Ok, this is cool. Here I am just going through KZread, and I see Skip and The Briary pop up. Needless to say it was a pleasant surprise. I was born and raised in Homewood, graduated Homewood High in 1992. I’ve known Skip since the mid 90’s. Back then they were still at the old Brookwood Mall off of Lakeshore Dr. I now live in West Virginia. A friend I went to high school with, Eric, worked at The Briary for many, many years. I spent a lot of time in there back in the day. So cool to see this pop up this morning. Thanks for making my day! Cheers!

How cool is that! I’m sure Skip would love to see you again if you’re in the area.

What a treasure--those of us who enjoy the hobby wish that old style shops such as The Briary could be found more widely.

Absolutely! Completely disappeared it seems. What a wonderful thing.

I am a new pipe smoker and was JUST in Birmingham and made a stop at The Briary. Super good store, lots of selection. I just met these fellers today! CRAZY!!!

That’s probably the best smelling place on this planet.

Quite possibly!

this looks like an absolute joy to have nearby, would love to slowly work through their collection to see what jumps out

Man, I wish we had a place like this in Oklahoma, a few great cigar lounges for sure, but they still tend to cater to the flashier, louder crowd, this seems like a beautiful place to actually slow down and enjoy a smoke without having to hear ESPN in the background.

I got the privilege of stopping by to see Skip and the crew while on vacation a few weeks ago. What a cool little shop and a great group of guys running it! I'll definitely be back!

Thank you so much for posting. I had never heard of the Briary and will definitely make a trip there !

That's a great little shop , I love it.

That is truly a beautiful little shop thank you for sharing this little gem of a tobacconist zenith us😉

That's just stunning. What a fantastic store 👍👍👍

What a great place to have around, hopefully I can visit someday!

Hi Fantastic shop hope you have a great anniversary get together

What an absolutely beautiful shop!~

Hello Jeff, a wonderfully relaxing visit to your local Bricks & Mortar, what a haven to have, so important to support and promote these establishments as you have done here...Northern Briars, I have five of Ian's pipes in my collection, all are superb smokers..Ian is a perfectionist, and the most humble of craftsmen...how long Ian will continue to create these traditional quality classic smoking apparatus is an open question, my comment when pipe aquisitiion is about value / enjoyment / pleasure I have found my Northern Briars to be outstanding investments. Keep Well My Friend, and thank you so much for sharing. Steve.

Good to see that there are a few of these good old tobacco stores still out there! I'm blessed to have a tobacconist from the 1860th in my hometown. You cannot beat this decades of knowledge about pipes and tobaccos. Always a great pleasure to visit. Even if you are not planning to buy something. I always do anyway 😂 thanks for the video! Many greetings from northern 🇩🇪

I am lucky that Northern Briars pipes are made just down the road from me and now that The Cheshire Pipe Club is up and running I see Ian Walker regulary. Great to see his pipes enjoyed on the other side of the pond. Enjoy yourself everyone!

Great video. I live in the south east alabama region and will have to make that 3hr drive to go check this place out as we don't have any real pipe store type of places around here.

Thanks for the excellent video of the Briary. We are really lucky to have a truly great pipe store and Skip and his staff here in Alabama. I try to make at least one trip per month (4 hours round trip) to visit, acquire new tobacco’s and to my wife’s dismay purchase “More Pipes!” I am Looking forward to the big July 6 event. I will be there. Thanks Jeff for the video.
