The Pipes Magazine Radio Show Episode 364

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 pipe maker Chris Kelly of Eldridge Pipes. Chris is from Leamington Spa, England and is definitely into gothic, cultist-type styles and culture, and it shows in his pipe designs. He produces some standard pipe designs, but prefers to mix traditional with gothic designs – pipes with spooky colors, and spikes sticking out of them. We start this episode with our popular “Ask the Pipe Maker” where renowned pipe artisan, Jeff Gracik answers your technical questions about pipes. Sit back, relax with your pipe, and enjoy The Pipes Magazine Radio Show!

Tonight’s show is sponsored by SmokingPipes.com, Cornell & Diehl, Missouri Meerschaum, and Savinelli Pipes and Tobaccos. Please give them some consideration when making your next pipe or tobacco purchase.
We hope you enjoy our 1-hour show produced just for you—the pipe smoker and collector.

  • Very enjoyable show. There’s no doubt that Chris has a very Talbertesque flair to his pipes.
    Last weeks music was very good but this weeks was rather weak. Queen can be very good when they keep there instruments under control. Unfortunately tribute bands can rarely do that.
    I am trying to figure out how a small country population-wise like Norway can have enough people to run an airline.

  • Hi Brian,
    Great show, I always enjoy an English perspective on the hobby. Chris was an interesting guest.
    Thank you for your discussion of army mounts in Pipe Parts. My Petersons with army mounts are my favorite pipes to take traveling. When I am out and about and need to smoke 3-4 bowls from the same pipe before I can get back to my hotel room, it is great to be able to break them down right after smoking even while they are hot, do a good cleaning and then carry them easily in my shirt pocket. I save my fancy briars for smoking at home. Cheers.

  • Just listened to episode 349 a little behind, but not to worry.
    The bit about lighters, why no mention about the best of them all! The Zippo.
    Kind regards Oldmansmoking
