A really entertaining show. Brian’s take on different tobaccos smoking characteristics and how the different shapes/sizes of the pipe you are using can effect that is something all new pipe smokers need to know.
I had never heard of Scott Tinker, but the interview was enjoyable. I went out to his website to see some of his tobacco related wood work but was sorely disappointed in what the web site showed. A minimalist operation.
I had hoped to hear a review of the Vegas show but will have to wait until next time.
Great show guys. The first segment was very informative. Scott was great, one of the best interviews yet. That guy has a seriously great voice. I was amazed to learn that Brian knew Lalo Schifrin, I have seen his name on so many movies and tv shows I can’t even begin to count. I did not know he came up with the Mission Impossible theme song, that is too cool.
Another great show! Thanks for the bowl size verses tobacco blend information; I will definitely try it and see of it holds true for me. I especially liked the interview with Scott Tinker; he seems to be a very talented guy with great experiences to share. I’m sure he has many more fascinating stories. I recommend him for another interview sometime.
