I love the PORSCHE!!! Thank you so much Mark! Another great vid and anything you review while riding in a Porsche gets an automatic thumbs up from me. Enjoyed seeing you guys have a good time.
I really enjoy your commentary on tobaccos but your facial expressions on the Autobahn are priceless! Keep up the good work sir! Have been enjoying your videos since day one.
Hello Mark and Didier. I enjoyed the little "high speed" tobacco review. It was a pleasure catching your friendly chat. Thank you for sharing and be well.
Hello Mark. You did not seem too comfortable during the drive. Kudos for maintaining your composure. (Guess you had to edit out the scene where you kissed the ground when you arrived!) Glad you are well. Interesting chat about the differences between pipe and cigar smoking. I tried cigars for a short while and found them too one-dimensional. Been smoking pipes for over 50 years and I have never been bored
Most epic tobacco review ever!!! A speed limit on the open sections of the autobahn is a tragedy! Whenever we went to visit friends in Germany, driving the autobahn was one of the joys. The fastest I ever went was 180kph (110 mph) before my wife told me to slow down.
Wow, wild ride ! Guess I'm going to finally pull the trigger on that Galloping Gertie. The talk on cigars and pipes was great as I am now enjoying them both. Good health to you and your friend.
I was terrified during that ride! Really liked the meers, particularly Ali Birinchi's....I'm actually waiting on my 4th Birinci to arrive in the mail. Really enjoyed the video.
Fantastico Carissimo Mark! One of your best videos ever and certainly the highest speed one. Thanks 🙏 Grazie to Didier for the thrilling drive and wonderful chat! Ciao 👋 from Milano! S.
Greetings Professor from Southern California. I absolutely enjoyed this review and your reactions. Especially at minute 18:03. Thank you for uploading these recent videos. Take care and be safe Professor.
Greetings Mark my good friend! Well...that was a quick video...at least the part in the car, lol! Very interesting and informative discussion in the lounge. Been across the channel on the new bridge where galloping gertie once was many times...it's called the narrows bridge now. In fact, I've been to all of the places that the SPC blends are named for. Joe Lankford does some fairly decent tobacco blending, haven't had a bad one yet. We'll talk soon my friend...hang in, I'm gonna make a message soon. Take care, Corey
This video prompted me to open up my jar of Galloping Gertie to smoke after watching. I was smoking GH Dark Flake for the first time while watching your car ride, and the nic rush and the car ride almost put me on the floor. Needed something mild afterwards to calm my nerves. It was quite an adventure for all of us. Good times!
Wonderful vid Mark. We studied the Narrows Bridge and natural resonance of systems at college, something I run across in my work as an engineers; more then I'd like. Love Porsches and the flat 6 singing on the autobahn, terrific! Great conversation about tobacco and Europe. Im thinking of retiring to Portugal in a few years, don't know what kind of tobacco I'll find there.. Wishing you and Didier the very best. Take care.
It was disconcerting at first as you were seated on the UK drivers’ side of the cockpit conducting a review and lighting a pipe at 200mph but then I realised Didier was driving 😂
Thanks for the video Mark, famous German speedways, in Porche, with a classic looking meerschaum filled with satisfying tobacco, a man could not ask for more,or yes,perhaps a pint or two of well-chilled Kölch oder Pilsener at the arrival accompanied with a shot glass of good ole schnapps would do nicely, that's we call life at fullest, Alles bestens, take care , MbG aus Finnland, Paul
Nothing like having a pipe to relaxing and have deep thoughts at 290km/h Haa, I would think after that drive a bottle of scotch would be better LOL! Great conversation and review
i have smoked a pipe while driving 120mph/193km ph. but i cant keep up with this high speed review. i haven't tried that blend. interesting guest and also the discussion on cigars and pipes.
Thanks for that, my friend! Yeah... doing oright... just quite busy these days... but hang in... planing on another video... Take care and be well! Mark
Hola Marc, this was the fastes video with a pipe what I have ever seen. Great video! We already have the limit of 120 km /h here, so I left my sports car in Germany when I moved, as it doesn't make sense here, even if there are more sports cars on our island than in another place of Spain. Prestige is everything for many. The tobacco sounds exactly to my taste. The problem, of course, is how do you get there? I am purchasing DC tobacco from Switzerland for the first time through our Swiss neighbor, which is a big step forward for me. Thank you for this great video. Especially for the recordings from the lounge, where I used to like to stay. Unfortunately, smoking lounges are forbidden here. Keep care on the street -:). Best wisches from the island. Michael.
Wow you really kept your composure for that review hahaha! You hit a lot of good points in the lounge for a beginner like myself to learn from. Thanks for that! Great to hear the perspective of your friend. I believe I will give that SPC a try sometime because I enjoy the basics, just straight Virginias, stuff like that.
I once saw an engineering documentary comparing US highways to German ones. German autobahn pavement is fully a meter thick for incredible stability. The US freeway system is usually about 30 cm thick. Quite a stark difference in design theory and this is just one design element. Always an interesting take on things. 🖖😁
Oh Mark. I'm so happy to see you alive! That's a great video. And the tobacco, which you're talking about, sounds very interesting to me. Thanks for all the moments of laughing! 🤣 Lots of greetings from Mittelhessen
Hi Mark, thanx for the awesome videos. Just want to ask, do you scrape the carbon cake build up inside your meerschaums? I have 2 and there is some thin layer inside.
What a great vid. Watched all the way through! Great discussion on cigars vs pipes. Vaping could be similar to piping. But the vaping market unfortunately has been diluted with very simple and cheap 'flavours.' The majority of people that smoke cigarettes are not in it for the ritual or taste and these are the people picking up on vaping. People like this use vaping as a harm reduction tool which is fair enough. However, there are alot of them and it has lead the industry to reduce their blending, steeping and flavour balancing activities. The expense of this development work and expertise required has priced alot of artisanal companies out of the market. Blending eliquid requires the same skills as a master perfumer industrially speaking. Eliquid also changes over time with oxygen exposure and is sensitive to temperature changes much like tobacco or perfume. Enjuice makes the most complex and enjoyable of the eliquids I have expereinced so far. Most eliquid only has pharmaceutical grade nicotine though so you do not get the nuanced experience of the various other tobacco alkaloids. This also leads to decreased latency between 'smokes' which isn't very good for most people becasue you can end up holding an electronic pipe, cigar or cigarette all day!
Mr Toad's wild ride! Geez what a sensation! Approaching 170k/hrs you appeared to get a bit of a twitch. I can't blame you. I love the new Bulldog pipe. It was good to have a cigar smoker's perspective on pipe tobaccos.
This video had me on the edge of my seat!!! What’s next, a tobacco review from the cockpit of a Messerschmitt Bf 109?!?!? Thank you for the review. I have an unopened tin of Gertie that I’m even more excited to open now. Beautiful pipes as well! Cheers from hurricane stricken South Louisiana!
Ein Supervideo hast du da geschossen Mark 😁. Eine Pfeife zu rauchen bei 270 km/h ist schon einzigartig 👍. Bei der Geschwindigkeit hätte ich bestimmt nicht geschafft meinen Mageninhalt in „Schach“ zu halten. Super Video 🙂
Her: What's Mark reviewing today? Me: He's reviewing Galloping Gertie... and many more horses! Her: What! He reviews horses now? Me: Well, it's Mark we're talking about, I keep telling you he's crazy! Her: He's not crazy, and I can see he is in a car with his pipe... and not riding a horse! Me: He's actually reviewing a tobacco called Galloping Gertie... while sat in the passenger seat of a car doing 180mph!... like normal people do 😅... You my dear obviously know nothing about crazy! 😂 Well that has to be a Guinness Book Of Records, Worlds fastest ever pipe tobacco review on terra firma. A World Record that I can't see being beaten in my lifetime, and most likely ever! A great review as always Mark, I'll give it a try seen as you risked your life doing this review. Be well and most importantly, be safe. Germans and Brits are world renowned for being fast and highly skilled F1 racing drivers, I wouldn't trust someone form Luxembourg with a skateboard on the Autobahn 🤣✌️
I miss rain. California is drier than my grandmother's hair protected by 3 cans of hair spray. Something about most air that makes me crave English type tobacco. Enjoy life where ever you are. Mark, poor Mark. This is the first time I've seen you clench your pipe with such intensity, haha.
Thanks for watching! Much appreciated! Well... I have my stems done at janzen in hamburg... there is a link down the bucket at the video about the strangler of lichtenmoor...
Hello Mark. The Austrian tobacco must be Landtabak. The same thing was said to me in a shop in Austria. But it wasn't so bad actually. Not very good either bus still nice to try sometime. Only 5€ for 40gr. A old time tobacco. If you know what I mean. Thanks for all the great content you put out there! Mit freundlichen Grüßen aus Holland. Richard
Hi Mark, great videoa just wanted to ask, if it is possible to contact you somewhere... want to send you some interestimg tobacco. Take care! Ondřej from CZ.
Hey Ondrej! Thanks for watching and kind words! So much appreciated! And... yeah... just send me an email to the channel address... and I'll come back to you! Perhaps, there is a chance for a little exchange.. Take care and be well! Mark
"Don't expect me to repeat everything"... Just like a experienced professor, that you are!!
Really enjoyed this one.
You germans are crazy. I never knew I needed a 270kph tobacco review in my life.
Another fantastic episode - thanks for sharing!
I am at around the 10 minute mark into this review and already having a good time with many laughs. Man, so much fun watching this 😄
Big thanks to you Mark, was really a pleasure doing this video. Hope guys, you enjoy it as well. Thanks for watching.
The first tobacco review at 180 mph. Lol Loved it!
Very good analysis of the difference between pipe and cigar smokers and smoking.
What a great video. Watching you deal with it forces on the autobahn was such good fun. Always a good time with you. Cheers
I love the PORSCHE!!! Thank you so much Mark! Another great vid and anything you review while riding in a Porsche gets an automatic thumbs up from me. Enjoyed seeing you guys have a good time.

A fantastic setup for a tobacco review! Thanks to Didier for that ride.
Hello Mark and Didier. I enjoyed the little "high speed" tobacco review. It was a pleasure catching your friendly chat. Thank you for sharing and be well.
I was stressed just watching 😆 happy smokes to you both!
The most dynamic tobacco review I’ve seen, at 200 mph ….Vavoom!! 😲😄😊👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍
Excellent vid Bremen. Thanks a lot. Have a great week.
Hello Mark. You did not seem too comfortable during the drive. Kudos for maintaining your composure. (Guess you had to edit out the scene where you kissed the ground when you arrived!)

glad to see you are still uploading my friend, I hope you will continue for years to come! very enjoyable videos.
I absolutely loved this episode! I will share this with my cousins in Zwickau and Tübingen. Can’t imagine 290km. I’d be shitting myself!
Wow, wild ride ! Guess I'm going to finally pull the trigger on that Galloping Gertie. The talk on cigars and pipes was great as I am now enjoying them both. Good health to you and your friend.
You Sir, may be the coolest human being ever.

The expressions on your face were hilarious! Worth every drop of fuel spent! Don’t believe I lol at a video that much in quite awhile. GD! 😂
Mark, do you know who makes the pipe lighter Didier was using? I’m sure your cigar verse Bold Kentucky challenge was very entertaining. Thanks!

What kind of blend are you planing for review in a Formula 1 bolid ? Good job.
That was fun
Would have been epic with Autobahn by Kraftwerk playing
I have some galloping gertie on order. Should see it in a week or 2. Have you tried SPC's Potlatch or Wildman?
Mark could you make a video on pipe stems and where you have your's made. Thanks.
Thanks for watching! Much appreciated!
Well... I have my stems done at janzen in hamburg... there is a link down the bucket at the video about the strangler of lichtenmoor...
Daredevil tobacco reviews. Will you be doing the next review while parachuting? Or maybe in an F16?
Speed limit on the Autobahn... what sacrilege!!
Wow, a great tobacco review at high speed! Also a beautiful pipe. Any more information on the pipe maker? Take care and happy smokes.
🤣🤣🤣 Mark you looked ready to lose your lunch a couple of times there
Speed limit on Autobahn is ridiculous.
Look a bit nervous they’re Mark!👍👍
