Hey guys, we're here next on an usual bike maker. His name is Jerry Zen and he uses Briarwood and Corn Cobb. But the very different Corn Cobb and you would see MacArthur smoking in the days of career or maybe World War II back in the day. These are various examples of his pipes along with the Briarworks and this is his assistant who can do a better job translating the backhand. So this is actually made out of bamboo, both the bow and the mouthpiece of bamboo. A little history on it is basically the same style of bamboo. Pipes that the Taiwanese Aboriginal, Taiwanese were where Jerry's from. Taiwanese Aboriginal would have smoked back when the Dutch first brought tobacco to the island. This would be like in the 16s and 17s. Oh very cool. So yeah, so it's basically a very traditional style on the island. The bamboo and both the bow and the mouthpiece are hand harvested and cured and then even the coating is with a bamboo charcoal. Okay. And it's very natural. There it is. Very natural and the mouthpiece just pops off. Hello. For easy cleaning, it's basically just tension fit and you stick it right there. So he makes two different kind of styles. One is more towards the root of the bamboo so you can see all those really nice natural knuckles on the bamboo. And these will, you know, maybe you get one or two out of each bamboo stalk. And these will go from a little simpler look from the middle of the stalk. Yeah. Maybe they were different than corn cob pipes so I could have either made out of bamboo. But the first impression is in some cases you could be, you know, a cob but it's really not. It also has the grating inside so the tobacco doesn't slip through. So the pipe, well beautiful and its simplicity is not quite as simple as it looks. So you could always put it on the inside of the pipe right here and make it for a very, very dry smoke. Oh nice. It's not going to get one of these right now. You're going to have a word about the ryer pipes. Sure. And this is a little bit of what he brought and most of it is over his soda. So Jerry's been carving ryer pipes for 12 years now and this is his like third, fourth years at the show. Okay. And yeah, and he's, every year he continues to improve. He uses horn lock and he also uses bamboo lock which you don't see because they're all, they're all, so you would use bamboo in like the stem or? In the stem, yeah. In the stem. Sometimes, sometimes this is an insert. What are the sources of briar? It's Italian briar. It's Italian briar? So you could come from Calabria, Toscini, Corsica, I mean. I think it's just from all over the place. Okay. So you're not like some of the people we've noticed have very, very specific where they get their briar? I mean if it's a good briar, you basically take it from there. Do you use any kind of a curing process, oil curing, air curing, the boil curing? Yeah, but, not all of the people have to watch these instances like that. Just a bite. It's a bit, not all of it. It should take impurities out of the briar and give it a better flavor. Air curing. Air curing. No, of course we have the natural. It's, he always let them air cure for a few years before he uses them. Oh wow. A few years. Well, no, some pipes, yeah. They're curing. Because he has been doing this for 12 years. And he sometimes blocks a briar set for upwards of 20 years. And it depends also how old the briar is. It depends how dense it is. It depends actually on the climate that it's being stored. And not only the climate that it came from and the size of the pipe you plan to make from it, anyway, it's all separate. It's been a pleasure meeting you. Thank you for the translation. I'm going to get one of these myself right now, but, well, that doesn't have to be for the video. I have to see which one I'm going to get and we could be running out of space. So take care. You
