Jon David Cole - got interviewed by local Jackson news about the move and the renovations. https://www.wjtv.com/news/metro/the-quarter-gets-a-new-lease-on-life/1402126161
Jon Is a cool guy! I love his stuff. My favorite blend of his has to be Second Breakfast. Parson's blend is really good too. I've been dying to try Raspberry Seersucker, but I haven't gotten around to it for a number of reasons.
Hahaha yeah I'm pretty sure Jon David is around my age, I'm 33yrs old. The Squire itself has been there for nearly 50 years though. Good to see things going well for the Squire. All the best to Jon David and the Magnolia Pipe Club.
Yeah, it was funny to see all the mistakes, local media is not exactly the brightest, unfortunately. But I'm super happy he got the interview, I worked with the property management company when I was writing the press release and sent it over to all the local news outlets and I they did as well.
I’m a fan of their podcast, and recently got a few samples to try out, both aromatic and non. All around wonderful stuff, all at optimal moisture and ready to smoke.
Support them, you won’t be disappointed.
Unfortunately there is little professionalism in the media at that level. Those types of stories are usually assigned to reporters who are one step above being an intern.
In my personal experience the media has a generally low accuracy rate at all levels. If the story involves anything even remotely technical the rate approaches zero.
Great to see the Squire getting some press, especially in these times where tobacco is usually considered evil.
Hopefully the publicity of a smoke shop isn’t a target for the anti’s. I was kinda surprised that a up and coming boutique shopping center wants anything to do with smoke. 8O
Jon is the best!! When I visited the Squire during my honeymoon he was so kind to me and my wife! I purchased many of the Squire blends and they're all awesome. My favorite are Pirate's Alley and PS Blend. I wish I lived closer, sigh...
