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. First, it was relaxing with a cigar, but when he found his way to pipes, he became much more intrigued. He started off slow as he was paying off student debt, but when that was cleared, he dove in. At the top of the show in the Pipe Parts segment, Brian will have his first installment in searching for replacement tobaccos for some of the Mac Baren and Sutliff discontinued items.

Welcome to The Pipes Magazine Radio Show Episode 663. Our featured guest tonight is Austin Bourdo of Pathfinder Pipes. He is an Army Veteran having the highly specialized role of Pathfinder. (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.

Another magician that he was working with that was a pipe smoker, and 82-years old at the time, bought him his first pipe. At the top of the show in our Pipe Parts segment, Brian will have a tobacco review of Cornell & Diehl’s Opening Night.
Good show this week, fun pipe parts. I have to disagree with the logic of leaving pipe cleaners in the stem. If you pull the pipe cleaner out and there is any moisture on it, that is moisture that you have trapped in the stem and shank. In my experience, that means a sour pipe eventually. Even in a bag there is moving air. I’m surprised that you taste wax on a stem, Brian. Unless the stem is way over waxed, I don’t find carnauba to to have a flavor. I hadn’t heard Ian Anderson’s solo work, and I am glad that you shared it.
Nice show this week. Sounded like a different way pipes guys take care of their pipes.
This show definitely answered some big questions I had on pipe care and it was nice to hear the difference in methods between you two. One question I do have is, if you are doing the salt and alcohol treatment of the bowl, do you just carefully pour the alcohol in to the bowl, or do you use a “dropper” to make sure none of the alcohol touches the rim?
I agree with you wholeheartedly on the rant. Its important to have at least the basic etiquette of a foreign country understood before you go there. As you pointed out, the tour guides should have had that covered, and made sure the etiquette was followed. “When in Rome” as they say. It was funny to hear you poke fun at the California stereotype. Being from Kansas I understand how those stereotypes tend to cling to you if someone hasn’t had much exposure to people from different areas. Of course I rode horseback to the local one room school house, just kidding.
Dear Brian, love the shows.
However you did a disservice on the Falcon pipe. I have a few and love them. Have no problem with them and they smoke great.
You came across as a pipe snob! Only liking a traditional briar pipe.
Kind regards
