Our featured interview on tonight's Pipes Magazine Radio Show is with Rick Newcombe. Rick is a well-known author of two pipe books, and he is currently working on his third book about pipes. He is a prominent collector of Danish pipes, and vintage tobaccos. He has traveled the world visiting pipe makers, and learning their different techniques. He is also the founder and chairman of Creators Syndicate, which currently represents more than 200 writers and artists. At the top of the show we’ll have a Pipe Smoking 101 segment discussing best pipe shapes and sizes that are best suited to certain types of tobacco.

The show airs every Tuesday at 8:00pm eastern US time, and can be found at PipesMagazine.com and all podcast apps.

This interview reminds me that I need to read his first two books. Hearing his interview makes you realize that guys like him and Rich Esserman aren't well known just because of their collections but because of the people they are; they love pipes and that love (as well as their warmth) is infectious.
