@@TommyRepulsed You make a good point. He was being a bit excessive with it. It may well have been the primary reason he associated with hobbits. He liked that good herb they had more than the Bree stuff, or the plants found growing wild.
It also sets up the fact that he had dealings with the Shire, setting up what would be the chapter where Frodo and the other 3 Hobbits would have to retake the Shire (a scene cut from the movie, as Saruman originally dies there by his aide's hand and not at his tower)
It's interesting to see how the pipe smoking was so much more frequent in Fellowship, in contrast to the remaining trilogy. I think it signifies how as everything in the story is coming to a point, there is so much fewer times at which the characters can rest. As the minor conflicts arise more frequently, and the major ones draw closer, nobody has time to smoke their pipe. Especially Sam and Frodo, not to mention Aragorn and Gimli, what with all the trekking and running they're all doing.
In the book they actually got some time to smoke after Isengard was taken, with Pippin giving Gimli a spare pipe while he and Merry catch the three hunters up on what happened to the two Hobbits.
That definitely makes sense. As I've become more aware of pipe smoking and Tolkien's love of it, I think it's a symbol of relaxation and the idea of home. So while it is later throughout the trilogy, it's more heavy as a Shire thing because the Shire represents home and relaxation
There is just a way The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings have this welcoming feel about them. A feeling that one can't help but yearn for. Maybe its a feeling for returning to a simpler way of life, or just plain simple living. But its a welcoming feeling, a warm feeling. Like the fullness of a meal.
@@FadedOxide the Hobbit is totally doable. It’s much shorter than the other books and the writing style is different. It’s much more accessible. There are also some phenomenal audio books out there on account of its fame
Yeah, the hobbit life feels like a very quiet and Chilled life, sure you probably still have some Work to do but what is just the most beautifull thing about the Hobbits is that they dont seem to have any ill will against eachother and the whole Community really is like a big friendly family, other than our Modern society where you are always pressured to be someone you arent and all people are far away from eachother and absolute selfish f*cks, the Hobbits way of living just seems to be ideal, sure they have no great luxury and are basicly in the middle ages but life is also easyer.
11:03 I _love_ this little detail. This is the only time we see Gandalf, a veteran smoker, coughing. He's coughing because he's been smoking a lot because he's stressed out, and smoking his pipe relaxes him. That's so bloody cute for some reason.
I don't smoke myself, but Tolkien enjoyed doing so. I'm glad that Peter Jackson didn't play politically correct and purge it from his trilogy. It's a part of the tale and should remain.
Well, it's a 20YO movie 😂 I'm glad the Hobbit also has pipesmokimg in it, but as I was making a similar compilation I noticed that Martin Freeman was fake piping (pipe in mouth, never exhales any smoke) so I've seen no point in making the video...

Gandalf ultimately used a Balrog to light up his bong. Saruman got stabbed and chucked off the same tower he imprisoned Gandalf in. Meanwhile Gandalf told a Moth to tell Eagles to rescue him. The Eagles actually came.... Give me whatever Gandalf is smoking any day.

Especially pipe smoking while listening to shire ambience in a comfy chair. The simple pleasures the highlight of my day where I can just forget about the world for a while. Thank you Tolkien may your soul rest beyond the grey havens!
I like the older movies because of the warmth it gives off, the real sets that they build, the beautiful landscapes and the minimum use of greenscreen. It had a more realistic and serious feel and a heaviness too it.
Great video! Thanks for putting it together. I recently started pipe smoking. Tolkien's work has been a great influence on my step on joining this great hobby.
That's the point of Tolkien's writing, after all he is the man who said "If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world" Sauron is not important, not really, give it 2 or 3 ages and he will be forgotten, but the joy everyone gets while eating a good meal? Or the one they get when they can enjoy a good pipe? That's something that no amount of ages can destroy
You can tell the author was a pipe smoker. But it fits the story line very well. I must admit on a lazy summer evening letting your mind wonder whilst slowly puffing on your favourite pipe is very relaxing with the added benefit of no pesky Orc's to spoil it.
I used to smoke a pipe in college a mercham pipe cause it was so cool and smothe. Didn't like cigarettes as I found them harsh until one Christmas when my dad's friend the Counsel General of Turkey brought a gift of Turkish filterless cigarettes in a double layered box. The tastyest, smootest cigarettes I have ever trieed. But I long ago gave up smoking of all forms
People think Tolkein was a tobacco pipe smoker you don't write a ridiculously big epic fantasy that survived decades after decades without a little weed in your pipe
Anyone who has ever dug in a garden in England has probably found a small clay pipe at one time or another. They were buried all over the place when I was young.
A good friend of my brother and I gave us his entire pipe collection last night!!! And one of them was a Churchwarden, like the kind they smoke in the *LOTR!!!!!!!!!!!!* That one, of course, I kept for myself!!!!
Very neat to see all the pipe shots. The actual story doesn't mention much pipe smoking (in the book), but I think hollywood nailed the shots where folks would be smoking. thanks for the compliations
It's criminal Ian McKellan didn't win an Oscar for The Lord of the Rings. The range of emotions he performs are second to none. One of the best performances in cinema history.
Thinking back its hard to point to another set of heros that make smoking look so cool growing up. I credit lotr for making me wanna smoke cigars while hanging with friends
I talk to tobacco shops (not vape shops, but legit tobacco shops), and they commented pipe smoking was quickly disappearing with time, only to make a resurgence once LOTR came out. It began to decrease once again, only to more recently come back in style for some reason. Really interesting how a movie, which merely shows simple relaxed people pipe smoking and having fun, would influence people so much.
There's a small nice detail of Gimli having a clay or meerschaum pipe, as a dwarf, compared to the hobbits and humans who use wooden pipes. It also seems like hobbits, who are more carefree, are more likely to have churchwardens.
I am not entirely convinced that is is merschaum, could be just a lighter wood or coloured. But if we look for an in world ecplanation, there might be a suitable mineral the dwarves would know and mine. I actually like that thought.
If I ever was to take up smoking (which I probably never will, I like my lungs) I'd definitely go with pipe smoking. It's just so much more refined looking in my eyes than a cigarette, plus you can get all the interesting flavours
I won't pretend pipesmoking is healthy or anything, but since you mention lungs specifically, are you avare that pipesmoke is not meant to be inhaled? (neither does cigarsmoke), you can do whatever you like, some surely inhale it, but usually it is just puffed.
You mean to tell me Legolas & Gimili accounted for less than 100 kills at Helms Deep. Seems like they’d have a huge kill count. Especially Gimili spawn camping on top of the ladders and on the bridge to the main gate
Ok,first, i dig your brain with my weapon, that is a valid kill, second, a battle with proportion of 3 do 1 is almost unwinnable, each soldier would have to kill 3 foes... they alone killed 85(sorry legolas). Fun fact : legolas was an average elf (very good with the bow among them), That means that a army of 800 elves can take an enemy army of 32.000 Power builded orcs (uruk-hai)

10:48 when you think you've smoked all the weed and your friend has some hidden
I believe it’s time to watch The Lord of the Rings again, and enjoy a pipe of pipe weed.
Looks good. Reminds me of the ‘70s
Thinking back its hard to point to another set of heros that make smoking look so cool growing up. I credit lotr for making me wanna smoke cigars while hanging with friends
I talk to tobacco shops (not vape shops, but legit tobacco shops), and they commented pipe smoking was quickly disappearing with time, only to make a resurgence once LOTR came out. It began to decrease once again, only to more recently come back in style for some reason. Really interesting how a movie, which merely shows simple relaxed people pipe smoking and having fun, would influence people so much.
LOTR, the epic that put churchwarden pipes on the map.
They all thought about it logically
Loved it thank you.
There's a small nice detail of Gimli having a clay or meerschaum pipe, as a dwarf, compared to the hobbits and humans who use wooden pipes. It also seems like hobbits, who are more carefree, are more likely to have churchwardens.
I am not entirely convinced that is is merschaum, could be just a lighter wood or coloured. But if we look for an in world ecplanation, there might be a suitable mineral the dwarves would know and mine. I actually like that thought.
If I ever was to take up smoking (which I probably never will, I like my lungs) I'd definitely go with pipe smoking. It's just so much more refined looking in my eyes than a cigarette, plus you can get all the interesting flavours
I won't pretend pipesmoking is healthy or anything, but since you mention lungs specifically, are you avare that pipesmoke is not meant to be inhaled? (neither does cigarsmoke), you can do whatever you like, some surely inhale it, but usually it is just puffed.
you know with all the laughing coming from those 2 are we sure that pipe weed was all they found? lol
I like to imagine that Gandalf was high asf for the whole trilogy.
@@OldPirate1718because he probably was ! And it’s funny asf
@@OldPirate1718 "dope" ok Boomer
I wish we had such a fellowship with so many pipe smokers back these days of nowadays, as it was so common in the past.. 😅
You mean to tell me Legolas & Gimili accounted for less than 100 kills at Helms Deep. Seems like they’d have a huge kill count. Especially Gimili spawn camping on top of the ladders and on the bridge to the main gate
Ok,first, i dig your brain with my weapon, that is a valid kill, second, a battle with proportion of 3 do 1 is almost unwinnable, each soldier would have to kill 3 foes... they alone killed 85(sorry legolas).
Fun fact : legolas was an average elf (very good with the bow among them),
That means that a army of 800 elves can take an enemy army of 32.000 Power builded orcs (uruk-hai)
The Fellowship of the Weed
It's not really weed it's just tobbaco
that's why the hobbits have so much delicious food...the munchies
Did a wake and bake with this on. Very nice experience.
The churchwarden and the tomahawk style pipes seem to be a very popular and well common pipe in Lotr.
Lady pipe smoker here. This was awesome. As with any habit, moderation.
I got myself a longstem pipe....You already know I'm hittin that Old Toby.
Love it. Great coverage.
Churchwarden pipes are so awesome. Might buy one one day
I smoked the perfect spliff while watching this.
