A rare Peterson pipe and a fine passage of Tolkien

I haven't smelled a pipe in ages! My great-grandfather smoked a pipe and I vividly recall the wonderful smell and sound of him puffing at the pipe when I was a little girl. I would sit at his feet and watch with interest. An old coal miner from Wyoming who worked too hard for way too little, he didn't say much to us kids, but simply smiled and puffed away. Truly, it's a practice I wish was more prevalent here in the U.S. - we all could use a bit of slowing down to sit, puff, think, and read.

As a female pipe smoker who hasn't had the joy of puffing for a couple of weeks (thanks to a wisdom tooth removal) - this video has been a pleasure to view today! Tonight, at last, I'll spend this evening with my Peterson. Not quite as cool as Malcolm's Peterson pipe mind you! - Your videos are always a joy to view Malcolm, Cheers to the pleasures of smoke & stories 📚

It’s a nostalgic feeling for a video to start and to be welcomed into the host’s study for a conversation. I’d like to thank you for rekindling my love for Tolkien, a love for me that started only a handful of years ago during my college years. I will think of you during my first ever reread!

I live in a small town nestled within the upward sweeping valleys of The Cascade Mountains, and squirrel away many fine tobacco blends alongside my personal pipes... to find solace in the long, wet winter nights. I try my hand at music, and as well, poetry - so finding Malcom is very much like discovering a ready-made friend (be it on the other side of our Earth). My first pipe was purchased at age 18 while reading TLOTR in 1972 ... truly inspired, as so many have confessed throughout the years! I raise a toast to you, dear Malcolm; may the fruit of The Holy Spirit hang heavy on your "boughs" and God's wisdom liberally pour into and through your ready heart!

One of my favorite passages in the trilogy, thank you! Being inspired by your videos to give poetry another go, I went to the library and borrowed books of Donne and Keats. I'm still struggling with Keats, but Donne is making some sense. Nearby on the shelf was Tolkien's The Fall of Arthur. This I really enjoyed! It is unfinished, so it abruptly ends just as it gets going (like Steinbeck). But unlike Steinbeck, who had dug himself into a hole, Tolkien was warmed up and in full gear. I would love to hear you read this poem, or other Old English alliterative meter.
