Father the Flame: Directed by Chad Terpstra. With Frank Burla, Karin Domenico, Pippo Domenico, Romeo Domenico. For centuries, the tobacco pipe has been a symbol of contentment and contemplation. Through the window of this transcendental artifact and its sacred origins, Father the Flame is a cinematic exploration of legacy, family and love.

“There was a lot of talk about this documentary in the pipe community, especially if it will ever be released. People hoped and waited for this to be release so we can all watch it while smoking our pipes.nPersonally, I find it too melodramatic. Of course, pipe smoking IS an art, a hobby, a pleasure, a way of life, a way of expression and so much. And a lot of it depends on the pipe makers.nThe names in the movie are really heavy names, real artisans, real artists and craftsmen. But I believe the documentary was way too exaggerated when it came to certain subjects. We waited for this documentary for a long time. Some fellow pipe smokers liked it, some didnu0026#39;t, but Iu0026#39;m pretty sure we all expected more from this.nHonestly, Iu0026#39;ve seen small documentaries about pipe tobacco blending that were better than this one. Maybe weu0026#39;ll get a full length documentary on pipe tobacco blending as well. 🙂 Hopefully.”
