I just lost my mother on December 16th she passed away in my home under home hospice care after several months of hospital stays rehab centers and bad nursing homes. I'm glad she got to be with us on her last days, and Christmas was her favorite holiday. Your videos bring me comfort. God bless you and your family.
Well Alan, your new found faith seems to be what you were looking for in life, as you come across as a very comfortable and contented man. All the very best!
Thank you Sir, from England. I always enjoy settling myself down in my chair and listening to you share your mind. Merry Christmas to you and your family
Looking forward to Christmas Eve night when the kids are down and the adult beverages are up. Will be trying Seattle's Plum Pudding for the occasion. All the best to you and your family this season.
Viewed this video yesterday. Was able to find a copy of The Christmas Pipe today. I can't wait for it to arrive. All good blessings to you for your sharing the joys of life and the pipe.
I have never met Richard Carlton Hacker but back in the 1970's when I was working at the local Tinderbox franchise store in Portland Oregon, Richard was working in Los Angeles for the Franchisor. He went on to be a great authority on pipe and all things related thereto. At one point he was given the honor of presenting Jeremy Brett, the actor famous for portraying Sherlock Holmes in the excellent series from the 1970s, with a beautiful Peterson Churchwarden as Brett had been honored as "pipe smoker of the year" that year. One of my favorite books by Hacker is his "Rare Smoke" which is a compilation of all the desirable estate pipes over the decades, many of which are no longer produced but sell on ebay for handsome prices, Barling, Comoy GBD, Charatan and Loewe come to mind. He has always been a great ambassador for the pipe smoking hobby.
Just watched this video today. Watching this video after Christmas was still encouraging! I love to hear your enthusiasm for your faith and the practical implications for living. Advent was a wonderful time for our family as well though I did not incorporate pipe smoking into the celebrations. Godwillingly, I will next Advent!
May I suggest henceforth that we have story time with the Pipe Cottager himself, twang and all? A blessed and Merry Christmas, good doctor, to you and yours!
Merry Christmas 🎄 Sir. I so wish I could have been smoking a pipe as I listened to you this morning as I sip on a cup of coffee before work. A wonderful reading and video. Cheers Alan.
Thank you for sharing so much. The readings are excellent and the Christmas message so on point. If my father were alive today he would appreciate listening to you. I belireve we need more of this in our world today. Thank you and have a Blessed Christmas from my family to yours.
Well sir, I myself just finished enjoying some Country Squire Rivendell out of a Peterson rusticated Christmas edition Le Strade. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Hey, I just wanted to say, I’ve been watching you for a little bit now and while I’m not a Pipe Smoker, I still find your videos interesting and well-made. Merry Christmas 🎄 and God Bless. 🙏🏻
The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us..... Merry Christmas Alan, family, and all! I recently became possessor of a 2007 tin of Christmas Cheer. I'm looking forward to cracking it open.
I absolutely love your channel and love watching it with my best friend. Great video tonight. Thank you. God bless you and your family. I’m a female but I love to smoke a pipe with my beloved Merry Christmas ♥️☦️❄️🎄♥️🙏🏻
This video brings back fond memories of MY Grandfather. On his screened in back porch during the last Christmas i visited him. And all the other timesat His place in Florida.
Many thanks sir. I always enjoy your content and the way you deliver it to us. That Book sounds like it would be a very interesting read for a number of reasons. Xmas nowadays has become nothing more than a commercial exercise that a lot of people go through with the real purpose behind it becoming lost to them. Hope to see another Video before Xmas but if not, very best wishes to you and your Family.
Fantastic video and reading. I'm watching this at the bottom of Christmas, my wife and I relaxing, watching the river, and enjoying my pipe with a bourbon. A great end to a great day, Merry Christmas and God bless.
Thank you for the good cheer. Have a happy Christmas Dr. Harrelson. May the Lord's peace rest with you and may we all be ministers of that peace in our own capacity.
Alan, I have a rosary that was given to me from a woman that was her mother's that was blessed by Pope Pius the 12th. It's one of my favorite rosaries that I have.. very simple. Not very much adorned. I wish you and your family a blessed Christmas. Thank you again for a wonderful video this afternoon. 🎄🎄💯🎁✝️✝️
It's always wonderful to get an estate pipe. I just recently picked up a 1970's Ropp Alpine pipe unsmoked. The tyrol style wrapped in red and green no less make it the perfect Christmas pipe. Merry Christmas to you and yours Alan. Many blessings going into the new year!
Merry Christmas, Alan, to you and the crew! My gosh, is this the finished smoking den you have been working on for the past several months? Looks great, and I would love to prowl through your library. About Hacker's book---You can't find one for less than $300 or so, and what with Christmas and its attendant expenses, food included, I cannot quiet my conscience enough to justify this outlay right at the moment. We'll see what 2024 brings. So again, the merriest of Christmases to you, Alex, and the offspring. And here's a little music you might enjoy: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2KNGhf6aMs4.html
Hi Alan. Really enjoyed your video, as always. But my budgie loved it! 😂 How many birds do you have in your study? Anyway. Have a merry christmas and God bless. Best wishes from Norway.
Loved the video! I am not very good with writing, but your reading from Pius the 12th hit a note with me and the Christmas Season. As you were lighting up your pipe, I lit my Everyman Bulldog pipe with some Half and Half. Contemplation is now in full force about the Creator in the Creation!! Have a Blessed Christmas,
I have not finished the video and am only in the introduction, but I wanted to say that I love your new study. I can only hope that I could one day too have one of my own as great as yours.
Awesome video as always Mr. Allen. Man what a beautiful pipe that one is! One day I'll hopefully be able to get a nice'en like that one. Merry Christmas to you and Alex and your young'ens!
We can use a new Pope - Francis doesn’t help those lost by misleading them with his affirmative “blessing” that has no authority or basis in Christianity; it’s actually heresy. Merry Christmas 🎄 and thanks for your enjoyable videos.
Hello Alan from Italy! It's funny: I actually live just a few miles from the Ardor shop near Varese and I pass in front of it quite often. It's curious to see a pipe produced there traveling all the way to Kentucky. Merry Christmas to you and your familiy, Davide
Beautiful pipe with lovely tobacco. Outstanding book readings. Thank you Dr. Harrelson. What are your thoughts on Pope Francis blessing same sex marriages? Thank you sir.
Hello Alan quitted smoking cigarrete several years ago and seriously considering on getting into pipe smoking. Any suggestions on tobacco blendings or types. Thanx
I started with a cheap corn cob pipe from K-Mart at age 15. I graduated to Preben Holm pipes in 1980. Those pipes are no longer made, however they can be found on E-Bay. I like the looks of the Nording Freehand pipes. I have purchased 2 Chinese made pipes, and I will never buy another Chinese pipe.
20 years ago my first pipe as a Peterson System pipe with a p lip for just under $100, maybe just over $100 with shipping. I think this is a great pipe and a good beginner pipe that I still smoke today. You can also try a couple corn cobs as well.
Missouri Meerschaum corn cob pipe, it smokes smooth and it's easy to keep cool. Made in USA since 1869! It was my first pipe and I still use it to this day
