At first I was frustrated by aging tobacco, because you have to be patient and us Millennials aren’t really known for being patient. After I had my first bowl of 10yr old Virginia though, I learned that patience is a virtue.
I’ve seen Mike’s work a lot on SmokingPipes and I must say he makes...

I’m going to be at the hospitality suite Wednesday night for some time. Plan on spending most of Thursday at the hotel between the suite and room hopping. Friday I’m going to have my Sam Adebayo collection on display for the Collector’s Showcase.
If anyone is interested in meeting up...
So glad to see Jerry Crawford will be there! Excited to stop by Stefan Cashwell, Kevin Foster, and Rich Roselli’s tables. They’re doing great work. It’ll be nice to get to meet them in person. It’s gonna be an unforgettable show!
This is why I love pipes. I was having a bad day yesterday until I saw the notes for this episode. The Instagram handle looked familiar, so I checked to see if I was following Chris and I wasn’t. Right away I hit that follow button. Then I spent a good 30 minutes scrolling through the pictures...
C&D- Comfort (it has Burley and Black Cav as well)
Escudo
Sutliff Crumble Cake VaPer
Stokkebye Luxury Bullseye Flake (has Black Cav too)
Robert McConnell’s Scottish Cake (has Burley too)
Since I’m well over the under 30 crowd does that qualify me to be a codger now?
My journey to the pipe was started by the Lord of the Rings trilogy. It was cemented by my then girlfriend now wife who happened upon me enjoying a bowl once and said, “I didn’t know you smoked a pipe. That’s...
Love your Ernie Markoe collection. He does great work.
“I have a head for radio”, had me laughing out loud. Cool to hear Chris has worked with Bruno. Bruno’s doing incredible work. Hope to be able to buy one of his Bing Crosby pipes at the Vegas show. With a mentor like Bruno I’m sure Chris’...
I don’t envy you doing all that work with the computer. My knowledge of computers is limited to the on/off button.
Columbus show sounded like a blast. I did see a lot of pictures with vintage tins. Heard they were going for a good deal. Can’t wait for the Vegas show!
147 different blends! 🤯...
My air conditioner started having issues after the fifth day in a row over 115°F last month. Luckily we changed the filter and let it rest over night and it started working just fine again.
That’s an interesting tin that your friend got. I haven’t ran into that issue myself yet. Thanks for the...
Really cool his wife got into the hobby too!
I’m also a big fan of the Briarworks crew. Hope Corey’s able to get a Prevost pipe he really enjoys.
As for the Olympics, I pose this question to you Brian, if pipe smoking was an Olympic sport with three disciplines you could medal in what would...
That was a very perplexing Ask The Pipe Maker. Would be interested in seeing pictures of the pipe.
Great interview! AJ’s diving into the hobby in a big way. The Askwith pipes look incredible.
I’m not sure who came up with doing the Moonshine stems like that.
I think Sam’s still working with Briarworks. Gonna ask Pete at the LVIPS show in October.
I’ve been following Sam’s work since 2018. He’s my favorite carver. My collection now sits at 7 Adebayo pipes. I’m always on the look out for his pipes either new or on the estate market. They’re incredibly pleasing to the eye and also excellently engineered. It’s been fun watching his carving...
