Mark nice to see you again! I always enjoy your story telling of history along with pipe smoking. Please start a new series. Also I mark all the locations you video shoot on Google map, perhaps one day I come and visit. Happy Easter! 🐰 🐣
Thank you so much for that, my friend! Really appreciated by heart! Yeah...if you ever be around...let me know! We`ll share some good baccys and other stuff... Have a great Easter time! Take care...and be well, my friend! Mark
Hello Mark. Glad to see you out and about again. As always you have done a great service to the YTPC by suffering through these questionable blends so that the rest of us don't have to. The message for today, "Every man has his limits". Stay well my friend
Hello Mark. Great to see you back. Well a mans got to know his limitations! Lol. You win some and lose some. If nothing else you gave us an entertaining video as always. Thanks for keeping me coming and showing us some new blends we will most likely not see in the US. Best wishes.
The backdrop is nice (seems like u put thought into your locations). Reminds me of somewhere in New England. I like the pipe. I was watching one of your videos about meerschaums and broke down and got one and am glad I did! That pipe u have there makes me want another one 😉
Hola Mark, thanks for thus really good true words about this special tobaccos. This year I don't bought me no one of this "Easter Tobaccos". At first this rare aromas and second the high prices fir bad tobaccos. A good aromatic from Vsuen is the Grandpa's Blend N°11 (Caramel), but the Dragon is s very good aromatic too. I have it too some times in my bar. I understand you that you like it. Have a nice Ester Monday. We here in Spain have only Easter Sunday snd the Monday is a normal day. Best wishes from the 🌞🏝. Michael
Great to see you ..I just ordered a tin of John Aylesbury Dragon Blend (at enormous expense from De to UK) it’s my Spring treat…I’m looking forward to trying it. NO WATERMELON thanks.
Great to see you Mark again, I missed you my friend 😊 I‘m grateful for your detailed reviews of German tobaccos of any kind 😄👍👍 Naturally your seasonal reviews are a highlight for me to know which one is worth to buy from Peter Heinrich, Dan Pipe, Aylesbury, K&K, Planta and Falkum etc. Thank you so much for the Easter tobaccos this year….even…if they were disappointing 😊👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 The K&K new line sounds interesting though again…they didn‘t wow you and the chemical taste is something K&K should switch to natural favorings 😉💨💨💨

Hello Mark: Happy Spring and Easter, my friend. You're looking well. Thanks for this annual review of the tobaccos to welcome in the beautiful weather that's upon us. The Dragon Blend sounds wonderful. Only the Dragon Flake is available here in the U.S. Are they comparable? Take Care, Mark...and Be Well. Ed
Hey Mark. Edition Tobacco like's to become crasy! 😮 I dont looking for them anymore. And it is not about the price! Thank you so much for your two cent's. Happy easter. Greetings from Mittelhessen
It was hilarious to watch you go through these tobaccos with a critical tongue and mind. I enjoyed your since of humor. The background is nice. Is it customary greet other local people there in English? I noticed you did that twice during this video. Good to see you sir.
And I agree egg nog would be very well suited for pipe tobacco. Egg nog is quite popular in the states (mid west at least). That creamy warmth with nutmeg would be delicious in my meerschaum. 😊
Moin. great vid as always. I always find those marketing texts on the packages very tiresome and cringy. I'm also not sure why some tobacco makers think of spring and H.Easter when smelling watermelon and pommegranate. As I think they are typically high-summer fruits. I associate spring with the delicate scent of blossoming trees, pansies, magnolia, broom, daffodils etc. and indeed eierlikör and advocaat with whipped cream. I do wonder what scents their summer tobaccos will have....... glühwein, zimtsterne, marzipan, bratapfel and fichtennadel perhaps 🤣 What a lovely ending of the vid with the bells ringing. Cheerio and God bless and have a lovely Easter weekend.
Thanks for taking the time, my friend! Yeah...that`s a Black Meerschaum...with a custom built stem. Have a great Easter time! Take care...and be well! Mark
A chemical hit and burnt rubber! 😆 This is why I moved away from aromatics, unfortunately. There is a really good pure cavendish I still smoke sometimes, which was the one I smoked the most when I first started pipe smoking. I don't know if Lane produces it in America, but I got it from a store in the southern US. It tastes like vanilla and chocolate to me and the flavour doesn't diminish. It also doesn't bite. Great tobacco. I would like to send you some to try and I promise I won't send any Latakia haha.
Thanks for that, my friend! Yeah...thanks for the offer...we can do a little exchange, if you would really like...just hit me on my mail address... Have a great Easter time! Take care...and be well! Mark
Hi Mark, nice to see another video from you! I bought the K&K Easter Edition 2023 recently and was really curious if you'll make review of that tobacco 😀 Also, not sure what is the best way to contact you, but I'd like to send you some pipe tobacco & stuff from Czechia that might not be available in Germany, would you be interested?
Thanks for that, my friend! Much appreciated! Yeah...just send me an Email on bremenpipesmoker@gmail.com ...then we can get in touch... Have a great Easter time! Take care...and be well! Mark
Hi Mark, I didn't ask for Easter tobaccos😁. I honestly have to admit that I no longer like the Kohlhase tobaccos of the last two or three years. but emphasize that there are still plenty of old Kohlhase tobaccos that are very good. I'm just thinking of various house mixes from Falkum. With the Vauen Summer Blend, I seriously wonder whether it is the summer tobacco produced by Kohlhase 4 or 5 years ago. It was also flavored with watermelon and tasted very realistic. I'll be in Bremen next week. First it goes to the Kunsthalle, then to Schnoor and of course to Ronnie. Please make sure he has some good pipes and tobacco on hand.😂 Happy Easter and see you next Andreas
Andreas, my friend! Yeah...lol...I knew, it wasn`t you :-) Guess, you`re pretty right about KK...unfortunately... Thanks for the hint about the "old" water melon baccy of em...completely forgot about it... Enjoy Bremen! And...yeah...actually...there are two pretty nice Meerschaum pipes by Altinay right now...give yourself a treat, my friend! You deserve it! Happy Easter time! Mark ps: when will you be there? I`m in Hannover from tuesday to thursday...but perhaps, I can make it around 17.00...
@@bremenpipesmoker6571 Hello Mark, we will probably be in Bremen on Wednesday. The next week I'll be in Worpswede looking for peace and inspiration😁. According to the weather report, Wednesday is the perfect time for Bremen😄. I would be very happy to get to know you personally. Greetings
Hi Mark, Too bad, I'm standing in front of Ronny's and unfortunately have to go again. Maybe a meeting will work out sometime. Of course I was successful at Ronny's, but more about that in the next video. Kind regards Andreas
Hi Mark A beautiful Spring morning in Bremen! If people will smoke Captain Black Grape they will smoke anything I like your theory of the use of vaper flavors in pipe tobacco. Some research to be done there. Maybe they use these fruity flavors in Spring and Easter blends so as not to offend relatives at Easter dinner. Do any of your students smoke a pipe? Have you ever introduced any of them to pipe smoking , or do they even know that you are a pipe smoker? Another great video.
Hey Michael, my friend! Thanks for taking the time! So much appreciated! Yeah...my students know...they see me coming and going with a pipe...lol I think, one or two of them are pipe smokers...we don`t really talk about it... Have a great Easter time! And be well! Mark
Mr Mark, I am new to your videos and I truly enjoy them! You have inspired me to buy my first Meerschaum. What is the name of the pipe you use? I would like to purchase one like it. God Bless and cool smoke. - Jordan
Thank you so much for that, Jordan! So much appreciated! Yeah... that's a "black Meerschaum"... just google it... done by my good friend oguz... there is also an interview with him on the channel...give it a shot... you won't be disappointed! Take care and be well! Mark
Dear Mark, I am new to pipesmoking and I have long loved the sweet and rich scent that seems to surround pipesmokers. So far I have only tried two Vauen Auenland tobaccos, one of which I liked, the other not so much. Is there something that you could recommend me to try out? Since I smoke only very seldomly, Im looking for something an inexperienced smoker could really enjoy that is of high quality and easy to smoke. And recommendations would be highly appretiated!
Thanks for taking the time, my friend! Yeah...why don't you just try some of the Larsen Aromatics...most of them are very decent tobaccos...perhaps "signature" or "old fashioned"...or even "black diamond"... Take care...and be well! Mark
I have checked some shops they have very expensive but not very well made meerschaum pipes. You have great meerschaum pipes, where can i buy such pipes?
I think it’s called “limited edition” because it’s supposed to be a fun thing to celebrate the time of year, colorful tin art with a blast of flavor and aroma right in your face - Mark you take it far too serious I think - I enjoy the limited editions, but in the U.S you can’t buy anything you showed us anyway - non is available here. Think of it as a suspension from serious tobacco review and just have fun with it - No one expects limited editions to win tobacco blending prizes. I think K&K does a great job with them and wish they were in the U.S - BTW, Dragon Blend is probably great - I can only get Dragon Flake here which is excellent. Loosen up, take a vacation and Have Fun - Cheers 🍻
Thanks for that, my friend! Yeah... of course...you certainly have a point, my friend! Just on the other hand...those are extremely expensive tobaccos...why not doing something, that`s even a good smoke? Have a great Easter time! Take care...and be well! Mark
@@bremenpipesmoker6571 - I agree with you, but I think they are trying to appeal to a new younger generation and compete with that Vapor market you spoke about. Lets just hope they keep it to the limited editions and don't make a Bubble Gum flavor tobacco next :) I wish I could buy that Dragon Blend here in New York - the Flake version is terrific, Looking forward to your next review - Stay Well.
I actually know someone who is looking for a watermelon flavored tobacco 😂😂!!! Thanks for "taking the hit" on these terrible sounding tobaccos Professor!
Thanks for that, my friend! There you gor it! Somebody is actually waiting for water melon! K&K was right! :-) Have a great Easter time! Take care...and be well, my friend! Mark
Hey Mark! I have a question for you! In WWII footage of German soldiers, many smoke an odd-shaped tobacco pipe. For instance, at 1:29 in this video czcams.com/video/RroHkYedKMU/video.html It seems to be some sort of bulldog pipe. Would you happen to know anything about those pipes?
I certainly hope they are not introducing electronic vaping flavors to pipe tobacco. That would be criminal and likely would motivate me away from smoking pipe. Let's hope the young-minded and the corporate-profit-minded do not take over the traditional pipe smoking heritage by the implementation of modern nonsense.
Yes!!! He’s back baby !!!
Great to see you again!

Good video as always Mark. Whenever I watch one of your videos the urge to smoke a Meerschaum mysteriously arises.

Anyways...thanks for the reviews....we'll talk soon!
Take care,
Corey

Thx❤
Hello Mark: Happy Spring and Easter, my friend. You're looking well. Thanks for this annual review of the tobaccos to welcome in the beautiful weather that's upon us. The Dragon Blend sounds wonderful. Only the Dragon Flake is available here in the U.S. Are they comparable? Take Care, Mark...and Be Well.

Hey Mark.
Edition Tobacco like's to become crasy! 😮
I dont looking for them anymore. And it is not about the price!
Thank you so much for your two cent's.
Happy easter.
Greetings from Mittelhessen
Thanks for that, my friend! Yeah...I understand...I understand...
Have a great Easter time!
Take care...and be well!
Mark
It was hilarious to watch you go through these tobaccos with a critical tongue and mind. I enjoyed your since of humor. The background is nice. Is it customary greet other local people there in English? I noticed you did that twice during this video. Good to see you sir.
Thanks for that, old friend! As always so much appreciated, to have you here!
Have a great Easter time!
Take care...and be well!
Mark
You are a brave brave man ✊! None of these blends tempts me to depart from natural tobacco!
Thanks for that, my friend!
Have a great Easter time!
Take care...and be well!
Mark
And I agree egg nog would be very well suited for pipe tobacco. Egg nog is quite popular in the states (mid west at least). That creamy warmth with nutmeg would be delicious in my meerschaum. 😊
Thanks for that, my friend!
Yeah....I just love those American Egg Nog baccys! :-))
Have a great Easter time!
Take care...and be well!
Mark
Moin. great vid as always.
I always find those marketing texts on the packages very tiresome and cringy.
I'm also not sure why some tobacco makers think of spring and H.Easter when smelling watermelon and pommegranate. As I think they are typically high-summer fruits. I associate spring with the delicate scent of blossoming trees, pansies, magnolia, broom, daffodils etc. and indeed eierlikör and advocaat with whipped cream.
I do wonder what scents their summer tobaccos will have....... glühwein, zimtsterne, marzipan, bratapfel and fichtennadel perhaps 🤣
What a lovely ending of the vid with the bells ringing.
Cheerio and God bless and have a lovely Easter weekend.
Thank you so much for that, Gretchen! Much appreciated!
Have a great Easter time!
Take care...and be well!
Mark
thank you for your advice, I would like to know where you bought your beautiful pipe. Happy Easter 👍
Thanks for taking the time, my friend!
Yeah...that`s a Black Meerschaum...with a custom built stem.
Have a great Easter time!
Take care...and be well!
Mark
Hi Mark
For pronouncing pommegranate in English, try pommy-granit rather than pommy-grenade.
Always interesting content.
Danke
Thanks for taking the time!
Take care! Be well!
Mark
A chemical hit and burnt rubber! 😆 This is why I moved away from aromatics, unfortunately. There is a really good pure cavendish I still smoke sometimes, which was the one I smoked the most when I first started pipe smoking. I don't know if Lane produces it in America, but I got it from a store in the southern US. It tastes like vanilla and chocolate to me and the flavour doesn't diminish. It also doesn't bite. Great tobacco. I would like to send you some to try and I promise I won't send any Latakia haha.
Thanks for that, my friend!
Yeah...thanks for the offer...we can do a little exchange, if you would really like...just hit me on my mail address...
Have a great Easter time!
Take care...and be well!
Mark
Hi Mark, nice to see another video from you! I bought the K&K Easter Edition 2023 recently and was really curious if you'll make review of that tobacco 😀 Also, not sure what is the best way to contact you, but I'd like to send you some pipe tobacco & stuff from Czechia that might not be available in Germany, would you be interested?
Thanks for that, my friend! Much appreciated!
Yeah...just send me an Email on bremenpipesmoker@gmail.com ...then we can get in touch...
Have a great Easter time!
Take care...and be well!
Mark
@@bremenpipesmoker6571 Thank you! I sent you an email.
Hi Mark,
I didn't ask for Easter tobaccos😁. I honestly have to admit that I no longer like the Kohlhase tobaccos of the last two or three years. but emphasize that there are still plenty of old Kohlhase tobaccos that are very good. I'm just thinking of various house mixes from Falkum.
With the Vauen Summer Blend, I seriously wonder whether it is the summer tobacco produced by Kohlhase 4 or 5 years ago. It was also flavored with watermelon and tasted very realistic.
I'll be in Bremen next week. First it goes to the Kunsthalle, then to Schnoor and of course to Ronnie. Please make sure he has some good pipes and tobacco on hand.😂
Happy Easter and see you next
Andreas
Andreas, my friend!
Yeah...lol...I knew, it wasn`t you :-)
Guess, you`re pretty right about KK...unfortunately... Thanks for the hint about the "old" water melon baccy of em...completely forgot about it...
Enjoy Bremen! And...yeah...actually...there are two pretty nice Meerschaum pipes by Altinay right now...give yourself a treat, my friend! You deserve it!
Happy Easter time!
Mark
ps: when will you be there? I`m in Hannover from tuesday to thursday...but perhaps, I can make it around 17.00...
@@bremenpipesmoker6571 Hello Mark, we will probably be in Bremen on Wednesday. The next week I'll be in Worpswede looking for peace and inspiration😁. According to the weather report, Wednesday is the perfect time for Bremen😄. I would be very happy to get to know you personally. Greetings
Hi Mark,
Too bad, I'm standing in front of Ronny's and unfortunately have to go again. Maybe a meeting will work out sometime. Of course I was successful at Ronny's, but more about that in the next video. Kind regards
Andreas
Hi Mark
A beautiful Spring morning in Bremen!
If people will smoke Captain Black Grape they will smoke anything I like your theory of the use of vaper flavors in pipe tobacco. Some research to be done there.
Maybe they use these fruity flavors in Spring and Easter blends so as not to offend relatives at Easter dinner.
Do any of your students smoke a pipe? Have you ever introduced any of them to pipe smoking , or do they even know that you are a pipe smoker?
Another great video.
Hey Michael, my friend!
Thanks for taking the time! So much appreciated!
Yeah...my students know...they see me coming and going with a pipe...lol
I think, one or two of them are pipe smokers...we don`t really talk about it...
Have a great Easter time! And be well!
Mark
Mr Mark, I am new to your videos and I truly enjoy them! You have inspired me to buy my first Meerschaum. What is the name of the pipe you use? I would like to purchase one like it. God Bless and cool smoke. - Jordan
Thank you so much for that, Jordan! So much appreciated!
Yeah... that's a "black Meerschaum"... just google it... done by my good friend oguz... there is also an interview with him on the channel...give it a shot... you won't be disappointed!
Take care and be well!
Mark
Dear Mark, I am new to pipesmoking and I have long loved the sweet and rich scent that seems to surround pipesmokers. So far I have only tried two Vauen Auenland tobaccos, one of which I liked, the other not so much. Is there something that you could recommend me to try out? Since I smoke only very seldomly, Im looking for something an inexperienced smoker could really enjoy that is of high quality and easy to smoke. And recommendations would be highly appretiated!
Thanks for taking the time, my friend!
Yeah...why don't you just try some of the Larsen Aromatics...most of them are very decent tobaccos...perhaps "signature" or "old fashioned"...or even "black diamond"...
Take care...and be well!
Mark
I have checked some shops they have very expensive but not very well made meerschaum pipes.
You have great meerschaum pipes, where can i buy such pipes?
Traditional English Blends all the way... As nature intended 😉
Watermelon why not 🤣🤣🤣
I think it’s called “limited edition” because it’s supposed to be a fun thing to celebrate the time of year, colorful tin art with a blast of flavor and aroma right in your face - Mark you take it far too serious I think - I enjoy the limited editions, but in the U.S you can’t buy anything you showed us anyway - non is available here. Think of it as a suspension from serious tobacco review and just have fun with it - No one expects limited editions to win tobacco blending prizes. I think K&K does a great job with them and wish they were in the U.S - BTW, Dragon Blend is probably great - I can only get Dragon Flake here which is excellent. Loosen up, take a vacation and Have Fun - Cheers 🍻
Thanks for that, my friend!
Yeah... of course...you certainly have a point, my friend! Just on the other hand...those are extremely expensive tobaccos...why not doing something, that`s even a good smoke?
Have a great Easter time!
Take care...and be well!
Mark
@@bremenpipesmoker6571 - I agree with you, but I think they are trying to appeal to a new younger generation and compete with that Vapor market you spoke about. Lets just hope they keep it to the limited editions and don't make a Bubble Gum flavor tobacco next :) I wish I could buy that Dragon Blend here in New York - the Flake version is terrific, Looking forward to your next review - Stay Well.
for whom the bells toll ... 😉
Thanks, brother!
See you soon!
I actually know someone who is looking for a watermelon flavored tobacco 😂😂!!!
Thanks for "taking the hit" on these terrible sounding tobaccos Professor!
Thanks for that, my friend!
There you gor it! Somebody is actually waiting for water melon! K&K was right! :-)
Have a great Easter time!
Take care...and be well, my friend!
Mark
@@bremenpipesmoker6571 Thanks Mark!
Mark, what are you choochin’ on in this video? Don’t think you mentioned it. ✌️
Yeah...damn...you`re right...I forgot ...of course the last one...Dragon Blend...
Have a great Easter time!
Take care...and be well!
Mark
Hello Mark, I'm curious just wanted to ask how does pipe smoker knows his pipe smoking session is over? Bad taste or you get pipe left with only ash?
... both is possible... In a perfect world, the tobacco just burned down to white ashes... and you realize, you're done...
Hey Mark! I have a question for you! In WWII footage of German soldiers, many smoke an odd-shaped tobacco pipe. For instance, at 1:29 in this video czcams.com/video/RroHkYedKMU/video.html It seems to be some sort of bulldog pipe. Would you happen to know anything about those pipes?
I certainly hope they are not introducing electronic vaping flavors to pipe tobacco. That would be criminal and likely would motivate me away from smoking pipe. Let's hope the young-minded and the corporate-profit-minded do not take over the traditional pipe smoking heritage by the implementation of modern nonsense.
sounds like a waste of good Tobacco
...guess, It is!
Take care...be well!
Mark
