- A compilation of all the pipe-smoking scenes in the extended Lord of the Rings Trilogy. If you like this, I might go over other movies as well. Leave a Like and comment.
This is a re-upload, as I managed to forget a scene in the original video.
Pipe smoking....one of the most relaxing things you can do on a lazy day.
Agree!
So true.
Now it changed with vaping
@@lord-uxas no, cigarettes and cigars. Vape doesn't deserve recognition. Cause if you want a full hit tobacco, might as well go all out and get some man smoke. Marlboro red.
*Any day
Love how merry & pippin finding all that pipeweed in Isengard gives reference to one of Saruman’s many hypocrisies: where he would criticize Gandalf for his smoking habits only to take up the habit himself
Well he did not cricize the habit itself, radher the degree of indulgence. Its like there is nothing wrong with a beer on the weekend but I might commwnt if you drink a gallon every day, even tough I also enjoy it from time to time. And I myself am hoarding tobacco even tough I smoke maybe a tin per month. Its not getting any cbeaper or mor available so Im making reserves when I can😁
TommyRepulsed sounded to me like he criticized it in general, but it’s been a while🤷♂️
Well he did It for robbing It from the shire
@@TommyRepulsed You make a good point. He was being a bit excessive with it. It may well have been the primary reason he associated with hobbits. He liked that good herb they had more than the Bree stuff, or the plants found growing wild.
It also sets up the fact that he had dealings with the Shire, setting up what would be the chapter where Frodo and the other 3 Hobbits would have to retake the Shire (a scene cut from the movie, as Saruman originally dies there by his aide's hand and not at his tower)
Love the random Gimli giggles throughout
"And the smoking of pipe weed."
"HEUHHEUHHEUH!!!"
This video's editing is pure gold.
At first I ignored then I found it annoying then a little funny then I was actively laughing until I had to stop the video cause my stomach hurting
this movie is so cozy
AGREED the other 2 don't feel the same in that regard.

It's interesting to see how the pipe smoking was so much more frequent in Fellowship, in contrast to the remaining trilogy. I think it signifies how as everything in the story is coming to a point, there is so much fewer times at which the characters can rest. As the minor conflicts arise more frequently, and the major ones draw closer, nobody has time to smoke their pipe. Especially Sam and Frodo, not to mention Aragorn and Gimli, what with all the trekking and running they're all doing.
That is a very good observation 👍
Or they ran out of pipe weed, which wasn't as common outside the Shire.
In the book they actually got some time to smoke after Isengard was taken, with Pippin giving Gimli a spare pipe while he and Merry catch the three hunters up on what happened to the two Hobbits.
@@doopdoopdopdop7424 That is a very good part
That definitely makes sense. As I've become more aware of pipe smoking and Tolkien's love of it, I think it's a symbol of relaxation and the idea of home. So while it is later throughout the trilogy, it's more heavy as a Shire thing because the Shire represents home and relaxation
1:15 Gandalf is smoking while the back of his cart is filled with fireworks.
He’s a Wizard. He doesn’t want the fireworks to go off they won’t.
Thats the style

Actually I bought a LOTR pipe at Amazon, best pipe I ever smoked and Canada has a lot of good Pipe weed.
@@Videssos1 I saw those pipes because I frequently buy things from Amazon. I would have gotten one or more of those pipes, but I quit smoking in the early 1990's.
There is just a way The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings have this welcoming feel about them. A feeling that one can't help but yearn for. Maybe its a feeling for returning to a simpler way of life, or just plain simple living. But its a welcoming feeling, a warm feeling. Like the fullness of a meal.
@Colourful Darkness This makes me want to pick up the hobbit and actually read it even though I really never want to read books.
@@FadedOxide the Hobbit is totally doable. It’s much shorter than the other books and the writing style is different. It’s much more accessible. There are also some phenomenal audio books out there on account of its fame
Look into Epicureanism my friend.
You could always take up amish like living and move to amish country just remember to grow your own "pipeweed"
Yeah, the hobbit life feels like a very quiet and Chilled life, sure you probably still have some Work to do but what is just the most beautifull thing about the Hobbits is that they dont seem to have any ill will against eachother and the whole Community really is like a big friendly family, other than our Modern society where you are always pressured to be someone you arent and all people are far away from eachother and absolute selfish f*cks, the Hobbits way of living just seems to be ideal, sure they have no great luxury and are basicly in the middle ages but life is also easyer.
The only trilogy i rate 10/10
I completely agree, and I would say it is the best adaptation aswell knowing what to leave and what to cut.
I’d rate the dark knight trilogy 10/10 personally.
Same with both Star Wars trilogies, not the newer one
and Godfather
I rate it 4/20.
Alright then, keep your secrets.
I got named "a disturber of the peace" too, but when I got to crown court, they found no evidence. The police never turned up, and neither did my own solicitor!
Oh and the secret I will tell you now, although few will read it, or, believe it... They crucified Judas, instead of Jesus. So, he never died for anyones' sins. (they all look the same to us anyway)

11:03 I _love_ this little detail. This is the only time we see Gandalf, a veteran smoker, coughing. He's coughing because he's been smoking a lot because he's stressed out, and smoking his pipe relaxes him. That's so bloody cute for some reason.
Yes!
Huh, I always thought it was because of his new body not being used to smoking.
Nice little detail
He's coughing coz it's good shit
I used to smoke a pipe when I served overseas in the Army. My Old RSM (a Yorkshireman) once told me, "you can always trust a pipe smoker"
Why did you quit
Exactly right...
Bc it's the internet, I was really, really tempted to post, "The man who abused me smoked pipe. You need to apologize."
I think I understand why dudes especially love LOTR so much; its just a bunch of bros adventuring, bantering, and vanquished evil.
I think there are plenty of girls who get lost in the fantasy adventure just as well as dudes 😁
And don't forget the salted pork and longbottom leaf lol
@@TommyRepulsed no doubt, but in my experience LOTR is something dudes are much more attracted too
@@davidrausch7941 times change my man. When I was a teen, getting a girl to go see a spiderman movie would be pretty difficult, yet on the no way home screening I went to I felt like the majority of viewers were 15YO girls so maybe you'd be surprised about the popularity of fantasy movies as well 😁
@@TommyRepulsed idk I cant cite anything except thr interestd of my female friends in saying that it seems to be a guy thing. Not the best sample population
Just goes to show how excellent of a series it is that I often got wrapped up in it and forgot it was merely a compilation of pipe smoking.
You mean the trilogy, or my video? 😂
11:10 love how Gandalf just starts coughing up a storm while being mad at merry 🤣 and yet merry brings him water afterwards.
He’s mad at Pippin, not merry.
Guard of the citadel pfff 😂🤣😂 my favorite part 😂🤣😂
FANTASTIC! Until you put it together I really didn't realize how much pipes were a part of the LOTR series. Nice job, Tommy! And thanks for posting.
I'm literally working on an Epic Fantasy type book and in mind so far i have the gods smoking weed having three ways and getting into Petty disagreements
@@TrollHiddenCave sounds about right for most ancient gods
@@GhostCabinet lol makes me think of the Trojan war XD
Never realized how much pipe smoking was going on in LOTR Trilogy
That because it’s spaced out and they are some pretty long movies.
Re-reading tolkien as an adult made me take up pipe smoking. I love just sitting on my porch in the winter and just slowing down doing nothing as I just stop for an hour or so and enjoy it.
This is the way
Tolkien really out here giving people tobacco addictions, what a wise man.
@@vorpalweapon4814We all have a vice of some kind. If it helps the fella relax and he keeps the smoke away from kids, let him at it.
A pint of your favorite beer. Your favorite pipe and blend. A good book. That’s living, my friends.
He twitching because he got mah axe EMBEDDED IN HIS NERVOUS SYSTEM
I can’t imagine not being able to grow up in these movies like I did, the ring wraiths looking for Frodo was traumatizing
The fellowship trilogy got me through the toughest years of my life.. I can't imagine a world without LoTR.. even to this day whenever I'm down or under the weather I know exactly what I'm gonna watch to help me feel better.
11:17 Gandalf ain't slick tryna cover that laugh 😅😅😅
finally got hands on some high grade
Bro, seeing all the group scenes is making miss the boys 😔
I don't smoke myself, but Tolkien enjoyed doing so. I'm glad that Peter Jackson didn't play politically correct and purge it from his trilogy. It's a part of the tale and should remain.
Well, it's a 20YO movie 😂
I'm glad the Hobbit also has pipesmokimg in it, but as I was making a similar compilation I noticed that Martin Freeman was fake piping (pipe in mouth, never exhales any smoke) so I've seen no point in making the video...
@@nonick969 while I'm no fan of the current political correctness and wokeness, I don't think that was the intention. Remember that in LOTR you have the Aragorn-Arwen romance and it being interracial has no political subtext in my opinion.
@@TommyRepulsed
Besides, it is ultimately the actor’s choice to actually smoke or not, isn’t it. Perhaps Freeman simply exercised his good right to not actually smoke. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@-----REDACTED----- Excellent actors are willing to sacrifice much more than a few puffs of smoke (worth a walk in london during rushhour) to bring a character to life. Sure it is his right to protect his health but no-one forced him to take the role, nudity, losing-gaining weight, going trough drama amongst other things. While I think Martin Freemans portrail of Bilbo is one of the better parts of the hobbit trilogy, I feel like pipesmoking is a part of the character and should have been present onscreen more then the compulsory first scene. I don´t recall seeing Bilbo with a pipe ever again in the whole trilogy unless it was old Bilbo at the very end, a different actor. I do not disagree with you, I just don´t like the choice they made.
@@TommyRepulsed
Hmm…that also makes sense.
Ultimately we probably won’t ever know which factors played a role in that decision.
I always lose it when Gimli's like "YOU YOUNG RASCALS"
Salted pork???
I've actually acquired the habbit for pipesmoking from LoTR and The Hobbit.
DAMN YOU, TOLKIEN!
Ha, same!😂
Love the Movies too, have the extended Edition bluray Box at home.

This is *Longbottom Leaf* - Made by the Drug Lord Neville Longbottom in the gardens of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Your comment is good, and you should feel good.
poofin that Neville OG
Believe it or not Gandalf went to school with them
Leaf of the longbottom
Lmaooo
Biblo blows a ring, Gandalfs breaks the ring with the Elven Ship (foreshadow), also in Unfinished Tales Gandalf blew 9 rings enclosed by a greater one, hinting he knew of Sarumans desire to find the ring and or emulate Sauron
Gimli knew what a "nervous system was" and called it that.
Best part is all of the Gimli laughs to break apart sections.
Now that I look at it...
Gandalf does smoke a lot.
Saruman might have had a point with it after all
Gandalf ultimately used a Balrog to light up his bong. Saruman got stabbed and chucked off the same tower he imprisoned Gandalf in. Meanwhile Gandalf told a Moth to tell Eagles to rescue him. The Eagles actually came.... Give me whatever Gandalf is smoking any day.
January third needs to become a holiday in honor of J.R.R Tolkien's birthday, for inspiring the new generations of tobbaco pipe smokers, he is one of the few keeping the hobby alive
The one weed to rule them all!
LOTR & The Hobbit made me be a pipe smoker again. I admit it
“Guard of the citadel pfff” kills me every time, the belittling from Gandalf to Pippin is the best humor of the saga 😂🤣😂🤣
Also anyone else notice how at the beginning of return of the king Treebeard’s eyes are bloodshot from smoking 😂🤣
There's more pipesmoking in the trilogy than all of Sauron's onscreen time.
That's the point of Tolkien's writing, after all he is the man who said "If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world" Sauron is not important, not really, give it 2 or 3 ages and he will be forgotten, but the joy everyone gets while eating a good meal? Or the one they get when they can enjoy a good pipe? That's something that no amount of ages can destroy
@@hasturthekinginyellow5003 Beautifully put
lol
@@hasturthekinginyellow5003 Sauron should had chillax and enjoy some of that halfling leaf
Who else specifically searched for this video to smoke some pipes to after rewatching the movies?
It was in my recommendation,]. Glad I noticed it so I can look it up next time I need to see this.
I did, but just to laugh at the weed comments. I don’t smoke though.
@@jorgen1990 weed is real pipe weed in this movie is fictional not the real life weed
I wonder how much pipe smoking will be in the Amazon series? I think it is supposed to be set in the second age so I don't know if pipe smoking will have been as common. I hope so, it is nice to see, especially since pipe smoking was a big part of Tolkien's writing, he didn't like to write unless he was smoking lol, probably also why many of his characters smoked is because he liked to. Also great job putting all this together!
Pipe smoking wasn't a thing until around TA 2600. So no, there won't be any pipe smoking.
Lmao imagine actually wanting to watch that
Bullshit. Hobbits smoke pipeweed likes its going extinct, Getting rid of pipeweed would be getting rid of a very important part of their culture.
No, no pipe weed. Or at least, no smoking. Pipe weed came from Numenor (which existed in second age) and was brought over to Arnor and Gondor, where it was called Sweet Galenas but was only grown for it's look and fragrance. Hobbits were the first to smoke it, but they didn't enter the picture until long after Numenor existed. I'm sure Sweet Galenas will be referenced, but that should be all.
That obviously went way way over your head.
3:48 Aaaah, true wisdom...
Fellowship of the pipe smokers lol
That should have been the video title 😁
@@TommyRepulsed Only two of them were not smokers, Legolas and Boromir, And I am not so sure about Boromir. Although he was the only one who lived so far from the holy weedland of Shire.
My pipe and occasional cigar are among the things I miss dearly. Why does it seem like everything enjoyable in life is designed to kill me?
Aragon got rhat nord look lol perfect skyrim character.
Def
Well, Viggo is half Danish.
I watch this when i smoke. It enhances it for sure. 🔥🌿
Great video! Thanks for putting it together. I recently started pipe smoking. Tolkien's work has been a great influence on my step on joining this great hobby.
Appreciate the gimli laugh every 2 minutes got me laughing every time
to be honest, it was not my idea to use it as a transition, I saw it in the lutr of teh rings parodies. If I were to do it again I´d probably rethink some ot fhe edits because based on other comments, some potheads misinterpret the intentions and I completely didn´t see that coming :D honestly this video is doing way better then I expected.
@@TommyRepulsed was a fine job sir 👌🏻
I always feel like im in the shire whenever im able to take leave and go home.
Smoking a pipe while staring into a fire deep in thought looks so therapeutic.
Thank you for putting this together, such a joy to watch while smoking my pipe. :)
Perfect timing to discover this. I’ve watched the trilogy so many times. I might just watch this from now on…
There's a small nice detail of Gimli having a clay or meerschaum pipe, as a dwarf, compared to the hobbits and humans who use wooden pipes. It also seems like hobbits, who are more carefree, are more likely to have churchwardens.
I am not entirely convinced that is is merschaum, could be just a lighter wood or coloured. But if we look for an in world ecplanation, there might be a suitable mineral the dwarves would know and mine. I actually like that thought.
Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin, Bilbo, Gandalf, Aragorn and Gimli Smoke Pipes to relaxing.
*Gandalf makes a ship with his smoke*
Showoff.
I just realized that gandalf hacked the last of the bottom leaf for himself.
They were together in Rohan, so him, Aragorn and Gimli might have gotten a share 😁
4:45 , the most satisfying part of this whole video
Agreed
Watching this made me notice a connection for the first time of Gandalf blowing a smoke ship to sail off. It is the very end of Bilbo's journey.
No... The Beginning of another journey! *coughs* Have you heard of the Undying Lands?
Well done. I thoroughly enjoyed this.
I've smoked pipe-weed before. Old Toby, the real stuff.
Me too, in a clay pipe. Yes it's a real pipeweed!
I never noticed until today that Aragorn had a whole bunch of burnt matches on his table in Bree. I also heard that Viggo insisted that Aragorn would have a small utility knife and that the sword's sheath was the logical place to put it, and that became part of his costume. I wouldn't be surprised if Viggo himself suggested the burnt matches on the table as that would be the natural state of a table where Aragorn had been smoking for hours and hours.
Love it. Great coverage.
Gimli laughing made it for me.
I feel that if this trilogy was made these days , they would cut out all the smoking bits.
:D Yes, cause "smoking is bad!"...but hey, let's put in some more war scenes!!
I often think about that for the hobbit. Seems like if they waited a couple years the hobbit trilogy would’ve been.
This type of movie cannot be released in this day and age because sooo many people would be complaining and bitching about soo many things.
Released when the world was still normal. Hateful and ignorant people were just ignored.
The replies to this comment make my soul hurt
Loved it thank you.
You can tell the author was a pipe smoker. But it fits the story line very well. I must admit on a lazy summer evening letting your mind wonder whilst slowly puffing on your favourite pipe is very relaxing with the added benefit of no pesky Orc's to spoil it.
I like the older movies because of the warmth it gives off, the real sets that they build, the beautiful landscapes and the minimum use of greenscreen.
It had a more realistic and serious feel and a heaviness too it.
I know it's been 20, but calling LOTR older movies makes me in turn feel older as well 😂
Anyone who has ever dug in a garden in England has probably found a small clay pipe at one time or another. They were buried all over the place when I was young.
cool, When I wanted my own small clay pipe (as Gandalf smoked) I had to order it from US.
You mean to tell me Legolas & Gimili accounted for less than 100 kills at Helms Deep. Seems like they’d have a huge kill count. Especially Gimili spawn camping on top of the ladders and on the bridge to the main gate
Ok,first, i dig your brain with my weapon, that is a valid kill, second, a battle with proportion of 3 do 1 is almost unwinnable, each soldier would have to kill 3 foes... they alone killed 85(sorry legolas).
Fun fact : legolas was an average elf (very good with the bow among them),
That means that a army of 800 elves can take an enemy army of 32.000 Power builded orcs (uruk-hai)

They all thought about it logically
I bought my first pipe in 1957 when I was 16 and went to the cinema to smoke it. Sadly one could not sit in the cinema watching LOTR smoking one's own pipe
Well, at least we still can enjoy it at home, but going to cinema and being able to smoke a pipe or even just riding the train in the summer and smoking in the cabin must have been nice.
Of course lots of people smoked but most smoked cigarettes. Even so there were quite a few pipe men about.@@TommyRepulsed
Very neat to see all the pipe shots. The actual story doesn't mention much pipe smoking (in the book), but I think hollywood nailed the shots where folks would be smoking. thanks for the compliations

For all the uninformed folks: they aren't smoking cannabis, but the Middle Earth version of tobacco.
This is pointless, I've argued with potheads in the past about this topic but they will just ignore every argument you give them. If they want Gandalf to smoke ganja, that is what they'll think no matter what.
I've actually deleted the most deadend argument I had here because when everything else failed the guy started calling me names...
Obviously if Tolkien said it’s tobacco it’s tobacco… but the acting at the very least implies that their “tobacco” is making them giggly and hungry. Maybe the actors were not aware they were supposed to be smoking tobacco? it’s a legitimate observation by those who are informed on the effects of smoking cannabis. The acting clearly implies cannabis effects even if the material is canonically tobacco.
Or maybe middle earth tobacco is more of a blend.

@@TommyRepulsed Maybe on set they slipped some marijuana in the hobbits' pipeweed bags :P
@@TommyRepulsed Evidence in favor of pipeweed being tobacco: Tolkien explicitly says it is.
Evidence in favor of pipeweed being marijuana: it contains the word weed which wasn't a synonym for marijuana until decades after the books were written.
Ahhhh this was gratifying
I smoked the perfect spliff while watching this.
I love the random Gimli going hur hur hur...
1:38. I love the absolute shade Gandalf throws here. Bilbo says "The finest weed in the South Farthing" and Gandalf scoffs like "bitch please."
Thank you!
The random Gimli laughs 🤣🤣🤣
LOTR, the epic that put churchwarden pipes on the map.
If I ever was to take up smoking (which I probably never will, I like my lungs) I'd definitely go with pipe smoking. It's just so much more refined looking in my eyes than a cigarette, plus you can get all the interesting flavours
I won't pretend pipesmoking is healthy or anything, but since you mention lungs specifically, are you avare that pipesmoke is not meant to be inhaled? (neither does cigarsmoke), you can do whatever you like, some surely inhale it, but usually it is just puffed.
man i was searching for a video like this for years props to you
would be nice if you could make the same video with the hobbit:)
I've started, but I've noticed too much fake piping for my taste so it seemed redundant (e.g. Martin Freeman never draws on his pipe)
@@TommyRepulsed oh ok, thank you for the answer
This is so cool.
MacQueen pipes makes some neat LOTR inspired pipes. I prefer cigars but these movies make me tempted to switch. Lol.
According to a smokingpipes.com article. Pipe smokers have a higher average IQ than Cigar smokers... Go on, join the club...
I smoke both. Pipes more in fall and winter and cigars in spring and summer.
