    Congratulations on your accomplishment and sweet pipe!

    Pipe Maker Yosef Zehnder on Radio Show of June 24, 2025

    Really enjoyed hearing what led both of you down the pipe road, and it is truly the community that cements the love of this hobby. Yoself has some beautiful pipes and I will have to keep my eye on his work. Good luck in your pipe making journey!

    Bobby Eichorn, Charatan Collector on Radio Show of June 17, 2025

    Like most of your shows, I have enjoyed diving into the history of the Charatan company and pipes. Their billiards are beautiful and of great quality, but looking for that perfect bent pipe like Bobby has clenched in his teeth.

    Skippy's Blend of the Week

    Solid review, and I agree with most everything you have tasted and observed. Not sure if it is under the radar, at least in my area, as I have found it at almost every B&M in the area. Maybe that is because it is a good and solid VA blend that fits a lot of our palates. Keep up your reviews!

    Don' Buy the Regular Mouth 8 OZ Ball Mason Jars

    I guess I always just dumped the tobacco out of my old jelly jars rather than trying to reach in, but suddenly I need more jars in my life. Off to Wally World....

    Stealth Blends for Family Vacation

    Codger & Cherry blends are probably your best bet. Cult, Captain Black, Lane, and PA are probably your best to keep the family happy. Next time, suggest going on a separate vacation, say to Las Vegas, to the pipe show.

    Jody Davis on Radio Show of June 10, 2025

    I remember seeing the Newsboys a couple of times in concert back in the day, so I had to do a little research to see what other music they have made over the years. Really enjoyed hearing about Jody's pipe making, and that led me down another rabbit trail on the Internet. Tired now, need to go...

    Skippy's Blend of the Week

    I think you need a Presbyterian t-shirt after that review and have probably convinced a few of us to pick up a tin or two. Great review and comparison of EMP, which I do quite enjoy as well. Thanks for suffering through this one for us. ;)

    Pipe Maker Dan Butler of Radio Show of June 3, 2025

    I keep liking Dan, his pipes, and his wife's pipe bags/socks more and more. Can't believe the level of quality and craftsmanship he cranks out after just a few months at this, but when it is your passion, get out of the way. Great write-up on Peterson Pipe Notes, too. Go Huskers!

    Recently Acquired my First Peterson Pipe

    I like bent pipes more than straight/billiard, so I have more of those styles, but maybe I need something like yours. Some of my Petes are 307, Sherlock Holmes Lestrade, 309, and the pub pipe. There aren't any bad ones, and finding a style you like and will smoke is the best way to go. Many of...

    Balsa 6mm Filter After Half a CC Bowl

    I think how "dirty" your filter gets has a lot to do with the type of tobacco and how wet it is. Most aromatics and lighter blends don't leave a lot of residue, whereas Balkan and full English have more dark smoke. I think you can use the balsa filters more than once in your cob if they aren't...

    Austin Bourdo of Pathfinder Pipes on Radio Show of May 27, 2025

    Austin has some great pipes with a variety of styles that really impressed me. https://www.instagram.com/pathfinder_pipes/ Obviously, his wife has good taste and is steering him in the right direction. ;) Keep up the good work and have fun on the swim, bike, run adventure.

    I am going to try to make it.

    Jon David Cole on Radio Show of May 20, 2025

    Hey, Tobacco Jesus! Looks like I need to make a cross-country trip before you move. Can you drop the humidity down to about 40% and turn the AC up for me, so it is more like the Rockies? Congrats on the new opportunity!

    Kevin Godbee on The Pipes Magazine Radio Show of May 6, 2025

    I was all signed up for the Pipe Show this year, but the new date hit on the last week of classes at my college, and I had to cancel. Maybe I can get my students to grade their own assignments next year. ;) Thanks for sharing your adventures at the Chicago Pipe Show!

    Skippy's Blend of the Week

    I find a lot to be true with your description and assessment of KD. Kicked my but the first time and had to stay seated a bit longer but the flavor was excellent. I will try some of your smoking guidance to see how it affects the experience. Good review!
