Tolkien smoking

[Unlimited1Ups]

Damn, JRRT was a BOSS PIMP!

[TOCR815]

I wonder if he got half his inspiration from smoking the weed pipe there lol.

[VisionaryofMirage]

Respect for this guy, what a legacy. I half expected him to send multi-coloured smoke rings up the chimney.

[TobaccoOnFireReborn]

I love Tolkiens smoking the way he lights his pipe with such grace and style is absolutlely a joy and the look of enjoyment on his face when his pipe is finally lit and he can relax is priceless.

[8drewski]

[lambofgod661]

i love pipe weed

[TheDavid2222]

I do love pipe smoking! I wonder what his favorite pipe and tobacco was?

[MrWSherwood]

What interview or broadcast is this?

[Higgins380]

@MrWSherwood -- When I uploaded all the Tolkien videos on Youtube, the extracts came from various documentaries, J.R.R. Tolkien An Awfully Big Adventure, J.R.R.Tolkien Master of the Rings and J.R.R.T.: A Film Portrait of J.R.R. Tolkien. They are all quite difficult to find, and I think I was lucky enough at the time to get my hands on them. But since then, the BBC opened its archives. I have uploaded 'In Their Own Words: British Novelists' where most of Pr Tolkien's videos come from.

[Songsmirth]

@Higgins380 It's very kind of you to take the time and make such great effort to share these with us. I don't know much about him personally so these are a treat. I find that I don't always want to know about the author's personal lives or how they write.  I found out some months ago that a new author, to me, has a staff that handles different parts of her books. Actually writes that part and then it's approved by her and in this manner puts out book after book. Ruined my respect for her.

[juresaiyan]

Tolkien smoking a pipe is just pure badass. Only Clint Eastwood comes close.

[imtv]

The Catholic Sun

by Hilaire Belloc

Wherever the Catholic sun doth shine,

Theres laughter and dancing and good red wine. At least Ive always found it so.

Benedicamus Domino!

[langbry]

Considering the stories he made up, I wonder what's in that pipe.

[sonofherne]

That's a very glib comment, not useful, & frankly, offensive to Tolkien & any intelligent person. You don't need to take drugs to create something magical. He's a literary genius & scholar of the highest calibre.

[TheBackOfTheBoat]

@sonofherne hey don't be so quick to judge the guy. I have read Tolkien's books while high several times and every time I do I feel nothing but awe and admiration for the pure genius of the man. Cannabis allows me to fully immerse myself in the universe he created. Sure, you don't NEED weed to become immersed, but it definitely doesn't hurt. I realize that Tolkien himself (probably) didn't use cannabis, but that doesn't mean that cannabis users can't appreciate him.

[sonofherne]

@TheBackOfTheBoat It implies your imagination is lacking if you require to use drugs to get a thrill or totally immerse yourself. TBH, users deserve to be judged. It's an illegal activity, and though people will deny it & justify it until the cows come home, the negatives still far outweigh any positive useage. We're not in the stone age, sorry.

[TheBackOfTheBoat]

@sonofherne let me ask you a question that I think I already know the answer to- have you ever tried it?

[sonofherne]

@TheBackOfTheBoat Now who's being so quick with their assumptions? In answer, I grew up through the seventies. To have an opinion on anything you need to have experience otherwise it's just unqualified opinion. To be fair, I prefer pot smokers to violent abusers and drunks, but the neurological defects as well as many other seen and unseen symptoms are abundantly clear, and yet people still do it.

[TheBackOfTheBoat]

I'd argue against the existence of those "neurological defects," but you seem pretty convinced that they're there, so there's really no point. But one thing I will stand by is a person's right to make up their own mind about an activity, to weigh the pros and cons, and to make their own personal decision on whether or not to partake in it. You may have come to the conclusion that weed has more negatives than positives, but most pot smokers clearly haven't (considering that it isn't addictive).

[kman2420]

@TheBackOfTheBoat you think the books are good high try the movies or the games

[zombyte]

that's beer on the table?? Genius!

[iFuhrer]

@zombyte i would assume that its scotch whiskey.

[Usmcspartan420]

i agree with the babbling englishman(lol i had to say it). they will be hard to put to sleep these mighty writtings!

[MADdwarfWorkshop]

haha :D his facial expressions. He was such a genius.

He even looks like a character out of one of his own books! his spirit lives on through the pages of his work and the woods surrounding where he grew up, echoing back those ancient lost tales... :)

[Tingilyawen]

I could imagine his as Bilbo! :D

[inuyashamaniac1]

Haha! I loved it!

[MoonXxXprincess]
