Welcome to The Pipes Magazine Radio Show Episode 476! Our featured interview tonight is with novice pipe smoker Andrew Knapp. Andrew grew up in such a remote part of Idaho that he had to travel 86 miles just to buy groceries. Perhaps he was making up for that by later traveling to Cairo, Istanbul, Aleppo, Damascus, Amman and all over northern Europe. He currently resides in Washington D.C. and has degrees in Philosophy in Politics, and in Politics. This episode is another installment in our series of novice pipe smokers (those with 3-5 years of pipe smoking experience) that we pose seven questions to. At the top of the show, Brian will catch up on a backlog from the mailbag which occurred during his three weeks of travel. (We will have the regular mailbag segment as well.) Sit back, relax with your pipe, and enjoy The Pipes Magazine Radio Show!
Welcome to The Pipes Magazine Radio Show Episode 475! Our featured interview tonight is with Jeremy Reeves. Jeremy is the Head Blender at Cornell & Diehl, which is one of the most popular boutique pipe tobacco companies in the USA. Jeremy has been a pipe smoker for over a decade and is passionate about pipes, pipe tobacco, and blending tobacco. He will be talking about the launch of Small Batch Carolina Red Flake with Perique. It launches tonight at midnight! (Eastern US time) At the top of the show Brian will go over an article with evidence of tobacco use from over 12,000 years ago. There’s lots of tobacco talk with Jeremy, plus the article at the top of the show makes for a tobacco packed hour. Sit back, relax with your pipe, and enjoy The Pipes Magazine Radio Show!
Welcome to The Pipes Magazine Radio Show Episode 474! Our featured interview tonight is with “pipe making hobbyist”, Murph. Even though he won a pipe carving contest back in the ’80’s, he says, “I am not a ‘pipe maker.’ I am a pipe making hobbyist. I don’t make a business or vocation with my pipes. I create them as an avocation because I have the time, enjoy the creative process and love the gratification of completing something beautiful, unique and useful.” However, you can buy his pipes. At the top of the show, Brian will report on his nearly three-week trip and cruise through Greece, Italy and Croatia. Sit back, relax with your pipe, and enjoy The Pipes Magazine Radio Show!
Between computer failures requiring the replacement of hardware, accompanied by the expected concomitant grumbling, combined with an attack on my otherwise healthy body by a virus of unknown origin, I’ve spent the last several days being, shall we just say, grouchy. Now that the computer problems are mostly behind me, and my own hardware is back to functioning more or less normally, I figured I’d soothe my mood with a nice bowl of something delicious while sitting down to tap out this month’s column. It seemed like a good idea at the time.
The last breath of summer sun stretched out long over the James river in Richmond Virginia, collecting in little pools that reflected a golden glint to the travelers on Manchester bridge above. It was the first day of October and the red bricked sidewalks of the old district drank in the day’s radiance until they were full and warm under foot. A light breeze tangled in the dresses of young ladies who had taken advantage of a late breaking Autumn to display a bare shoulder or a low cut back; their perfumed hair alight on the wind like a bough of scented flowers. Growing season in the Old Belt Tobacco region this year was especially hot and dry. Light rains, earlier in the week, were a welcome blessing as farmers of the Old Belt gathered their second cut harvest.
Welcome to The Pipes Magazine Radio Show Episode 473! Our featured interview tonight is with novice pipe smoker Misha Zigas. Misha is from upstate NY and has a BA in Actuarial Science from Binghamton University. He currently resides in Atlanta and is an Account Executive at Gainsight. He started with cigars, and then got into pipes. This episode is another installment in our series of novice pipe smokers (those with 3-5 years of pipe smoking experience) that we pose seven questions to. At the top of the show, we will have an “Ask the Pipemaker” segment with pipe artisan, Jeff Gracik. Sit back, relax with your pipe, and enjoy The Pipes Magazine Radio Show!
Hi Brian,
The ICPCR show has to be heaven for a pipe smoker. I’m glad you got the room that you wanted. It is a good question if internet has superseded trade shows. To me, it will always be the RTDA show.
Tom Palmer, as owner and directing manager, has done a great job at Peterson. I am not a fan of the system pipe nor the P-lip. I have several Peterson pipes in my collection, all with fishtail stems. They are mainly from the Sherlock Holmes series.
Music – William C. Green, “New Orleans” – “a quarter for gasoline” will not get you very far today. It must be an older song.
Rant – What can I say, I agree.
Good Show,
Tom Palmer is such a nice man and obviously a competent entrepreneur since Peterson is going as strong as ever. I can attest to the veracity of the story about the man with the Peterson logo tattoed on his calf because I was there. I wrote about this in “In Search of Pipe Dreams” (P. 149) Brian did a great job interviewing Tom, as always, and now I am going to sit back, relax and smoke a P-lip Sherlock Holmes pipe, which I find a wonderful change of pace periodically.
Another great show. It is possible that the IPCPR’s glory days are in the rear view mirror. It is something that is coming to all trade shows.
Loved the Tom Palmer interview. He just comes across as a man of integrity with deep roots to Ireland. My great-grandparents came to America from the Old Sod. Apparently Peterson offers some rather high end pipes that are very well thought of amongst aficionados.
Music was okay.
Exercising is a good thing and if you can figure out a way to walk and smoke a pipe good on you. I can’t do that so I would have to take a decent cigar. Sadly it may not be long before you can’t smoke outside except on your own property.
This episode was particularly good – Peterson are an iconic brand and I loved the inisights into the company. I’m glad Peterson are still going strong and long may they continue to do so.
