Per Jensen with New Blends on Radio Show of August 26, 2025

[admin]

Our featured interview on tonight's Pipes Magazine Radio Show is with Per George Jensen. Per is like an executive chef of tobacco. He never runs out of new tasty concoctions. He also always seems to land on his feet. In case you don’t know, he spent many years at Mac Baren and later created blends for Sutliff as well. With the buyouts by STG, which have already been discussed at length, Sutliff is gone, and Mac Baren as we knew it, will soon be too. The good news is that the new Per Jensen Legacy Collection by Cornell & Diehl comes out next week – September 2. The four blends are tributes to Per’s father, Per Georg Jensen, a man who once wore the proud uniform of the Danish Navy. At the top of the show we’ll have an Ask the Pipemaker segment with renowned pipe artisan Jeff Gracik.

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

The man!!! Can't wait to listen to this!

 

[abecox]

This will be a fun one I can already tell.

Ooh, I wonder if Brothers In Arms is anything like HH Acadian Perique....

From the description, nothing like it. I’ve got 2 100gr tins left and when they’re gone it will be a day of mourning.

 

[Kollman]

What a fun show and history lesson. Can't wait to give these a try when they come out next week.

Always a pleasure when Jeff is on. Great discussion, it brought up points I never considered before. Can’t wait to see Jeff at the Vegas show.

It’s good that Per’s back doing what both he and we love him doing, blending. A team of Per and Jeremy Reeves, that’s like the Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale of pipe tobacco. The blends sound great and the tin art is top notch. Excited to see what comes next.

 

[Mike N]

It does not surprise me that two of the most talented and humble men in the pipe and tobacco industry, Sykes Wilford and Per Jensen, are finally under the same roof. Combining Per Jensen and Jeremy Reeves in the blending room together is a recipe for deliciousness.

It is unfortunate and our loss that guests of the caliber of Per Jensen are not interviewed by someone who is professional, prepared, organized, mature, articulate, eloquent, astute, and incisive. However, there is no denying that Levine is a true iron-man, consistently, unfailingly, delivering a show with uniform format each and every week for an astoundingly long decade and more. Which we all enjoy. Who the heck, these days, behaves with that kind of commitment and stick-to-it-ness? Thank you, Brian.

Man, that’s a mixed review. Brian Levine is the man and your description of him in that first sentence is totally wrong.

Are you being sarcastic or serious?

Man, that’s a mixed review. Brian Levine is the man and your description of him in that first sentence is totally wrong.

I did read the first sentence as " It is unfortunate and our loss that guests of the caliber of Per Jensen are not USUALLY interviewed". Great interview, with very fitting touches of humour, we really guess that the interviewee and the interviewer know each other well.

It was the “However” that made the post unfortunate, or at a minimum inartfully phrased.

Took me a minute but that is my impression, too.

I’m listening to the show for the second time now. Yesterday I had it on while mowing. Usually I can make out most of what’s happening in my Work Mate headphones but for some reason it was just the right pitch and timbre that I could hear Brian perfectly and Per only on occasion. It was interesting trying to piece it together, lol. I could hear Jeff fine, though. Great show! Looking forward to these blends and am glad they will be regular production!

 

[Homer]

Hopefully we can get those blends also in Germany.

 

[ofafeather]

Hopefully we can get those blends also in Germany.

Per says Germany will be first after the US.

 

[Peter Turbo]

wtf is "dark citrus" supposed to mean? like an orange thats depressed? sith lord lemon?

 

[AirOne]

Hopefully we can get those blends also in Germany.

Next year

Are you being sarcastic or serious?

Yes, agreed it is a mixed review, and I was being serious, not sarcastic. But it is my opinion, subjective, and I expected it would generate contrary opinions. That is fine. Everyone on this forum expresses an opinion, many we all do not agree with. But that does not mean I do not enjoy his show, and I listen every week, and have listened to almost all since the beginning. And like I stated, I respect and admire his commitment and consistency to put out a show every week. For so long. There are other pipe podcasts, but none are as good or as habit-forming as Brian’s. It’s a contradiction. But there it is. And thanks, Kevin, for sticking with it too, all these years.
