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.
I must thank you fellows i was smoking and listening and i suddenly felt a great urge and fell on my knees and prayed like I had not in some time. Thank you gentlemen for helping me to once more renew my faith in the almighty.
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.
Stonewall Jackson meets Bilbo Baggins, in the 21st century. A very good interveiw that I truly enjoyed. Thanks Mr. Harralson. God bless you, and Mr. Guite. One of the best videos I've watched in a long while.
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.
I'm glad you shared this with us. I hope we can carry these "old" ways well into the future and carry on traditional style of intellectual conversations and mutual respect for one another. This is pure gold what you have going on with the pipe cottage.👍🏼👍🏼
I found myself not only sitting here nodding constantly during this wonderful conversation, but reflecting thoughtfully upon my own love of smoking pipes and cigars and how my thoughts around the hobby are very much aligned with these fine gentlemen. Cheers to all my fellow pipe and cigar enthusiasts out there.
Two of my favorite UA-camrs. I pray that the Lord blesses you both and further enhances your enjoyment of the simple things in life. Thanks for the video
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."
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.
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.
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.
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.
I'm not much of a believer or church guy, but I enjoyed your talk a lot! Thanks for having us the possibillity to watch that. Thanks and Greetings from Germany
Third time watching this video! These two fellows just get it… No one around me understands, so I’m so grateful for people making content like this! I’m not alone.
I have always enjoyed watching Malcolm's channel. He and I are the same age and of the same mind. I enjoy hearing his poetry and hearing his critiques on great poets of the past . I really like the way he runs his channel as though you are sitting there with him. Thank you so much for sharing this interview. Very truly yours Ron
A great conversation to observe. I particularly enjoy going to my shed, where there is no phone reception, and just be present with my pipe. Its a true haven to me. When I am overwhelmed I try to remind myself that being present is all there actually is. Amazing final words.
Wow what a fantastic video. This was the perfect backdrop to an hour of work during my afternoon. I'm not a religious person but I love Malcolm Guite for his thoughtfulness and his skill with the verse and his love for so many of the classic works of literature that I love. And I have to say, this was a wonderful interview, I appreciate the thoughtful questions you posed to him, and I appreciated that you gave him the room to speak and really answer them all.
What a delightful and unexpected treat this was. I just happened upon Mr. Malcolm's channel a few weeks ago and I went on a lovely trip down that rabbit hole. Thank you for having him as a guest.
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 great conversation!! It's allways time we'll spent listening to Alan and Malcolm. Having the two of them together is really a fine treat! Thank You Gentlemen.
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.
Listening to these accents is itself like smoking two different blends. I would never have expected to smoke them both at once, but it is most intriguing.
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."
Can beautiful describe a UA-cam video. The original recordings the Percy Grainger made to compose Lincolnshire Posey are quite remarkable, has is how he respected those voices with his adaptation are quite amazing. Thank you to my daughter for sharing those with me.
What a thoroughly enjoyable experience listening to these two Gentlemen. It makes you appreciate a Pipe for something more than just a pleasurable smoke. I have tried the tobacco that Malcom mentioned, Kendal black cherry and it was a most enjoyable smoke I must say. Thank you both for your time and company Gents.
Ahhh Alan I love ya brother!! Thank you so much for that! Im a huge fan of Mr Guite. You asked him all the questions I would have and more. Great work sir!👏👏👏
What a treat that was having two of my listening favorites sit down for a conversation. It is so interesting to me to have these two gentlemen from very different backgrounds and parts of this world connect over their faith and love of pipe smoking. Thank you for that!
Fantastic conversation. Dr Harrelson, as a Brit I often hear Americans complement us on our accents. I would like to return the compliment. Your accent wonderful. Its a triumph for the articulation of the English language.
What a wonderful conversation regarding things of wisdom and pleasurable. Thank you, Allen, for doing this conversational interview. I'm a fan of you borh, as you know. As a writer in later life, I struggle with finding the time to sit and write. The pipe has helped me slow down and do that. What great support for the growth of a being a real thinking man. Just the best.
What a refreshing, thought-provoking, and beautiful conversation between genuine gentlemen. You have blessed and encouraged the hearts of many men today.
Such a pleasant surprise to see you talking with Malcolm. I've had two chats with him on my channel, and he's an endlessly good conversationalist. Glad to take in a Guite conversation solely about pipes.
I just happened upon this video this morning. I've been watching Malcolm's videos for some time now and wanting to read his poetry. Thoroughly enjoyed this video and so completely relate to the meditative, contemplative aspects of smoking a pipe. Really enjoyed seeing both of you in one video.
Everything said in this video concerning a pipe while writing is true in my own experience as well. While crafting a sermon outline - a pipe can get me past a difficult to grasp passage. This is a great video.
Thanks for this! I have taken up pipe smoking recently but only indulge after I complete (Anglican) Evening Prayer - making sure to put first things first. I also like smoking a pipe because it doesn't stink up my house, like a cigar. My uncle used to smoke a pipe when I was a kid (before my cousin badgered him into giving it up), and I just remember how wonderful his office (which was in the downstairs part of his house) smelled when I would venture down there.
This was absolutely enjoyable to watch and listen to this morning. Alan another outstanding discussion and choice of guest to have on your channel. Malcolm is a tru delight and superb speaker. I wasn’t enjoying a pipe while watching but I most certainly will rewatch this later and enjoy a Peterson Pipe with some PS Proper English and a glass of scotch later this afternoon. I absolutely agree that the pipe requires though, preparation, time and quiet. Being able to just sit and enjoy the moment while allowing everything else to be still is perfect. Cheers to you Alan and Malcolm 🥃
Sir Malcolm I don’t know if you will see this I am from the great state of Mississippi USA I’ll listen to you at night while I drive my semi your stories and explanation of Bible verses means a great deal to me and your poetry those also with gods love stay strong and keep it coming
What an absolute pleasure to watch. Looking forward to re-watching, with pipe in hand. Well presented and articulated topics and intriguing observations by these two gentlemen.
Thank you so much. It was a true blessing, as it always is on this channel. I look forward to each new video. So much wisdom and positive advice in your content.
I throughly enjoyed the video. I have followed Malcolm's channel from the beginning. The discussion was very enjoyable and thought provoking. Maybe we'll meet some time.I will be moving to Kentucky some time after May. I'm getting older. 8-) Thank you very much.
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 🤔 Women: Important Players in the Pipe World
Love this video. Malcolm Guite is a legend. I love his writings and his pipe smoking. Thank you for your video and collaboration with him! Happy smokes sir!
Wonderful! What a pleasure. Thank you for sharing this. I'm grateful for all of your videos and especially grateful to you for your frequent mentions of Wendell Berry. I will never stop reading Jayber Crow. Berry is an absolute hero.
I'm rather new to pipe smoking and I can see the appeal of sitting in contemplation while smoking your pipe. Enjoying the flavor, blowing the odd smoke ring, etc. This reminds me of Lemmy Kilmister from the band Motorhead. He felt the same about music. While it's nice to have a tune on in the background, you'll get the most out of the music and your time when you quiet down and really listen to it. When you distract yourself from music, just like pipe smoking, you rob yourself of the best part of it. I've found myself becoming my own friend in these times of solitude and thought. Enjoying a pipe or listening to music or both at the same time! A nice tune can go a long way with a nice bowl of tobacco. Whether it be jazz, classical music, country or rock and roll, I get this sort of stimulation in all of my senses. This time around, I listened to you both converse while I puffed on my pipe, and I enjoyed contemplating your words of wisdom. Thank you both for the great conversation!
Love your channel, and Malcolm Guite is one of my go too’s on you tube, if you could have a guest for Sunday dinner he would be in our top 5 such a knowledgable gentleman
As I am just getting into pipe smoking again, through all your videos you manage to answer a lot of my questions. I didnt know just how much conversation there could be on just smoking pipes. Almost to the point that its to justify your pipe smoking. But I do enjoy hearing the conversations about it. Gives me reasons to tell people that ask me why I am smoking a pipe.
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.
This may be the most enjoyable video I have seen on youtube. I love Malcolm and your interview was just superb. Please have Malcolm back. Love your channel Alan.
What an amazing collaboration! I've only found Malcolm's work recently, but this video exemplifies the best aspects of both of your channels. An introspective and insightful discussion.
Such an interesting conversation between two people. Delicious accents. Although I’m not a pipe smoker myself I can certainly appreciate the lifestyle and am glad it is still taken seriously. Soulful. Thankyou gentlemen 🙏🏻
Thank you so much for this great video! I need to watch it again, it is so full of wisdom and great advice. You are a great host and thank you for posting this gem.
Possibly the greatest crossover within the UA-cam cosmos

God bless
My condolences to you and your family. Being able to car for you father at that time will always be a special moment in your life.
God bless you man, and deepest condolences for your father.
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.
❤
I wasn't expecting a conversation between these two giants but man was I delighted to see it in my feed.
Very Excellently done...
Excellent discussion...
Malcom Guite is a treasure. A wise and pointed lesson on temperance. ❤
A little too blue pilled for me, but I' am a young pipe smoker so that may just be age that is the difference between us.
I must thank you fellows i was smoking and listening and i suddenly felt a great urge and fell on my knees and prayed like I had not in some time. Thank you gentlemen for helping me to once more renew my faith in the almighty.

More like foghorn leghorn
Malcolm is a diamond of a gentleman and poet. And your Kentucky accent is delightful to these English ears
I’m only half way through this and not only is this a great conversation but the accents have me hooked. Good job gentlemen.
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.

Great conversation gentlemen! Greetings from Ireland. Home of kapp and Peterson
I'm glad you shared this with us. I hope we can carry these "old" ways well into the future and carry on traditional style of intellectual conversations and mutual respect for one another. This is pure gold what you have going on with the pipe cottage.👍🏼👍🏼
Agreed! These two men are absolute gentlemen and I love their work
Just got my first Pipe. Pure Inspiration.
That was an hour spent in wonderful company. It feels like we are all in a lounge together, very inviting.
I found myself not only sitting here nodding constantly during this wonderful conversation, but reflecting thoughtfully upon my own love of smoking pipes and cigars and how my thoughts around the hobby are very much aligned with these fine gentlemen. Cheers to all my fellow pipe and cigar enthusiasts out there.

Thank you for this.
Malcom is quite the character. I enjoyed hearing his thoughts. I just wish he would have let you contribute more to the conversation.
I purposely started smoking pipes very recently with the uttermost intent to begin slowing down and writing poetry while puffing on my pipe. 😊
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.

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.

It’s crazy seeing my favorite UA-camrs doing videos together. First DeWayne now Malcolm! It must be my birthday
I have always enjoyed watching Malcolm's channel. He and I are the same age and of the same mind. I enjoy hearing his poetry and hearing his critiques on great poets of the past . I really like the way he runs his channel as though you are sitting there with him. Thank you so much for sharing this interview. Very truly yours Ron
Thank you gentlemen, writing as an Englishman it was a real delight to enjoy your conversation.
I always enjoy Malcolm.
A great conversation to observe. I particularly enjoy going to my shed, where there is no phone reception, and just be present with my pipe. Its a true haven to me. When I am overwhelmed I try to remind myself that being present is all there actually is. Amazing final words.

What an Interview! Dr Guite is a true character. Wonderful!
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".
Mariner is a fabulous work!
What a treat! Thanks for the great conversation, gents!
What a great conversation!! It's allways time we'll spent listening to Alan and Malcolm. Having the two of them together is really a fine treat! Thank You Gentlemen.

Hope you can interview pipe craftsman as well. I suggest Dan Boswell.
The peterson's pipe is the thinking man's pipe, I like that.
Won’t see thinking advertised these days ….🤡
I could listen to Malcolm speak about anything.
Listening to these accents is itself like smoking two different blends. I would never have expected to smoke them both at once, but it is most intriguing.
When I heard the borderlands and their connection to Appalachia, my ears perked up! That's my roots!
So glad to hear malcolm talk about Tolkiens writtings.
Brother, to see two folks I’ve been following come together is a beautiful thing. This and Dry Creek is amazing. Spurgeon Piper too!
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've been a big fan of Malcom's for a long time. Great to see him on here!

Ah lovely been going down the Guite rabbit hole lately, lovely bloke.
What a beautiful dialogue: an older, wiser man and a younger man with wisdom enough to ask to best questions.
What a beautiful video!! Don’t forget the aesthetics of pipes themselves. They can be exquisite in design, finish, etc, regardless of how they smoke.
Before I have watched it I was sceptical. When I am watching it, I'm impressed!
Thanks!
🇵🇱

What an absolute pleasure to watch. Looking forward to re-watching, with pipe in hand. Well presented and articulated topics and intriguing observations by these two gentlemen.
Belloc, Chesterton, Lewis and Tolkien, pray for us.
Thank you so much. It was a true blessing, as it always is on this channel. I look forward to each new video. So much wisdom and positive advice in your content.

Enjoying the flavor, blowing the odd smoke ring, etc. This reminds me of Lemmy Kilmister from the band Motorhead. He felt the same about music. While it's nice to have a tune on in the background, you'll get the most out of the music and your time when you quiet down and really listen to it. When you distract yourself from music, just like pipe smoking, you rob yourself of the best part of it. I've found myself becoming my own friend in these times of solitude and thought. Enjoying a pipe or listening to music or both at the same time! A nice tune can go a long way with a nice bowl of tobacco. Whether it be jazz, classical music, country or rock and roll, I get this sort of stimulation in all of my senses. This time around, I listened to you both converse while I puffed on my pipe, and I enjoyed contemplating your words of wisdom. Thank you both for the great conversation!
great interview, thank you both for the awesome discussion.
Alan, thank you for arranging such a entertaining, uplifting and interesting conversation. It was very easy to be "present." Take care, God Bless!
Love your channel, and Malcolm Guite is one of my go too’s on you tube, if you could have a guest for Sunday dinner he would be in our top 5 such a knowledgable gentleman
As I am just getting into pipe smoking again, through all your videos you manage to answer a lot of my questions. I didnt know just how much conversation there could be on just smoking pipes. Almost to the point that its to justify your pipe smoking. But I do enjoy hearing the conversations about it. Gives me reasons to tell people that ask me why I am smoking a pipe.
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.
It doesn’t get much better than that! Bravo and amen
What a wonderful video today gents, so much fun to watch and learn new great things.
Gentlemen thank you for this great conversation, I enjoyed it very much!
I love Malcom,such a beautiful soul.
I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation. I would enjoy seeing more on a regular basis if it were doable. Excellent piece!
Fantastic episode, thank you. I’ve been waiting for the right event to catch a show at Ryman. Hoping this happens.
The two best channels collaborate into one video........Brilliant!....... I thoroughly enjoyed this one!
This may be the most enjoyable video I have seen on youtube. I love Malcolm and your interview was just superb. Please have Malcolm back. Love your channel Alan.
One more tremendous conversation for my library. Like Malcolm I enjoy your 'content and delivery.' all dressed up on this one 😊
What a treat! When I watch his videos I feel I am right there in the room. Same thing with your videos! Thank you sir!
Excellent video. Love the collaboration with Mr. Guite. You’re killing it Mr. Harrelson.
What an amazing collaboration! I've only found Malcolm's work recently, but this video exemplifies the best aspects of both of your channels. An introspective and insightful discussion.
Such an interesting conversation between two people. Delicious accents. Although I’m not a pipe smoker myself I can certainly appreciate the lifestyle and am glad it is still taken seriously. Soulful. Thankyou gentlemen 🙏🏻
