Pipes, Pours, and Pals

Gentlemanly Curmudgeon sounds like an oxymoron, but for this episode it couldn't be more apropos. 

You know him. The best head of hair in the pipe world. The King of Selfies. The god of pipe related Instagram posts. The carbless wonder. The Escudo wearing tanner. Super-Pal, Jay Furman. Jay is a tremendous supporter of this show. This week, we smoke a blend that he sent us, and he's made the very generous offer of sending YOU some too. There's a catch... you must be the first person to message him the name of the blend and the code word buried in this episode. 

This week we wrap up the first impressions marathon through the D&S blends by GL Pease. What a tremendous journey! Thanks Mike for the generous samples and thanks Greg for blending such exceptionally well rounded mixtures in this series. 

Like a quality pipe, each Pal is unique. We all hope to make our mark on the world. Leave something to be remembered by.

Fantasy, make-believe, pretend, imaginary. When it comes to football, it doesn't feel fake to us. It's joyful goodness. Like all good things, it must come to an end. Join us, and find out which of your Pals won the inaugural Pipes, Pours, Pals, and Pigskin Fantasy Football League.  

There has been a bourbon heist of extraordinary proportions. Pour your favorite drink and enjoy the tale (whether it's tall or not).

This episode is chock full of ridiculousness. Show tunes, musicals, getting murdered by an unhinged Irishman. Grab a pipe, your favorite tobacco, and a comfy seat. Enjoy an hour of nutty fodder.

Two experiences makes one an expert right? Of course not! Your Pals Justin and Nate aren't shy about admitting that we don't know what we are talking about. Not about pipes. Not about tobacco. Not about booze. Not even about life. We DO know about having a great time WITH pipes, tobacco, booze, and most importantly...PALS! 

If you've listened for any period of time, you know we speak freely. Our discourse always meanders through tobacco, drinks, sports, work, family, life, entertainment, and general nonsense. This week we tackle some very important and hotly contested topics. Find your lounge, sit back, relax...heck, even join in the conversation. Through email or Instagram of course. Otherwise, people might think you're talking to yourself.

First of all, thank you so much for bearing with us while we missed a week due to illness. We are on the mend, but between the down time and the Thanksgiving holiday we got to examine and reflect on you, our Pals. We had so many people reach out with well wishes and tales of withdraw. We read all of your comments and messages but even went a step further and stalked you to learn more about our Pals. The major standout was that we have such a diverse community. We are thankful for each and every different person that tunes in. More on that topic in the show!
