Welcome to The Pipes Magazine Radio Show Episode 410! Our featured interview tonight will be an extended version of “Ask the Pipe Maker” with Jeff Gracik, of J. Alan Pipes. Jeff is a well-known, expert, artisan pipe maker. He has been making pipes for over 16-years. He can make any of the classic shapes, but concentrates more on the freehand Danish style pipes. At the top of the show, for our pipe parts segment, Brian will refer back to the Seven Questions for Seven Experts, and give you what his answers are on two questions: “What is your preferred method of flame?”, and “Do you notice a cooler smoke with a pipe with a longer shank?” Sit back, relax with your pipe, and enjoy The Pipes Magazine Radio Show!

Jeff Gracik Interview
This was a very good show. One them I agree with Jeff on is the drilling of the bowl. The last thing you want in a pipe is a Vee shaped bowl. You get one and you will get nothing but heat.
The music was pleasant and light years better than your previous show’s.
