  • I show you the beautiful new pipe made for me by Jason Patrick, and light it for the first time and then read 'concerning pipeweed' from the Fellowship of the Rings.
    Jason Patrick has a website for the pipes he makes which is here jasonpatrickpipes
    And there are some lovely photos of my particular pipe here: www.jasonpatrick.photo/People...
    As always you can, if you wish encourage me with coffee and cake here link: www.buymeacoffee.com/malcolmg...

      @@CristiNeagu I have actually been considering trying out pipes. I enjoy the flavor of a good cigar but I don't like the size of them and the cost can be ludicrous, minis are a decent alternative but trying a pipe has been on my mind for a little while.
      I honestly just have NO idea where to start with it. Don't want to waste money on a pipe and pouch and not enjoy it, ect..

    I knew an old highland cattle farmer in western New York State who was of Scottish heritage and was a celtic priest, teacher, woodworker and many other things. He became a sort of adoptive grandfather to my fiancée and I and would smoke a pipe as he told us stories for hours in his hand built stone house. I don’t think many young people our age get to experience that and I treasure it so deeply. He’s passed on now and your videos remind me so much of the time we had with him. They bring me a lot of comfort and I thank you for that.

    Two of my favorite topics; a new pipe and Tolkien! Having been a reader of the latter since 1968 and a smoker of the former since 1975, such a visit touches me nostalgically as well! I am old enough and comfortable enough to admit I'm a romantic and find myself in these later years returning to the stories that first captured my dreams as a youth; both fiction and in the Gospels. Thank you for these visits, Rev!

    The subtlety of your interaction with the cameraperson and the way you speak directly to the viewer ("I'm glad you came to call now") is such a delightful detail that I was wholly transported into this moment with you. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings with me and carving out a little moment of peace amongst the cacophony of life.
    I'm no longer a person of religion but I still hold that there is Divinity in and amongst the little, natural moments in life, and I'd like to think that you and this video carry some of that to all who have the chance to watch it. Thank you Malcolm.

    Dont quite know how I stumbled across your videos but I find them both intriguing and comforting. A 50 year old Canadian with Geordie immigrant parents, I have distant memories of visiting my grandparents in Blyth, in their humble two up two down by the sea and watching in awe as grandpa Jack smoked his pipe, showed us his war medals and played us old Aker Bilk vinyls. Then we took a ride in the old VW Beetle to the chip shop for saveloy and haddock and finished our meals off newspaper with a 99 cone from the cornershop. A simple life seems so much better.

    Many people my age 29 are getting into pipes. When I started I told my d&d group about it. Two of my players have pipes. Then I told one of my employees about it. He also smokes pipes and gave me tons of tips. Then I bought another friend his first pipe and he uses it to be able to focus and give up adhd medication. Lastly I helped a new smoker decide on a good tobacco a few days ago, who was about my age. Pipes are so back.

    Oh my. Somehow you came upon my feed. I absolutely loved this. As a pastor myself, I came into pipe smoking after my Dad passed away. I found his old pipe and asked my Mum if I could have it. I knew that I wanted to be connected to him somehow. And this was it. I have such fond memories of him laying by the fireplace smoking his pipe up the chimney. Since then, I have cherished my time of puffing away. Petersons are my favorite too. And yes, there is something about just sitting and smoking. It's a calming and centering sort of thing. To bring it around to Hobbits, just made my night! Cheers to you, Malcom. Kenneth.
