It all started when he found his grandfather’s pipes, started smoking, and he already had a lathe for bowl turning, so making pipes was a natural progression.

The radio show is terrific. I have my pipe & glass of Merlot.
I’m enjoying listening to Chris myself. I have my pipe and glass of Jack Daniels. 😉
sound?
Turn your speakers on. 😉
On the rant – if the cashier is hot, I tell her I will give my number if she gives me hers. Same with email. Don’t worry Patty. It never works. 😉
Got a new Peterson 606 pot in the Donegal Rocky finish for Christmas. Love it! Also got an Invicta Briar sitter which is pretty cool as well. In the reading department, I got a copy of Weber’s Guide to Pipes and Pipe Smoking by Carl Weber I think it is and In Search of Pipe Dreams by Rick Newcombe which I have just started. I recently finished reading The Perfect Smoke by Fred Hanna which was great for a relative pipe newbie such as myself. Add to that a collection of 6 new tins of tobbaco to try and I’d say it was a fantastic Christmas for my pipe collection! Glad to hear the show is gaining in popularity as I am really enjoying the weekly shows. Keep it up!
another fun listen; just ordered some c&d good morning! i love hearing what master blenders have to say.
oh! i received a savinelli qandale #315 for Christmas. those mini church wardens are my favorite Sunday pipe!
I’ve really been enjoying the show. I’d love to make a few guest suggestions, how can I reach Brian?
I’ll email you Al.
Another good show. Good discussion of grains on pipes.
Nice tribute to Bill Unger. We would have loved to have sent something to his final service but we couldn’t get that information.
Hey Brian: Let’s Party! 2013 Pipe-Style-via Pipe-Radio …
Interesting info. about the different types of pipe grains & finishing styles, etc. Perhaps C & D should be added to the hand blended New Year line up.
Nice Show!
