Dr. Alan Harrelson – Meet the Speaker

A Video for the intellectual in you!

There is now an established pipe community in the online world, far more than there was when I first tried to smoke a pipe. Thanks to the generosity and tutelage of this online community, I learned how to enjoy a pipe at a new and higher level. Building The Pipe Cottage has been a journey, and it’s far from perfect and far from over, but it is my way of trying to give back to the community that helped me learn to enjoy my pipe.

The pipe has become a significant part of my everyday routine, and as my wife can attest, a part of our home and life. At this point, I can’t imagine home without a pipe collection and the smell of pipe tobacco.

I’m attracted to reflective, cultivated people who tend to follow the beat of a different drum. People who are drawn to the pipe were probably always pipe people in the first place, they just didn’t know it yet. The pipe is an expression of a well-ordered life.
