Lee's a great down to earth guy, got to meet him through Bruce Weaver.
Hey embers, a noob would really enjoy it as I did, but you ole codgers meh......
Waited eight years for it being told it was coming out that year. Poured five grand into donations, licensed tobacco, and pipes and just found the overall production a letdown. The format seemed unbalanced. If it followed a formula like GENERAL ORDERS NO.9, it may have held my attention better.
Forty-six is an ole codger?
I watched it about a year ago and I enjoyed it. Like many documentaries/movies once is enough.
I'm referring to pipe smoking codger, how long you been smoking a pipe @chasingembers , your young in physical years!
Twenty-nine years, started in the summer of '91.
Heh, so did I. Was my "Freshman" year at university, as the Americans say.
how much did they spend on the movie? Any idea? I can't imagine it had much budget for a movie at least.
never watched it myself. Then again it seems kind of interesting until compared to all the other options out there.
Just watched it for the first time in its completed version and I really enjoyed it. Even spotted myself as an extra in the background which was kind of fun. Watching Father the Flame and being more active in the pipe forums has rekindled my passion for making pipes a bit. I'm looking forward to getting my workshop put back together at the new house and tinkering around again.
Kinda of a "Ken Burns Does Pipes". Smoking a pipe since '66 so, I'm in the "meh" part of the audience I guess. I suspect I was expecting something less about carvers and more about the evolution of pipe smoking. Anyway, I was disappointed after all the years of waiting and the initial hype.
I guess spending so much time around several pipe carvers, and making them myself desensitized me to it.
As someone in the brewing industry, it definitely makes sense to me that you would become so jaded. After ten years of commercial brewing and about seven of being production management, you fight every day for that "new spark". I'd also probably be pulling my hair out regardless if I were to donate so much to the cause. I still thought it romanticized pipe making and the enjoyment of the leaf the way I first felt when lighting up, so I'll agree with the fact that it is perfect to aid people in forming that deep ritualistic love we share for the culture as a whole. Maybe I'm just completely wrong, so whatever.
See, I can't even see it as that. I'm just a smoker. Load the pipe, light it, and go. Until I found online forums for it, I had never even heard of such a thing.
