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.
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.
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.👍🏼👍🏼
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 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 RU-vidrs. 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."
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.
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 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.
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.
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".
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'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
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.
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
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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 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.
What a refreshing, thought-provoking, and beautiful conversation between genuine gentlemen. You have blessed and encouraged the hearts of many men today.
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.
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.
