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!
Great show!
As for Michigan State, “Go Blow,” I mean “Go Blue.” They should worry more that the crime rate on campus is significantly higher than the national average for colleges, particularly, instances of assaults and rape.
By the way, I’m glad it was clarified that “Grandma Slapping” was not really to be encouraged.
Thanks, Dino
Nice interview! Great questions and answers too.
the 2yrs I’ve been smoking a pipe, I’ve come to admire those with exquisite stems both in comfort and appearance.
I could not understand the name of the pipe maker that Joe mentioned as being one he admires…I got ‘trevor toomey’? About 40 min. in.
Everybody GROK!

Finally got to the show this week and it really delivered. The trip report really delivered in the show. Shame it isn’t open to the public.
The interview with Joe Hinkle was delightful. I can remember him at a show in Columbus two years ago. He didn’t sell anything until the last minute when I bought one and a guy on the deck bought one. He was brand new and no one had heard of him. The KC Club bought their club pipe from him in 2015.
What can you say about the rant? Their are people who will curry the favor of the “do gooders” by outlawing smoking and ignoring all the other things that are really harmful. They are saying those are okay if you do them in moderation. Yet they will strike down a freedom that is truly done in moderation. I can’t wait for the first ordnance that won’t let you smoke in your house if someone is visiting you.
I think what bothered me most about the MSU decision is the fact that so many of us first discovered pipes while in college. Not that students can’t still do that. But what is the likelihood when all pipe smoking would have to happen off-campus — and there are precious few places to do that, especially if you’re wanting to study or write a paper while you’re puffing away? And this policy is bound to hurt the business of the one pipe/cigar business in East Lansing, which is just across the street from campus.
Dino: Just to clarifyy, “Go Blue” refers to the University of Michigan, not Michigan State. MSU is the Spartans, whose colors are green and white. 🙂
