    Thank you for the fabulous video. I'm Malcom's age and lost my 90 year old father early Thursday morning. What Malcom discussed toward the end of the video concerning "being present" brought a tear to my eye. My father spent the last six weeks of his life in my home, under the care of myself and hospice. My world narrowed to a very specific focus, where nothing mattered but my father and his care. I was able to put aside everything else and say "here I am" to my ailing father. I'm grateful that I had that opportunity and committed to bringing that attitude to all the important relationships in my life. Thank you sir.

      God bless you sir. Yes it was definitely a blessing for both of you to be able to spend time together in his last months. Both of my parents died suddenly, and I was far enough away that I was not there. I really felt blessed reading your post. John.

    One thing I like about both of these gentlemen's channels is their accents. Alan, with his wonderful southern accent and Malcolm's quintessential English accent. I'm English and think how sad it would be if regional accents died out.

    As I have not travelled far from my home of Somerset England I sit here fascinated with the American fellow, he is like a character from a Hollywood film the way he looks and speaks.
    The very fact that people like him are "real" just like the mind boggling city of LA is real is very hard for a country boy like me to take in.
    Wonderful video thank you for posting.

    I had my two Savinellis on the Lynchburg TN square Sunday. My 611 Honey I had just sat down and fired up a bowl of Capt. Black Cherry. A string of about 8 tourists came by and said how wonderful it smelled & one gent said "I thought we were close to a restaurant"! They ALL loved it. Awhile later, setting in another spot with my gf and a brand new Roma 606 that had its inaugural light with Great Dane Vanilla...two ladies were taking photos of a young man for his senior pics. My smoke was blowing right at them, so I asked "Ladies, is my smoke bothering you"? OH NO! We were just talking about how WONDERFUL it smelled..it reminds me of an old, long deceased Uncle I had. You arent bothering us at all". I thanked them , and thought how nice a thing to say. TWO positive encounters in just a couple hours.

    The thing I love about Pipe Smoking is I am able to fondly remember my past good and even bad. A person might say why the bad and I think you see God's hand in every aspects of your life. I also find the pipe clears my mind and clears the fog out of my mind and allows me to remember the present. I have Parkinson's Disease and as it progresses I count on the clarity the pipe gives me. God has blessed me and I want for nothing so yes my Pipe is a blessing. God Bless.

    This is pure gold! It's so nice that in the midst of this insane, overly fast-paced, anti-Christian world in which we live in (but into which God has placed us--purposely--by His divine intention), some of us can slow down, enjoy a pipe and talk about things of goodness:
    Philippians 4:8
    "Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things."

    Please do more of these. Not only is the conversation between two people even more thought provoking than just one person's speech, but the younger generation (I'm 23 smoking some C&D Odessa as I type this) eat up long for content that you can just listen to. Often times our short attention spans make reading a little less enjoyable over longer periods of time, but listening is something we can still manage to do.

    Malcolm has been a huge role model as yourself has been for a beginner pipe smokesmoker.
    Incredible how a non religious, Swedish man as myself could find the two of you so interesting and it makes me consider my life, the universe and everything of that pipe smoking has already given me in the short time I've spent with this hobby and lifestyle.
    Thank you for this.

    Great interview!! As a younger poet and pipe-smoker, Malcolm Guite is one of my heroes of the faith. I have copies of of nearly all his works, both poetry and prose. His book "Mariner" in my opinion is the definitive work on Coleridge and his famous "Rime of the Ancient Mariner".

    What a wonderful video, Alan. I was able to listen to the entire thing while soaking in a hot bath with Epson salts. If I wasn’t around water, I would’ve been smoking my pipe. It was so amusing because when you said you had the Peterson’s spigot, 408. I have that exact same pie and I love it. I also have what looked to be the system 303 that Malcolm was smoking toward the end. I too am a huge fan of Peterson pipes. Once again, thank you so much for blessing me with your conversations. God bless you both. John.

    I really enjoyed this video as I do many Pipe Cottage videos and also Malcolm's content - Together was really good. I took up the pipe to better relax and enjoy. I often catch-up on this sort of content while I am enjoying a bowl. This morning I sat on the porch of our little temporary Airbnb in West Virginia (in wait of our first granchild) - I braved a bit of biting wind to enjoy a bowl of Old Dark Fired and cup of black coffee all the while enjoying the video as if I were sitting in the room and puffing away while taking it all in. I took a moment (and take the answer for what it's worth) to ask AI for the etymology of the word "Lunting" - Here is what that netherworld delivered - "The word "lunting" is believed to have originated from the Scottish language in the 17th century. It comes from the Scottish verb "lunt," which means to smoke or to emit smoke. The act of walking while smoking a pipe was referred to as "lunting" because the smoke would be trailing behind the person as they walked. Over time, the term "lunting" became more commonly associated with the leisurely act of walking while smoking a pipe. Today, the term is not commonly used outside of pipe-smoking circles, but it remains a quaint and nostalgic term that evokes a sense of leisure and relaxation."

    The one thing that seems to be overlooked about the enjoyment of smoking a pipe is the art, craft and material of the pipe. There is a person or persons who have constructed the pipe, with a material that Mother Nature has provided. Being a professional woodworker, I appreciate the uniqueness of each pipe as being one of a kind based on its material and the hands that constructed it. Wonderful interview! Hope you can interview pipe craftsman as well. I suggest Dan Boswell.

    A delightful listen! I've long been a hand knitter as it's slow and creative nature allows for many hours of contemplation. But sadly, my hands have begun to protest this joyful practice of making and thinking. I see from an online article, first appearing in the Spring issue of Pipes and Tobaccos magazine, that there is a wee history of lady pipe smokers (and makers). I'll give this discovery a think 🤔
