The style of this video feels like you've stepped into his office, asked a question about the meaning of life and getting the one true answer. What a lovely gentleman.

I just imagined the scene and I'm happier.

A quick, right to the point answer in 1 minute 30 seconds, with minimal materials. Excellent! That's how tutorials must be.

When I got my first pipe over 10 years ago, I didn’t know what to do. I found this video and follow the directions exactly. It was a perfect smoke. To this day, this is still exactly how I do it. I also send this video to any new comers I find that need help getting started. Thank you Mr. McGrane!

That’s definitely the best way of packing a pipe I’ve seen on KZread

I love this guy. My blood pressure goes down just listening to him.

Got my first pipe yesterday and failed miserably using other ‘how to’ videos. Found this after, and tried it today. Worked like a charm. This might be the best tutorial I’ve seen on KZread in general! I can’t believe none of the other pipe channels follow this method. I’ll be doing this from now on for sure.

I used this method today and for the first time I was able to enjoy a bowl of tobacco. Mr. McGrane you are truly a pipe master. Thank for the lesson.

@@andrewlopez9923 So will I!!!

I bought a new pipe today, and hopped on KZread to get some advice. This is the third and last 'new pipe smoker' how-to video I watched. Thanks!

I just cannot stop coming back to this video and just listen. Probably it’s a few 100 times already.

This guy is the real deal. Brief, clear, and to the point. A good antidote to all the long winded, meandering Mountain Bob pipe channels out there. The twist/palm method works great.

I have been watching videos about this for a couple of days, this is the best one I have seen, I was able to do it on the first try and I didn't have to relight nearly as much.

I know this is old, but Thank you! I just wanting a quick, straight to the point answer, and you sir delivered. I don't understand why every other video was nearly 10 minutes long....lol

I have been using the "three pinch method" for years to uneven results. This is the first time I used the "Spiral Method" and it works FANTASTIC!!! Mr. McGrane also showed me the proper way to light the pipe. Mr. McGrane, where have you been the past ten years!!!! I am going to watch all of your videos!!!!

Same here, this video is insightful!

Mr McGrane sir, because of you I purchased a Savenilli pipe and 'Ol Gowrie and never looked back. Happy piping

I have only been smoking a pipe for 2 months. I would just fill the pipe and smoke it.lighting the dam thing every second and getting bad burn bite. But I no now I was doing it all wrong.I have tried your way with the help of your video. And I must tell you ,After nearly giving up my pipe I now enjoy it much much much better. Thanks.

I love the simplicity of this demonstration... AND the wonderful accent! Many thanks.

like a gentleman. the best way to fill a pipe in my opinion, sir. in a way, this video changed my life.

Thanks Mr. McGrane for that wonderful lesson. I've been a pipe smoker for over 55 years and yet have I found as good a method as yours. Truly a consistent method of packing the tobacco every time for a great smoke. Thanks again.

Thank you for a quick and thorough explanation as to how to pack a pipe.

this man is a real gentleman. smooth, yet informative. good show man

This worked for me WAY better than the 3 pinch method! Thank you.

I been using this method for a about 3 months now after watching this video , It works really well and has made my pipe smoking even more enjoyable . Always a good perfect smoke . Thank you for the video .

This man's demeanor is wonderful

This is the best method! Smokes much better than that baby, lady, man method IMO. The whole pipe smokes without relights or being too tight. Kudos on the awesome videos jfox, I hope to be buy a pipe from you soon.

This is the best presentation I saw. You are really amazing. I learned for the first time the best way to pack the pipe. Thank you so much for showing the spiral methood of packing the pipe. It is absolutely wonderful.

You make smoking a pipe look as appealing as eating chocolate cake, and your demeanor makes me think your grandchildren love to hear you read them stories. :)

This is insane, and it works perfectly lol. Never seen the like of it in my life. You, sir, are the GOD of pipe smoking as far as I am concerned. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Gentleman (well you are Irish after all, like me haha). God bless you!

i can't get over how amazing this guy is.

That attitude, that accent. Best video on KZread

After smoking cigarettes for years tried my first smoke of a pipe today. Smoked beautifully. Thank you for the advice. I may be converted 😁

Indeed, excellent presentation.

Tried this method and I must say it worked beautifully! Less relighting and the smoke stayed much cooler throughout my smoking session. Made for a much more enjoyable and relaxing smoke! This will be my go-to method from here on out! Thanks Mr. McGrane for the video!

The best tutorial i have ever seen and iv'e seen thousands.

The most interesting man on the planet!

A true master class. Maestro di color che sano.

Saved me from giving up on a pipe. Thank you!!

Never seen the spiral method, but that looks effective as hell. Def taking notes.

what a great video, you should do a video on not just the different types of tobacco but on how the different tobacco tastes, i think that would be helpful for new pipe smokers to enjoy their smoke if they knew the flavor notes of aromatic, and the robust flavors of the English blends so that folks are not blindsided by a heavy latakia blend, when they really are going for a virginia or a cavendish.

I absolutely have to try that. Looks simple enough with no margin for error.

Perfect video, thank you. Please come back to KZread I really enjoy watching your videos.

Straight forward. Thank you for not being complicating it.

Brilliant! Simple and Wise.

Very nice! I think this should be called "The McGrane Method" as I've never seen it anywhere else before and it looks to be a great way to pack a pipe. Cheers, Kel

Great set of videos I have just Purchased a Stanwell Hans Christian Andersen No 7 Pipe from yourself - and look forward to trying it out - I am moving from cigars to the pipe - Again thanks for the videos they help a lot

The best way to fill a pipe your the only man to fill a pipe I've seen on you tube great video.

I want more pipe videos of this guy. Right now. 1 a day. Just look in the camera and smoke a pipe.

I have used this method of pipe filling for two days now after using the three pinch method,and each smoke has been consistently good,burning well without the need for relights and minimal tamping required,and the tobacco burns cool and right down to the heel,I will be using this method from now on,I was lacking in consistency before,this method takes care of that,Thank you Mr Mc Grane!!

I feel like wisdom in pipe smoking is a bit like relationship wisdom - no one really trusts the “when it’s right, you’ll know it” or “it gets easier” or “eventually, you’ll be able to know by touch whether it’s packed correctly” lol I’ve been on the pipe journey for about 9 years now and I used this video and method for a while because like you I struggled to get consistency with other methods. What I will say though is that eventually you do just develop an instinctual touch for how much goes in and when to press and how hard to press.

I want this guy to do all the how-to videos.

I grew up without a grandfather in my life. My mother's side died before I was born and my father's side died when I was six. I can only imagine that this is a lesson they might have taught me.

This and the Frank method are the best way I have found. So in other words, Irish and German methods

ASMR for pipe bowl loading. I am so relaxed.

That is indeed a nice advice on how to pack a pipe. Thanks.

Wow, I've never seen this done before. I'll have to try this method this evening. Thanks for uploading the video!

Awesome! How a video should be done! I'm just starting out with pipes converting from cigars and this is the first time I've seen the spiral method of packing the pipe. Thank you for the information!

Sit back, and ENJOY what a boss

he has the greatest voice ever!

Interesting way to fill the pipe! Thanks for your good and informative videos David.

Thanks for this vid. I am going to try this method because I have never seen it done this way. I'm always trying to learn a way to do things better. Thanks again!

You sir, are my mentor, i follow you everywhere you go, and try to smoke just like you, that's it, i'm buying my first pipe and try to be as cool as you are my dear.

Best how to videos I've seen. Thank you.

I really love this video. I watch it multiple times.

Here thanks to the nice chap over at Segar & Snuff in London !

Thank you for the lesson. You have the most pleasant voice!

smooth.....very smooth.....

I switched from the three step packing method to this spiral method, and I haven't had a bit of tongue bite since!

I will try the spiral method, seems brilliant. Great vid!

Very good video, this method gave a very nice and even burn.

wonderful method on the packing. I'm going to have to try it.

clear and concise!. I have some tobacco arriving soon and will try the palm swirl way

Love this guy... Need more videos from him please...

Thanks for this nice video. I never used that method for filling in the pipe. I'll try that.

Smoke like a boss !

One of the best by far

You Sir are a boss
