Welcome to the very special first episode of weeknight smoke. This episode runs a little longer than what I planned on, but I did have two interviews this time! In the first segment of our first episode, we are joined by Rev. Randall M. Graff AKA Padre Piper. Padre and I talk pipes, tobacco, and much more. During our talk, Padre was going to discuss the full recipe for his own tobacco Rector's Blend but he couldn't find the notes! I received an e-mail later the same day with those very notes and we have included it here for your perusal:
.75 ounce (or 1 part) Lane BCA
.75 ounce (or 1 part) Lane Virginia
Allow that to marry in a sealed jar for 10-14 days, gently shaking the mixture every few days.
After completing that step, add 1.5 ounce (or 2 parts) Lane BS-005 to the jar. Seal and allow to marry for at least a week to 10 days, making certain to again shake/mix every couple of days.
After a week to 10 days, enjoy Rector’s Blend.
Shop Talk with Nate Rose is our second segment! Nate and I discuss what is up in our lives and at his shop in this part of the episode. This segment was originally going to be part of Maple City Pipecast, but I thought it would be good on this show as well. Nate was also featured in the Carver Series on Maple City Pipecast.

Nate is also the man responsible for the pipe featured in the shows current cover art.
Finally, we get to our tobacco impression for this episode, Sutliff Private Stock Maple Street. what did I think of this tobacco? I can't remember, you'll have to listen to find out!
