So I'm doing my nightly routine of scouring Youtube for some pipe tobacco reviews and I come across what could possibly be the coolest/most hilarious Youtube video of all time.

Enjoy.

goddamn that butane's gotta taste horrible. He's scorching that bowl. Is that how you're supposed to smoke pipe tobacco?

 

[Super Mahrio]

Ok. Other than that dude being a slow talker and talking about torture porn, i didnt laugh much.

Pipes of that sort predate butane lighters by about 300 years, so I'd imagine that isn't the traditional method.

Ah yes! My bad. I always forget which spelling.

Kevin you're quite right. Many many pipe smokers use a butane lighter because it burns the tobacco more quickly and deeply, resulting in fewer relights. It doesn't burn your fingers and it's good for a quick smoke. It's becoming quite the norm.

However...

What they don't understand is that a butane lighter is as hot as the sun when it burns. Pipe tobacco burns at a temperature between 500-800 degrees Celsius, and a butane lighter burns at about 2000 degrees Celsius. The moment it touches the tobacco, it basically scorches it and can definitely color the flavor drastically, which is why most people use a normal lighter or matches. I prefer matches but they aren't always available so I'll use the average Bic lighter. You just gotta be careful and keep your fingers out of the way. There are also disposable lighters that light from the side of the top so you don't have to turn it upside down.

Good catch!

I'm gonna make a "Watch Shpongled Get Baked" YouTube channel.

That would be cool! I'd subscribe.

Meh, I guess we just have different opinions on what's funny.

Or I'm just easily amused.
