Its not that I'm a luddite; far from it, I think. But I do have a predilection for written as opposed to aural/pictorial communication. So while I have been very good at scouring web sites and blogs about or related to pipe smoking, I now learn that I have entirely overlooked the vast amount of pipe communications available through youtube. As recently noted, I have become a member of the Pipesmokers blogging community (which you can access by clicking on the tobacco tin to the left) and I've been trying out the different fellow bloggers therein listed. So today I tried a blog called Firecured where I found the author featuring a youtube video he made. Not only did I watch and enjoy it, but I suddenly realized that there was a whole community of pipe smoking youtubers. The author of Firecured is called Pearse and he is from Dublin. His youtube channel is called "dubinthedam.
So I began to investigate a bit and found Requim Pipes, a video channel run by Gustavo from Portugal with some wonderful tobacco reviews.
Check them out and do some of your own investigating! From the number of other "channels" that I saw having to do with pipes I may be at this for a while and will occasionally report my findings.
Hi Ira,
ReplyDeleteThanx for the plug for Firecured. I know my blog can be a bit vague, so let me clear up some confusion for you. My name is Michael, not Pearce, and I reside in Maryland. I don't make videos, preferring to illustrate my blog with old-timey stuff, so I guess I'm a bit of a Luddite too. Dubinthedam is his own entity, I merely embed his videos on my blog, along with others. Again, sorry for the confusion, Firecured.
P.S. Love your blog!
I'm the one who is sorry! Thanks for clearing up the matter and thanks for the kind comment. The feeling is mutual.
