Love these stories sir, hope you make more of them. I really appreciate all you do for the pipe smoking community, and for your service to our great country.
You're correct about Andie McDowell. I worked with her back in the 90's on a film entitled "Michael." She also enjoyed Davidoff cigarillos. Love the Frosty bit, and I don't think C&D's corn cob blend was out at the time of this video:). Great content!
Thanks for the interesting information on famous pipe smokers. One of the interesting points to ponder is, unlike today, in the old days (i.e. 1940's and 50's and possibly 60's) most pipe smokers, famous and not so famous alike stuck with one blend and rarely varied. My grandfather was like that, he loved one called Royal Tivoli, a dutch Cavendish.. Whereas today, as you know, most of us have at least a few if not numerous tins in the rotation. Just a sign that the hobby is alive and well. I have an old empty tin of Edward G. Robinson in my attic somewhere, I'll try to dig it out this week and see if the label has the manufacturer's information. Keep up the good work. Your videos along with Matches 860 and NW pipesmoker are a highlight of my day. Doug Owen
Doug Owen - you're absolutely right, my grandfather was the same way, he smoked Prince Albert exclusively, every Christmas all the grandkids would give him a tin of Prince Albert as a present, by the end of the day he would have 5 tins which lasted him all year. Back then I think pipe smoking was just something you did, you found a blend you liked and smoked it all day, today we have more choices and it's grown into a hobby. 😃😃😃
Hello Muttonchop, Great video as per usual. You had me there at the end wondering whom on earth you were talking about! Now, if I may, I would like to share my opinion or version of the truth as regards certain smokers or their blends. Firstly, it might be of interest to know that Stanley Baldwin was the one who actually suggested the name Presbyterian Mixture to that very blend after having sampled some from a close friend. Secondly, it is to my knowledge that it's Sherlock Holmes's assistant, Dr Watson, who enjoyed the Arcadia blend (mentioned to produce a charming and unoffensive aroma). As for the detective himself, he was thought to have smoked a black shag (probably a steamed Virginia) that he kept in the end of a Persian slipper (whereas he stored his cigars in a coal bucket). Thirdly, William Faulkner was rumored to smoke a number of blends alongside Balkan Sobranie including Dunhill's My mixture, St. Bruno and Prince Albert. Finally, the Edward G. Robinson mixture was originally produced by Suttlif under his personal supervision. The blend was discontinued for some time and reintroduced a few years back. Once again, thank you for your entertaining and ever informative videos! Kindest regards. Ali
Thanks so much for getting your facts right about Oppenheimer, and explaining that he was part of a TEAM. He was the project lead, but the research and work was mostly done by others.
Thanks Mr Chop for another great video, I watched this one and the previous video with my girlfriend and she enjoyed your presenting as much as I do. Ignore negative people online , I don’t see them making high class content like you do and educating and informing everyone about this great hobby. Best wishes from England and we hope you have a Happy Christmas 👍
I know very little about tobacco blends and I'm new to pipe smoking in general. I previously enjoyed cigars but I'm trying to transition to pipe smoking I enjoy it much more. People always wanna act like they are all knowing don't be discouraged by them. I like your videos very much and I thank you for them👍👍👍
I remember reading in the old "Pipes & Tobaccos" magazine that when Faulkner died they found a lot of Walter Raleigh cans around his house and garage (used as storage containers for various things) concluding that when he couldn't get his favorite, he could always run down to the drugstore to get a reliable standby.
Great video Chris. Took me back to the mid 1970's when I first started smoking a pipe and had all of two blends in my collection which I smoked for years ... Captain Black and Sir Walter Raleigh. You did get me goinig with Frosty ... well done. Take care and be well.
These videos are fun and interesting, also your videos inspired my to buy my first Savinelli (in the form of a 320). Great stuff, keep up the good work!
Before you told me the "statue man" was Frosty i said i'd never invite him into my house. Now that you revealed his identity i think i will . I'd love a free corn cob pipe. Excellent video/humor.
Don't know if he was pipe smoker, but he had a memorable scene in " Father of the Bride " where he sits down in a comfortable chair and lights a pipe saying " I like a pipe. At the end of the day it slows everything down ". True. Anyway , this was spoken by Spencer Tracy.
Great collection of pipe smokers! There's one more person that I can think of. Singer and actor Burl Ives, who also voiced the snowman in Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer was a pipe smoker, and a picture of him with his pipe is on his first album cover.
Lutis Oscalander - thank you my friend, if you ever meet me you will find I am a light hearted guy, I like joking around, I think that's why my wife is still married to me, I keep her laughing. 😃😃😃
Watched a episode of CNN Anthony Bourdain show where they toured Faulkner's home. There was a tin of My Mixture next to his typewriter. Great videos brother!
very nice Chris soo much information im a big fan of Edward G Robinson and I've had his blend and liked it very much and Frosty the snowman classic Chris Happy smoking☃☃☃☃👍👍👍👍🎅🎅🎅🎅 best regards Pete
There are three blends of pipe tobacco under the Norman Rockwell name. They are Portrait, Mending the flag and Faithful Friend. Information came from pipes and cigars catalog
Edwin J Robinson starred in a fantastic movie, with Orson Welles and Loretta Young, called "The Stranger". Besides being a great movie with great performances, it is one of my favorite pipe smoking movies. It is worth it just to watch Robinson smoke his pipes. My advice is to watch it through for the story, which is wonderful, and then watch it again just for the pipe smoking. Of course its a movie, but he brings such a wonderful casual flare to his smoking scenes, it really makes one yearn for the days long gone, when pipe smoking was not the point, but was sort of the background music to one's life.
I was just wondering if you were going to do a follow up to the other video in this series while going through your channels playlist the other day. That Frosty sure is quite the character! ☃ Merry Christmas to you and yours! 🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅
Thanks Chris for the video and bit of history. If you haven't already, you might check out Kramer's Tobacco shop website (Beverly Hills). They have a bit of name dropping about celebrities and what they smoked. I plan on driving up there over the my holiday break and check out the place. Safe Travels.
Nice job. Well if I could cast a vote I would have to say that Lee Van Cleef is my favorite, followed by Frosty. :-). Btw, lost my bid on a Lee Van Cleef pipe last week. It finally sold for 231.49. It was like the one from A Few Dollars More.
I visited William Faulkner's house which is now a museum in Mississippi, there were several tins of Dunhill My Mixture 965 next to his pipes there, so I'm guessing he also smoked that, maybe later in his life. I had to pick up a tin after seeing that!
I’ve been trying to figure out what John coltrain use to smoke his music is great to listen to while you smoke a pipe there’s just something about watching the smoke float away to the sound of a saxophone and and it makes you feel like your in the studio with him cause it probably smelled like a pipe being smoked
Walt Disney had a lung tumor removed as a result of lung cancer, and subsequently died some weeks later following his surgery. Here is a tidbit of info re: Walt Disney: " In an interview with Hazel George, the Disney Studio nurse and confidante of Walt Disney, she remembered that one evening Walt Disney told her, "You're right about one thing. Smoking and drinking are sins. Because you are one of God's creatures and if you don't take care of the body He gave you, you are committing a sin."Yet, Walt still continued to smoke his entire life.My dad smoked much of his life until he gave it up cold turkey after his first heart attack. Unfortunately, years of smoking had caused some health issues that still plagued him for the rest of his life.......... Disney Legend Ollie Johnston told Disney historian Michael Barrier that, in later years, Walt's coughed more frequently and it had a rougher sound. Johnston said, "that nervous cigarette cough. It seemed he'd get into this hacking awfully quickly if anything worried him a lot." When Walt entered Saint Joseph's Hospital, right across from the Disney Studio, on November 2, 1966, roughly a week after appearing in the fabled short film where he explained the E.P.C.O.T. concept, a routine X-ray showed a spot the size of a walnut on his left lung. He had surgery the following Monday, November 7, 1966.The surgeon told the immediate Disney family that he had six months to two years at most left to live. Not all of Walt's family was told. His brother Ray and his sister Ruth found out about the operation through the newspapers that downplayed any seriousness and made no mention of a malignancy. The doctor told Walt that they had removed all the cancerous lesions and that with a little rest, Walt should be "as good as new" in an attempt to keep Walt's spirits up, but it was obvious that Walt sensed his time was limited."I don't think he ever accepted it," stated Disney Legend Ward Kimball. "Knowing Walt, not until he closed his eyes for the last time was he ever convinced." Walt Disney died at 9:35 a.m. on December 15,1966 in Room 529 of Saint Joseph's Hospital of "cardiac arrest due to Bronchogenic ca(rcinoma)" which basically meant his heart stopped because of lung cancer."
qBMOp she was quoting Walt Disney, and wine in moderation actually has health benefits. Also back in Jesus time, drinking water wasn't always pure, the process of making wine filtered the water and made it drinkable. The sin part Walt speaks about comes into context when getting drunk, getting drunk absolutely harms your body and Jesus says do not be drunk with too much wine...
TRON8882 - I would be willing to bet that Mr. Disney smoked the blend that was sold only there at Disney World/ land. They had their own Special Blend at a tobacco shop located at Disney World/land. My, my, how times have changed. They probably wouldn’t let you have a cigarette on the whole grounds nowadays. Happy puffs.
hey there mr muttnchop piper........ great channel! i'd be so grateful if you could find out what william butler yeats smoked! another notable person to include in future episodes of famous pipe smokers is aleister crowley...... english eccentric and occultist! he was known for smoking straight latakia and straight perique, amongst other things! lol keep up the great work, alex, belfast northern ireland
That was an interesting vid!! I personally don't know much about blends and smoking, but hey you could make a dedicated video for your research and your sources. People would have less reasons to doubt you then :D As always, love your work! Keep it up and i hope to see more videos :)
Hello Muttnchop Piper, I haven't been online in a while and it's good to see your channel doing well. I'm smoking some Captain Black Copper today, but if I remember correctly you don't care for burleys as much. Is the answer to your riddle in this video; a candle?
Just noticed, you appear to have a Vauen Aragorn pipe box, I assume then that you have the pipe? could you do a review of that, if you haven't already. I also noticed you had some longbottom leaf, where did you find that? Great video by the way!
Muttnchop Piper Thank you! Please talk a bit about longbottom leaf too! Your videos are awesome. If your interested look up Segar and Snuff, their a really cool tobacconist in London. I think they ship for around £5 and their blends are really nice
True what you said during your open. I think perhaps it wasn't a big deal what they smoked. Back then no internet sales. It was probably what they had locally. Re: cigars, I remember finding out that George Burns smoked one of the cheapest money could buy. El Producto Queens. I remember being very surprised. --- Nice video, as always. Thank you!
Ha, ha ha,. Man, did you Ever do Frosty the Snowman his tribute properly. 😄 perfect Muttnchop. Just fine indeed sir. Beauty....Human Statue College. Yup, u had me there!
Muttnchop, I've always wanted to take up pipe smoking, I RYO cigarettes w organic tobacco, n enjoy a good cigar as well, I've watched damn near video you've done. Very informative, thank you for your videos. I'm pretty sure I know what kind of pipe I'm going with and I'm partial to aromatics. Im gonna look for some company that has a sample pack or try a few sample packs . Keep up the good work.
Gus V. - That’s great to hear Max, might I suggest you visit Boswell’s web sight, they have both Aromatic, and English sample packs, and their tobacco is really good. 👍👍👍
Sean Robert Ramuno - Sorry my friend it was a struggle with weeks of research just to learn what tobacco they smoked, pipes are 10 times as hard to find info on. 😒😒😒
I I really enjoyed these insights to famous pipe smokers, thanks for this 🙂 I guess God smokes Penzance, he’s the only one who can get it! 😉 The answer to the riddle is my pension expectation.
I was actually friends with Mr. Shelby Foote. We even saw the same doctor. He didn’t want to talk at all about the civil war. I guess he was just tired of it in his later days. He would laugh at all those people who would send him their Dad’s pipe because their dad loved his books. I asked if he’d been getting any Dunhills, “ No, they send me these old worn out things”. We had some good times. Thought you might enjoy that.
Muttnchop Piper - That’s right. For some odd reason it was mostly women that thought Shelby should have the pipe that dear old dad smoked while reading his works. Not one pipe in the bunch that was worth a plug nickel. I remember him smiling and shaking his head at that.
Van Cleef smoked Philosopher from the Tinderbox, both one of my favorites. Thanks for another enjoyable video. A female pipe smoker, how cool is that. Hope she has a male partner to smoke with. Frosty the Snowman,LOL :)
I have really enjoyed these two videos. I was following along great until you got to Frosty, then I wondered what you had been smoking. Just kidding. D&D does still make the Crooner blend in tin and bulk. A specially cut, cube-style Burley and Deertongue 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. I am not sure but I believe someone still makes a match to Revilation and Mixture 79. Thanks and happy piping.
Well, I am not famous yet but when I am you can tell everybody that i smoke 3 blends everyday and they are Orlik DSK, MB Scottish Mixture and MB Classic Amber/aka Vanilla Toffee Cream. :-)))) Take care and Best Regards from Denmark. Rolf S.
I was wondering if you have any particular pipe & tobacco you'd recommend for a beginner? I've been following your videos for a few weeks now, and the pipe smoking hobby is definitely something I want to try!
Perhaps its not the one you like the most, but I am wondering if you had to be on a similar list, what would be *the* tobacco smoked by Muttnchop Piper?
All Right Chris, very enterteining video+ informative as well, Now just was wondering over what may have smoked these two famous historique person, General Mc Arthur and Mr.Oncle Joe' the Soviet war time leader Josef Stalin,wheter it was domestic or import stuff?If somebody here does know,I'd happy to be shared with this specific information, Thank you Chris,and now, Have a nice week ahead, Paul
Edward G Robinson blend is out in Pipesandcigars.com. great blend. it had some plumb flavor with a hint of latakia. its supposidly going to make a comeback soon. philosopher blend strong in latakia. very smokey but good.
Brand: Greenfield & Winther; Blended By: Edward G. Robinson; Manufactured By: Greenfield & Winther; Blend Type: Aromatic; Contents: Black Cavendish, Burley, Latakia, Virginia; Flavoring: Alcohol / Liquor, Cinnamon; Cut: Ribbon; Packaging:1.5 ounce pouch, 16 ounce tin; Country: US; Production: No longer in production Notes: Created in 1946, the blending was done under the personal supervision of Edward G. Robinson himself. Sutliff took over production some time in the 1960s.
Funny yarn!Merry Christmas from Spain.Here in the capital,Madrid,the mayoress doesn´t consider politically correct Christmas public celebration.The modern Inquisition is everywhere.
Great research! If you're interested, you might contact the folks at the original Tinder Box in Santa Monica CA and talk with them. They are extremely familiar with what famous people in Hollywood smoked as they catered to them, created blends for them, and knew them well. The store is a virtual who's who's and very interesting to visit. The original proprietor, Ed, has long since passed but I spent several visits learning about the "good 'ol days".
Here's a link to an article on Ed Koplin that's pretty interesting, articles.latimes.com/2007/apr/11/local/me-kolpin11. Kramers is another shop in Beverly Hills that catered to the famous folks, www.kramerstobaccoshop.com/. Just some interesting pipe history...
Not sure anymore, if you already covered him in the first video but if not, you should start your third part of that series with Popeye. :D Nat King Cole, Bing Crosby and Ian Anderson, I´ve seen with pipes before too i think.
Hugh Hefner Loved 79 so much that was the only tobacco you could buy at play boy hotels I was talking to a friend and he said a man he worked with worked at a play boy hotel in Wisconsin back in the 70s I believe and Hugh Hefner had 79 packaged in his own pouch with the playboy logo but that was all you could buy
Riddle Answer: A Candle? Liked the Frosty bit at the end.
Stranded_N_Paradise - thank you my friend. 👍👍👍
Love these stories sir, hope you make more of them. I really appreciate all you do for the pipe smoking community, and for your service to our great country.
Miguel Pimentel - I’m glad to hear it my friend. 👍👍👍
You're correct about Andie McDowell. I worked with her back in the 90's on a film entitled "Michael." She also enjoyed Davidoff cigarillos. Love the Frosty bit, and I don't think C&D's corn cob blend was out at the time of this video:). Great content!
Thanks for the interesting information on famous pipe smokers. One of the interesting points to ponder is, unlike today, in the old days (i.e. 1940's and 50's and possibly 60's) most pipe smokers, famous and not so famous alike stuck with one blend and rarely varied. My grandfather was like that, he loved one called Royal Tivoli, a dutch Cavendish.. Whereas today, as you know, most of us have at least a few if not numerous tins in the rotation. Just a sign that the hobby is alive and well. I have an old empty tin of Edward G. Robinson in my attic somewhere, I'll try to dig it out this week and see if the label has the manufacturer's information. Keep up the good work. Your videos along with Matches 860 and NW pipesmoker are a highlight of my day. Doug Owen
Doug Owen - you're absolutely right, my grandfather was the same way, he smoked Prince Albert exclusively, every Christmas all the grandkids would give him a tin of Prince Albert as a present, by the end of the day he would have 5 tins which lasted him all year.

Vahan Muradkhanyan - I'm glad my friend, wasn't sure if it would go over, but it has. 👍👍👍
Hello Muttonchop,
Great video as per usual. You had me there at the end wondering whom on earth you were talking about!
Now, if I may, I would like to share my opinion or version of the truth as regards certain smokers or their blends.
Firstly, it might be of interest to know that Stanley Baldwin was the one who actually suggested the name Presbyterian Mixture to that very blend after having sampled some from a close friend.
Secondly, it is to my knowledge that it's Sherlock Holmes's assistant, Dr Watson, who enjoyed the Arcadia blend (mentioned to produce a charming and unoffensive aroma). As for the detective himself, he was thought to have smoked a black shag (probably a steamed Virginia) that he kept in the end of a Persian slipper (whereas he stored his cigars in a coal bucket).
Thirdly, William Faulkner was rumored to smoke a number of blends alongside Balkan Sobranie including Dunhill's My mixture, St. Bruno and Prince Albert.
Finally, the Edward G. Robinson mixture was originally produced by Suttlif under his personal supervision. The blend was discontinued for some time and reintroduced a few years back.
Once again, thank you for your entertaining and ever informative videos!
Kindest regards.
Ali
Ali Alansari - thank you, thank you, thank you, this is great information, and I am so happy you have shared it with our club. 👍👍👍
You're most welcome!
P.G.Wodehouse apparently crumbled cigars into his large straight pot pipe, and smoked almost constantly while writing. Around an ounce or so a day.
Hello Muttonchop piper, I love the channel! Another favorite blend of Faulkner was Dunhill 965
Thanks so much for getting your facts right about Oppenheimer, and explaining that he was part of a TEAM. He was the project lead, but the research and work was mostly done by others.
Thanks Mr Chop for another great video, I watched this one and the previous video with my girlfriend and she enjoyed your presenting as much as I do. Ignore negative people online , I don’t see them making high class content like you do and educating and informing everyone about this great hobby.

"He urinates all over the floor." That cracked me up!! Thanks for the info and a good chuckle
Shawn P. - couldn't explain the wet floor any better lol, lol. 😃😃😃
I so enjoyed your Frosty description, thank you!
I really enjoy your sense of humor and the information you have to offer as well
Shawn Martin - Thank you my friend. 👍👍👍
One of my favorite authors is the historian, Shelby Foote. Mr. Foote smoked a mixture of two parts Edward G. Robinson and one part Half & Half.
I know very little about tobacco blends and I'm new to pipe smoking in general. I previously enjoyed cigars but I'm trying to transition to pipe smoking I enjoy it much more. People always wanna act like they are all knowing don't be discouraged by them. I like your videos very much and I thank you for them👍👍👍

I dig these videos so much. Especially the lighthearted nature of them and the crew involved.... Hey does anyone know what Jacques Costs smoked?
Lot's of fun! Thanks so much for posting this !! Merry Christmas to you! It's people! It's people!
Thomas Wilcox - that would fit, but people is not the answer, and you're welcome. 👍👍👍
Oh sorry I was commenting on Soylent Green. Also Andie MacDowell ... are you kidding awesome! I had a huge crush on her ... now I really know why!
Great video Chris. Took me back to the mid 1970's when I first started smoking a pipe and had all of two blends in my collection which I smoked for years ... Captain Black and Sir Walter Raleigh. You did get me goinig with Frosty ... well done. Take care and be well.
RHK Pipe Smoker - Thank you my friend, I'm glad you enjoyed it. 😃😃😃
Muttnchop.....That was a lot of research you did, very interesting, thank you.
Bob and Donna Reynolds - You're welcome my friend. 👍👍👍
Lol, did not see that coming, got a hearty chuckle from me.
These videos are fun and interesting, also your videos inspired my to buy my first Savinelli (in the form of a 320). Great stuff, keep up the good work!
Bloodrage Engage - I will my friend, and congrats on your recent purchase. 👍👍👍
Bless your heart, you had me going on the last one...you rock homie
Erick Darkman Prado - Thank you my friend. 👍👍👍
Nice video! In part 3 you should get Captain Haddock ;)
Haddock60 - Thank you my friend, I'll put him on the list. 👍👍👍
Before you told me the "statue man" was Frosty i said i'd never invite him into my house. Now that you revealed his identity i think i will . I'd love a free corn cob pipe. Excellent video/humor.

Daniel G - cool, thanks for the info,Mir you discover what he smoked pass it on. 👍👍👍
Do you have a video on how to better taste the flavors of aromatics? It's hard for me to taste what I smell in the tin sometimes. Thank you sir.
you jokes are getting funnier and more fluent! keep it up,
and happy christmas piping!
Lutis Oscalander - thank you my friend, if you ever meet me you will find I am a light hearted guy, I like joking around, I think that's why my wife is still married to me, I keep her laughing. 😃😃😃

Heavy smoker of the unfiltered cigs.
+Kelley if you can find in the Bible where it says harming your body its a sin please share it also Jesus turned water into wine

I'm surprised Frosty doesn't smoke "corn cob pipe and a button nose".
That was an interesting vid!!
I personally don't know much about blends and smoking, but hey you could make a dedicated video for your research and your sources. People would have less reasons to doubt you then :D
As always, love your work! Keep it up and i hope to see more videos :)
Dimitri Balerinas - thank you for the advice my friend. 👍👍👍
Muttnchop Piper np problem, stay awesome :D
Edward G. Robinson's blend was first made by Greenfield & Winther
Excellent video. Just a name for volume 3 . Arthur Miller.
seawave piper - Thank you my friend 👍👍👍
Hello Muttnchop Piper, I haven't been online in a while and it's good to see your channel doing well. I'm smoking some Captain Black Copper today, but if I remember correctly you don't care for burleys as much. Is the answer to your riddle in this video; a candle?
Vinlandshammer - it is a candle, and as for Burly tobacco, not a big fan sorry. 😏😏😏
Ah, I skipped a few words in my original comment, still trying to get used to this new phone. Thanks for the reply.
Reaching out to historians directly is very helpful.
Just noticed, you appear to have a Vauen Aragorn pipe box, I assume then that you have the pipe? could you do a review of that, if you haven't already. I also noticed you had some longbottom leaf, where did you find that? Great video by the way!
OhanCockett - I will be smoking this pipe tomorrow on IPSD. 👍👍👍
Muttnchop Piper Thank you! Please talk a bit about longbottom leaf too! Your videos are awesome. If your interested look up Segar and Snuff, their a really cool tobacconist in London. I think they ship for around £5 and their blends are really nice
Luv the Frosty. I'm not sure but maybe a blend from Kramers for Edward G Robinson. Just a guess.
Jake1999 - I think you might be right, I have heard that name mentioned when talking about him smoking a pipe. 👍👍👍
I love the mearshaum pipe that lee van cleaf had he smoked it in s couple of Clint Eastwood movies
Stogie Pipe smoker - I do to, that picture I showed just exudes "go ahead, mess with me" 😃😃😃
+Muttnchop Piper haha I'll let it slide this time;) another great video buddy👍👍
True what you said during your open. I think perhaps it wasn't a big deal what they smoked. Back then no internet sales. It was probably what they had locally. Re: cigars, I remember finding out that George Burns smoked one of the cheapest money could buy. El Producto Queens. I remember being very surprised. --- Nice video, as always. Thank you!
Gabe Pettinicchio - you're welcome my friend. 👍👍👍
Hello Muttonchop,
Thanks for this great Video! Greetings from Switzerland!
Pfeifenwouty Wouty - you are welcome my friend. 👍👍👍
I thought you were talking about Charlton Heston, not Edward G Robinson, he was in both those movies, right?
Yes. By the way, the movie was entitled "The Ten Commandments" :-) not "Moses".
The most polite youtuber ever
Ha, ha ha,. Man, did you Ever do Frosty the Snowman his tribute properly. 😄 perfect Muttnchop. Just fine indeed sir. Beauty....Human Statue College. Yup, u had me there!
Thanks Muttnchop, guessed the final piper to be you :)
You had me engrossed at the end you bugger
Graham Wilson - were you really? I can see you thinking, man who is this guy, then I showed the picture, and I hoped you laughed. Lol, lol. 😃😃😃
Muttnchop, I've always wanted to take up pipe smoking, I RYO cigarettes w organic tobacco, n enjoy a good cigar as well, I've watched damn near video you've done. Very informative, thank you for your videos. I'm pretty sure I know what kind of pipe I'm going with and I'm partial to aromatics. Im gonna look for some company that has a sample pack or try a few sample packs . Keep up the good work.
Gus V. - That’s great to hear Max, might I suggest you visit Boswell’s web sight, they have both Aromatic, and English sample packs, and their tobacco is really good. 👍👍👍
Another great video my friend! ⛇🌚❄🎄~Jaime
Jaime Cunningham - thanks Jaime. 😃😃😃
Great info! Thanks! Could you tell us what pipes these folks smoked? This is a fascinating series!
Sean Robert Ramuno - Sorry my friend it was a struggle with weeks of research just to learn what tobacco they smoked, pipes are 10 times as hard to find info on. 😒😒😒
No worries! I just thought with your knowledge, that some pipes you might recognise! Thanks for the reply.
I I really enjoyed these insights to famous pipe smokers, thanks for this 🙂 I guess God smokes Penzance, he’s the only one who can get it! 😉 The answer to the riddle is my pension expectation.
You are the "candle" to our dark good sir love those riddles
That sounds like a good answer.
Chris Campbell - thank you my friend. 👍👍👍
Chris Campbell - yes I am. 👍👍👍
I was actually friends with Mr. Shelby Foote. We even saw the same doctor. He didn’t want to talk at all about the civil war. I guess he was just tired of it in his later days. He would laugh at all those people who would send him their Dad’s pipe because their dad loved his books. I asked if he’d been getting any Dunhills, “ No, they send me these old worn out things”. We had some good times. Thought you might enjoy that.
graycloud057 - That’s a very amusing story, they wouldn’t send him decent looking pipes but old worn out ones. Classic, thanks for sharing that. 👍👍👍
Muttnchop Piper - That’s right. For some odd reason it was mostly women that thought Shelby should have the pipe that dear old dad smoked while reading his works. Not one pipe in the bunch that was worth a plug nickel. I remember him smiling and shaking his head at that.
relaxing video for sunday. Thx :)
Daniel Jarnot - my pleasure my friend. 👍👍👍
Van Cleef smoked Philosopher from the Tinderbox, both one of my favorites. Thanks for another enjoyable video. A female pipe smoker, how cool is that. Hope she has a male partner to smoke with. Frosty the Snowman,LOL :)
Glen M - Cool, thanks for passing that along, I’m glad you liked the video. 👍👍👍
Luv the mutton chops. Im sporting it as well!
Maybe you can do something About smoking tea leaves, I have seen Some people smoke that in a pipe
next time you update the list include shelby foote
Thank you Chris gave me a good chuckle 🤭
hi from Athens Greece. 40'C summer. any advice on a blend for the summer?
George Tsolakidis - i have done a video called "A blend for every season" check that video out for some summertime blends. 👍👍👍
I have really enjoyed these two videos. I was following along great until you got to Frosty, then I wondered what you had been smoking. Just kidding. D&D does still make the Crooner blend in tin and bulk. A specially cut, cube-style Burley and Deertongue 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. I am not sure but I believe someone still makes a match to Revilation and Mixture 79. Thanks and happy piping.
James Smith - C & D replicate Revilation, but I’m not sure about Mixture 79. 👍👍👍
@@MuttnchopPiper I just checked on Smoking pipes . com and they actually have Mixture 79.
James Smith - Cool. 👍👍👍
The riddle the answer is a candle
Well, I am not famous yet but when I am you can tell everybody that i smoke 3 blends everyday and they are Orlik DSK, MB Scottish Mixture and MB Classic Amber/aka Vanilla Toffee Cream. :-)))) Take care and Best Regards from Denmark. Rolf S.
Danish Piper - thanks Rolf, and I will keep those blends in mind when your added to my next famous celebrities and what they smoke video. 🎄🎄🎄
Apparently my grandpa ( who I didn't know smoked a pipe til I started) smoked the same tobacco as Hefner. Good to know
Don Falk - mine smoked price Albert. 👍👍👍
I was wondering if you have any particular pipe & tobacco you'd recommend for a beginner? I've been following your videos for a few weeks now, and the pipe smoking hobby is definitely something I want to try!
Mind yerownbusiness - yes, I would recommend Frog Morton Cellar, Hearth and homes White knight. 👍👍👍
Muttnchop Piper Brilliant, thank you!
Hey mutton chop can you still buy the tobbaco lee van cleef used
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Loved the build up on Frosty.
Eric Wrana - Thanks, I had fun doing it. 👍👍👍
Perhaps its not the one you like the most, but I am wondering if you had to be on a similar list, what would be *the* tobacco smoked by Muttnchop Piper?
Seattle pipe clubs plum puding Bourbon barrel aged
All Right Chris, very enterteining video+ informative as well, Now just was wondering over what may have smoked these two famous historique person, General Mc Arthur and Mr.Oncle Joe' the Soviet war time leader Josef Stalin,wheter it was domestic or import stuff?If somebody here does know,I'd happy to be shared with this specific information, Thank you Chris,and now, Have a nice week ahead, Paul
Paul The Scandinavian - Paul, I covered some of these individuals in my first video on this subject. 👍👍👍
Ok, Thanks for reminder, will check that out later on,
A snowman is tall when young and short when old☃️
Thank you for the history
excellent video, as usual!!
Juan Vicente Gonzalez - Thank you my friend. 👍👍👍
was looking at your riddle, first thing came to mind was a cigarette haha.
Robert Noble Music - that would fit, but not what I was looking for. 😏😏😏
Edward G Robinson blend is out in Pipesandcigars.com. great blend. it had some plumb flavor with a hint of latakia. its supposidly going to make a comeback soon. philosopher blend strong in latakia. very smokey but good.
TRON8882 - great added info, thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍

Funny yarn!Merry Christmas from Spain.Here in the capital,Madrid,the mayoress doesn´t consider politically correct Christmas public celebration.The modern Inquisition is everywhere.
Chindasvinthus - that's a shame my friend, I hope you have a Merry Christmas in spite of it. 😒😒😒
Great video friend.
Doc Hatfield - Thanks Doc. 😃😃😃
Great research! If you're interested, you might contact the folks at the original Tinder Box in Santa Monica CA and talk with them. They are extremely familiar with what famous people in Hollywood smoked as they catered to them, created blends for them, and knew them well. The store is a virtual who's who's and very interesting to visit. The original proprietor, Ed, has long since passed but I spent several visits learning about the "good 'ol days".
thestudleygroup - that's cool, thanks for the info, I wasn't planning a vol. 3 but I might have to reconsider after talking to them. 👍👍👍
Here's a link to an article on Ed Koplin that's pretty interesting, articles.latimes.com/2007/apr/11/local/me-kolpin11. Kramers is another shop in Beverly Hills that catered to the famous folks, www.kramerstobaccoshop.com/. Just some interesting pipe history...
Not sure anymore, if you already covered him in the first video but if not, you should start your third part of that series with Popeye. :D Nat King Cole, Bing Crosby and Ian Anderson, I´ve seen with pipes before too i think.
JanusHmusic - already covered popeye, I have seen the rest you mentioned, but could not find any info on what they smoked 😒😒😒
We’ll I think you are doing great pipe smoking is better then cigarettes.
Hey muttnchop love your videos. Don't listen to those negative ass people out there. You're doing a great job.
Pepe Carlos DeCarlo - thanks for the support my friend. 👍👍👍
great video
merry christmas !
Bill T. Cat - Same to you my friend. 😃😃😃
Hugh Hefner Loved 79 so much that was the only tobacco you could buy at play boy hotels I was talking to a friend and he said a man he worked with worked at a play boy hotel in Wisconsin back in the 70s I believe and Hugh Hefner had 79 packaged in his own pouch with the playboy logo but that was all you could buy
Mr Toad - that is so cool, thanks for that added bit of history my friend. 👍👍👍
Actually the artful codger here on TH-cam told me that
