Thanks, Briarfriar for posting that link
I was there at Cafe Tabac for that interview about 2 months ago and was waiting for it to come out. The interviewer did bring a pipe with him to smoke while doing his work. He was a bit of a novice, but we helped him along.
By the way, Lou Carbone, president of the NYC Pipe Club, was with us at Chicago along with about 10 other members.
