Ted Swearingen, the Man Behind the Curtain at SmokingPipes.com on Radio Show of Feb 18, 2020

[admin]

Our featured interview on The Pipes Magazine Radio Show tonight is with Ted Swearingen. Ted is the Chief Operating Officer of Laudisi Enterprises Inc. Laudisi’s retail division is SmokingPipes.com. They also distribute, and either make or import Savinelli Pipes, Peterson Pipes, Rossi, Cornell & Diehl, G.L. Pease, Savinelli Tobacco, Briarworks, and Kiribi. Aside from Sykes Wilford, Ted is the top guy that makes sure everything happens that needs to happen to keep all of these brands hopping. In celebration of International Pipe Smoking Day, Brian has an extended conversation with Ted, so we skip the Pipe Parts segment. Interesting tidbit: Ted is the person that replaced Brian when he left SmokingPipes.com.

Young guy, he moved right on up. Should be interesting.

A really smart guy, with lots of information. I look forward to hearing this.

 

[BROBS]

I want a job smoking pipes..............

Great interview with a very relaxed tone. Good stuff.

IPSD was observed in an appropriately public fashion with some fine McClelland’s Virginia leaf. I got only one comment, that my pipe didn’t smell bad like cigarettes. I’ll score that as a win.

My ears couldn't make out ted's favorite tobacco. The audio cut out. Inquiring minds want to know!
