For centuries, the tobacco pipe has been a symbol of contentment and contemplation. This film explores legacy, family, and love through this artifact.

Many of us on here, that were members when they started the movie, paid to support the production of this. I then also paid to see it. It's pretty good. It doesn't have a cohesive storyline or anything, but it is very well filmed with some interesting aspects of pipes all strung together. I highly advise folks to check it out, even if us original supporters don't see any returns on our investments, ha ha.

Spend some time with one if you can. Watching a pipe made first hand, especially if it's your's, is very satisfying.

The film kind of focuses on certain aspects of their carving history. For as long as it took these guys to make this it certainly lacking any real depth. On the other it tells sort of an interesting story of the few carvers it does cover.

Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed watching it and felt especially drawn to the generational connections which it showed for us.

I also enjoyed watching it. I figure that anyone reading these words, will also!

Several of us donated money to the project and bought tobacco and pipes that had portions of the proceeds going to the production. Really didn't pay off.

I bought this as soon as it was available. Or, a fathers day gift it was I believe. I actually just re watched it last night waiting for my daughter at dance. Ive seen it 4 or 5 times now. I wish they would make more.

Thank you for making us aware of its availability on streaming.

I just finished it. I actually thought it was well made and I immensely enjoyed it. I got teary eyed at a few parts, which I did not expect.

Well, it's not driven by a narrative but I certainly think it has interconnected, intrinsically human themes that tie the film neatly together. Family, loss, love of art, the power of shared knowledge, and the beauty (and sometimes pain) of family-owned artisanal businesses that span multiple generations.

Similar for me.
Emotional buttons were pushed which resonate with some values I admire and sometimes attempt to express.

I've no understanding of the politics or financial aspects of undertaking enterprises such as this, so I'm not led or mis-lead by any of that. I'm sure there are many other individuals and entities with similarly / unique stories which I'd enjoy as well.

Not that they care, but I passed it on to several family members in an attempt to help them "feel" a little of what I feel regarding this pipe aspect of my life.

VPN.

VPN.

It’s an option for sure. The movie is on Apple so I’ve sent a message, not expecting a response but I thought I’d try. At least they know I want to watch it so maybe they will include it for Oz viewing

Thanks to the OP for posting the link. Overall an enjoyable infotainment piece. Just didn't care for all the idolatrous crap, but home cinema allows one to skip those parts.

I found it interesting that these makers are using metal lathes. Guess it IS a precise endeavour, this pipe making thing.
