Pipemaker Chris Mattioda on Radio show of September 10, 2024

[admin]

Our featured interview on tonight's Pipes magazine Radio Show is with Chris Mattioda of C. Martin Pipes. Chris is a 25-year old part time pipemaker from Enumclaw, Washington. He actually made a pipe before he smoked one as it was one of his chosen 9th grade wood shop projects. Later he acquired a wood lathe and was making pens and other items, but he became real serious about making pipes when he came across a video of pipemaker Jeff Gracik. At the top of the show Brian will follow up on a two year old tobacco review on Savinelli Janus. He let the tin age for two years and now he will explore the differences.

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

This is why I love pipes. I was having a bad day yesterday until I saw the notes for this episode. The Instagram handle looked familiar, so I checked to see if I was following Chris and I wasn’t. Right away I hit that follow button. Then I spent a good 30 minutes scrolling through the pictures of his work and it was incredible. It was cool to see his progression over the two years. I came across a picture of him at the Chicago Show, so naturally I ran to vegaspipeshow.com to check the exhibitor list and sure enough he’s listed as having a table. Now I’m looking forward to stopping at his table and having a chat. I went from down in the dumps to on cloud nine. Thanks Brian and Chris, can’t wait to see you both at the show in a few weeks!
