Do you ever smoke cannibis in your pipes?

[PipeFriendCHS]

No, I have no moral issues with it, but dislike the side effects such as altered state of mind

[SmokeRingsPipeDreams]

I couldn't find the info on OomPaul about Oom Paul.

[PipeFriendCHS]

@SmokeRingsPipeDreams my bad. I added the link to the video description

[CaptainKhrenov]

how come you don't smoke an Oom Paul (or Hungarian) pipe in this video?

[PipeFriendCHS]

@CaptainKhrenov Didn't think of that!  Next time :-)

Africas sold their own people into slavery. They are the ones who caught the slaves for the buyers and offered them for sale.

Does that make Africans (negroids) racist against their own kind? Of Course not. The term "Racist" has been way over used. Happy smoking.

I call it Oom Paul because, despite him being a dick, I am distantly related to him.

It took me a minute to ralize that Oom Paul refered to "Oom" Paulus Kruegerus. Haha. Not sure if he was really as bad as you think. English were just as racist as the Afrikaners

Very interesting, as a Hungarian, it's great knowing that some pipe makers choose to call the Oom Paul a Hungarian. I also didn't know he had such a dark history. Thanks, Marc.

This is what I love about your channel, not only are you very knowledgeable when it comes to pipes and tobaccos(helped me a great deal when I first got into pip smoking), but you've got so many videos I always manage to stumble across one I haven't seen yet.

The zulu and the Lovat (after general Lord Lovat-Frazer) were also pipes that became popular and received their names at the time of the Boer War, the first major European war after the invention of the briar pipe.

Up to the time of the Crimean war (1855) most soldiers smoked plain clays, except for German and Austro-Hungarian regimental pipes made out of porcelain or olivewood ("Ulmer" pipes.)

I told you all this stuff in a response decades ago.

The shape of the pipe is older than Paul Kruger. Kruger smoked one, and so it began to be called after him, when he became notorious at the time of the Boer War (1902). In France it has always been called an "Hongroise", probably because it was popular among Hungarian regiments French soldiers met up with in the Napoleonic wars.

Soldiering always has a lot to do with pipes.

look at the pic of oom paul on wikipedia....the just looks evil.

@joshskorton if it was a really cool shape i would smoke the adolf hitler. i dont think the name of a shape is nearly as important as to how it feels and the enjoyment it brings the smoker. its like calling french fries freedom fries. no mater what you call it it is the same thing. so just call it what it is.
