So, I am sitting here watching "Agatha Christie's Miss Marple" on netflix while enjoying some 3 cherry in my Savinelli Gandalf. I got to thinking... while watching a movie what blends and pipes do you all enjoy?
Films and pipes...

I smoke outdoors, on the back deck, so I don't get to do both at the same time. However, if I did smoke while watching the LOTR trilogy or my favorite John Wayne movie, I'm sure I would be smoking some Wilshire or another tobacco with a pleasing room note.
By the way, Wilshire is the same as Lane 1Q, in most cases. I get it from my local baccy shop. I love to support my local shop all I can.
Unfortunately My Barracks doesn't allow smoking in the rooms. Otherwise I would probably be as diverse as my usual smoking habits.
Watching a movie doesn't influence my choice of tobacco or pipe at all, but I must say that
any version of old Sherlock Holmes mysteries makes the experience better.
With the holiday season approaching, I hasten to add that all the Christmas themed movies
work for me in the same way.

Dead on Buck.... me too.
However: for some reason I have to smoke Sasieni Balkan when I watch John Wayne's Back To Batan.
Sands of Iwo Jima, one of my favorite "Sunday after Church" movies. Also, El Dorado and Rio Bravo. Gotta love the Duke. Of course, The Outlaw Josie Wales is a fine one also.
I watch them at least once a week. If you don't have Back to Batan.... you gotta get it. I think it's his best of the war movies. I found it among the $1 movies at Wally World. That's also a great source for finding those old Sherlock Holmes episodes and movies.
The movie doesn't affect what type of pipe or tobacco I smoke. I just choose something that I want to smoke at the time.
On a side note: I also love El Dorado and Rio Bravo. It is kind of funny because I normally detest movies that are made from the same exact story line as other movies, but for some reason, I love these two movies even though they have the same exact plot and story line.

The main event in each movie are almost exactly the same, I grant you.
But their are significantly different applications of those common themes.
Man looses everything, then gets his hat, then his horse, his guns, then respect.
Wait.... that's Silverado.

My wife and I were watching Slingblade the other night. The movie was filmed in Benton, Ar, just 2 miles down the road. I never noticed, before now, that Karl's friend and director of the "nervous" hospital smokes a pipe throughout the movie. He is in several scenes smoking a straight pipe, not sure of make but it looks nice. The characters' name is Jerry Woolridge, played by James Hampton. The movie is one of our favorites.
I enjoy watching movies on Netflix in my garage while smoking. Very relaxing. I am currently watching a movie right now actually.
