Jeremy Reeves of Cornell & Diehl on Radio Show of October 7, 2025

[admin]

We have a tobacco packed Pipes Magazine Radio Show for you tonight. First, Brian will go deep on aging and cellaring tobaccos. Then instead of the usual shorter recurring segment of "Ask the Blender" with Jeremy Reeves of Cornell & Diehl, we will have Q&A with him for the longer main segment of the show. We asked you to send questions about tobacco and we got enough for an extended segment. We also found some old ones that fell through the cracks. After the music and mailbag segments, Brian has a tobacco related rant as well.

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

Jeremy is providing me with some Scarface desk-scene energy sitting with those bricks of leaf.
Also, Brian mentions Justin going through the forum comments, is this a Pipes Magazine Radio Show new character announcement, or have I just not been paying attention?
The fact that Bijou uses some 2003 Red Virginia is a cool tidbit to drop mid-conversation; makes me feel good about the couple of tins I have, and very good about the one tin I used to home blend with Perique.
As for folks complaining about purchasing 30 tins of Carolina Red Flake w/ Perique, I mean what can I say, if they’re following Brian on instagram to see the haul and complain why aren’t they following Cornell & Diehl to see when it’s released? Tons of other brick and mortar and online retailers also got some, it was a big run, and it’ll be back in a couple years if you missed it. People just have a knee-jerk impulse towards negativity, I guess, and perhaps they’re self-soothing a bit.
Anyway, great show this week.

Hearing Jeremy talk about about his craft makes me appreciate the time we live in as pipe smokers. We've taken some hits the last 10 years, but we really do have some craftsman still out there making pipes and tobacco. These are still the good ole days, especially if you still live in one of the free states in America. I'm looking forward to trying Bijou, it's been on my shelf for a year now so maybe it's time. It does make me wonder though, how do they hold leaf for that long without it turning to dust and/or losing it's flavor?

That dude is legit.

I emailed SP a question a long while ago, got an email back from Jeremy himself with my answer!

Kind regards,

Really great episode. I learned a lot from Brian’s break down of cellaring with respect to the different type of packaging. And what else can you say - Jeremy Reeves is just a pro and the love of his craft permeates. We are so fortunate to have him. Thanks for yet another informative show.

Brian & Jeremy are pure evil and not helping my dive down the rabbit hole of home blending. So many more ideas on what to try next, and I'm going to have to listen to this episode a couple of more times. Thanks for sharing, fueling my hobby/addiction, and doing the deep dive!

Jeremy is a real gentleman. When I first started my pipe smoking journey (as the Youtubers are wont to say), I called him and he took plenty of time to patiently answer my questions, offer tips and suggestions on blends to try, and even recommended a fine gin. The man appreciates the finer things.

Ive personally met Jeremy and the Laudisi staff, great folks and a lot of hands on physical labor goes into what we as pipe smokers enjoy.

I was fortunate enough to have a few private conversations with him when I had Instagram. He struck me as an honest and humble person, very funny. It's a pleasure to listen to his reviews. A large online tobacco shop, where I was able to stock up on their magnificent and varied brand. God bless you, Jeremy.

Even if he was recording through a cell phone Jeremy is one of those folks who you just want to hear talk. He's a wellspring of knowledge. Fascinating episode, thanks as always!
