I got it recommended too. At first I thought it was going to be a comedy sketch in line with 'The Fast-show', about an eccentric English gentleman, it had all the hallmarks and clichés of being so. It took about a minute or so to realise the fellow wasn't an actor lol!. I watched it through to the end though, with splendid interest.

This dropped into my recommended today and I'm glad. It is so lovely and comfortable. I love old books, for one thing, and nostalgia and chatting. This was very enjoyable! :)
@@matthewtaylor7355 I think the situation in the UK is approaching desperate. The simple such as smoking a pipe and a visit a tobacconist is something that will soon be lost.
As a recovered alcoholic and chronic recovered nicotine addict I’m so envious of the simple pleasure of a pint and a lovely pipe. It’s a joy to watch you doing it instead Malcolm x
thanks for such a generous comment. I hope to provide you with vicarious pleasure but never with temptation. I regard recoveries such as yours as amongst the great unsung deeds of personal heroism.
I understand you my friend completely , whilst I can have a pint and control it I had to stop smoking, as I developed asthma and copd post covid , oh how I long for one last CIG, its painfully hard sometimes .
@@desmo9159If it’s nicotine you enjoy why not take up nasal snuff. It’s a delight with all the different flavours and is safe too. I should warn it is still obviously addictive though.
Now this is what the internet needs.I find the new technology seems to separate us all so much, sitting down and having a chat with a pint and a pipe makes it more palatable. I love Tennyson’s work I live very close to his house, the lane leading up to it is called Tennyson lane, I often go camping on the hill which is called (Blackdown) near Lurgashall, and Haslemere in Surrey, it’s steeped in history, last year I worked on a house which once belonged to sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the owners kindly let me have an old fire grate from one of the fireplaces, it’s now in my wood burner and I can’t help but sit here with the fire roaring on a cold winters evening, thinking that once upon a time Doyle, along with some of his friends like Bram stoker, Oscar Wilde and Harry Houdini all sat round this fire grate and had some very interesting conversations.
You remind me of my Dad, i loved him so much. I used to steal his pipe when he wasn't looking and blow into it and pretend i was smoking it! I can still hear the scraping sound as he cleaned out the bowl. I write stories and i always have a grey haired pipe smoking gentlemen in most of them as a tribute to him. Im pretty sure ive got a place for you in the fantasy novel im drafting now. What a splendid chap my character will be!! God bless you and keep you. 🙂
I wish I had a dad like this guy, instead of being the selfish, arrogant, egotistical, sanctimonious narcissist I've had to admit to knowing for the last 5 decades. The only thing he had in common with the owner of this channel, was that he smoked a pipe for a time, and drank pints of beer. This chap looks like someone who I'd be happy to sit in a pub with and ramble on about anything and everything. Plus he also looks like Dr. Zaius out of Planet of the apes.
@@surebrec5113 its hard accepting the fact that our fathers are selfish malignant narcissists. I take refuge in the fact that I see comments like this and know I am not alone.
The sincere and genuine welcoming ease makes this small amount of time gentleman a truly rewarding expense of time. What a wonderful counterpoint to the unyielding chaos YT has boiled down to. He is the adult derivative of Mr. Rogers. I truly appreciate this content. Thank you Mr. Guite
This fills me with a great nostalgia for rainy afternoons talking with my late grandfather while he enjoyed a pipe and a glass of whiskey when I was a young boy. As I enter middle age it's comforting knowing my grandson will one day fondly remember the same sort of experiences.
Just a lovely commentary on what a wonderful thing a pipe is when accompanied with an appropriate beverage. Then with a good read it is absolutely magical.
I can see the old boys in my Grandparents house in rural Ireland lighting their pipes when I was maybe 10..I loved the smell...they drank whiskey, played cards and had discussions...I stayed up late and was enthralled...none of them had much but it was the best of times circa 1985
A long continous present, what a beautiful idea. Its easy to forget that history is not just stories and tales, it is a record of human lives. From Sumer to New York, we are all one kind in the end
I had the pleasure of working with/supporting an older gentleman quite similar to this man. He was one of the most amazing people to have a conversation with and had such a distinguished, deep and mellow English accent. Listening to him made you feel as of you’d traveled through time. He was incredibly knowledgable and could talk with anyone about almost anything for hours. Watching this video brought back some great memories and made me smile. Thank you for these videos.
Love to see you settled, cozy and chatting about simple, beautiful pleasures such as Tolkien, pipe smoking, ale/beer and literature etc., in your office/library/nook. One even admits to being a little covetous!
Something i have thought about is the resources, science,and craftsmanship that goes into these things we love.The grains for beer the tobacco and wood for smoking.
I hear many of you are us my friend. Just sent abroad to work for the empire or to serve time for something they may or may not have done 😅. Our old buildings are yours (as far as I am concerned). Personally, I have a british heritage family that went to Australia from the colonies in India after the collapse of said empire. (From an Englishman)
So very nice to come across your channel. Amazing how one's pipe journey never ends and leads us together as a community. A pleasure to make your acquaintance sir.
I like to think that when I light my pipe, I’m connecting with the past. I would love to make it across the pond and visit some of those historic inns and churches some day. Bucket list! Slainte brother! 🥃💨💨💨
I have just gotten into cigar smoking and this fine gentleman's videos have been recommended. How thankful I am. Love the ritual of sitting with a good book and good flavored tobacco.
I smoke Peterson tobacco from many Peterson pipes and have a pewter tankard to drink my English pints out of… I feel like I’m watching what I want to be when I grow up and what could be my best friend now. Thank you for sharing your loves with us.
Now that i' ve found this channel, i get more regretful not having had opportunity to travel back to Britain as that is my ancestral home where we know from family bibles the two original brothers came over from Nottinghamshire in early 1800. I never had a career that paid enough to fund a trip that expansive. Clock repair and restoration does not really make one a lot of money if one is legitimate.lol depends on where you live in the US. Anyway, i love your little talks as i always feel that spirit of Englishness that is nostalgic to me and gives me that feeling of closer ties to England. I love the old pubs and Inns, its one of my fave subjects i like to look up videos about on youtube as there are so many good historical presentations and travel videos of people that go around showing them and how they are built inside. The bad thing is seeing the videos about the old inns and pubs that had to be closed due to the covid economic crash or idiot government forcing a place to go out of business because they want to reroute a road or something. Really sad to see many of these great places shuttered and no life as a pub or inn should have.
What a nice picture of yours, the painted one commemorating Tolkien and the spoken one being the oldest buildings in a typical English village, the inn, and the church. May God bless you for thriving nostalgia and wisdom, Malcolm!
I'm really in a sad state of mind these days after losing a beloved relative. I come here to listen to Malcolm and it always calms me. Such a wonderful and pleasant escape from it all.
Malcolm, you are such a blessing. Listening /watching your videos is like spending time with a great friend. Thank you for adding true value to my life
"...Lives in a long continuos present..." beautiful words. Thanks for sharing, Fr. Malcom. God bless you and may our Mother Mary protect you always with her blessed mantle!
I miss the old style grog house, full of smoke and talk. I'm from the black country where that old English accent is so rich it becomes a dialect when spoken by two or more natives.
Congratulations sir , being a Sherlock Holmes fan I have collected all the original series and the pipe stand for them . It took me awhile and now I have them all in the original 1st series. A fun way to collect and you can never enough Peterson’s . Their pipes are great for the money . Best wishes Mate and happy piping Scott
Very aptly expressed regarding the continuity not only in regards to the old inn but the old church as well. Watching you sit and read, I can almost smell the delicious smoke from your pipe.🤗
A chance and lucky find…. I came across your channel one evening whilst venturing down the UA-cam rabbit hole. A very easy and comforting watch…. Tolkien readings and observations are just wonderful as indeed are all the subjects you cover. I’m an ex smoker and find myself envious and yet appreciating and enjoying your enthusiasm for your fine pipes and tobacco! Superb 😊
Oh my, how I loved to listen to this more than once. You have brought sweet meaning into a strangle time in the world. Cheers from a brother of the briar.
Love the story and content , very interesting subject, not to heavy , I love old Inns & Pubs , old churches are another interest , you might find how place names come about and there origins and how they evolved into what we have today , I find the subjects interesting, love your Sherlock Holmes pipe and Tankard, one of my Aunties bought me a pewter Tankard for my 21st Birthday and my Mum bought me a Meecham lined Brier pipe , so the two go together throw a good book in there and you can be quite content with yourself. Thank you Malcom 😊
I absolutely love listening to people who have knowledge and control over the english language that is simultaneously poetic and masterfully deep at the conversational level. Just watching this video has relaxed me greatly and I love the inspiration derived from Tolkien who is one of my favourite writers. Subscribed on the first video!
How refreshing you are. Books i still have, but had to give up my wine and smokes.. how i miss them. And how i wish i had a splendid fellow like yourself to sit down with and have interesting conversations.
Malcolm you are a beautiful man full of wisdom and thank you so much for being yourself in this world of mass 'content' and the pace of it all. This is not content and is completely genuine. As people have said, we stay because of you, not because of the prize at the end of the video etc etc. Listening to you is so relaxing and very interesting as well. I have no idea how but you resemble the personality of all my grandparents in one soul! You are a hero. Keep it up ol' dude.
I'm a newbie in smoking pipe, but is awesome to me be capable of discovering new things about this world, like this channel, I'm from Brazil, and our pipe smokers community is not so big as English speakers community, and in some time in my search about that I forgot that I speak English kkkkkkk, but to end all my blablabla, I never knew my dad, but if I could choose a dad, it would be someone like you, a man with curiosity and knowledge, you are amazing Sir!!
Pipe and a Pint. I think few things are made for each other. Although Pipe with a strong cup of tea with the shot of whisky in it is an admirable combination too.
I’ve just recently read that story in your book and it’s so nice to hear you read it aloud! Going to enjoy a pipe now and look forward to your next video! Cheers
I love watching your videos, especially ones where you enjoy a smoke of your pipes and various beverages. You got me so interested in Peterson pipes that I actually researched the company and history of pipe making in Ireland. I was fortunate enough to find a brand new 150th Peterson Anniversary pipe and purchased it...it was the last one that store still had from six years ago! When I listen to you it is like sitting and listening to a wise grandfather with so much life experience to share. I thank you for sharing!
Great,thorougly enjoyed. I got my first pipe this Christmas,and am looking forward to trying some new tobaccos. Thanks for this chat,look forward to more. Best wishes from Devon
Was trying to learn how to blow rings and found this channel. and so I still sit here not quite getting them but relaxing and having a good laugh, couldn't have found a better way to end my day.
This is what I needed. I’m Navajo so I love story telling like my grandma and grandpa also my parents use to tell me and my sisters when we were kids were the most memorable and beautiful thing ever for me. Also some scary stories too. Since I got older like 12 I’ve been reading books and collecting them, also comic books and graphic novels. Im a bookworm but I don’t tell my friends. J love your stories and pipe collection.
I wish this gentleman was my neighbor. We’d have jolly good chats and share pipes and pints regularly. We’ll have to continue in spirit. Best wishes from a random backyard shed in Arizona!
Love these books! Thank you, Malcolm, and for reading your essay. My father had several Britain in Pictures books in his library and I remember when I was a child being attracted by the covers, especially their colours and wonderful art work, and though not a pipe smoker (wondering if there are any female pipe smokers amongst us?), I reckon the joy of opening a fresh tin of tobacco is as intoxicating to you, as lifting the lid off a tin of fresh Darjeeling loose leaf tea is to me.
yes, they are wonderful little books. My great grandmother used to light her husband's pipe and get it going for him and liked it so much that she took up a pipe herself and they spent their evenings sitting companionably by the ingle nook puffing away
That room is an elegantly disheveled mess of literature, education and relaxation with its wonky lampshade included. That is what real hobbies look like 👍🏻
Malcolm, thank you so much for sharing your experiences in Keswick, as I shared a pipe of Samuel Gawith tobacco with you, I was suddenly transported to the Royal Oak, and a longing to savour a pint of Thwaites, me thinks a Pilgrimage that I will have to undertake, and absorb the resonance of travellers and poets past. God Bless. Steve.
Algorithm threw this at me. You, sir, are everything that is right with England.
Welcome. you are most kind.

Thanks. You did well to get that anniversary Peterson!
I love you so much. Thanks for all your wisdom. God bless you. Light worker.
Great,thorougly enjoyed. I got my first pipe this Christmas,and am looking forward to trying some new tobaccos. Thanks for this chat,look forward to more. Best wishes from Devon
I see Our Lady of Guadalupe sir! Our Lord ever reaches out to you through the arms of His most lovely and Holy Mother. God bless you 🙏🏼
Was trying to learn how to blow rings and found this channel. and so I still sit here not quite getting them but relaxing and having a good laugh, couldn't have found a better way to end my day.
This is quality content is very gentle on the senses. These days, I find that super refreshing. Thank you for the video, and cheers.
This is what I needed. I’m Navajo so I love story telling like my grandma and grandpa also my parents use to tell me and my sisters when we were kids were the most memorable and beautiful thing ever for me. Also some scary stories too. Since I got older like 12 I’ve been reading books and collecting them, also comic books and graphic novels. Im a bookworm but I don’t tell my friends. J love your stories and pipe collection.
That's how I've imagine what Santa is doing at the rest of the year ❤🎅🏻 no offence if so 🤗
What a wonderful channel I have stumbled upon… full of gentleness, erudite discussion and delightful literary gems. Thank you so much.
I wish this gentleman was my neighbor. We’d have jolly good chats and share pipes and pints regularly. We’ll have to continue in spirit. Best wishes from a random backyard shed in Arizona!
Watched many of your videos. I think this one is my favorite. Bless you Sir.
Love these books! Thank you, Malcolm, and for reading your essay.
My father had several Britain in Pictures books in his library and I remember when I was a child being attracted by the covers, especially their colours and wonderful art work, and though not a pipe smoker (wondering if there are any female pipe smokers amongst us?), I reckon the joy of opening a fresh tin of tobacco is as intoxicating to you, as lifting the lid off a tin of fresh Darjeeling loose leaf tea is to me.
yes, they are wonderful little books. My great grandmother used to light her husband's pipe and get it going for him and liked it so much that she took up a pipe herself and they spent their evenings sitting companionably by the ingle nook puffing away
Ever since my daughter moved to the UK I have wandered whenever I visit in search of you although I didn't know it was you I was looking for
Your a true gentleman mate 🤝🏻 they come few and far between nowadays, all the best in the future 😊
I am 68, an Anglophile, a Tolkien lover. This is pure joy.
I love Peterson pipes! I also own a Peterson Hansom. Beautiful video! Silviu🤝👍
They are beautifully built pipes.
That room is an elegantly disheveled mess of literature, education and relaxation with its wonky lampshade included. That is what real hobbies look like 👍🏻
Malcolm, thank you so much for sharing your experiences in Keswick, as I shared a pipe of Samuel Gawith tobacco with you, I was suddenly transported to the Royal Oak, and a longing to savour a pint of Thwaites, me thinks a Pilgrimage that I will have to undertake, and absorb the resonance of travellers and poets past. God Bless. Steve.
Wonderful!
