Our featured interview on The Pipes Magazine Radio Show tonight is with with Paul E. Allen, author of the book, "When Tobacco was King". The book discusses tobacco from 1927 to 1972 in the areas of social history, business, travel stories, and philanthropy based on his father's career in the tobacco industry. He was the President of the Canadian Leaf Tobacco Company, which was the second largest purchaser and processer of tobacco in Canada. In Pipe Parts, Brian will discuss one of the the parts of the tamper, the pick, which is used to help get the leftover ashes out, but you have to be careful with it.
