Hey Brian,

Another great show. Ethan was incredibly thoughtful in all of his answers and provided an interesting look into his personal life. You didn't answer his question regarding the best bulk VaPer, but you did your best to provide what works for you. I enjoyed the musical selection. Thanks for another great show.

I had a bottle of TF Tobacco Vanille, it smells like a hobby store, think Michael’s. Most Tom Ford fragrances are not worth their price in my opinion, there are far better niche perfumers out there at a much better price point. I could go on about Tom Ford but I won’t. : )

I always like trying to match my fragrance with my pipe aroma to see how the two can work together to create my own unique scent. If you are looking for a good high end bottle of fragrance I would suggest looking at something from Creed like, Green Irish Tweed, Silver Mountain Water or Royal Mayfair (hint, never pay full retail price for these, only the very wealthy do that). You can get these, legally and 100% real without paying full retail price on the gray market.

As you probably guessed, I went down this rabbit hole with fragrances and believe it or not, there are a lot of parallels to pipe smoking, they have their own forums, they even hoard small batches and some folks have way too many bottles in their cellars. It’s pretty interesting, they even have podcasts and it’s huge on YouTube. You’d be surprised at how many colognes/fragrances list pipe tobacco as a “note”.

As always, this was another great show, Brian, I’m always grateful to have your show magically and reliably show up on my phone every Tuesday. Take care, friend.
