A pint and a pipe! 

Algorithm threw this at me. You, sir, are everything that is right with England.

There is hope, an English gentleman puffing on a pie whilst drinking a pint and reading from a book getting over 100k views. Thank you.

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! :)

The crazy thing is this guy is 31 years old

A rare treat to be welcomed into a hobbit hole!

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

I have no clue what is going on and why this was recommended but I'm here and I'm listening ... this is strangely calming

Pipes, books, god and elegant wisdom; couldnt ask for more, Malcolm!

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 discovered your channel. It’s a comfort in these modern, hectic and selfish times. Thank you.

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. 🙂

THIS LEGEND MUST BE PROTECTED AT ALL COSTS!!

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

Well met good Sir! The world desperately needs more like you. Humanity is losing it's soul...

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.

nothing beats a Pint and Pipe and Prose...stories for your mind and smoke for your nose.

As an Australian I'm envious that you guys have such old buildings

Came across this video while also smoking a Sherlock Holmes, Peterson pipe. The Strand. Winding down from a hard day. Very cozy video.

Pipes, pint, and pensiveness. Pure gold.

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.

Everyone must watch this man’s videos immediately. This is the best non-whispering/soft spoken ASMR video I’ve ever experienced

Dr. Zaius Dr. Zaius I love this. Books, pipes and a beverage, tweed coat. 😍

Thank you RU-vid algorithm. I needed this so much! Cheers!

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! 🥃💨💨💨

Always a pleasure to virtually visit this gentleman in his cozy study... Much Love from Brooklyn, NYC! ❤

Malcolm you have become one of my favorite content creators.

Very relaxing to watch this video while having a beer. Happy to find this channel

a pure, beautiful soul. never stop being you sir.

One of the most cultured members of the RU-vid Pipesmoking Community right here.

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!

Delightful, as always. Now, I'm on the hunt for histories of Inns in Canada...and craving a cigar and a stout.

My first Peterson came in a few weeks ago and I love it. It's the Sherlock Holmes Rusticated Original.

Ce monsieur est passionnant je pourrait l'écouter toute la journer, salutation de belgique

That's how I've imagine what Santa is doing at the rest of the year ❤🎅🏻 no offence if so 🤗

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.

This is brilliant, I've not seen Bill Oddy for ages.

This is quite possibly one of the best youtube pipe channels ever!! God bless you good sir!

That scene reminds me of my Grandpa's personal den with wall to wall bookshelves gathering that old book fragrance.

Without a doubt the most enthralling videos I’ve ever seen on RU-vid … absolute masterpieces.

Beautiful Video. I used to love a tin of MacBaren's Virgina Flake. Find it really hard to buy anywhere now!

Nice. This is nice. Soothing. I love books too. What a beautiful room, indeed. Thank You. Cheers!

A most enjoyable first encounter of your channel. Very calming. Thank you

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.

Oh what a comfort this all is in uncertain times, gentle sanity. Thank you.

OMG! You can't get more British than this! Wonderful presentation, sir. Bravo!

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.

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 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.

I've just found this Channel He is the kind of guy I miss hanging around in my mind Much love be upon you Peace and light Be upon us all

You earned a like just on the Title Alone ! Enjoy a pint and a pipe, the world would be a better place if more people did ! :-) Cheers !

My Dad's choice of pipe tobacco was Walnut Plug. It was what we children saved pennies for and gave him for Christmas every year. Good memories stirred - thank you.

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.

A pint and a pipe is so great.I have a few old pipes and and want to give them a go.

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 😊

Reminds me of chats by the late MATCHES 860...not a pipe smoker, but a joy listening to the stories.

M Father was Scottish and he smoked a pipe. Brings back wonderful memories of him. I can almost smell it. Comforting

My friend worked in Peterson's Shop on Grafton street in the heart of Dublin. Lovely place to visit. Great channel!

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

A pint and a pipe. 2 of my fave things. Great channel, my friend and cousin across the pond!

Malcolm, you’re absolutely what’s needed now. Calm, friendly, and welcoming. Inspiring me to pull out my old pipe. Cheers!

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!

What a tranquil & delightful video. Thank you so much!

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

God I've love to hear to read for audio books. You have a lovely voice.

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.🤗

Somehow, this is both exhilarating and relaxing at the same time.

"...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!

Excellent ale choice! Lovely listening to you. Thank you.

For most of my life I've been reading again and again C. S. Lewis's Out of the Silent Planet. It's 16 readings so far. Ransom only just reaches Thulcandra, our world, after a sojourn on Malacandra (Mars). It's night and he walks through dark country till he approaches a village. He smells the beer of an inn. Ransom enters. "A pint of bitter, please," he says. His first words back on Earth. I have long wished I knew what beers available to me would be closest to the beverage that was drawn for Ransom on that wet night. What I imagine is that it was something like an India Pale Ale -- something nice and hoppy, like Sierra Nevada "Torpedo." But I don't know exactly. Suggestions would be welcome, especially in case anyone's had a good glass of bitter in England and then found something available in the States that was close.

A chance and lucky find…. I came across your channel one evening whilst venturing down the RU-vid 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 😊

Hi sir, thank you for the wonderful content, we had a beautiful pub in Cardiff, poet s corner, the best pub in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 , I think you would of enjoyed a pint and pipe there , peace and blessings to you sir....

I stumbled across this channel and was delighted and comforted by its content, I’m now a subscriber. Thank you, sir.

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.

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 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.

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!

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.

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!

i must stop watching your videos as i'm buying too many books.

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

We have a local church St Mary the Virgin North Shoebury which is 750 years old. They built the Asda superstore right next to it. The church is now affectionately known locally as St Mary-by-Asda. My husband's grandfather was a village blacksmith on the Yorkshire Wolds. He was a regular Sunday worshipper. Walking back from parish church to forge after service he would always stop for a pint in the Middleton Arms. When challenged by his Methodist wife he would always claim he was 'thirsting after righteousness'

British Pathe' video "The Oldest Inn" (1958) starts out at the White Hart Inn (1388) at Bletchingley, Surrey where for a "ha' penny of the ale and penny worth of smoke" you could enjoy a mulled ale with grated nutmeg on top and a clay churchwarden pipe by the open hearth (after a delicious plate of jugged hare (also cooked over the fire in a 180 year old pressure cooker built for that purpose!)). I hope that place is still open and not did not become an Aldi's.

I’ve just found you Sir. You are a rare delight and I’ve subscribed. I hope you’re well x

This was beautiful, God bless you for this channel!

I am so delighted the RU-vid algorithm added this to my feed. A true gentleman

One long, continuous, present. Beautiful! Thank you Malcolm. 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.

See Malcolm sitting there, telling form the books and smoking one of his pipes, he surely knows how to enjoy (his) live!

Today I went out to my local tobacconist and got myself some more pipe tobacco. I have a day off tomorrow and I plan to relax in my garden shed with my pipe and a nice drink! I love your channel! I hope you’re keeping well, Malcolm.

I have just discovered this channel, it is absolutely wonderful.

I love Peterson pipes! I also own a Peterson Hansom. Beautiful video! Silviu🤝👍

What a wonderful channel I have stumbled upon… full of gentleness, erudite discussion and delightful literary gems. Thank you so much.

I love you so much. Thanks for all your wisdom. God bless you. Light worker.

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.

That's a good drop of ale, is that. I think my personal favourite of theirs is 'Ghost Ship'. Here in North Yorkshire, I'm lucky enough to live close to both the Black Sheep and Theakston breweries. All the best to you, Malcolm. Keep doing what you do 👍🏻.

I've also rather adopted pipe-smoking as a result of Tolkien and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I've read Sherlock Holmes mysteries as a child, and The Hobbit was a favorite bedtime story of mine as a young boy. I often find myself returning to the two of them(usually with a pipe or three) in periods of great disturbance. I'm also rather fond of Peterson. My father quit smoking years ago, but quite liked Petersons. I'm lucky enough to have two. Thank goodness that the Peterson company bought all of Dunhill's old blends when they got out of the tobacco business. I am a fan of EMP and the Deluxe Navy Rolls. I also appreciate a good cherry cavendish. Excellent video, as always. Is there a possibility you might show us your pipe collection in a future video?

I love how you read books. The exuberance is motivating.

I love all your video's, but this one is my favourite! Standard Mixture is a great blend! Thank you for the clip.

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

This was perfect viewing on this cool, rainy, foggy day in Wisconsin . . . Sadly, I cannot savor my pipe because our masters here forbid it (I live in an apartment). However I just ordered the Peterson's Standard Mixture for the next time I'm in a safe zone. I love Latakia and English blends. Thank you for inviting us in.
