difference for myself between a cigar and a pipe as this; a cigar is "Let's get right to the point." and a pipe is "Aint no point to get to, let's just wander.". The enjoyment of tobacco is literally thousands of years old, multicultural, and has great positive religious use in multiple faiths. And like all things, in moderation, can be very beneficial. Thank for the video Dewayne.
Same here I be enjoying making pipes smoking it and hanging around with guys smoking cigars
My Dad use to finish off his cargr in his pipe

Yep, tobacco has been utilize in many ways including medicinal, therapeutically also adding being used in ceremonial settings - gatherings citing it to be a peace pipe when done in more social settings. It's a been a wonder plant for many years before the westernized use of daily usage.
When I’m the engineer I smoke my pipe. If I’m the conductor switching cars on the ground; I smoke a cigar so I do have to keep relighting or worry about the ash blowing into my face riding rail cars.
A cigarette is like watching a commercial, a cigar is like watching a movie, and a pipe is like reading a book.
Keep up the wonderful content Mr Noel!
I like your explanation. Guess a vape is like a intrusive ad
Vape is spam.😊
Vape is like scanning the Grindr app and watching TikTok
@@CameronLestagez hahaha!
This is well said.
I use a different analogy.
A cigarette is a hot dog.
A cigar is a ribeye.
A pipe is a filet.
They're all meat yes, but one is disgusting and the other 2 are preference.
Cancer clinician from TN here. It likely has more to do with genetics than anything else. My grandfather was a WWII vet and started smoking at 9. He smoked up to 3 packs of Marlboro Reds per day. At one point was an alcoholic. He ate bacon every day and was close to 250lbs. He died of lung cancer at age 86 after refusing treatment after he was diagnosed. Sounds like a good life to me doing what he enjoyed without a worry in the world. His son, my uncle, never smoked, never drank and tried to take care of himself by being active. He died 20 years younger than his father of a sudden heart attack. We never know what's going to take us out of this world so may as well enjoy it. As for me I enjoy a cigar every now and then.
I think it has to do with stress levels and artificial additives in our food
@@Martin-hn1yj your genetics determine how you handle anything you put in your body whether it's cigars or herbicides. If your body can't repair itself because you have defective DNA repair genes then you're more likely to get cancer. If you have overexposure to certain chemicals (natural or otherwise) it increases the risk for a run away effect on genes that can become cancerous. If you damage your immune system, it can increase your risk of cancer. Stress and how you respond to it may also be determined by genetics. So I agree with you. That's why many things, even a salad should be enjoyed in moderation and why having a diversified diet is important. Smoking can increase your risk of cancer but having a cigar may have other benefits that aren't accounted for when only looking at the cigar itself.
I think it is due to all the additives honestly, there are at least 50 known carcinogens put into most cigarettes. Cigars and pipe tobacco are 100% tobacco no additives.
Genetics has alot to do with it.
Cigarette smokers inhale into their lungs.
Pipe/cigar smokers don't.
Amen, brother!
Allegedly, they asked Spurgeon about cigars and he said he doesn't consider it a sin because he isn't smoking in excess. When asked what he considers to be excessive, Spurgeon replied, "Smoking 2 cigars at once!" 😉🙏💨
You'll notice the way a lot of "no-to-tobacco" brethren talk and meme candidly about their coffee habits in similar fashion. If I talked about my (moderate) tobacco use the way they talk about chugging fancy coffee I'd be sent express to rehab! 😂
Literally, that's correct. All things done in excess and rashness = " sinful (missing the mark)😎
I can admit i’m a Christian with a very strong caffeine addiction. We all have a vice 😂
Hahhahahaha. I have heard that aswell. Good to know history.
That's before they knew how bad it was for you.
Right when I’m smoking my cigar. Perfect
Same here.

They don't want young men sitting alone, contemplating life, reflecting on things. They want them addicted to their phones.
I have recently started the habit of leaving my phone inside if i go out to smoke a cigar and I’ll bring either a book or pen and paper
Phones are not permitted around me if I am smoking a pipe or cigar.
I sat alone lastnight enjoying a nice CAO Bx3. And while I was alone with my thoughts. I solved every political issue in the world
@jacobg7966 smart...good for you
False the younger generation smokes cigars and while watching videos like this. The phone it self doesn't mean anything😂
Dewayne,
Your “Why I smoke cigars” video is what got me into cigars. “Peace ‘from’ mind” is what I wanted to explore, and it’s been added value to my life. Sounds so weird after over a year of learning, trying, improving and enjoying cigars…but it’s true.
I used to homebrew. I used to collect whiskey bottles in my travels, and now I enjoy cigars. What never changed was my regard for it all. If it is ever counterproductive, wasteful, disrespected or relied-upon, it goes away. Period. But if it gives you a moment and space to reflect and savor - without regret or consequence - I’m adding it to the menu. One step backwards, and sometimes five forward.
My grandfather smoked both cigars and pipes; I inherited his pipe but have yet to try it. I guess I don’t feel ‘ready’ to. But will I enjoy that Padron, EP Carrillo, AJ Fernandez and Tatuaje after a long day of good work? Hell yeah I will. And the family will never be neglected.
Thanks for a great video, and for always keeping nuance at the front of all you say.
PS- Gotta try EPC ‘INCH’ maduro. 6x60. Takes more time to light, but such a mild and creamy smoke. Cheers.
I think a beginner’s guide from Dewayne to pipe packing, tamping, lighting, cleaning would be very insightful for people who are curious to try it. I see very expensive, beautiful looking pipes at the cigar store but very hesitant to give it a try without knowing what to do
Hundreds of videos available
The one that got me into pipes was a hand carved pipe with an ivory mouthpiece, idk I’m new to it but I think find one that speaks to you and fits you as far as finding one. Everything else I kinda just winged it as far as using it.
Briar pipes are the best in my opinion. However, if you want a good intro to pipe smoking, Missouri Meerschaums are a cheap way to get into it. However, they tend to be better with flavored tobacco-say, a good black cavendish or rum flavored tobacco. Many beginners start with vanilla or cherry flavored tobacco, and those work with those good old corn cob pipes as well.
Morgan pipe bones, they are some of the least expensive high quality pipes, made of briar and hand crafted.
I started with 2 corn cob pipes (Missouri Meerschaum’s Country Gentleman, one straight, one bent), a small pouch of Carter Hall tobacco, a tin of Eileen’s Dream tobacco, and a couple of Muttenchop Piper videos. The journey took off nicely from there. The cost was about $60. You can buy just one pipe and one tobacco for half that, but the knowledge and enjoyment that you get for the additional cost is priceless.
Dewayne without a cowboy hat and denim shirt is crazy
I thought he was going to say that he traded in the horse for a Harley!
As both cigar & pipe smoker,both bring me a calmness in this hurry,rush,rush day in age,I fly fish & my greatest time is when I arrive,I grab my pipe & coffee,before I even wet a line,go sit on the bank/shore & finish both,at that moment in time,everything slows down & I observe the water & world around me,calming & peaceful,which we all need more of these days 🤙🙏
Great strategy too, you can eyeball fish rise and maybe even spot what bugs are being eaten if you’re lucky or have binoculars.

My dad smoked both pipes and cigars. I picked up the cigar habit early in life. I never even smoked a pipe until after he passed away and my mom gave me his pipe collection. I kept two and passed them onto my son. He smokes his grandpa’s pipes more often than I do. Pipes, you have to pay attention to. A cigar, you light once and move along.
Thanks for the video! Been a pipe smoker for 50+ years. Been enjoying premium cigars for a few years, mostly Maduro's. The doc suggested I quit smoking a pipe so I told him I did, I switched to cigars , he didn't appreciate that LOL. I'd have to say that I agree with you on the health benefit and the poor diet that is killing the country as well. I am 70 next month and still strong as a horse and keeping up with many younger guys, still on the clock 50+ hours a week plus run a small farm. Thanks so much for this video and it's content, Good for you!!
Wise man. My life has been a bad trail until i let go of my ego, pride and started thinking positively. Stay Uncommon!
Sir, I honestly love your videos they’ve helped me soo much in finding peace and I’ve learned a lot from you I hope that you never go away from TH-cam
Two people that I appreciate is J.R R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. A pipe and a pint.
Yes, and also in the LOTR movies, most of the heroes of the fellowship smoke a pipe.
Amen to that.
Do you watch Malcolm Guite? Very nice channel
I appreciate both of those gents too and the cigar and pipe. This is coming from a girl.
@@RobLewis3
Thanks. I will check it out.
Dewayne in yoga pants, sitting on a mat, smoking a cigar 😂 good visual
As a smoker of both, I love pipes and cigars and like you said, they both have their time and place. Pipe (to me) offer more tasting notes of natural tobacco, and can be utilized if you don’t want to sit down for an hour. Cigars don’t need babysitting as you mentioned and are perfect for meditation if you have uninterrupted free time.
Been a cigar and pipe smoker since college. Used to smoke in a back alley shop with a bunch of older gentlemen, and we had days when we all smoked cigars, and other days we all smoked pipes. Favorite flavor cigar is the CAO Potomac, favorite type of pipe tobacco was the Hobbits weed blend that was specially blended by the shop I regularly frequented.
When I started this video, it had been posted for five minutes and had 65 likes. I was 66. Now at the end of the video there are over 200 likes. NICE! I started my cigar smoking journey because of you, Dewayne. Sorry if I spelled that wrong. But a year later, after watching the Pipe Cottage, I also got into pipes. I also smoke cigars more than pipes. You are an honest man, and at 63 years of age, I think you are a very wise man. Thanks for all you do.
Welcome to this beautiful journey. I hopped on this wagon about ten years ago. What got me into it was whiskey. I’d go online and see people pairing it with a cigar. Never smoked a cig a day in my life. Tried pipes for a minute and always come back to cigars. It’s like meditation. I appreciate all the love and care and labor that goes into a cigar.
I want more of these videos. Get on here and ramble about whatever you want we will listen! Feels like sitting with an old friend at a campfire. Love it!
Love from Central Illinois.
disabled veteran / heavy medical cannabis user here, I find the process of preparing the cannabis for consumption (i have recently migrated from combusting flower to using portable dry flower vaporizers, currently smoking on the ooze verge), I find myself deep in contemplating thoughts, and enjoying the beauty and colors of nature, as I have discovered that I possess tetrochromacy. taking time out of the day to contemplate and enjoy the ritual of marijuana smoking. I have watched your videos on the background on my computer while I take college classes really helps me meditate during my relaxation/study time at night. God bless you sir.
Hoping it gets legal where I'm at. Learned through 40 years of drinking that alcohol is liquid misery...yet it's the one that is legal.
I’m turning 23 soon. Was never much of a smoker previously. But I’ve started to get into cigars, and now pipes. I love it. It’s relaxing, not just contemplating. It think it’s a great way to just slow down, take a minute to relax and think. Cigars are definitely easier to think to though! Thank you sir, for this nice video! Always love watching.
Thank you for your rambles, Dewayne. I find you thoughtful and refreshing.
You’re spot on Dwane!
It’s not the nicotine and tobacco, it’s the stress, junk food and sugar that kills.
Smoking is not a sin, Pride, self-righteousness and judging your brothers and sisters is a sin.
I am also a pipe and cigar smoker. You might find this interesting: I read a study on the country with the highest tobacco usage in the world and the top one was Iceland. Up untill the 19 teens, Iceland had a quite low cancer rate compared to other countries. But after that, the rate shot up. It shot up again in the 1930s. What changed? In both cases the Atlantic Convoys made pit stops in Iceland. This increased two factors: Bunker oil and gasoline/diesel use. The bunker oil was to fill up the ships and the rest for truck/car fuel. Before that Icelanders got around in wagons with Iceland ponies pulling the load. I contend it is NOT tobacco; it is the COMBINATION of something in the tobacco (probably additives or tar) and petroleum or petroleum polution. Just food for thought.
Also cigarettes were shipped all over the world during ww2
@@pnwrendezvous3751 true, but Iceland already had cigarettes locally and were generally smoked along with pipes.
@@pilgrimm23 Depends on the brand of cigarettes, especially American cigarettes where there can be up to 5000 chemical additives and at least 50 known carcinogens put in them, a self rolled or pure tobacco cigarette isn't the same as these types of cigarettes.
Remember reporting of diseases , logging into databases, population increase, pesticides and etc were all exponentially changed around that time. High fructose corn syrup etc. Wasn’t the just the tobacco, fossil fuels burning etc
@@CameronLestagez yep. there are many kinds of lies....
I had a very elderly friend of mine who used to joke about a frugal smoker who smoked his cigar down to a stub, then put the stub in his pipe and smoked it to ashes, then used the ashes for snuff. Pretty funny from a good friend who was born before 1900.
Hilariously, there's actually a pipe specially designed to smoke cigars down. I also know some people who cut out the cigar tobacco and mix it into a bowl.
I have a pipe designed to smoke the butt of a cigar. Never heard of anyone snorting ashes though...
Well said. Of all the real problems in the world, someone enjoying a pipe or cigar isn’t one of them. Enjoy your day!
I prefer pipes due to cost involved. For me, I'll have a cigar in a social setting but when I'm alone I prefer a pipe. Great video as always, Dwayne!
What pipe do you recommend for a new pipe smoker? I’ve been on cigars for a long time but I want to try
My first pipe was a simple savinelli and i love it. I also recommend Dr. Grabow or Missouri Meercham corncobs for beginners. A savinelli or Peterson you can't go wrong if you got a little more money. As far as tobaccos i recommend peterson early morning pipe, escudo navy deluxe, or most macbaren blends. Also, Orlik Golden Sliced is great if you want that Virginia kick on a warmer day.
Something about sitting out on my back deck with a cup of coffee enjoying my pipe while watching this video has been the most soothing, relaxing thing I've experienced in a long time. I've been watching your videos for some time now, so you feel like an old friend. So I'd just like to say thanks old friend, for sharing a coffee and a smoke with me
Love this guy he’s real that’s what we all love happy Sunday god bless
Great video Dewayne. I think your point about stress being the biggest killer is spot on. That’s why I smoke a cigar a day. 50-60 minutes of no time to relax,contemplate and be phone free. To each their own but it works for me.
Do you smoke the whole cigar in a day? When Dwayne said in the video that he has days where he smokes 4-5 of them, I was like man, that's a lot.
As a Christian cigar smoker, thank you for your content. Jesus is lord!
Jesus was smoker too.
Amen! Cigars for Jesus! 🙏🏼🙌🏼
Huh?
Christ is king
@@pmancovert Not a king but a prime minister.
A pipe is a relationship. A cigar is a one night stand.
One night stands ? Should contemplate that while ya smoke
Haha, well said sir!
Nothing brings me peace more than my pipe and a bit of music!
Especially music.
As ever, a relaxing video that makes a lot of sense.
Thank you kindly. I’m off for a coffee and a pipe in the garden.
Maybe watch the grass grow whilst I think about cutting it.
Cheers!
I think there is also something about the way cigars are made. A professional artisan rolled them in a specific way to give you a specific experience. Id compare it to going to a good restaurant, while smoking pipes is like cooking at home.
I sense that your not too familiar with the farming process of quality pipe tobacco.... You can cook at home every night, but it’s what you put on the table that makes the difference. I usually cook and prepare foods that you just cant find in a restaurant.
You provide such valuable advice to so many, thank you Dwayne.
It's like I tell my holy rolling friends who keep trying to get me to come to church, I probably pray and talk to God more with my pipe in hand than they do on any given Sunday. That is what I use my pipe time for. I use it for reflection, thought, and to talk to God.
I understand the sentiment but my brother, finding a true friend and seeing them every Sunday morning.
"and they're fat" enough said! You're the most honest, sincere and wise man ive come across on TH-cam when it comes to cigar abd tobacco/premium cigars. I love a good cigar myself and gods got nothing to do with it! Does more for my health be it mental health or physical than anything else.
My dad's best friend smoked cherry 🍒 flavored tobacco in a pipe Im 49 Ill never forget the aroma from that pipe growing up
I only smoked cigars before. Two months ago I was driving to Portugal and I put this video to listen on my way there. What a rich video and a multifaceted one ! Lots to learn, lots of good thinking. Arriving I bought my first pipe and I have being smoking pipes since then, every day. I just found a very great pleasure, one that calms me and help me think and organise my life. The spiritual side of this is not negligible. Your videos, Sir, are excellents. Thanks a lot !
Good morning, sir. Thank you so much. My adopted Dad got me into smoking cigars and I absolutely love it. Especially when taking long drives or as a stress reliever from work. I switch, depending on what I have, between the thicker cigars and the Black and Mild wood tip wine flavor cigars.
I hope you and yours have a wonderful day, please stay safe, and stay cool. Smoke on.
As always sir, OUTSTANDING. I do not abide those arm chair tubers who think thoughts you described. As stated, I do whats right for me. Thank You Dewayne.
As a 41 yr old man, I've been a whole hearted Christian for most my life. I may not smoke tobacco but I do enjoy natural snuff tobacco. If that's a conviction for some, well, that's them. But for those of us not bothered, please show some respect.
I appreciate your talk brother 👍
You nailed it, I can't afford quality cigars. Pipe smoker for over 30 years. I smoke mainly natural untreated tobacco. Be blessed
I dislike religious people, but love godly folks...
That says everything
That needs to be on a shirt

I heard that from a country preacher believe it or not
I believe Dwayne that this is your best video yet. I just saved it so I can revisit it. Thank you very much. You are the man.
Im from the UK and I'm 54 years of age. I'm a pipe smoker and also a personal trainer/sports therapist.
I have to say I'm both surprised and delighted with what you say around the food pyramid and the carbohydrates advice.
Quite brilliantly put across. Very well articulated indeed. I salute you because the advice you put out in this video regarding tobacco use and nutrition is 100% correct.
I never saw your advice on nutrition coming hence my surprise but how refreshing. Honestly I was delighted to hear what you had to say on the impact food manufacturers have had on our health. Take a bow sir, I absolutely salute you
I really like this light hearted stuff. It makes for a positive day
I'm a Christian that smokes pipes and cigars. I don't care what other people say, I'm gonna keep smoking them!
I love some Charles Spurgeon too!
@jefferymullen4567
Same! Cigars actually got me back into reading the Bible regularly. It’s relaxing to sit back with a good cigar, alcohol of choice and the Bible app.
As you should
Amen Brother! I too am a believer and indulge in cigars 2-3 times a day. Thanx so much for verbalizing the truth , and yes it is stress relief and I have much Peace,,,no one will steal my Joy as it falls from Our Farther above. Dude you are my twin!
God Bless You and Yours!
I think it's pretty cool that I was just talking about the same thing with a few friends yesterday. We came to the conclusion that both pipes and cigars are a gift from God and we should enjoy them!
As a young man I fell in love with cigars a few years ago on a trip to the Dominican Republic. I have since began smoking a pipe too, but not nearly as often. I enjoy both, but pipes are hard for me. Cigars aren’t nearly as expensive as most people think, probably due to how they’re portrayed in the media with only the rich smoking them. But I love introducing new people to pure tobacco. And I find it’s one of the few times that I can sit down with a man and talk without any outside input of phones or screens. I feel more connected to history as well. It’s just a real soothing past time that I wish more took part in.
Also, as a Christian I like to spend time with my God while enjoying tobacco. Just as people used to light incense or burn their offering to pray to the Lord, I like to imagine my smoke carries my words up to the Father as well. Not that it’s necessary. But it is a nice spiritual time for me.
A big difference between pipes and cigars is that a pipe will go out even while you are actively smoking it, and a cigar will stay lit even if you put it down for five minutes.
Depends on the humidity
Depends on moisture content and how you pack it
I quit cigarettes a short time ago. Switched to cigars and don’t regret it. Despite the pricey nature of cigars, they’re still more economical long term compared to the former. Having one right now as I type this. Love videos like this
I wholeheartedly agree about sugar, high carbs, seed oils and processed foods causing 90% of modern health problems. My health improved dramatically when I cut out all that garbage. I no longer have high blood pressure or take medications. Eating keto or carnivore is the way to go. Keep up the great videos!
Yes sir.
My lovely wife had a stroke last week, we’re both cigarette smokers. She needs to quit and I’m trying to support her but, I love smoking cigarettes. I gave up all my other vices and I was going to hold onto cigarettes with a death grip. Well, here we are. I don’t think I can give up nicotine so I’ve been trying to move over to cigars. I used to smoke cigars in my early 20s with a good friend of mine who was a cigar smoker. He passed away and I slowly stopped cigars and stayed on the cigarettes. I prefer cigarettes just because of the ease of smoking a cigarette. I know cigars are less deadly, I’m hoping I can stick to it. The switch isn’t easy for me. Good talk Dwayne. My wife is doing great btw, still talking a little silly as her brain is still healing but she’s gunna be A-OK. Thank god.
Praying for your wife!
Praying for you wife.
May I ask what your cigar smoking friend passed away by?
Was it any heart related issues or a cardiac event or a stroke?
Feel 100% free to not answer if you don't want to.
My wife is doing great, thank you!
My friend died from stomach cancer, he was 56. He also had testicular cancer in his 20s that he was able to get rid of by removing 1 testicle. It ran in his family for the males to die young, his brother is in his 60s now and I believe he’s the longest living male in their family history and he has his own medical issues.
It wasn’t related to cigars, if that what you’re curious about. They maybe didn’t help but, chances are cancer was bound to get him one way or another. He was also a heavy cigarette smoker and drug user in his younger years.
@@PickupsAreNotTrucks
Thank you for your answer.
So probably the bigger player was his genetics I guess than cigars.
I wanted to ask the question because I'm also a cigar smoker myself, and I had been having some heart burns for the last few months, but my family generally is clear of any form of cancer really.
My maternal grandfather has had a few cancers in his life and passed away from the last one he had but that's at the age of 75 and I had been thinking what I had been having cannot be cancer especially me only being in my early thirties.
I also have been having occasional palpitations in my chest but I don't think I have any heart defects in my genetics either having known no family members with any heart issues most of whom are still alive and well well into their elderly ages.
But thank you for taking your time answering my question again. I will keep praying for your wife also whenever I remember you and your comment.
JRR Tolkien got me into pipes!
Strider
Wow, thank you so very much for this. This was so encouraging!
I am in my second year of pipe smoking, I also enjoy a good cigar; we were in a minor leadership position in a church amd were screamed at about smoking cigarettes by the leadership. They also said whatever we said would be held in strict confidance and then went outside of that trust because we weren't repentive enough and told a bunch of people who didnt need to know in the church.
They gave us 8 weeks to quit and tried to shove pills on us...
Needless to say...We have since left that church and all that crazy behind. It was a very bad witness and we struggled for a long time with it.
We came to a lot of the same conclusions that you talked about here.
If i could just encourage you to continue to make videos about things. I really appreciate this its nice to know thwre are other like minded believers out there.
Peace be unto you and your family
Shalom

Brother... That was outstanding!👍🏻👍🏻
Man your videos make so much sense to me. I too love a cigar and a pipe. I mostly use smokeless tobacco but occasionally like a smoke. I drink black coffee with a little bit of organic grass fed salted butter in it. I don’t read my Bible as much as I should but I still know Jesus Christ is Lord of Lords and King of Kings. God bless you and your family

Speaking from a British perspective, there is certainly a difference in character and attitude of someone who would choose to smoke a pipe, rather than a cigar. The main difference between our two countries is that the UK is very 'class conscious', when compared to our anglo-sphere brethren - in the USA at least. Culturally, us Brits are far more prone to make value judgements one someone based on the activities they partake in, due to the very unique micro-gradations that define our class structure.
If you meet someone for the first time, and you ask them what their hobbies are, and you're met with the reply "Well, I like playing cricket on a Saturday, and I go shooting with my old schoolmates on a Wednesday evening." You can instantly feel out a sense of their position in the social/class hierarchy, in this case, the man is solidly in the middle class/lower-upper middle class, as those activities are associated with money. Likewise, if you asked another person of a different background the same question and they replied "I like to play snooker on Friday nights at the conservative club and watch Nottingham Forest games on television." you instantly know that the person in question is working class.
It seems mad, but the same is true with the simple act of smoking. Smoking cigarettes/thin-cigarillo cigars are almost exclusively something that a working class person would do. On the other hand, pipe smoking is definitely viewed as historically a middle class thing to do (although today, if you're young and you start smoking a pipe in public, you'd probably be on the receiving end of some very funny looks). Cigar smoking, on the other hand, is almost exclusively an activity for the aristocrat/elite class. Think Winston Churchill. You might see the odd person at the pub smoking a pipe, but NEVER a cigar. In fact, it'd be considered a faux-pas to do such a thing in front of other people, as it's seen as boorish and a flaunting of your social standing. This may seem bizarre to Americans, but hand on heart, it is true.
Sounds Totally bizarre, but I believe it. It sounds very shallow minded to be honest... But here in the states, a man can be driving a Lamborghini, and still be broke.
@@airadaimagery692 The same goes for a lot of things. Traditionally, Brits were known for their understatement of bad situations. I was reading a book about WW2 a few weeks ago, and there's a poignant meeting of an American and British Naval officer, where the American (who is unused to this understatement) mistakes the British officer's modesty for unseriousness:
“When the Americans came aboard, he noted a conversation between a US Navy officer and his British opposite number in which the American took the Royal Navy man’s stoic cheerfulness about their situation: ‘I guess you boys take this war very lightly,’ said the American. ‘Oh, yes. Rather.,’ replied the Englishman - who had mere weeks earlier been aboard the battleship Royal Oak when she was torpedoed and sunk with great loss, and whose Portsmouth home had been obliterated by bombs with his wife and child amongst the dead.”. The Phoney Victory - Peter Hitchens
It's just different cultures, and unfortunately the old ways are dying out as we become more 'americanised' through television and music.
Why is it considered a faux-pas to smoke a pipe in the pup? What's wrong in enjoying the pipe with your drink? That sounds really weird!
@@ahmedkanaan3349 It's seen as anachronistic and phoney, unless you're very old.
Man, I just found your videos again. They have always come to me when I need them. I’m 19 so I’m not old enough to buy pipes or cigars or pipe tobacco but when I am old enough, I probably will because I like the smell of tobacco and cigars and it just seems like such a good way to think a good way to disconnect technology a good way to connect with the Lord and I know that might sound weird but it seems like it would be so easy to just pray and talk to God while sitting and smoking a pipe or cigar please don’t ridicule me for that those who read this. It’s just what I think anyways thanks for the video. Always love to watch these.
I love the cigar videos! Started the cigar hobby cus of this channel. Good or bad for me? Expensive for sure. I will say the studies I found from fda and other credible sources all show 1-2 daily are not harmful. My job is in data research so naturally I wanted to see how bad this was for me and was surprised at the results. I thank you Dwayne, I never would have thought I’d smoke anything, I hated my parents cigarettes growing up.
Cigars are one of the few things that aren’t processed with a shit ton of chemicals, it’s just 2 ingredients, fruit pectin for the glue, and leaves.
The way you speak and pace out your words is a very special thing. My grandfather was like that, and every day my dad is more and more the spitting image of my grandfather. I think it's great that you're showing some of these younger men, like my last boss, who never had decent male role models what a decent gentleman who isn't afraid to mature can be.
“People want to be more righteous than God”. AMEN!
As both a pipe and cigar smoker, I really appreciate your defense of us, including from a Biblical point of view! You are spot on recognizing that the stress relieving activity of smoking a pipe or cigars far outweighs the health risks of tobacco smoke. Thank you DeWayne!
16:13 Andrew Huberman is the man you’re referencing here who has hi-lighted the positive effects of nicotine recently. Just wanted to respectfully correct in case anyone was curious. I enjoy your videos when I catch ‘em Dewayne keep up the impactful work 🐎
Hey Dwayne, my grandfather smoked for very close to 50 years, started smoking right as he volunteered for the war in ‘42 and they’d send care packages overseas for the troops like comics and newspapers and gum, etc., and he’d smoke and he lived till he was 76. Strong man, loved to garden, always drank water out this ladle when he’d pull the bucket out of the well. Never had stress, bared ate unhealthy. Me, I smoke cigars once in a blue moon mainly because I found myself being very lonely and stressed in my younger years. I’ve smoked for damn near 12 years now and when a doctor checks my lungs and listens to them, he said “you don’t smoke, that’s good”. Imagine his surprise.
Your story at the end was really fun!
I love the idea of sitting with God and enjoying a cigar. Not sure if he's smoke with me, but I'm sure he'd allow me to partake. I really feel honesty and contemplation come out during cigar sessions.
Dewayne, I used to smoke hand-rolled cigarettes but gave them up 23 years ago at 30 years old as I wascled to believe it was terrible for me. After seeing through all the crap I've recently taken up pipe smoking and find it a tremendous benefit that helps alleviate the stress of my teaching job. My wife is a nurse of 30 years and has nursed far more people who have died of lung cancer but never smoked in their lives than actual smokers killed by the disease. I'll believe what I experience for myself from here on.
Is DeWayne wearing a Seiko Alpinist‽
That's the same watch I own, and my favourite! A great timepiece, and perfect for the outdoors.
I hope you and yours are well ")
It’s a Seiko Prospex
@@TackRoomBibleTalk Indeed. The Alpinist is a part of that range. I think yours is the SPB121J1 (The one with the cyclops lens over the date) if so, its the exact same model as mine.
A wonderful watch regardless!
The "Your body is a temple" thing made me immediately think of all the incense and candles I've seen in church.
I also like both. But I find that with pipes, it's more work. That's why I usually just go for a cigar. Also, I find the flavors more full bodied and interesting in cigars. Pipes can get very hot and airy, and never quite give you that depth that cigars can.
I enjoy both pipes and cigars... started smoking them while on deployment in Iraq 15 years ago. Something between fighting men, I guess. Over the years, I've come to appreciate that cigars stay lit after the first time, and I can just smoke it without having to fool with it. I'm not in a hurry to get rid of my pipes, though... Your videos are always inspirational. Thanks for your content. Peace to you from Alaska! PS.. Radon causes as much lung cancer than any other cause, accounting for all the cases of lung cancer in non-smokers. So... not only are "they" lying to us, they are also silent about a lot of things they don't want us to know. So it pays to do research, to contemplate what you've learned, and smoke a cigar in the process. 😲
I’m enjoying a Perdomo 10th anniversary maduro while watching this video. Thanks for sharing.
My man! That is my go to cigar. Smoking the 20th Anniversary Maduro Super Toro as I type this. Best cigar company in my opinion.
@@MrHihowryou did you try Padrón ? Love them box pressed beauties !
@@siegfriedv.hammerstahl7919 I have yet to try anything from Padron. I'm always tempted but get sidetracked. Waiting for the El Gueguense from Foundation and a couple samplers from Rocky Patel and Tatuaje right now. Padron will be next on my list.
Great choice and my favorite Perdomo.
I'm a young man and don't smoke at all, but find your facts and words to make me personally re think, and re evaluate what i was told.
I've watched all your cigar videos and really enjoy them, thanks for all you do also enjoy your talking sound like a wise cowboy. Gonna have to try a cigar sometime for myself, hope to see more videos.
I’m a Christian; I’ve been a cigarette (and cigar) smoker for over fifty years.
I am an occasional cigarette smoker and I enjoy it. How different is cigar smoking. I would appreciate you inputs. Thanks.
Cigarette manufacturers add chemicals to their product. One chemical in particular is meant to stimulate the part of the brain that causes addiction. It’s not the nicotine that causes addiction for cigarette smokers, it’s the additive. You won’t meet many pipe and cigar smokers that are addicted to nicotine. And if you do, it’s generally former cigarette smokers.
There is also a difference in taste. Even natural unflavored pipe tobacco is sweeter more flowery but in most cases pipe tobacco is sauced flavored anyhow and quite different from cigars. My father was a pipe smoker but he never smoked cigars. I once heard a story about a guy who was so thrifty that he smoke his cigar stumps in a pipe to not waste them.
This is the reason I bought my pipe. I have yet to buy pipe tobacco
Another fantastic video DeWayne. Out of alk the pipe blends that I've tried i would have to that Cornell & Diehl's Old Joe Krantz is the closest that I've found to taste like a maduro cigar.
This brings me back to the video you released about the "brotherhood of the Leaf" . You also told a story about a fella who participated in one of your wrangling classes, who had said to his wife that he didn't know he could smoke cigars on that trip , and you offered him a cigar. Sir, I have to say, listen to you speak about your philosophy on life has gotten my attention. I've smoked cigarettes for most of my life, dabbled in smoking pipe for the past 10 years . I'm almost cigarette free and mostly smoke a pipe and I feel better for it. I'm with you about not liking being looked down upon for smoking tobacco by the general public. I've worked hard my whole life building other peoples dreams as a framing carpenter building houses, and I've reached a point in my life where it's time to slow down and relax, and smoking a pipe is how I've been doing it.
MY BEST PIPE = CORN COB. MY BEST CIGAR=LAGLORIA CUBANA-60 RING MADURO BLACK! GREAT TALK.
Partagas longdale or robusto....amphora pipe tobacco in a briar ...
I'm 23 and recently got into cigars. Everything you said I agree with, men these days are heavily stressed. I'm just happy I've found something I can go outside my garage, observe the woods across the street and just relax.
enjoying a Sunday maduro while listening to you
Dewayne was a big influence on me and the main reason I started smoking a cigar and it has been a great pleasure for me. I have no use for religion, but I do love the cigars.
Interestingly I was watching this video while smoking a hookah and one particular insight I got from the video is the importance of thinking about nothing else rather than the pipe you're smoking. Contrary to what many believe while smoking a pipe you can't really contemplate about nothing else except for the smoking at hands. If that makes sense
Decades ago, I read a study showing cigarettes tobacco was bad becouse all the chemicals used for them, like insecticides. While most of the pipe and Cigar industries didn't so weren't bad.
I always remind people the George Burns smoked 1-2 big fat stogies and had 3 fingers of whiskey everyday since his teens till his death at 100yrs. He didn't have lung or liver problems
Amen. God bless you brother Dewayne! Great video
Thanks Dewayne. As a follower of Christ I enjoy cigars and the Holy Spirit has never convicted me about it, and He lets me know on the regular when i shouldnt be doing something. I do think that some things can be sinful for some and not for others based on what the Spirit tells you and your past with a substance. Example would be for me drinkin a bourbon is fine, but for a Christian thats a recovering alcoholic is probably going to feel that conviction of "God doesnt want ME doing this". God bless and smoke responsibly yall
Love your videos specially your cigar and tobacco videos. Keep them coming. I like the fun side.
I am also a pipe and cigar guy. And I am smoking way more cigars than pipes. One reason is Maine in its infinate wisdom has made it impossible for smoke shops to survive. They have ruled that there cannot be any onsite blending of tobacco. Well that's alot of the business of a good smoke shop. It's allowed to sell cigars, but it took away at least 1/2, maybe more of the business. However they do allow a pot shop on every corner. That to me is comical and aggravating. I enjoy all your videos very much, and thank you for them. Oh, and I smoke Liga Undercrown Maduro.
Always appreciate your content, Dewayne
You really spoke my mind on this one. I’m more likely to smoke a cigar than a pipe, but I LOVE a pipe. Cigars don’t require as much attention, so that’s perfect when I’m hanging out with good friend, been drinking, and just having a good time. But when I need to be alone, or better yet, when I’m camping, nothing beats a pipe. And…some good smokey scotch.
Amen, sir! Great video. Hope you do more of these type videos!
100% with you on this one sir, as a side note most (if not all) of the studies on smoking are pre-rolled cigarettes, full of externally added chemicals. I would be very interested in studies on pure organic tobacco. Also lung cancer has risen linearly since maybe the 60's, but smoking has decreased linearly. If you overlay the increase in lung cancer graph with the proliferation of diesel vehicles graph they match perfectly. That's an interesting correlation!
Very good information, I love my cigars, never tried a pipe, but I may try it
How do you feel about heated tobacco devices like IQOS Luma?
