Thank you for joining us for The Pipes Magazine Radio Show—the only radio talk show for pipe smokers and collectors. We broadcast weekly, every Tuesday at 8 pm eastern USA time and are available on nearly all podcast sites and apps. Listen on your computer, tablet, phone and even in the car! Our Featured Interview tonight is with Bill Feuerbach of S. M. Frank & Co. Most people will be more familiar with their famous pipe brands of old; Kaywoodie and Yellow-bole. They started as the KBB Company in 1851 when the German-born Kaufman brothers opened a small pipe shop in the Bowery section of New York City, and the rest is history. In “Pipe Parts”, we will have some historic TV commercials for pipe tobacco from back in the good old days when advertising tobacco on TV was still legal. Sit back, relax with your pipe, and enjoy The Pipes Magazine Radio Show!
Tonight’s show is sponsored by Sutliff-Tobacco.com, CupOJoes.com, SmokingPipes.com, Missouri Meerschaum, 4noggins.com, Cornell & Diehl, and Savinelli Pipes and Tobaccos. Please give them some consideration when making your next pipe or tobacco purchase.

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!
Fall is a special time of year for those of us lucky enough to reside near forests. Here lush deciduous trees light up the mornings and evenings with color come October. For those of you in warmer climes, I hear the guffaws already. “Yeah, just wait until the snow flies.” The pundit gets it. Yes, we have snow here in the Southland, but that is a very small price to pay to look out amongst the hills shining brightly in October and November, before shedding leaves all over the place, including clogging house gutters.
HI Brian,
Oh the day for when pipes and tobacco advertising comes back. I wonder if I will ever see it?
I have known Bill Feuerbach for years, starting with the old IRC Chat Group #Pipes in the late 1990s. He was instrumental in developing the high grade, hand made Kaywoodie pipes.
Music – George Burns and Bobby Vinton, now that goes back a while.
Rave – for the Mark Twain coins being minted with monies going to two of his support groups. Good a coin showing Mark Twain holding a pipe and smoking…great, going to have to get one when they are issued.
great show.
Brian and Bill, This was a fantastic show due to excellent performances by both participants. I enjoyed the “old” advertisements. They made me nostalgic for the days when tobacco companies could unabashedly advertise their wares. The interview with Mr. Feuerbach was everything I had hoped it would be. Best of all, my question was answered: Kaywoodie Handmade pipes can be purchased from wvsmokeshop.com. They sold at least one pipe as a result of this week’s episode.
Hi Brian,the commercials were great,brought back alot of memories. Enjoyed the interview with Bill Feuerbach, he has a great family history in the pipe business, a Yello Bole was one of the first pipes I owned.Nice to know that George Burns was also a pipesmoker.You know spring is around the corner when pipe show season starts. Great Show!
I had heard most of the commercials before and it was great to hear them again.
Very nice chat with Bill Feuerbach. His company has a wonderful history and is a stalwart of the piping community.
The music was pretty interesting.
The Twain coins sound interesting. I might have to get one or more.
Very nice show. I’ve never seen those old commercials. I’m glad there are many more on Youtube! The one I liked the most from this batch was that in which the old club member is showing a size 3 pipe while asking for tobacco and then reveals a size 6 pipe from his inner coat pocket after he is offered some! hahaha
Nice interview. After listening to it I went online to check out the handmade Keywoodies. Wow! Nice pipes indeed!
Mark Twain coins – If I lived in the US I would definitely get one. When to the US Mint website. They are very nice.
