This photo shoot makes me both happy and sad. I’m happy that this is the most beautiful and elegant shoot ever done by Cynthia for Pipes Magazine. I’m sad because it may be the last. She has just graduated college and will soon be starting her career in the film industry. We even had to cancel a new shoot that was to happen at the Chicago Pipe Show as it didn’t fit Cynthia’s schedule.
The pipe Cynthia is smoking is from the Aaron Spelling Estate, and from my personal collection. It is a 1961 Root Briar in the classic Dublin shape. I vow to never clean the bit of this Dunhill again. – Kevin Godbee

My grandfather didn't smoke a pipe, but my uncle and some of my elementary school teachers did. In 1998, my neighbor Sam invited me out, and we ended up back at his place where there was a cigar humidor, and pipe rack on the coffee table. I had my first cigar, and then decided to try pipes too. I love the elegance and relaxation of smoking a pipe. In 2002, I started learning how to make websites, do SEO, and create content. I had a cigar content site and forums from 2005-2008 when it was bought out. In 2009, I launched PipesMagazine.com, which is now the largest, busiest community forums, and article content site for pipe and tobacco enthusiasts. We have one of the longest running pipe and tobacco focused podcasts since 2012 with lifetime industry veteran, Brian Levine.
