Prime Minister Harold Wilson at Pipe Exhibition.
M/S of Harold Wilson lighting his pipe for photographers at a pipe exhibition. A woman gives Wilson a book for his wife called 'Poetry of Smoking'. Female commentator talks about first ever pipe exhibition in London. Shots of several antique pipes. Wilson is shown round the exhibition.
M/S of Wilson talking about what first "turned me on to pipes". He tells anecdote about sitting out negotiations with Soviet Ministers while smoking a pipe. Several shots during the speech of more pipes.
Woman interviews Wilson about pipes! She asks Wilson if he ever has the thought in his mind that pipe smokers are more virile, more exciting and more fascinating men than anybody else. He lights his pipe and says no. He talks of cartoonists seizing on his pipe to caricature him. He normally carries two pipes around with him, in case he drops one or it gets bunged up (fascinating, isn't it?). His old pipes go to charity bazaars to be raffled. Wilson helps the woman light her pipe. When asked for tips for novice smokers, Wilson says have a cigarette before you smoke a pipe, then smoke one afterwards, to wean yourself onto pipes.

this thing was an actual broadcast on television, with a presenter smoking with the PM. What a time.
What an educated Prime Minister.........long gone!
I started smoking a pipe about a year and a half ago, and I can say without any hesitation that it's one of the best hobbies I've ever taken up. It's a quiet and contemplative activity, which requires a surprising amount of skill and patience to get the most satisfaction out of. It is the perfect hobby for a gentleman.

Were you not embarrassed writing that?
Do you smoke it with your fedora on, or next to you?
Like the cool kids say, 'Let the haters hate!' While you laugh, I'll be kicked back, enjoying this amazing English-made tobacco (aged for four years) in one of in my best handmade Italian pipes. :::excuse me while I dust my shoulder off:::
Can't beat a bowl of christmas cheer or capstan with a nice dram.
What a great video a pipe smokers delight!!!.
Pipe smoking gets in your blood. It draws you in. I love it.
One of the best prime ministers.
He was the worst, by far.
There something attractive about it. It's been characterized as a calming activity; it's just the cancer aspect that turns me off.
I've been pipe smoking for awhile now, and that was my primary concern when I first started the journey. The best thing is moderation, and to enjoy the hobby at appropiate times, and of course not to make it a habbit. Also, never to inhale, and brush and rense your mouth after the fact. But at the end of the day its the safest and probably most relaxing way to enjoy the fragrance and flavor of real tobacco.
Agreed with Brandon Edwards. I've been pipe smoking for some years now and it's definitely a slow and measured sort of activity. Of course, the risk of cancer is real and it is higher for pipe smokers than anyone who doesn't smoke, but it is magnitudes less so then cigarette smoking. You would have to smoke an absurd amount of pipe tobacco with poor technique within a very short period of time to match the effects of cigarette smoking. Pipe smoking is not a fast nor a convenient form of smoking, and for that reason it requires control, discipline and some level of knowledge and technique. Most of all, it takes practice. This makes it nigh impossible to smoke it like one would cigarettes and infinitely more enjoyable in my opinion.
What a lovely man, no pretence or self importance like our ministers today. Would love to have met him
It was an act.
It was one of the most closely guarded of secrets, but Wilson much preferred cigars to pipes. He could never be seen smoking them though because he was a Labour PM and pipes were the smoke of the working class. Cigars were the smoke of the posh and Tories.
He was the master of the pipe!
No that was Tom driberg.
That a be Lee van cleef
Stanley Baldwin. Herbert Hoover. I read a book about Hoover years ago. He said that he couldn't live with out his pipe.
I believe he lived until he was 90.
Must've lost his pipe
Patrick Reynolds - I think Gerald Ford was a pipe smoker too and he made it to 93.
@@WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1 Ford had quit smoking many years before he died.
Odd watching something about a major politician where they are actually saying something useful rather then spouting complete gammon and spinach.
Apparently, preferred cigars- just not the image they portrayed. Great chap.
His son disputes this however. It was only after Harold’s death did the rumour that he never smoked a pipe start.
He probably did yet we associate a cigar with churchill and more of rule britannia generations compared to Mr Wilson who much more the beliver in Union as a pose to empire
I like both but really enjoying pipes now.
@@ryanchapman8255 Joe Haines (Wilson's Press Secretary from 1968 to 1976) said Wilson did smoke a pipe in private but also enjoyed cigars.

Wilson did not really smoke a pipe. In private he smoked cigarettes and expensive cigars.
