For episode 66, it was my pleasure to chat with master blender Russ Ouellette of PipesandCigars.com fame. Check out this podcast for some great insight and advice, then go grab some of his awesome blends at PipesandCigars.com.

The longest podcast to date and one that gives us just a glimpse into a very important portion of our modern pipe world: SmokingPipes.com. It was a real pleasure to hang out at the SPDC headquarters and chat with Sykes and some of the staff back on December 5th, 2014. I learned a good bit about the history behind the institution and had a great time to boot. I think you will love this one.

It was so cool to finally chat with my Swedish pal Jonas Rosengren. What a really nice and talented guy he is! You'll hear how Jonas begins his journey and a lot more. I hope you enjoy!

It was my pleasure to chat with American pipe carver Tim Thorpe for episode 63. One of things that really stands out to me about Tim's work, is his color push. I hope you enjoy!

It was a pleasure to chat with Nat Clark of Middle Earth Tobacco. I have to say that I got more than I bargained for and was pleasantly surprised. Here's a heck of a guy carrying on his Grandfather's tobacco legacy through small batch hand blending. I hope you enjoy as much as I did!

I truly had a great time interviewing Jay from Rokstarpipes.com. He is easily one of the funniest guys I know. With a real passion for pipes and history, take a listen to an honest American and good friend of mine. I hope you enjoy!

It is with great pleasure that I present to you a very interesting delve into the Oom Paul shape debate written by none other the Mr. Ben Rapaport. Ben's very interesting paper on the pipe shape and it's twists and turns is read by Venessa Sylvester. I hope you enjoy!

It was great chatting with American pipe carver Nate King. What a talent he is. Looking for a twist on the traditional? Looking for something totally and completely different? Find both and much more coming out of Nate's shop. Take a listen!

Up and coming pipe maker from the Kansas City area, Scottie Piersel.

I stumble upon a really neat site, and the next thing you know I find pressed clay pipes for sale! Take a listen to Jonathan Townsend talk about this really interesting family business that involves everything from tricorn hats to chatelains. Oh, and pipes!
