Whilst perusing mysmokingshop online shop, I noticed they’ve put together a falcon package, in tribute to the late jack Hargreaves. If anyone is considering a falcon pipe, then you could do a lot worse than this ensemble.
For those unaware of who jack was, he was a proper old school gent who found fame late in life as a television presenter. His shows ‘How’ & ‘Town & Country’ much loved by millions of viewers, of all ages. Always smoking his falcon, he walked & talked you through the English countryside, showing how to tickle a trout or nonchalantly break a rabbits neck.
When he was was back in his garden shed, he’d show off a load of forgotten tools & gadgets from years gone by & how to make & fix things yourself, in the traditional way.
He served under general Montgomery in the war, military intelligence. One of his accomplishments was broadcasting morale boosting propaganda to the British and allied forces. The anti nazi song ‘Lilly Marlene’ which infuriated Herr Goebbels as it grew in popularity with the Germans as well, was down to him & his section.
Here’s a short ‘lighthearted’ video of jack, along with his pipe.
For proper videos of jack & his shows, there’s loads on YouTube.
