International Corn Cob Pipe Smokers month

[Aristocob]

It's that time if your again. We are celebrating International Corn Cob Pipe month again with another video contest. Check it out.

[Mr420rush]

1:14 was that a macaw lol? 1:14 to 1:16 or the song weird :P sound

[Aristocob]

I can't believe that a year has passed, but FYI it's time once again for International Corn Cob Pipe Month! Just as last year were are holding a video contest, so feel free to spread the word.

[snickodoodle]

You ever smoke weed?

[PipeFriendCHS]

@snickodoodle nope but not opposed to it

[VerboseVindication]

I think a month is too long to celebrate corn cob pipe smoking. A day or at best a week seems more appropriate. Perhaps a week to a month dedicated to pipe smoking with each day highlighting a different style of pipe.

[mrfish1991]

There actully is a international pipe smoking day, it is feb. 20

[NorthGeorgiaPipe]

good, you already posted the date!

Cheers

[Darth0Budd]

Perhaps Sherlock Holmes' birthday. He was fictional and an avid pipe smoker so I think that would be appropriate.

[kissphantom05]

I would love March 14th to be National Pipe Smoking Day, because as it is Einstein's date of birth, it is also mine!

[moosepeta]

have you stopped smoking cigars? and i think Einstien...sorry about spelling... would be a great day

[PipeFriendCHS]

I occasionally have a cigar, but always a pipe man first

[chemicalsynthesis]

he also sported a sweet stache!

[solo2450]

Something interesting for you all... The first known pipes are those found in pyramids with mummies along with tobacco leaves. these were found on September 26th 1976. The discovery date of the oldest known pipes would make an excellent date.

[Zvesda]

@solo2450

I think they found weed there too.

[Lionheart13666]

man, how can you just smoke the same tobacco every time?? I like too many to just smoke one. sometimes i'm in the mood for something different.

i guess thats my problem. every time i smoke i'm like standing there for ten minutes trying to choose which one i want to smoke lol!

[ThePipeGreek]

Also, pipe smoking was introduced to Europe from the Americas in the 16th century. Native Americans smoked tobacco pipes long before the Europeans even got there. The French may have found a better material to make the pipes, but they definitely didn't invent tobacco pipes.

[ThePipeGreek]

Thats quite ignorant to say the Germans and English never invented anything pleasurable. You don't go a single day of your life without using something that was invented by the two. Obviously you enjoy the world wide web, which was invented by Tim-Berners Lee who was in fact born in London, England. Karl Benz is acknowledged with inventing the modern automobile and guess where he was born? Yeah what do you know Karlsruhe, Germany.

[AulicExclusiva]

Briar pipes were invented in France, and the centre of the French pipe-carving craft is at Saint-Claude, in the Department of the Jura, in the region of the Franche-Comté, in France. It would therefore be ludicrous to celebrate International Pipe-Smoking Day on the birthday of some German or Englishman. No German or Englishman ever invented anything pleasurable.

[AulicExclusiva]

Thus International Pipe-Smoking Day ought to be observed on the birthday of some French internationalist. I suggest Jean Monnet, Father of the European Union.

He was born November 9, 1888.

[cacrow]

February 20th! Woo!

Also, nice new look with the shave.

[mracampa23]

what is your opinion on corn cob pipes?

[PipeFriendCHS]

I prefer the Briar pipe

[joshmartin89]

I'm reading a book right now called "The Ultimate Pipe Book"

by Richard Carleton Hacker, and he found some evidence that suggests that Columbus "discovered" pipe tobacco when he landed in the bahamas. This led to a series of events that brought pipe smoking to Europe. Perhaps October 12th (Columbus Day) would be an appropriate day to choose for a National Pipe Smoking Holiday?

[PipeFriendCHS]

Fascinating! I could support that

[Zvesda]

@joshmartin89

October 12 is my birthday o.o

I'm gonna go light up a pipe right now...

[joshmartin89]

@Zvesda That sounds like a wonderful idea. I'll smoke a pipe for you today!

[bastud83]

hey man i love ur vids! i as well smoke pipes and i was just curious wat do u do for a living? keep pipin

-from oklahoma

[nithop0ly]

no shave november!

[nowrax]

i would like to have tolkien, too.

[SonicTheEggNog]

I say we give Einstein a holiday based on a more important aspect of his life. I would personally go with the Tolkien date, January 3rd. Great pipe btw. I think that's my favorite one so far that I've seen you smoke.

[bigfootuk82]

January 6th. considered to be Sherlock Holmes' birthday

[Twiggy9238]

how about the day the first shirlock holmes book came out?

[thekid5254]

May 22nd is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's birthday (the author of Sherlock Holmes)

[AndreDeLiterale]

Well, October 6th is the feast of St. Bruno... it just passed, though, haha. It'd suck if we had to wait a whole year... :P

[MrSlewi]

I like the Tolkien date as well. That should be it!

[masurferkidd]

international pipe day!!!!!!! and dude that pipe is fucken huge ha ha... also march 14 is a good date I don't think Albert Einstein has a holiday.

[padseenoodle]

I suggest Tolkien. Not only was he an avid pipe smoker himself, but pipe smoking and tobacco are prominent in his novels. January 3rd being his birthday.

[snavarro228]

I needed an excuse to break out the old corncob pipe...

[mynameisstupid27]

awesome...i'm turning 18 next week and i was already planning on getting a corn cob. haha.

[powerman2442]

So far that is all I've smoked from. I'm to broke for a nice briar. I'd say a Missouri Meerschaum Corn Cob is your best bet. A corn cob smokes better then a "cheap" briar any day.

[Aristocob]

Mmmmmmmm... Pi!

Thanks for the plugging my video and I cast vote is for March 14th.

Scott

[Cheesepuffs414]

This might be a stretch, but I suggest August 7. 1887 was the year in which the first Sherlock Holmes novel was published, and 8/7 is August seventh. Sherlock Holmes (though fictional) is one of history's most iconic pipe smokers.

[rehfeldttw]

Sure! Looks like Feb 20 is the day. I propose that we have a international YouTube pipe meeting day (sometime next year) in which I would fly over to where ever. If we have enough people to attend.

[bglpshuwelcyal8r]

you actually posted a video already on feb 17th about this day.....at one point you knew the day. But i am not opposed to a Marc's international pipe smoking day.

[PipeFriendCHS]

You are absolutely right. Blond hair + 40 = forgetful :-)

[bglpshuwelcyal8r]

i realize this might have sounded mean...i didnt mean it in a condescending way.... you and dubinthedam pretty much taught me everything i know about pipes and pipesmoking.

[tobaccoburner]

Is that a Mario Grandi, looks like it by the 1/2 moon shap rim?

[PipeFriendCHS]

yes

[SmokeRingsPipeDreams]

It would be fun to have a large gathering event where every pipe smoker in a given city show up at one location to smoke pipes together. (and alert the media so it got on the news in every city)

[GothamCitySmoker]

What day was St. Bruno born? LOL.

[AulicExclusiva]

Saints are usually remembered on the date of their death—their birthday in Heaven.

Saint Bruno of Cologne, founder of the Carthusian Order of Hermits, died at the Charterhouse of Saint Stephen, beautifully set near Serra San Bruno, Province of Vibo-Valentia, Calabria, Italy, on October 6, 1101. His grave there is still a place of pilgrimage.

[Justice4themeek]

You shaved. Nice Goatee

[FineTobaccoSmoker]

A International Pipe Smoking Day would be really awesome!

[bretona]

February 20th.  its when i got my first pipe

[Santuxu]

International Pipe Smoking Day was Feb' 20th apparently. If I was computer literate I'd send you the link!

Tim.

[PipeFriendCHS]

Ah my memory fails me, blond AND 40!

[benjy468]

Where is this chance to win a free pipe?

[PipeFriendCHS]

I added the link

[AztroPranks]

march 14th is already pi day. (3.14) Maybe choose sherlock holmes birthday?

[PipeFriendCHS]

"Pi" day,that means we are halfway there:Let's add "pe"!

[FineTobaccoSmoker]

Lol nice ;)

[GREE419]
