Welcome to The Pipes Magazine Radio Show Episode 664. Our featured guest tonight is Dan Butler of D. Butler Pipes. Dan is a part time pipe maker producing beautiful artisan pipes. He found his way to pipes after university didn’t work out, then working the night shift in a mental hospital put so much stress on him that he need to find relief.

(Find out what that is on the show. It’s super badass cool.) Austin is a father and husband living in his native Wisconsin. He does social work full time and makes pipes part time. 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. At the top of the show in the Pipe Parts segment, we will continue the virtual tour of Brian’s pipe collection with two estate Comoy’s pipes that have a great background story.

Good show Brian,its always relaxing to listen to this show while smoking a pipe after a long work day.
Tonight I’m smoking my brand new Briarworks classic that I picked up at the Columbus pipe show,it was my first ever show and I had a great time,now I can’t wait till the Chicago show next year.
I can’t agree more with your urging to support NASPC and their publication, “The Pipe Collector.” The magazine has become the true scion of the venerable “Pipe Smoker’s Ephemeris.” The internet is great, but, just as it’s important to our hobby to support B&M pipe shops, it’s similarly important to support the two main “hardcopy” publications, the incredibly beautiful “Pipes And Tobaccos,” and the wonderfully informative and vital “The Pipe Collector.”
A very nice conversation with Mr. Gorski. His insights and history were fascinating, nostalgic and entertaining.
“Locomotive Breath” is my favorite Jethro Tull song. I saw Ian Anderson and his group perform this song live last year, and for a guy who’s just a year young than me (I’m 70), he still kicks ass, and toots a mean flute.
Perhaps Jungle Jack Hanna, and the rest of the Columbus Zoo administrative personnel, should be relocated to a new habitat within the zoo; I suggest within the lions’ den.
Thanks,
Dino
