  • Hi Brian
    What an interesting show. While I’m too old to contemplate a career in pipes and tobaccos I can always fantasize and your report gave my fantasies substance. The interview with Len and Greg was very enjoyable. The Bing Special has always been one of my favorite shapes. I have a rather more expensive rendition by Scottie Piersal but was intrigued by the Merchant Service iteration. I enjoyed knowing that two passionate pipe guys could turn an idea into a reality. It must have been a fun pursuit. I do wish you’d asked them a little more about the actual acquisition of the Merchant service brand name. Was it just in the public domain and they plucked it out or was there more involved? I checked out their website and must admit I couldn’t resist ordering one.
    I missed the music and appreciated the rant.
    Cheers,
    Ira
