Pipes Magazine Radio Show Episode 636

Welcome to The Pipes Magazine Radio Show Episode 636. Our featured interview on tonight’s show is with Barry Kane. Barry started smoking a pipe in 1961 when he was 14-years old. Back then it seemed like everybody smoked, and you could buy pipes and tobacco just about anywhere. Barry is a true old-school pipe smoker, sticking to just one blend. See if you can guess which one before listening. At the top of the show Brian will give his take on Scandinavian Tobacco Group’s purchase of Mac Baren and Sutliff Tobacco and their announcement that they will be shut down.

  • Thanks for your concise and eviscerating review of the STG fiasco.
    Your prescription for dealing with this situation is, I think, spot on.
    Barry’s story started just as mine did, 1960, at 14 years old. And his early adventures mirror those I experienced. His delightful stories of bikes and pipes and pipemen were quite entertaining.
    The good Pastor’s suggestion of Phil Keaggy’s “The Marionette” was a lovely choice.
    A nice shout-out to all those factory workers, past and present.
    Thanks for another fun show.

  • I really enjoyed this episode. I appreciated your rant/explanation of the STG situation. I’m wondering what you think the chances of their continuing to produce Amphora Virginia, my current favorite? I really enjoyed listening to Barry’s recollections. Having started pipe smoking at 16 in 1966 I can well remember those days and all the freedoms we had to smoke. Now that I think of it, I think the whole conversation depressed me when I thought about how many restrictions we currently face. Thanks a lot :). Good music too. Good show.
