Pipe Related Podcast Episode - Sykes Wilford Interview

[jrharrigan]

Hey everyone,

I am co-host of a pretty popular podcast called Words & Numbers. This week we interviewed Sykes Wilford from SmokingPipes.com. It's about a half hour long. It's a rare thing that we get a guest on who has a lot to do with my hobbies, so this one was a real treat

I like everything about this guy.
A few months after they went online, I ordered a pound of Commonwealth and a pound of FVF. When I opened the box I found along with my order a Tsuge 3 piece tamper. At first I thought it was a freebie, but I checked the site and saw the price of them and knew that it wasn’t any freebie, it was a packing mistake.
I emailed and asked whether they wanted me to ship it back or charge my card (I never had one that fancy, but it was wicked cool).
I got a reply from a guy named Sykes Wilford thanking me for the business, and please keep it with their compliments.
So I’m thinking to myself “Sykes Wilford? Dudes gotta be 80 years old with a name like that. “
It was a few years later that I saw a picture and figured out who he was.

I liked him a lot too. It was great having him on.

Very interesting. I didn’t realize there were so few pipe smokers.
