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 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!
