Your feedback will help us explore more ways to bring such projects to life.
🙏 thank you Russ :)
@@hobbitonpiper Wonderful narration and writing, astounding images. Certainly a project worthy of Tolkien's masterpiece. Cheers!
Well done. I would LOVE to learn more how these images were created.
Great video, thanks!
Wow! Excellent, indeed! Many thanks for the rich, meaningful, thoughtful, artful content. You bring much respect to the hobby, in general, but you've taken it to a powerful new level. Kudos to your partnership and your mighty achievement! Tolkien would be proud! May your happiness and success rise like smoke-rings from your pipe.
All here are kindred spirits my friend, let us rekindle our pipes!
Yes!!
Kevin, what a great story. Thank you to you and Russ for bringing that alive. Well done.
The goal was to bring it alive, so thank you for this comment!
One of the best videos you have ever done. All the reasons why I love this pipe hobby, or better yet, lifestyle, summed up in one illustrated commentary. Well done, sir.
Thank you so much, that means a lot!
Magnificent story. Definitely saving this. Thank you for sharing.❤
Wonderful! I very much appreciate that :)
Well done👌👏👏👏👏. Too windy for a pipe today, but love my pipe. Making a split pea soup for dinner, with bacon and leek and garlic and onions and potatoes and herbs, served with a pint of beer, cheers🍻🍻🍺
Good Food, Good Drink! :)
What time is supper? Yum
I really enjoyed this video. Thank you. I am a novice pipe smoker. I tries Chelsea Morning while listening to this video, sooo relaxing.
Keep the videos coming.
God bless
Thank you, will do!
How serendipitous! Just happened to be wearing my new shirt tonight, featuring the hobbits and Gandalf puffing his pipe!
That’s super cool! Good timing :)
Wonderful. Simply wonderful. Thank you for this.
You’re very welcome! :)
Kevin, what you have done here is masterful, and reminded me of the passage below from "The Two Towers":
"Half a moment!" said Pippin. Putting his hand inside the breast of his jacket he pulled out a little soft wallet on a string. "I keep a treasure or two near my skin, as precious as Rings to me. Here's one: my old wooden pipe. And here's another: an unused one. I have carried it a long way, though I don't know why. I never really expected to find any pipe-weed on the journey, when my own ran out. But now it comes in useful after all." He held up a small pipe with a wide flattened bowl, and handed it to Gimli. "Does this settle the score between us?" he said.
"Settle it!" cried Gimli. "Most noble hobbit, it leaves me deep in your debt."
WE as a pipe community are "Deep in your debt". Very well done our fellow piper.
Ah, thank you so much! A very special comment you’ve left here, makes me smile :) Thanks again!
We must also consider what the Hobbits pared with pipeweed. We know they were avid ale consumers, and many other farm products, as well as wine. I find it safe to assume their pipeweed/blends would not interfere with all that made them what they were or fabricated. Rather, pipeweed would compliment what they essentially were. Loved this video.
Absolutely. As the script states, “good food, good drink, and a good pipe amongst good company.” :)
We all appreciate your continued efforts and dedication, to benefit and improve our love of pipe smoking, Kevin. Please continue to produce comforting content such as this for the whole of YTPC, cherish and enjoy.
Will do! :) Thank you so much for the encouragement
Well done Kevin and Russ! Masterful!
Thank you so much! :)
Standing ovation!
Kudos to you and Russ. Cheers from Spain.
Thanks so much
Cheers!! :)
What a wonderful story! The illustrations are beautiful. I think Tolkien would approve.
Cheers my friend!
So glad you enjoyed it
I hope so! :)
I absolutely love The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings books. Everything from Tolkien is fantastic. They are also the reason that I got into pipe smoking and have a collection of Churchwardens.
On a side note. Peter Jackson's films are an atrocity to mankind.
Edit: love your videos. Keep up the good work
So glad you enjoyed this! The books are phenomenal
I know that Tolkien would've joined you in a bowlful, and escaped to Middle Earth together in the Shire as you shared this artful reflection on his works!
I truly hope so! :)
All I can say is wow! That was great! I was smoking some Rouxgaroux in a Mark Twain cob while watching. In my mind I kept thinking Pipeweed=Capstan Blue Flake. Excellent video fellas.
That’s exactly what I was loading up at the end! :)
Good Evening 😊 Awesome Story👌🏽 Thanks for sharing 👏🏼 Beautiful Illustration 😍 Have a wonderful weekend 🙏🏽 Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦
Thank you so much, I hope you have a great weekend!
Utterly Fantastic ! Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
An excellent distillation of the wonderful essence that our beloved brother Tolkien gave us. Well done!
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Awesome work Kevin, even though that one hobbit did seem to have 3 ankles. 😁
Russ did an amazing job using all of today’s tools available, thanks again for supporting this channel’s efforts! 🙏-Kevin
Wow, great story telling and illustrations. Another great video. Thanks a lot
Thank you very much!
That was absolutely awesome. Well written, well spoken, beautifully illustrated, and makes me feel like I need a to pack a big, lovely bowl of longbottom leaf! Well done, and much thanks to you and Russ for creating and sharing this.
-C.
Pack that big bowl and enjoy! :) Thank you!
Beautiful illustrations and narration. Thank you
Thank you too! :)
Well done, Kevin! Bravo on the reading and accompanying artwork. Perfection!
Thank you so much! :)
Wonderfully done and presented! Lovely!
Glad you liked it!
Brilliant… those illustrations are something else 😍
They really are!
Excellent! 💯🖖🏼💨
Thank you! :)
@@hobbitonpiper 💯🔥
Beautiful illustrations and video in general my friend. Enjoyed watching this smoking some Billy Budd in my good old Peterson. Kudos to you my and all of the work that went into this fine video. Be well old chap!
Thank you, it’s so nice for this to be appreciated!
Masterful! Excellent! Soothing! I want more!
Hopefully more like this again someday!
Amen
Glad you enjoyed this! :)
You’re such a humble guy. Thank you for your videos, God bless.
Blessings to you as well!
That was truely beautiful. Thank you. Enjoyed that with some Capstan Gold. :)
Awesome! That was Capstan Blue at the end! :)
That was exquisite! I felt transported to Middle Earth and enjoyed every moment! Thank you for this wonderful gem!!
Awesome, that’s what I was hoping for!
A beautiful essay and beautiful illustrations. The simple quiet moments of these books are often my favorite. Thanks for your work and thanks for sharing. Best regards!
Thank you so much!
BOOOOM! Mic drop! Great video Kevin. Thank you!
Cool! You’re welcome :)
Enjoying a bowl of Cornell and Diehls Black Frigate while listening. I need to get a LOTR themed blend in my collection
This is probably the first one to get:

@@hobbitonpiper I had that one 👍🏻, it was one of the first blends I had when I got back into the hobbyist, I enjoyed it! Any non-aromatic suggestions?

Magnificent!
Thank you!!
Wonderful video and magnificent illustrations!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks so much!
Absolutely fabulous video! You are a fantastic narrator. What a fantastic piece the two of you created with this.
I’m so happy to hear this, thank you for the encouragement and appreciation!
Awesome job to everyone who had a part in this! I very much enjoyed it 👍
Thank you!!
I love hearing someone else who experiences Tolkien the same way I do. I finished a re-read recently, wept at the Houses of Healing. They get better every time I read them.
They are so special aren’t they
This was sweetest 10 min on YT while smoking my pipe weed😊...what a lovely story💚
Awesome! And you’re in the credits! :)
New to pipe smoking. Not so new to Tolkien. Have watched several videos while learning this new hobby/lifestyle. Been a long time fan of LOTR universe from childhood and absolutely love how well you have incorporated pipe smoking and Tolkien in your videos. Thank you so much for putting in the time and effort into making these videos. They have truly helped a newbie like me begin this wonderful journey.
You’re very welcome, it’s a rewarding journey!
What a beautiful Video! Great! 👍🏻🍂🔥💨 Best wishes from Germany! Have a nice sunday!
Markus 🙋🏼♂️
Thank you! You too!
Nicely done Kevin and Russ!
Thank you! :)
This was lovely. Thank you. My two boys and i sat entranced.
Great stuff
This is great to hear!
Man this was unexpected, brilliant and awesome!! I'm about half way through the LOTR for the third time in 61 years :) Thank you
Awesome, it’s a wonderful read every time!
That was a very enjoyable video, definitely reminiscent of smoking a pipe with the relaxation. The calminest dad pipe smoking brings at least to me
I’m glad you enjoyed this!
Excellent video to play again on Tolkien reading day or Pipe smoking day or even when you just want to mentally travel and relax! Thank you!
Yes, I hope so! :)
Kevin this was absolutely incredible.
So glad you loved it! Thank you :)
Just brilliant! Fantastic art and great reading. Now we just need other characters and their pipe smoking as well! Loved this video immensely
I’m so glad you loved it!
Wow wow wow!!! That was very well done! Really enjoyed as I puff on my favorite pipe
Thank you! So glad you were able to enjoy a pipe with this :)
Fantastic! 👏👏👏
Many thanks!
Wonderful. Watch and repeat. Thanks so much. Happy smokes. 🙂
Awesome, enjoy!! :)
Awesome! Dare I say this is your best video yet? What a great ending to a busy and stressful week, watching this while tending to my Boswell Northwoods pipe weed in a Rossi Sera 8320 KS. Bravo!
Thank you so much, I’m glad it was a great ending to your week, and start of your weekend! :)
Simply stated, OUTSTANDING!!!!!! Ron
Thank you so much, Ron!
That was amazing Kevin, extremely well done, and I can already tell this will be a video I return to time and time again. The illustrations are wonderful, he is very talented, I especially like the one with the smoke in the form of a dragon.
So cool! Many stories were told over a good pipe :)
Do you think you will do more video's like this one. I think the world would be a better place if we approached life as the shire folk.
Awesome I’ve been enjoying a pipe while I’m rereading the simarillion lol 😊 so this looks it’s gonna be a nice series
Nice, enjoy your pipe and books!
👏🏻👏🏻 Thank you, Kevin, what a great tribute and message you bring to the YTPC. Relax and enjoy the day. You Sir are a jewel in the YTPC. 💨💨
Well thank you so much for these kind words of encouragement, Bob, I sincerely appreciate it!
You need to show this to our Government in the UK, but they don't really care for "stitching a community together". Thanks Kevin
Hopefully it gets better!
That’s awesome !
Good deal!! :) So glad you enjoyed it
Beautiful .
Thank you! :)
Kevin! That was awesome. I watched your video during my lunch break, while smoking my pipe. I often take a short drive on lunch, in an attempt to find a quiet place to enjoy my pipe for only a few moments. I found my spot today, and really enjoyed your video. I think that I might have to actually read/listen to the LOTR books now. I enjoyed he videos with my family as ththey came out, but now I think that I should read the books. Thanks so much for the relaxation and inspiration, my friend! God bless:)
You really should read The Hobbit and LOTR, it’s well worth the time, especially for a pipe smoker! :)
Well done guys, this was great! I really enjoyed the story and illustrations. Thanks for sharing.
I’m happy you enjoyed! Thank you :)
This was such wonderful video and it perfectly captured not only what pipe smoking means to me, but a crucial reason as to why I am so fond of Hobbits and their culture. Plus, some of this art would look nice in my smoking lounge. Thanks, Kevin.
You’re very welcome! Yes, hobbits had it figured out :)
Well written and beautifully illustrated. This should be shown on TV !!❤❤
Thank you so much for this kind feedback! :)
I am a HUGE fan of Tolkien and all of his works. This was soooo cool.I greatly appreciate your work bringing this together. I enjoyed this!
That means a lot coming from someone who is a huge fan of all Tolkien’s works. Thank you!!
Hobbiton Kevin and Russ you all knocked this out of the park. I've watched this a few times already.
Awesome, thank you!
That was awesome!!! Thank you!!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
You are so welcome!
Great video and relaxing. I will be watching this several times to remind me to relax in this world. Thank you for making this video, and thank you, Mr. Russ Hicksfor your artwork.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Kevin's a great narrator. I plan to coax him into doing more readings in the future.
Yes, let’s all find time to relax more often! :)
@@hobbitonpiper I am doing that right now with a pipe I built from the woods on my property.
Loved this! The images, music and your reading of the essay just drew me in.
This is great to hear, thank you! :)
Kevin, I think that this is one of the best videos that I have ever enjoyed, and I mean that. Thank you. Ed
