He has been making pipes for four years. In Pipe Parts, we will hear about Brian’s favorite things when it comes to accessories, such as lighters, tampers, and pipe cleaners. Sit back, relax with your pipe, and enjoy The Pipes Magazine Radio Show!

  • The interview felt a little off, but I think it is just me readjusting after so much summer series. Thanks for sharing some of your favorites. I currently carry the tamper you previously mentioned by Brigham, and am very happy to learn about the 8deco. I have apparently missed the company altogether, but I really like the idea of the ventilated tamp. The music selection was fun and different, nice change of pace.

  • I have some very good tampers but only use the standard pipe nail for actual work. And I really like my IM Corona lighter. I only use Long’s 6.5 inch pipe cleaners.
    I really liked the interview with Ron though he makes inexpensive pipes.

  • Ron made for a nice interview. Just seems like an all around good guy and who doesn’t appreciate someone that wants to make pipes that are accessible to the masses. I’ll have to give the Brigham cleaners a try. On a side note, I hope to be able to chat with you again this year at the KC pipe show, I know I enjoyed our chat last year. Pleasant smokes!
