In politic$ unfortunately it is all about 💩money and power. People from the local library board to Washington want power. They think they know better than you do. 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩

Hi Tom. I would be a great idea if members of Congress were pipe smokers, especially when in session. The pipe would allow them more time to just sit puff, think and reflect. Above all while puffing on a pipe it would help them to sit quietly and puff and listen. Just a thought. Ron

👍

I wonder if the one I sent was a Tom Howard. Looks just like it. Good chat.

Good to see you Tom,hope your doing well..

I could listen to you guys for hours. Puffing my battered old Donegal Rocky 338! 🍂

As a professional “something-doer”, the talks about “nothing” is plenty of something for most these days. It has a daily impact on them whether they regard it directly or not (like “world events”) and is not commonly known or shared anymore to newer vintage generations. Thank you, sir. 🫡

@22:31-22:54 sums up my problem perfectly…Thanks for the tips, brother.

In my line of work I interact with a lot of millionaires. Love what I do but make, as you said, a fraction of what they do. Thing is, you wouldn't tell it seeing them day to day. Winter homes in other countries, own their own planes, some highly educated, others savvy and deeply discerning. And the choices we make are sometimes occurrences we're swept up in. Events directing us seemingly against what we'd assume we'd have done if we'd known more or better at the time. At the critical moment. But then the dominoes of life. Gratitude from the land of ten thousand lakes, Harv

I love how your videos start. Like you’re already in the middle of a conversation.

Just subscribed. My wife is from the US and we have interesting conversations about pronunciation of English and American words. Pembroke is pronounced 'Pembrook'. I still can't get my head around Arkansas!

Love the pipe Tom! Truck driver here and been binge listening to your videos. Thank you

Nice chat

Tom, I’m a young pipe smoker who’s currently a field engineer looking to get into surveying. Are you a professional land surveyor? I’d love to pick your brain and hear more about the day to day life if that’s your occupation. Thanks for the videos.

Good to see you sir.

I first learned about him and his channel when he did his stuff on the Whitaker Family. Lot of great stuff on his channel

That show makes you appreciate a lot in life. Or at least for me. I also have struggled with alcohol. Dec 14 marks 5 years clean and still going strong. Always appreciate your videos and thoughts. Keep up the good work and happy piping.

Thank you for being compassionate yet realistic about homelessness and th et it problems. That’s a rare, but good , humanity.

I love having a pipe and listening to you sir.

Great video always good advice. Lets hear your story why i think never married? whats your thoughts on being a single man through life. What you do to have meaning and life through what you do. I have been with my wife 25 yrs high school mates been together since teen years. But i often wonder of poeple who dont have the same story. What makes you tick what makes you keep strong and moving forward. Simple question not complicated but i see more and more of my coworkers who live the life of singleness and they seam grumpy as heck. So if asked from them of this single life i want to know something to say. Been long time viewer and love your channel

Yeah great channel swu good guy spreading the truth, why not its real and its a thing. kuddos to him and you to post your life and others. KZbin can help poeple understand poeple. So god speed on you both and may you have blessings onto this world.

I’ve been watching Mark for about four years. I watch Pete Santinelli also (made not have spelled his last name right). I have been watching your channel longer. Cheers!

I've watched several Soft White Underbelly videos and many times they're just really hard to watch. You just never know peoples background and what they've gone through. The stories can certainly help get some perspective on life when you think you're having a hard day.

Thank you for your video

Now wait a minute... Did you just insult the godfather of tobaccos, the Burley king? Let me send you a nice half-pound of Haunted Bookshop! lol Have a great weekend!

Hey Tom! Nothing wrong with holding onto tobaccos, do that as well. I even rehydrate from time to time. doing the eye drop thing myself, glaucoma. And here I thought that I coined the phrase "the woods is my church". Where I work is located in a woodsy area away from the main drag with all the wildlife around me. I just love that! Glad to see your doing well my friend!

Enjoy the topics you like to ponder, Tom. Keep them coming, please.

I have watched some very interesting and poinient episodes from that channel. Very insightful perspectives. Can be heart breaking....

Yep…everyone’s life story is sometimes not as pristine as ours…need more empathy in the world and less of the ‘take care of me first’ attitudes. Have a great weekend…enjoy the woods. 👍😀

Nice video Tom , all different topics , very interesting 👍 Nice to hear from you again 🙂 Stay safe 🙏 👍

Awesome video we have a situation up here in Nova Scotia, I have never witnessed so many people with the means to live . Our government has set up tiny houses in baseball fields to accommodate the increase.

My routine is to walk about a mile to a mile and a half, with a pipe, first thing every morning which begins anywhere from 2:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. I use a variety of circuitous routes within my suburban community, which borders the Ocala National Forest. I wear reflection gear and carry a flashlight. If I'm on the roadway and the odd car should approach, I shine the light on myself and amplify its impact for the driver. If they're watching the road, they see me. Big if. I enjoy your philosophical ruminations/considerations.

Don't tear people down help lift everyone up.

Very thought provoking, we are our brothers keepers

As someone who found himself homeless for some time, I choose to feel cautiously empathetic towards those currently suffering from that pit (which can be terribly hard to get out of).

Swu is an excellent watch. The most fascinating stories. I also enjoy your videos!

The woods are my Church. Classic quote sir.

Hello NWPipsmoker 👋

SWU is an interesting show.

I've been watching those episodes of SWU for a few years now. Very interesting, and repsectful, and eye opening. Excellent documentaries. The subjects hit home for me as an Emergency room technician. Love that pipe, and I love your channel and content. Keep em coming.

Thank you, Tom. I’d like to check out that channel- homelessness is a serious issue and however people get to that place fact is it is a miserable quality of life and I think any of us could be in that same place but for grace. I appreciate your interest in that area, it is commendable in my opinion, and though individually we can’t change the world as it were, more compassion is most welcome to be distributed more in this busted world in my opinion. The BP Jum is a beauty. I do the same thing with left over tobacco: mix it up into a surprise blend. Hope your Fall is starting out nice for you. Thanks again for the videos.

I’ve watched that channel a few times. Its pretty eye opening

Thanks for posting.

I’ve watched that channel for a while. Interesting stuff for sure. He interviews people from all walks of life.

Super grateful your video popped up in my feed brother…. I haven’t seen one of your videos in so long. Glad the algorithm put you in, now i have a whole bunch of videos to catch up on. 😊 I’ll have to check out the interview. I have a blend like 1923 its one of a kind and i try not to fall in love with any bowl from the jar because i could never repeat it. This makes me think about making a video, i just stopped because all of the YT scare and how their AI was supposed to fine monetarily a presenter if they didn’t properly mark their videos…. Keep on keeping on and take care.

Discerning decisions? Impulse control?? You do realize that your audience is full of pipe smokers? 😂😂😂

soft white underbelly is great. the merle allin interviews are my fav. and sammy the bull from cosanostra.

Good to see u Tom,hope all is well.. Thanks for the video..

SWU is too depressing for me. I have great empathy for those folks, God bless them. Got my near mint BP Jum in the mail a few weeks ago. Haven’t been able to smoke it yet but I’m looking forward to it! Nice to hear from you, Tom!

I do watch soft white underbelly, and it is shocking, the ways of some, but the most shocking is a freaking Democrat voter
