**Half Bowl Histories: The Inklings** Mar 08, 2023
Formerly ‘Heroes of the Bowl’, The Half Bowl Histories series takes a look into the history, lore, and legacy of individuals, places, and events of interest that helped shape the world we know today for good and for ill. Here we get a chance to revisit some of the famous pipe smokers we’ve covered in the past and shift the focus from what they loved to who they were and the complexities of their lives. This week: **The Inklings**
**Pipe Question:**
Good morning gentlemen! I have a pipe question for you. How does (if it actually does) the chamber size and shape affect the burn and smoking characteristics of the tobacco? Blessings, Gabriel Roper

**Listener Feedback:**
Hey Guys I'm huge fan of the pirate and tobacco series. Nov 3 I was on a cruise to Nassau Bahamas where they have a pirate museum. Which was amazing . As walked around the island I got to learn alot of pirate history while puffing on my cob with captain black. It was amazing. I had downloaded and listened all the pirate ands tobacco episodes on the plane ride. Good job guys can't wait to hear more tells from the sea. - Antwan Butler
With all the Pirate-themed episodes you are doing I thought you might like to listen to Alestorm, they are a Scottish Pirate Metal band. I recommend Keelhauled and Hangover to start. Not pipe related, but it is pipe adjacent. Thanks for what you do, I love the podcast and really hope to make the pilgrimage one day. A little planning coming from Ireland, but you never know. Cheers - Dwain Dunn

The Pipe in Modern Mythology Mar 01, 2023

What is the pipe's role in modern mythology? Have we lost the narrative entirely? And what responsibility does the modern pipe community have in telling our own stories? Get ready from some major soapboxing this episode.

Pipe Question:

Jeremy Dukes - pipe cleaners. They come in “soft’n’fluffy” and “hard’n’bristly”. I’ve always tended towards the hard cleaners because I refurbished so many pipes and used those bristles to really get the gunk out, but some swear soft is the only way to avoid damaging the stem. What are the two different cleaners intended to be used for? Is it preference or do they actually have separate functions?

Listener Feedback:

Hi Beau and Master Jon David, Gerson here. I am writing you guys to share with you and all Country Squire Radio community a bit of a special Brazilian folklore character deeply connected with pipe and pipe smoking called Saci Pererê. The Saci Pererê is considered one of the main characters in Brazilian folklore. Of course, there are many versions of his lore, but he is commonly depicted as a young one-legged black kid who wears a red hat and is always smoking his pipe. There are a few stories to explain how he lost his leg, but the most common one is that he lost it fighting capoeira (a Brazilian type of martial art with African roots) or had it chopped off by slavers when he was enslaved himself. It is believed that Saci moves around as a wind swirl and there are ‘techniques’ to capture and imprison him in glass bottles. He likes to play tricks (usually harmless) on people wherever he goes, such as topping people’s hats, spoiling food, and scaring horses. It is believed that he lives up to 77 years of age and then he is transformed into a poisonous mushroom. There are other versions of this mystical being in other South American countries, such as Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay. However, in Brazil, his lore originated in the southern region during the 18th century among the indigenous people know as the Guarani but throughout time, it incorporated European and African influences. But let us get to the point. As I mentioned, Saci Pererê is always depicted smoking his pipe. Of course, there is no way of knowing what he smoked in it, but I guess it was some type of cured twisted tobacco (or “rope tobacco” as we call it here in Brazil), very common among pipe smokers of the past who lived in small towns, villages and farms on the Brazilian countryside. Symbolically, the smoke represents the connection between physical and the spiritual worlds, as it does in many African-based religious ceremonies. The smoking element originates from its indigenous roots but is also influenced by the African culture. Some versions of Saci depict him as having a through-and-through hole in his hand which has the purpose, among other things, of facilitating the emptying of his bowl by knocking the pipe on his hand. Some say the hole is where he keeps the cinder used to light his pipe. I included below a few illustrations o this amazing Brazilian folklore character. - Gerson Fernandino de A. Neto

From The Library: Integrity Feb 15, 2023

The Library or Study has long been the haven of the contemplative pipe smoker. In our ‘From The Library’ series, we take a look into the musings, writings, poetry, and more that pique our interest and consider the mind of the author and how we can, or perhaps can’t, relate from our own experience. This week we have an article from Psychology Today on Integrity

Pipe Question:

So I had been smoking my first tin of autumn evening and was enjoying about halfway through the tin I started getting a very sour note that burned the back of my throat I thought it might be the pipe ,but it tastes fine either other aromatic tobaccos. I also smoked it in a different pipe first half of the bowl was good ,but the second half turned sour again why might this happen? - Jared Froese

Pipe Question:

Good morning brothers, I just finished listening to the episode “caught you blending” from 12 sep. 2018. I’m really excited to try out blending with some better knowledge now. A month ago, I took about 3 pounds of various high quality tobaccos that didn’t make the rotation, mixed them all up, and pressed them in the “poor man’s press” y’all talked about in a previous episode. It’s ready to come out now so I’ll send some along soon. Let me know what you think. That reminds me, someone asked you about making a highland grog coffee flavored tobacco on an episode recently, and you confessed to not knowing what that was. So, I’m sending you a bag of both kinds of highland grog that I know of. Let me know what you think eh? At the end of the episode in blending, I had one question for you, what are the general ratios for the different “standard” blends? English, aromatic, VaPer, Virginia etc - Thanks for all you do, please keep it up! - Gabriel Roper

Listener Feedback:

Hi JD and Beau, - I just finished listening to the vintage tin art episode and was surprised to find out that I have actually tried a tobacco that neither of you have. I am speaking about the 5 Brothers, I was a bit surprised that given how long it's been around you haven't had it, so I thought that this time the listener could advised the hosts. In my experience 5 Brothers is best in a small corn cob pipe like the short stop or Morgan from Missouri Meerschaum. The reason behind this is 5 Brothers is a very strong nicotine forward blend and is best enjoyed in small amounts. This last piece of advice regarding 5 Brothers is crucial, do not smoke it in your home. I have a very understanding wife in regards to my pipe smoking and doesn't mind when I partake in the leaf, except this one, it's the only blend I have that I am 100% forbidden to smoke in the house due to how close it smells to cigarettes. Anyway keep up the good work with the show and I'm looking forward to hearing the next episode. - Dave aka DRAlien

Squire Select: Gin Martini (Shaken. Not Stirred.) Feb 01, 2023

A pipe is the perfect complement to a good meal and a good drink is the kind companion to a good pipe. But these days there are so many options to pull from when walking down your local package store. Here we pair beverages with pipe tobacco to find an ideal combination to enhance the enjoyment of both.

Pipe Question:

From Don - Maybe you can help me with an issue i'm having. Any time I have something with burley in it, i find that i have a lingering harshness in the back of my mouth/throat that stays for many hours. It doesn't seem to matter how cool i smoke, or if it's an aromatic vs non. The only consistent thing seems to be if burley is present. Many english blends don't leave me with this issue. Any idea if it really could be the burley and, if so, is there a way to fix the issue? Thanks. - Don

Listener Feedback:

Hey Guys - Listening to your most recent episode. I didn’t look you guys were aware but there was at one point a limited edition Sinatra Jack Daniels. It’s supposed to be higher end. I’ve never had it but it may be worth coming back to, if you’re willing to dole out the dinero for it. Cheers! - Kane Mastin
Jonathan Montalvo - Hah! You should make a tobacco that intentionally tastes like chocolate covered raisins. Out of spite!

Pipe Question:

Hey Beau and JD, found you guys a few months back and I can't stop listening, I'm finding every episode a breath of fresh air in my otherwise dull life here in Japan. I have a question regarding cellaring tobacco in warmer climates such as Japan. I put my tobaccos in glass mason jars, but unfortunately as my air conditioning is not running all the time every square inch of my house becomes really warm, even my dark cupboards out of the way. Will this affect the aging progress of the tobacco and is there anything I can do? Hope you both are having a great week - Charlie from Japan

Listener Feedback:

Mitchell Chambers - Hi Beau & JD, I am a new listener who discovered the CSR podcast about a week ago. I've been a pipe smoker for almost a year now and today I signed up for your patreon at the listener level. Thank you both for so many incredible podcasts. I have been bingeing some older episodes and today I found myself getting quite emotional while listening to the episode on the soldier and sailor archetypes. It made me thinking of all the WW2 vets that I went to church with when I was a kid. Sadly, they've all passed on now. In the show you mentioned the famous Marine, Alabamian, and pipe smoker, Dr. Eugene Sledge, who was my granparent's neighbor at one time. Dr. Sledge taught biology at the university in my hometown of Montevallo, Alabama. He died when I was still quite young. But I've been told he was a private man who was often seen smoking his pipe and bird watching. Thank you both for the incredible work.
Jeremy Dukes - I hope you both had a wonderful holiday season with your families. Looking back on all the new-style-format shows in ‘22, I have to say I was pleasantly surprised at how well they fit with the tone of the show itself. I often listen to Country Squire Radio while working in the woodshop, and I found the intimacy of the episodes felt similar to when friends are over shooting-the-breeze with me while I pine away on some project. In fact, a couple of the “Father to Father” episodes were so poignant, I stopped whatever I was working on, sat down with my pipe, and listened intently because I was connecting so well to the conversation as a young(ish) father myself. Love what you guys do and appreciate you both for doing it.
Hello Beau and Master Jon David, I hope you guys are doing well. I would like to know your take on pipe smoking while eating. As a predominantly evening pipe smoker myself, this is the time of the day when my wife and I sit down to nibble some food and enjoy a glass of wine or beer while talking about our day. This moment of interaction and relaxation seems perfect for a nice bowl of tobacco. However, by this time, I am already hungry and need to eat something. At first, I avoided ‘pairing’ pipe tobacco and food but, as time went by, I kind of got used to it. Now, I do not mind smoking my pipe while eating. Of course, I do not do it Hobbit-in-fallen-Isengard style, but rather keep altering between eating, drinking, and smoking. Well, I hope I am not committing any heresy here, but that is how things typically go for me. LOL And I would not give up this moment of partnership and communion with my wife for nothing in this world. Love the show. Love you guys (if I am allowed to say that). Keep up the good work. Cheers from Brazil, Gerson FernanDINO (let’s see if Beau gets my surname right this time) LOL

**Father To Father: Our Faith Journeys** Dec 14, 2022
Step into the Country Squire Tobacconist on any given day and you’re likely to find a group of diverse men of all ages sharing their lives, triumphs, and troubles, over a bowl of quality pipe tobacco. In our Father To Father series, we try to capture the realness of conversation you find at your local pipe shop as we share our experience navigating fatherhood as two dads of young kids. This week we are sharing our faith journeys and how that impacts us as fathers.

**Listener Feedback:** (Jim Friedemann) Hello Beau and Jon David, It’s been a while since I’ve emailed you guys. I love your podcast and look forward to it each Wednesday. You mentioned in this week’s episode (David Foster Wallace’s 2005 Kenyon College Commencement Address) how everyone worships something, even if they don’t recognize it as worship. I loved your discussion around this. It got me thinking… there have been times when I’ve allowed pipe smoking to become an idol. I’ve had to watch how much I focus on it during the day. It’s so easy to muse on “what blend am I going to try today” or “I wonder if I’ll get the winning eBay bid on that Castello” or “I wonder if I could find any Esoterica on TurboTin today.” And if that wasn’t enough there’s always the pipe smoking forums, websites, podcasts, pipe clubs, publications, etc. out there that can easily eat up so much of my focus during the day. I’ve found that anything that competes with my attention to and affection for the Lord and others should always be suspect. Even good things like our amazing hobby can become an idol if we allow it. Any way, you may not want to read this on a pipe smoking podcast but it’s something I think is important for living a balanced, healthy and purposeful life. I so appreciate your perspective and voice in the pipe smoking community. Keep up the great work, guys!! - *jfreedy*

Pipe Question: I bought my latest batch of Chestnut in the 14oz tub. I know that old drugstore blends often come in such tubs. Will that keep my tobacco fresh, or do I need to get a big ol' Mason Jar to transfer it into? - Fr Isaac

Quickfire Questions:

What do you hate the most:

If you had to live with a ‘curse’ which would you prefer?

Werewolf, Zombie post death, Vampire, Mummie (which is basically just a more fashionable zombie thb)

Confession Time:

Did you ever cheat in College, Highschool or otherwise and if so how?

Listener Feedback: (CM Gilbert) I’ve recently, in the last two months, returned to my pipe and even rescued a Comoy’s and a Savinelli estate pipe from eBay. I have really enjoyed the banter between the two of you. It brings the genuine and insightful to a generally superfluous and hectic world. I have really enjoyed all of the shows but the ones so far that have brought a proper pause were the “From the Library” episodes on the books “The Miracle of Mindfulness” and “Grief Observed”. Just so you know, Douglas Gresham was Jack’s adopted son who lived with him after his mother’s death. You can find some of his talks on YouTube. He had a unique perspective being a young man with one of the greatest minds of the 20th century. Thanks for helping my commute to and from a difficult job.

Cigar Smoking 101: The Home Humidor Nov 16, 2022

Pipe Question: I've been enjoying some of the so-called "American English" blends lately, which I understand to be primarily burley-based, but with a bit of latakia added. Right now I've really been digging on Russ Ouellette's Chestnut blend, a match for the now-defunct Walnut of blessed memory. Any other suggestions for good "American English" blends, perhaps something tinned? - Fr. Isaac

Quickfire Questions:

What kind of instrument do you most enjoy listening to?

Violin, Drums, Piano, or Trumpet

What smell do you find irresistible

Crackling log fire, fresh parchment paper, home, or the sea?

Which would you rather be?

Trusted, Liked, Imitated, Praised, Envied or Feared

Listener Feedback: Feedback on the Calico Jack Episode - Dear Beau and Jon David, Hope you all are doing great! Just passing to praise Beau’s ability to tell stories. As a son of a storyteller myself (my mom) I appreciate the art and know how special it is for someone to have this ability. Beau is able to take us in the journey with him and his interpretation of the facts and impersonations make it even more entertaining. Congratulations, Beau! Keep up the good work.

Pipe Question: Hey guys, I’ve been enjoying my MM corn cobs a lot lately, and I’m wondering what y’all do to prep a fresh one for smoking? I didn’t enjoy the taste of the stem end charring the first few smokes. So I drilled it out and put in a pipe mortar composed of activated charcoal, salt, plaster of Paris, and water as a binder. I then shaped the mortar to make the draft hole open in the middle per the advise you’ve given on what makes a pipe smoke well. The result is really good, but it does take some work and patience. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this method as well as what y’all do with your cobs? Keep up the good work, I feel blessed by your weekly podcast. Thank you! - Gabriel Roper

Quickfire Questions:

Which of the following would you most hate people to call you?

Ordinary, Ignorant, Cowardly or Selfish

Glory, Wisdom, Love, or Power

How would you like to be known to history:

The Wise, The Good, The Bold, The Great

Listener Feedback:

Ben Straughan - Beau, You are not alone in your interest with all things piratical and nautical. I love taking my Old Dominion clay pipe from Missouri Meerschaum to the annual Piratefest that’s held where I live because what’s a pirate without his pipe? My pirate name is Lobster Pot Larry and my fiancée goes by the name Tinker the Terrible. I do this in addition to practicing axe and sword combat which I get to take to renaissance/medieval/pirate fairs along with some friends of mine. I was curious, does Captain Jorvik still sail the Sea of Thieves? I’d be honoured to serve as a part of your crew and should you be in need of a new voice aboard the Banshee’s Blade or anywhere else, I would be delighted to help however I can. I went to school for and have been working on the radio for 6 years in addition to doing voice overs and screen/stage acting. Thank you for your time and I hope you have a wonderful day.

Pipe Question: I really enjoy listening to Country Squire Radio. I am sitting here watching Bilbo smoke his pipe at the beginning of “The Hobbit”. It made me think of a question. Some of us like vintage tobacco. What are the oldest, original, blends still being produced today? By family, like Virginias, Vapers, Balkan, etc.? Thanks to both of you for a wonderful virtual pipe club! - Ryan Miller

Listener Feedback:

(Kane) Good Evening Gents, I’m currently smoking Northwest Trek out of my Missouri Meerschaum up here in good ol Peoria, Illinois. I must say that this blend is maybe my new favorite. I was hoping you could lead to some similar blends so to add to my collection.

Also, it inspired me to go Squire Select on this but in reverse order. I created a cocktail that I think pairs well with the cocktail. It’s kind of the Frankenstein mix between a Black Manhattan and a Brooklyn with some coffee flavors added in.

2 oz FEW Cold Cut Bourbon

1 oz Amaro Averna

1/4 oz Maraschino Liqueur

1/4 oz Mr Black Coffee Liqueur

1 dash orange bitters

I appreciate all that you guys do as you’ve been a integral part of my pipe smoking journey. Keep up the good work. - Kane

From The Library: David Foster Wallace’s 2005 Kenyon College Commencement Address Oct 05, 2022

Episode 476: The Library or Study has long been the haven of the contemplative pipe smoker. In our ‘From The Library’ series, we take a look into the musings, writings, poetry, and more that pique our interest and consider the mind of the author and how we can, or perhaps can’t, relate from our own experience. This week: David Foster Wallace’s 2005 Kenyon College Commencement Address

Pipe Question: (From Frank) Can I damage my pipe with a pipe cleaner? Specifically the metal piece inside the cleaner. I recently used some…let’s say, sub quality cleaners and noticed the metal in the middle was exposed and sharpish to the touch. I inserted into my pipe but could swear I felt a scratching occurring on the inside of the pipe and thus my soul…. Did I damage anything? Could I damage anything? Please help! - Frank

Quick Fire Questions: N/A

Listener Feedback:

Dear Beau and Jon David, Earlier today I ordered a fifth of Cedar Ridge Bourbon and had it sent to the Squire, and I wanted to let you guys know a little bit about it. Whether or not you decide to include it in a future Squire Select, I wanted to share a little bit of Iowa with you. Iowa is one of my homes (which has also included Oklahoma, northeast Italy, Chicago, and Ethiopia), and, if I’m being honest, I am surprised at how I’ve come to love and appreciate the people and the land as much as I do. It is truly a great place to raise a family. That said, although I have had this whiskey in a handful of mixed drinks at various restaurants, I hadn’t tried it straight until I ordered some for myself alongside my order for you guys. I’m told that it is the best whiskey made in Iowa, and that it wins awards nationally. I’m interested to hear your thoughts. Enjoy, and thanks for the community that you’ve cultivated at CSR. P.S. - Jon David, I wanted to thank you for your patience and your kindness as I stuttered and stammered in front of you at the pipe show. Such is my personality that, although I’m sure that you can both enjoy/appreciate and be irritated by folks coming up to you at events, all I can think is that I’m probably being a nuisance, which distracts me from what I’m saying (which, ironically, actually makes me more of a nuisance that if I didn’t worry about it!). I imagine that one of the more unexpected challenges of hosting a popular and long-running podcast is that folks (like me) can know quite a bit about you, and can feel like they do know you, while you, of course, know essentially nothing about them, and don’t know them at all. Anyway, I’m glad I got to meet you and thank you in person for how you and Beau have helped me over the last couple of years. Your brother in Christ, John

Tobacoo Talk: Crumble Kake Barrel Aged No. 4 & C&D- Morning Light Sep 28, 2022

What would a pipe tobacco podcast be without a good deal of pipe tobacco reviews? Loose leaf, tin, and even the hard to find stuff will all find their way into our pipes and into our heads as we review the entirety of each pipe tobacco from the packaging, marketing, tin note, texture, flavor, and smoke. This week: Crumble Kake Barrel Aged No. 4 & C&D- Morning Light Pipe Question: (From Frank) Got a show question for you. If you could turn back time… if you could find a way…. What episode/topic would you ‘take back’. That is to say, is there any episode you wish you could revisit due to feeling that you either didn’t do the topic justice or were just plain wrong about something? Maybe nothing! Afterall you guys are the best! But if you could…. What would it be? - Frank Quick Fire Questions: N/A Listener Feedback: (From the other pipe smoking Steve) Hello JD and Bo, I found the country squire store/and podcast about 6 months ago. I am slowly working my way through the country squire blends and have enjoyed them all. The 50th anniversary blend being my favorite so far. I have really enjoyed and learned A LOT from the podcast. Its interesting that my pipe journey sounds a lot like others I've heard on the show. I bought my first basket pipe about twenty years ago and have put it down and picked it back up several times over the years. It was my NEED to slow my mind down during meditation and prayer that brought me back to the pipe this last time. It was during a frustrating evening trying to connect with God on my back porch that the idea of 'the pipe' miraculously popped into my mind. I dont even know why because up to that point everytime I tried smoking it, it just ended in searing tung burn that lasted days. I give God the credit for turning me back to the pipe and slowing my mind down so I could start having some real conversations with him or sit in meditation and try to hear what he is trying to tell me. Also during this time I have of course been catching up on country squire radio. I started with the 2015 episodes and just now on 4-29-22 got caught up to the current one in Miami. You guys feel like family. It sounds like you are intentionally trying to keep that vibe while introducing new ideas for shows, after all one must change in order to grow. Excellent idea I hope you can do it...so far I love all of the ideas yall are putting on air. Be careful you dont let the show grow too big, you will never be able to downsize it. It will just start to implode on itself if you do lose the small town Jackson feel. FYI...I live in Nashville now but I am from just down the interstate from you guys, West Monroe Louisiana. There is nothing wrong with small town USA. A lot of days I wish I could be back there. Anyway I have a problem I need help with. For the past six months I've been listening to about a show a day, sometimes two. Mostly on the drive home in the evenings I can listen to a whole show and it makes me forget about the long drive. So I'm gonna need yall to crank out 1 show everyday now. As far as I know this is the only podcast in existence and it checks all the boxes for me! LOL!!! Just kidding of course but it will be difficult waiting a week to hear from you guys again. Thanks for what you do, love yall. I will hopefully be able to make the pilgrimage one day soon. God bless, - The other pipe smoking Steve

Squire Select: Boodles Rhubarb Strawberry Gin Sep 21, 2022

We are mixing it up again this week! In the classic style of Squire Select we are pairing a spirit (Boodles Rhubarb Strawberry Gin) with some quality pipe tobacco, but wait, as they say...there's more! We then use that same spirit to create a cocktail and see how it changes the pairing selection. Pipe Question: (from Alex) About Nicotine Content: I always loved aromatics many because My girlfriend and kids love the smell but i've always wanted to smoke something stronger I dabbled into some darker Periques and BURLEYS but found the nicotine kick was too strong Other blends like Old Joe Krantz Old Dark Fired and Irish Flake i heard are very strong too What can i mix with them to lower the nicotine as i want to smoke them I love my Carter Hall Would that tone them down a bit. Quick Fire Questions: You’ve got 1 magical hour. 1 magical hour to be anywhere in the world with 1 hours worth of music, 1 hours worth of pipe tobacco, 1 beverage and 1 pipe. Listener Feedback: (From Jeremy) Just got a chance to listen to latest episode on Calico Jack. Loved it. Listened to it on my way home from a job site and Friday nights are family movie nights in the Dukes household. The boys chose a Netflix animated movie called The Sea Beast. It’s a lot of swashbuckling fun in the vein of Moby Dick, and I couldn’t help but think about you and your love for all things pirates. . Not sure what your kids are into but it’s worth the watch. Hope all is well!

Pipe Smoking 101: Is It Necessary to Have a Dedicated Pipe? Sep 07, 2022

There are no stupid questions, just stupid people, and two of them are hosting this podcast! Thankfully if there is one thing they know better than most it’s best practices for new pipe smokers. Here we do our best to set you up on your pipe journey right with the spirit of mentorship and community that the Country Squire is renowned for. This week: Is It Necessary to Have a Dedicated Pipe? Pipe Question: (From Charles Nygaard) Vauen 9mm filters are blue on one end. Does it matter which way you put them in your pipe? Are they directional? I have not been able to find any info anywhere. But I have found no difference either way.Keep up the great work Quick Fire Questions: From Joda * Media Edition * Cassette or Vinyl * Vinyl or CD * CD or Digital Songs(iTunes, MP3, WAV, AAC, etc) * Digital or Streaming (Spotify, Pandora, Apple Music, etc) * Podcast or radio Listener Feedback: (From John Coatney) I wanted to encourage you guys regarding the several new series you’ve recently started - especially the Father to Father series. As a father of four young boys (ages 7, 6, 4, and 2), I thought that in the most recent episode you guys provided an edifying, thought-provoking, and (most appreciated) vulnerable conversation that went beyond anything I’ve heard on CSR to date - and, given that you guys have provided a consistently high quality product, that’s saying something. I’m really looking forward to future Father to Father episodes. God bless you guys. Keep up the great work! Peace, John

The Finer Things: The Speakeasy Aug 31, 2022

Every once in a while you kinda want to go big or go home. Problem is, if you are going to spend a little extra, you want to make sure you get quality, authenticity, and a true premium experience.

This place was once known for its roots in the national blues movement, as musicians came from all Six Wards of Houston to play at Reddi Room. Our mission is to preserve this history through local Jazz Music, Cocktails, and the fellowship of all people. We will make a memory with you.

Formerly ‘Heroes of the Bowl’, The Half Bowl Histories series takes a look into the history, lore, and legacy of individuals, places, and events of interest that helped shape the world we know today for good and for ill. Here we get a chance to revisit some of the famous pipe smokers we’ve covered in the past and shift the focus from what they loved to who they were and the complexities of their lives.

I listen to it weekly. With Jon David & Beau’s Legends of the pipe series or whatever name they change it to I have a candidate they may be interested in. Shelby Foote is a renowned author who I think is from Mississippi. He wrote the popular civil war a narrative and was on ken burns the civil war documentary form the 90s’s. He was always smoking a pipe. (From James) I would like to suggest Charles nelson Reilly for a pipe smoker episode. He was an actor/comedian and was on Match Game for many years and was often smoking his pipe during the show. (From David LaMontaine) I’m really enjoying your podcast on pirates. Maybe think about doing one on legendary marine general and pipe smoke Lewis “Chesty” Puller.

I’m enjoying the new things you’ve been doing. You always keep it interesting. Regarding Squire Select. Or Tobacco reviews Not sure where this idea would fall. I’m sure many here, also enjoy cigars. So John David. After that wonderful early Sunday dinner. You sit down with a bowl full of your favorite Virginia. Or whatever for example. Maybe it’s a Latakia. A few hours later, your ready for your favorite brown water and a cigar. You still remember that wonderful Virginia from earlier. So what cigar should you follow it with? Or vice versa. With pipe tobacco to follow that afternoon cigar? Quick Fire Questions: (From Jeremy) Hey Beau and Jon David, For me, there’s nothing quite like finding that “perfect” new pipe. Whether it’s the 1st, 4th, or 40th, I deliberate and choose each one specifically for one reason or another. Imagine yourself standing before a massive never ending wall of pipes. Each section moves and changes based on your preferences. (Matrix style) How do you choose? Here are some quick fire pipe questions that I go through each time I’m looking for that new pipe: 1) Artisan or manufactured 2) Name brand or “I’m feelin’ lucky!” 3)Smooth or rusticated/blasted 4)Dark color finish or light color finis Listener Feedback: (From Alex Mirzoeff) Jon David & Beau Its my pleasure to be a part of Country Squire Radio pipecast as a Patreon Club Pipesz Member on the Pilgrim Level.

Details: Las Vegas International Pipe Show - The Premiere Show for Pipe Enthusiasts (vegaspipeshow.com) Pipe Question: (From Jack Roady) Howdy, Beau and Jon David! I need your recommendations, please. Thanks to the magic of DNA testing, I recently learned that I am 51% Scot -- which came as a complete suprise. I now find myself wanting to fully explore my heritage, and the journey will of course require an appropriate pipe and tobacco of Scottish descent. Would you be so kind as to steer me in the right direction? I'm looking for both pipe recommendations (I currently enjoy the Bing's Favorite and any bent bulldog design) and tobacco recommendations (preferably non-aromatics). Thanks so much for your help -- looking forward to discovering new favorites! Quick Fire Questions: From Jeremy 5)Straight or bent 6)Acrylic or vulcanite/ebonite stem 7)Large bowl or small bowl 8)Symmetrical or Asymmetrical design Listener Feedback: (From Nick Valdez) Hey fellas! I hope everyone is well. Listening to the recent “Miami Mailbag” episode & I wanted to point out something: you guys had this feeling that your being in Miami is more of a detour; however, Miami (aka North Cuba) might be (have been) a great place for you all to involve some topics relating to cigars - particularly Cuban cigars. As ambassadors of the tobacco leaf, you both are in a position to bring these types topics to the table, especially in a city like Miami. Cubaño people have a rich history & culture relating to the tobacco leaf industry. I feel you may have missed an opportunity to visit/explore some of those references. Regardless, your show is always great. You guys are amazing & please keep up the excellent work/product. - Nick

While I have a few favorites that I can still restock, I am in need of some new favorites. Can you guys recommend some good blends for the hobbyist who hasn't had the means to buy tobacco for a while now? Thanks for the help and the shows that help get me through the work day.

Had to contact you. I love learning art history from Beau! It was fun! Actually, turns out that Monet was a foodie, too! His lunches were well known and attended. Only downer was that everyone had to leave after lunch at a specified time so they didn’t interfere with his work! Good episode! Thanks, Randy Westbrook (From Charlie Young) Hey ya’ll, Enjoying the show! Regarding JD’s story about Magic cards I just wanted to pile on… When I was about 12 years old I somehow talked my dad into buying me a starter deck of Magic cards. Upon getting home my mom wanted to take a look at them and long story short she ended up making me cut each of them in half and throw them in the trash. Icing on the cake was that saga was the basis for her Sunday school lesson the following Sunday I’ll never think of Magic cards without that memory -Charlie Young, North Carolina

Details: Las Vegas International Pipe Show - The Premiere Show for Pipe Enthusiasts (vegaspipeshow.com) Pipe Question: (From Jeremy Dukes) Hey Beau and Jon David, Erin and I went out to do a trip in the Bourbon Trail last week for my birthday. I’d never been and I cannot praise it enough. All the tours we took were exquisite and informational. Plus, the tastings were amazing. Buffalo Trace (and more specifically Eagle Rare) is my favorite distiller and blend, and we were fortunate enough to tour their facilities. If you’ve never been, you must put it on your bucket list. Worth every hour of my trip many times over. My question though is this: during the tastings they gave us a small piece of chocolate for a palate cleanser, but our guide actually got us to take a bite of the chocolate and then a swig of Buffalo Trace. It was like I’d never tasted Buffalo Trace before! It enhanced so many flavors of the whiskey that I’d never recognized prior. So…the question…..would a tobacco blend with notes of chocolate (let’s say Polar Express) have a like affect on my palate when I drink a glass of whiskey? Hope you both are well and enjoying your “Lunting America Tour”. Best wishes from my family to yours. -jeremy Quick Fire Questions: John Coatney Confirmed Pipe SMokers of Fiction & Literature Edition Henry Mitchell (the dad) or George Wilson (the neighbor) (Dennis the Menace) The Wind in the Willows or Curious George Tony Stark or Professor X Meriadoc Brandybuck or Peregrin Took Listener Feedback: (From Eric Karloski in GR) Beau?

Pipe Smoking 101: Getting Started with $1K... wait what!? Jul 13, 2022

There are no stupid questions, just stupid people, and two of them are hosting this podcast! Thankfully if there is one thing they know better than most it’s best practices for new pipe smokers. Here we do our best to set you up on your pipe journey right with the spirit of mentorship and community that the Country Squire is renowned for. This week: Getting Started with $1,000!? Pipe Question: (From Joshua) Hey John David. Was wondering if you already haven’t if you could explain semois pipe tobacco. Yeah have seen it several times and am intrigued. Joshua Warwick - Twin Falls, Idaho QFQ: (From Pastor Joda) So, my brothers, I present to you “Will it Pipe Tobacco?” The concept is simple, I present a list of flavor profiles and you debate whether or not it would fly as a tobacco blend. It’s not necessarily you dump proposed flavor on the tobacco, though that may be the “case(ing)”. But if there is a way to deliver the flavor with some other form of Tobacco Alchemy, then that is acceptable as well. I realize you may find this idea quite lame and place it directly in the trash folder, if so, no problemo. Will it pipe tobacco? • Maple and applewood smoked bacon • Fireball Candy • Juniper forward Gin • Muscadine • Basil • Peanut butter and jelly Listener Feedback: (From David) Greetings and Salutations JD and Beau! I am a relatively new listener, having discovered your podcast barely a month ago, while searching the google for information on corn cob pipe customization. I have been devouring your podcast episodes exclusively during my workday, It wasn’t until listening to an episode from just prior to New Years Eve, and you mentioned the new year being 2017 that I realized that I was listening to a 5+ year old episodes…(facepalm). I now listen to the most current episode that’s been released and then go back and continue catching up. I love the way you two interact with other and avoid “current events in the news”. It’s also refreshing that your podcast is not scrubbed of any reference of religion or being religious. It’s OK to love Jesus. I just listened to the episode discussing the history of the pipe cleaner. The nerd in me enjoyed it much more than I should have. I’ll check out the “How It’s Made” you mentioned being on YouTube this evening. I look forward to being able to support the show financially, but until then I’ll continue to enjoy it like those free pipe cleaners in your shop!

Half Bowl Histories: Calico Jack Jul 06, 2022

You might know him by the names John Rackham, Jack Rackham, or simply Calico Jack, a pipe smoking pirate of history that I present to you as the world's first Millennial Pirate. Let me explain... Country Squire Radio's 'Half Bowl Histories' series takes a look into the history, lore, and legacy of individuals, places, and events of interest that helped shape the world we know today for good and for ill. Here we get a chance to revisit some of the famous pipe smokers we’ve covered in the past and shift the focus from what they loved to who they were and the complexities of their lives. Pipe Question - (From E) Hi! I love listening to your podcast, discovered it recently and it has been great. I had a question about blends like Early Morning pipe. I like this blend, but ultimately feel it would be better without the latakia. I don't mind a bit here and there, but I'm not a massive fan of latakia. I read somewhere that the blend used to be done without the latakia...by Dunhill, sometime a while ago. I don't know why they changed it, but it's left me craving the nice sweet, smooth flavors without that bit of smokiness. Would you be able to point me in the direction of something like E.M.P without L? Or failing that, if I was to try and mix it myself, what type of Virginia would I need with oriental leaf? Keep up the amazing work, love this resource. E Listener Feedback - (From Scott McCrate) I loved the Jacques Cousteau episode, I was really hooked on his television show as a kid. I have to say you missed one of the best jokes and clues in The Life Aquatic, Cousteau's vessel was the Calypso, in Life Aquatic it was the Belafonte. Harry Belafonte was a famous Calypso singer! I love The Life Aquatic! (From Watson) Beau and Jon David, I want you to know how much I enjoy the show and your dynamic as co-hosts. I think you two could talk about almost anything and it would be listenable based solely on your personalities. As a heavily accented southerner, I also appreciate listening to kindred voices speaking with so much knowledge on a subject. The reason I am contacting you is to recommend someone for the segment formerly known as "Hero of the Bowl." One of the biggest champions of the briar for me has always been Aldo Leopold. He is considered the father of wildlife ecology and was an accomplished writer. He was often photographed with a pipe and they were a constant companion of his while working in the field. Among his many accomplishments is the conceptualization of a "land ethic" which calls for ethical and sustainable use of natural resources. His most popular book, A Sand County Almanac, is a classic and among the first texts those of us studying Wildlife and Conservation read in college. It is certainly worth spending some time reading this book outdoors with a nice billiard early in the morning...quite possibly the very situation in which it was written. I recommend it as a text that many of your listeners may find interesting and I think they would appreciate learning more about Aldo Leopold himself. Thank you for so many great hours of content. You two (and Brian over at Pipes Magazine Radio Show) have unknowingly spent many hours on the road with me as I commute. My car's interior has assumed the scent of your Cherokee blend. Keep up the solid work on all fronts.... - Cheers, Watson

From The Library: The Miracle of Mindfulness Jun 29, 2022

The Library or Study has long been the haven of the contemplative pipe smoker. In our ‘From The Library’ series, we take a look into the musings, writings, poetry, and more that pique our interest and consider the mind of the author and how we can, or perhaps can’t, relate from our own experience. This week: “The Miracle of Mindfulness” by Thich Nhat Hanh Pipe Question: (From MarkVV) Captain Jorvik and Jon David, Ahoy, fellas! I have a query for both of you! So often Beau is left high and dry on this so I wanted to ask something of him to be inclusive! Jon David. Do different types of tobacco leaf, for instance, bright leaf and red Virginias, age differently or faster than others? Or is it purely a question of sugar content in the leaf? Or both? Or something else? And Beau. If you really were Captain Jorvik of the Seven Seas, what tobacco would you envision your pirate-self smoking? It can be period appropriate or modern, like Country Squire Treasure Island. As always, I hope you both are well, as well as your dear families. Hope to cross paths soon. Your friend, Mark VV Listener Feedback: (From Chables) Beau! Jon David! Hope yall are well! Hope to get to see yall at some point soon what with covid dying down and such. I wanted to say how tickled i was to hear my name in the St Ives drawing. Not gonna lie, i was having a rough end to a rough year, but that really made my day that day and put a smile on my face like yall do so often.

Tobacco Talk: Amphora Original and 4th Generation Morning Blend Jun 22, 2022

What would a pipe tobacco podcast be without a good deal of pipe tobacco reviews? Loose leaf, tin, and even the hard to find stuff will all find their way into our pipes and into our heads as we review the entirety of each pipe tobacco from the packaging, marketing, tin note, texture, flavor, and smoke. This week it's time for Mac Baren's Amphora Original Blend & Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation Morning Blend Pipe Question - (From J.A.Grff) Hey Beau and JD! Being a fan of both pipes and cigars I've been following the stillwell star line of cigars that are premium cigars blended with pipe tobacco that is a colab between Steve Saka and Jeremy Reeves(Cornell and diel). Wondering if you guys have any experience with these cigars, im real curious about them because of the collaboration with Cornell and Diehl. QFQ - Just one question: Aquaman Controls Fishlife, The Purpleman Speaks and anyone will do what he says. Let’s combine these powers: (Surprise Question for JD eobardces) Listener Feedback - (From Aaron) Hey Guys, Just wanted to say that I really enjoy listening to your Podcast. I am a sales rep for a liquor and wine distribution company and I drive a lot and stumbled upon your podcast a few years ago and it didn’t take me long to catch up on all of the episodes. I don’t smoke my pipe(s) very often but have a very respectable pipe stand with an array of pipes of different shapes and I try to sit down with a pipe a couple times a month (weather permitting) Anyways, I just wanted to reach out and say hello from Northern Minnesota. I am really looking forward to your new episodes in 2022, especially all of your new series that you will be adding. Keep up the great work guys and feel free to reach out any time to talk pipes, tobacco, life or good quality liquor (our company represents Punchers Chance whiskey and I laughed the entire episode you guys reviewed it)

Father To Father: Legacy Jun 08, 2022

Step into the Country Squire Tobacconist on any given day and you’re likely to find a group of diverse men of all ages sharing their lives, triumphs, and troubles, over a bowl of quality pipe tobacco. In our Father To Father series, we try to capture the realness of conversation you find at your local pipe shop as we share our experience navigating fatherhood as two dads of young kids. Pipe Question - (From Kirk) Hey guys I'm a long time listener. Been pipe smoking for roughly 13 years and I started listening I think on your 3rd or 4th episode years ago. My question is, is there a certain temp where pipes should be stored? I have a large rack in my living room that is full and I'm looking at getting a couple more to store the pipes I don't smoke as often and will have to keep it in my basement, which is unfinished and cold in the winter and muggy in the summer. Just curious if anything would happen to my pipes that are stored there. Always enjoy your show. Kirk QFQ - (From Pastor Joda) So here’s a twist for you. I’m thinking of the way you have relaunched some things this year, what about a deep thoughts version of QFQ? What advice would you give to your 23 year old self? Listener Feedback - (From Caleb of the OFF podcast) Hey Beau! The most recent Father to Father episode came out on my daughter's 10th birthday. Waking up this morning and reflecting on the day I became a father was only enhanced by hearing your memories as well. I feel like I shared a special day with you guys! (From John) Gentlemen, I am, in fact, one of the listeners you've mentioned recently - I've been working to catch up on older episodes (selectively), and only in the last few days been listening to the most recent episodes as well. I want to thank you for the work you're doing, as I've been enjoying it immensely. The recent Father to Father episode was outstanding. Thank you for being willing to put yourselves out there. I know that it encouraged and edified me, and I can't be the only one. As a 40 year-old father of four young boys (7, 6, 4, and 2), I relate to much of what you discussed. Please, please keep it up. I'll try not to go overlong in telling about how I got into pipe smoking (and by all means, use what you like, if any, and cut what you like), but I bought my first pipe (a Szabo) in Budapest, Hungary, when I was on temporary duty as a Soldier and Officer in the U.S. Army (Veterinary Corps). I was stationed in Vicenza, Italy, and began collecting pipes at that time (in 2007). However, over time the pipes ended up in a box in the closet, and when we moved to Ethiopia in 2019 as members of Christian Veterinary Mission, the pipes stayed in storage here in the States. However, when we'd been in Ethiopia for about a month, I was invited into a theological social media group in which most of the guys smoked pipes, and I deeply regretted not bringing any pipes or tobacco with me. Then, in 2020, we had to leave Ethiopia due to COVID, and have been unable to return due to a subsequent civil war. I've taken a temporary research position at a veterinary school here in the States, and have been able to appreciate smoking a pipe again. Needless to say, if and when we're able to return to Ethiopia in the near future (God willing), I'll be taking as much pipe smoking materiel as my wife allows. One final note - a couple weeks back I was doing a much needed tobacco inventory, and I realized that, after Cornell & Diehl and Ken Byron Ventures, I have significantly more Country Squire tobacco than any other blender. You guys have great stuff across the board, but Cowboy Coffee is my go to smoke. My order of Whale Song is arriving today, and I can't wait. Once again: Keep up the great work! Peace,

Top 3 Virginia Tobaccos May 25, 2022

Our take on the internet's most overused clickbait tool. Each episode of the Top 3 series, we will count down our Top 3 favorite… well… just about anything. So far we have covered Tin Art, Pipe Carvers To Watch, Breakfast Blends, and more! Don’t be surprised if Coffees, Whiskeys, and a few other beloved items find their way into this series as well. This week: Top 3 Virginia Tobaccos Pipe Question: Mr JD, I’ve been looking at a Missouri Meerschaum General. Since it has a deeper bowl, can I just stuff more tobacco in and smoke longer, or does the depth and larger amount of tobacco cause the bottom leaf to soak up more moisture, become soggier and counterproductive to a long smoke? Do you have any thoughts on straight vs bent for a longer, dryer smoke? On average, with my Peterson straight Bulldog, I’ll smoke Country Squire Seersucker (delicious by the way) about 45min till it goes out. Also, I live in West Texas and the wind regularly sustains 20+mph, gusting into 40+, and I work outside. Is that expecting too much of a windcap to be effective or you think it’ll work? Seriously, thanks for being my virtual tobacconist since there’s NO pipe shop within 6 hours to me. Really excited for the new shows! Here’s to another year of pipe smoking! - Derek J. QFQ - Collectables Edition Did/do you collect cards, if so what kind? Did/do you collect toys, if so what kind? Did/do you collect comics, if so what kind? Did/do you collect movies/records/etc, if so what kind? If you answered no to all of these, is there anything besides pipes that you collect? Listener Feedback: (From Joel) Allo boys! Wanted to let you know how much your show has contributed to my enjoyment of smoking my pipes! The two biggest take-aways - the two things that have completely changed my enjoyment of pipes and pipe tobacco for the better are: 1) Tamp dat ash! - I always had trouble either keeping my pipe lit OR packing it too tightly. Now, because of your show, I have a Czech tool as part of my EDC - I can tamp and pick as needed to get the proper burn at all times! Thank you! 2)Pipe cleaner after every bowl - this has been a game changer! I used to have to deep-clean my pipes after just a few bowls - bristled pipe cleaners and whisky to really scrub the gunk out! Even had to do the salt method a couple of times! This had the effect of me not wanting to smoke, because I didn’t want to clean! …….Now, again - because of your show, I run a pipe cleaner through the stem and around the inside of the bowl after every smoke, and I just gotta say - this has made ALL the difference in the world!!! Armed with my tamp and pipe cleaner, I fear no pipe nor tobacco! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Fantastic show - as ever!

Pipe Smoking 101: Getting Started with $100 May 18, 2022

There are no stupid questions, just stupid people, and two of them are hosting this podcast! Thankfully if there is one thing they know better than most it’s best practices for new pipe smokers. Here we do our best to set you up on your pipe journey right with the spirit of mentorship and community that the Country Squire is renowned for. This week: Getting Started with $100 Pipe Question: (From Steve Dover) Hey guys - I have been on my pipe journey since November 2021 and have been playing catchup on past podcasts (love them all by the way). These podcasts are the perfect length to allow me to listen to a couple each day during my daily commute. I recently enjoyed episode #259 where you discussed the then recent acquisition of Peterson Pipes by Laudisi Distribution Group. I would be interested to get your opinion - almost 3 years post acquisition - as to how much has changed, and if it has been good or bad. In the episode, JD expressed a concern about the overall quality of their pipes. Since the acquisition are you seeing improvement? Also, I would be interested in knowing if they have improved their relationship and support of B&M's. Are there other things you were looking forward to seeing that have not developed yet? Thank you both for putting out a quality product that is as entertaining as it is educational. I can't wait to drive down to Jackson and visit The Country Squire. Hope to see you soon. God Bless, Listener Feedback: (From Wes) I was listening to your “What it’s like to smoke a pipe” episode. The listener who wrote in about Jacques Cousteau reminded me of an anecdote… I’m a musician doing performance and education work but I’m also a hack instrument builder. I make strange kind of sculptural pieces that I then electrify with pickups as well as more common things like cigar box guitars. One of my influences is this train riding hobo composer from the 40’s named Harry Partsch. He made an orchestra worth of his own musical instrument inventions favoring microtonal music. Harry was a pipe smoker, several of his albums show him photographed with his pipe. So, I was at my local record shop and I picked up a record of his and when I got home there was an inscription inside in his handwriting dedicating the record to none other than Jacques Cousteau! I’ve looked up his signature and other copies of the record to see if it was real and it appears to be. I try to imagine the conversation between these two explorers, one of the sea and one of sound, over a pipe. Anyway, maybe another pipe smoker for you all to explore and consider. He led a wild life.

The Finer Things: Cigars May 11, 2022

Every once in a while you kinda want to go big or go home. Problem is, if you are going to spend a little extra, you want to make sure you get quality, authenticity, and a true premium experience. As pipe enthusiasts, we know that ‘matter matters’ and we all appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into the various pipes and pipe tobaccos available to us. In this series, we will expand our horizons beyond the pipe to discover top shelf products and experiences that bring us joy and up our sophistication game along the way. This week: Cigars! Listener Feedback: (From Brian) Hey guys! You addressed a question of mine on air recently where I asked about what goes into the naming of blends. Jon David talked about how it was often a very personal process. I was struck when I saw Whale Song appear on the Country Squire website. The name didn't immediately resonate with me, until I read the description. When I realized it was a limited edition made up of McClelland ingredients and that it was a Virginia-Perique (which I know to be among Jon David's favorite styles of blends), I began to realize what the name really meant. Whale Song. Not only evocative of that iconic crested whale image on the cover of so many McClelland tins, but also suggestive of the barely audible song whales use to mourn the loss of family members. This is representative of what a blend name can be. Simple, poetic, like a haiku.

Half Bowl Histories: Claude Monet May 04, 2022

Country Squire Radio's 'Half Bowl Histories' series takes a look into the history, lore, and legacy of individuals, places, and events of interest that helped shape the world we know today for good and for ill. Here we get a chance to revisit some of the famous pipe smokers we’ve covered in the past and shift the focus from what they loved to who they were and the complexities of their lives. This week, famed painter and pipe smoker: Claude Monet Pipe Question: (From Joel) Hey guys! First off - I LOVE the “Father to Father” series! - especially the most recent one. Thanks for being honest and vulnerable and telling it how it is for all of us dads! Next - I bought a nice pipe rack from a seller on eBay, and it came with a bunch of pipes. Two of these are EA Carey “Magic inch” pipes. They have a perforated area on the stem that lets in cool air - and they take a “papyrate” paper filter. It’s really strange, but I have to say - both of these pipes smoke really well! After I cleaned them up and sterilized them, I have really enjoyed them. Just wondered if Jon David had any experience with these pipes. Any road - as always - absolutely love your podcast! Like riding around with two good friends! Thank you! Listener Feedback: (From Chaz) I just received my order of Whale Song in the mail today and I have to say, it was a world class "unboxing" experience. I've gotten several orders from The Country Squire and I always appreciate the hand-written note, but today's delivery was truly exceptional. The accompanying card with the tasting notes, pairings from Tea, to Coffee, to Cocktails was really helpful and a next level touch. Congrats to Quinn. I purchased enough to smoke now with some to cellar, and I can't wait to enjoy this. I love the show, I love the shop and I have to tell you, listening has even been a catalyst in re-connecting me to the faith. I love that I can listen to your show without fear of what might come across the speakers when my grandkids are in the car! Keep up the great work and thanks for making this service available!

Lore of the Ring: A Chat with Jeremy Dukes of Sylvan Forge Creations Oct 06, 2021

As you know, we have been teasing out a very precious item that will be announced later this week on the podcast but we wanted to give you all here first access! We have partnered with the amazingly talented and quality folks at Sylvan Forge Creations to bring you The Country Squire Ring! The Country Squire ring is handcrafted from Italian briar (Bruyere) harvested by the world-reknowned artisan Mimmo! The honey-hued briar wood is outlined with elegant gold bands on either side, reminiscent of traditional pipe filigree. All inlayed into a beautiful, smooth black ceramic ring core. From ring crafter, woodworker, and pipe enthusiast Jeremy Dukes, The Country Squire Ring is a simple, sophisticated design that speaks volumes about the wearer. “A pipe is the fountain of contemplation, the source of pleasure, the companion of the wise..." This Maker's Exclusive (limited edition) ring was created in partnership with Country Squire Radio and is only available for a short time. In the ring crafters own words: “The Country Squire ring becomes a way to bring the world and culture of our beloved hobby with us, and represents our community to others. It is a symbol of a common passion for pipe smoking and that bond. It does, in a small way, unite our community further, just as Country Squire Radio has done on a large scale. It is a piece of conversation AND representation. "When you smoke a pipe, you're making a statement", right? This ring furthers that statement.” We are honored to partner with Sylvan Forge Creations as they bring 4 generations of woodworking behind them as well as a passion for bringing the peace, strength, and beauty of nature into a form we can take with us. You’ll learn more about Jeremy Dukes, Sylvan Forge Creations, and the story behind the Country Squire Ring on this week’s episode of CSR but for now head over to the website and order yours today as they will only be available for a limited time. Also, they have ring sizing guides if you need assistance. Order yours today: https://www.sylvanforgecreations.com/product-page/country-squire

The Piper of The Pipery: A Chat with Dave Shain Jun 30, 2021

Dave Shain started smoking a pipe back in 2007. He loved everything about the hobby, the tobacco, the tastes, the pipes, and the community. Between local pipe smoking friends and online groups he learned a great deal about proper methods and where to buy tobaccos. As his passion for the hobby grew so did his desire to teach others just as he had been taught. Early on, Dave learned about restoring pipes. It was a great way to get pipes that he might not otherwise be able to afford. Dave found great fulfillment in taking old pipes well loved by their previous owners and restoring them to their former glory. Pipe restoration took Dave to places he never thought possible, and in 2017 Dave won the Master of Pipes award from the Chicago Pipe Collectors Club for Dave’s charitable works through The Free Pipe Project. The Free Project was started by Dave in order to help new pipe smokers and those in our military, especially those deployed get their hands on quality restored pipes and tobaccos. The idea came from Dave’s firsthand experience of generosity and care from the wider pipe community when he was a new smoker. Since the first box went out over 4 years ago, Dave and the pipe community have sent out over 400 pipes and 100 pounds of tobacco to new pipe smokers and our military. The project and interacting with pipes smokers from all over the world has given Dave a passion to take his pipe journey to the next level. That is where the idea for this site came from, helping pipe and cigar smokers find products to enhance their smoking journeys whether it be new pipes, estate pipes, vintage tobaccos, cigar accessories, or other merchandise. Dave’s vision is to have a pipe shop like of old, a one stop shop for all of your smoking needs.

Father The Flame Documentary Review Jun 12, 2019

JD and Beau watch and review this long awaited celebration of artisan pipes! Official Film Description: For centuries, the tobacco pipe has been a symbol of contentment and contemplation. Through the window of this transcendental artifact and its sacred origins, Father the Flame is a cinematic exploration of legacy, family and love. The film follows Lee Erck, a world-renowned pipe maker from far Northern Michigan, as he travels the globe to explore the nearly forgotten art of tobacco pipe making. Featuring a charming cast of characters-from the royal family of Danish pipe makers, to the Italian briar cutter known as the worlds greatest, to a fourth-generation Native American peace pipe maker- this story speaks to a slower pace of life, a luxury in our sped-up world. Beautiful and hypnotic, Father the Flame immerses the viewer in the cultural and spiritual significance of the tobacco pipe and what it can teach a modern generation about legacy and the things we leave behind.

What Makes An English Blend English May 16, 2018

This episode of Country Squire Radio is brought to you by Missouri Meerschaum and the Tin Society. We thank them for supporting this show, and we thank you for supporting them.

Episode 249: What Makes an English Blend English Welcome & Housekeeping: Cheerio lads and lasses! Just as a reminder, check out our Patreon page for details on the pipe club-exclusive deals that are going on for the pipes that Jon David brought back from Chicago! Sale runs through the end of May, so get crackin’ before I grab ‘em all! Speaking of the club, new pipe club Squire Carter Imsland joins us, as well as new Patron Mike D. Thanks guys! Also, Beau touches on the viral attack on the Podastery website...which is now back up! Stay tuned for when the archived episodes will be back up, in case you want to take a listen to the origins of the show! Topic: What makes an English Blend English? Well it’s a good thing you asked, because this week Jon David and Beau dive headfirst into this oft confusing and unclear topic! Pipe Question of the Week: Tim Houser writes in “Oh, the Black XX is the worst I’ve ever had! What’s a good rope to try? I love many English Blends and VaPers.” Quick Fire with the Squire: More from Anonymous! Zombie Apocalypse is the theme! #1 Hunker down (JD) or keep moving (Beau) #2 Firearms (JD and Beau, though Beau says both) or melee #3 Build a large group (Beau) or keep in a very tight knit. (JD) #4 Heavy vehicle (Both) or small personal transport #5 Fast zombies or slow zombies (Both) #6 Man is the real monster or no, of course zombies are the real monsters (Both) #7 Last smoke, aromatic (Beau) or english (JD) Listener Feedback: Evilosity on iTunes writes in “Binge worthy! This show has officially changed my life. I have to drop everything, every Monday night to listen live. Entertaining and as intellectual as a show from Mississippi can be. Only thing that would make it better is if they would finally give the fans what they want... BBQ pairing!!!” Doug Owen writes in “On the McClelland discussion, keep in mind those prices of those tins are at least partially a result of the level of local taxes that were levied on those tins in the state where the retailer originally purchased the tins at wholesale. In our situation, due to the 45% tax on the wholesale price of tinned tobaccos the MSRP in the state of Washington is around $35, which clearly put us at a disadvantage in terms of competing for the business against retailers from states with lower taxes. Just a thought. You should know we were attempting to sell at our current MSRP, which due to the draconian tax set up in this state put us at a fatal disadvantage.” Ending & Wrap-up: Just a friendly reminder, as there is no live show next week, there will be a podcast up as normal!

Chicago Pipe Show 2018 May 09, 2018

This episode of Country Squire Radio is brought to you by Missouri Meerschaum and the Tin Society. We thank them for supporting this show, and we thank you for supporting them.

Episode 247: Chicago Pipe Show Wrap-Up Welcome & Housekeeping: Jon David is back from the Chicago Pipe Show! Reminder, the shop is moving in early June, date tentative since demolition in the new space has just begun. Also, Mother’s Day is coming up, so, buy your mother a pipe? New CSR Club members announced (Roger Lord and Andrew Lin), and new plaques are put up on the wall (Corey Hayes and Alex Cairns). Huge thanks guys! Topic: Jon David is back from Chicago and talks all about his experience this year and how he went to the show with a huge dose of apprehension and nervousness, but returned renewed, encouraged, and with lots of optimism (cautious) for the road ahead in regards to the community, blenders, and pipe carvers. He encourages everyone to go at least once in their lifetime. He definitely came home with a trove of pipes, so be on the lookout if you’re looking to snag something from The Country Squire! Pipe Question of the Week: Comes in from yours truly, Mark VV! “Jon David and Beau (or Beau and Jon David), I don't think this is one that has been asked before, or at least not as long as I've listened to the show, unless I missed it which is entirely possible. My friend Randy clued me into something I was not aware of. Baking tobacco. Exactly as it sounds, quite literally throwing an unopened tin of tobacco (be it coin-style or American-style sans plastic lid) into the oven and baking it, usually at 200 degrees Fahrenheit for 2 hours, and then letting it rest for a few weeks. From what I've read, this simulates aging by "stoving". What are your thoughts? Does this work, and how might a blend benefit from it over good old-fashioned time-aging? Or is it just a load of hullabaloo? Thanks, and as always, your friend, Mark VV.” Jon David’s response is somewhat expected, at least to me. He was clear that CSR does not endorse or recommend anyone trying this, but has heard, at least from what he’s read, that this seems to be the case, and that this, baking the tobacco at low temperatures, will simulate a tobacco developing some different flavors. But again, he definitely cautions anyone who is looking to try doing this. Don’t burn ya dang house down people! Quick Fire with the Squire: Comes in from anonymous! #1 Read the book and then see the movie (JD and Beau) or see the movie and then read the book. #2 Historical fiction: emphasis on accuracy (JD) or style (Beau) #3 Scary aliens (JD) or peaceful alien (Beau) #4 Supernatural evil (JD and Beau) or real world evil #5 Comedy slapstick or deadpan (JD and Beau) #6 Happy ending (JD and Beau) or sad ending. Listener Feedback: Blakek on iTunes writes “Great Podcast providing a wealth of info on pipe smoking! JD and Beau have a great dynamic that makes this podcast a joy to listen to. There's great knowledge shared that beneits everyone from novice pipe smoker to veteran. Give it a listen and consider supporting the pipecast on Patreon!” Tim Houser writes in “I would totally leave Megan Fox for the love of a pipe, I’m just sayin’.” Referencing an earlier show, of course. Nelson writes in “Hey guys, just wanted to say ‘great show this week’! They’re all pretty great though! I wanted to give a shoutout to Andrew Lin from Boston who sent you the tobacco. The next time he’s in LJ Peretti’s he should say hello to Nate Davis who works there and is a member of the Sherlock Holmes Pipe Club. Speaking of which, Andrew, why aren’t you a member of the Sherlock Holmes Pipe Club?! Next meeting will be on June 5th, so come on down. Also enjoyed hearing about Benjamin Hornigold. Years ago I was really into the Renaissance Faires and had a couple of pirate costumes.One year we went to the Pirate Faire in Gloucester, Massachusetts, and ran into these guys. Finally Jon David, the movie you were referring to, I believe, was ‘Catch Me If You Can’ with Leonardo DiCaprio. If you have not seen it, you definitely should. Keep up the good work!” Ending & Wrap-up: Please check out the show sponsor websites to learn more about them, and please consider joining the Country Squire Radio Pipe Club.

St. Patrick’s Day Special Mar 14, 2018

This episode of Country Squire Radio is brought to you by Missouri Meerschaum and the Tin Society. We thank them for supporting this show, and we thank you for supporting them.

Episode 240: St. Patrick’s Day Special Welcome & Housekeeping: Jon David and Beau are back! Well...back and recovering from the Bachelor Party! Too much Boodles? Important thing to note, Beau did not upchuck from a cigar and he brought the Boodles! Man, what a guy! Anyway, so on arriving to the Squire, mere minutes before CSR showtime, JD gets a package delivered from Pylorns and inside were wedding gifts! The Austin, San Antonio, and Dallas Pipe Clubs all chipped in and got JD a tin of Escudo from 2016, can of McClelland Christmas Cheer 2016, and an Estate Charatan Pipe! And boy was he stoked. What a crazy, impressive gift from the Texas folks. You guys really rock. On an aside, Beau will be playing Sea of Thieves on XBox/Windows 10, so if you know what that is, and plan on playing, please reach out to him via whatever medium you can, Twitter or e-mail are preferred I’d imagine. To keep it brief, it’s an MMOish crew-style Pirate sailing the seven seas kind of game. Should be a ton of fun. I’m personally already down for this, as well as a few others, so hop on board, swab the poop deck, and drink some rum! Raleigh Pipe Expo Reception Party coming up soon on April 6, from 5-9pm at the Ramada Inn on Blue Ridge Rd. in Raleigh, NC. Additionally, there will be a Pipe Carvers Workshop on the 6th as well. The Pipe & Tobacco Expo is on Saturday April 7th, 9am-4:30pm in the Holshauser Building at the NC State Fairgrounds. And a last FYI, there will be no live shows for 2 weeks following Jon David’s wedding next week, but there will be podcasts, so stay tuned and don’t go anywhere. I’m not sure what this means for the show notes for those that read them. They might be typed up post-podcast. I’m not 100% sure there. Topic: Our resident Pipe Leprechauns Jon David and Beau run all the snakes out of the pipe shop and get a wee bit drunk on this St. Patrick’s Day Special! Okay, maybe they don’t drink, but they do talk green pipes! So grab a shamrock shake, dance a reel with your lass, and tune in to this fantastic jig of an episode! First up, we have Savinelli. The Arcobaleno (means “rainbow” in Italian), has a green model that is very lovely looking. Beautiful emerald-green stain, subtle-gloss finish (or rusticated for those that prefer that), black acrylic stem. Takes a 6mm filter for those that are interested. Also has a nice silver band to compliment. Savinelli also makes a style of pipe called the Alligator, which also has a green option. A very unique rustication is presented here with almost a scaly look. Google is your friend here because it’s impossible to describe accurately. Also has a lovely green stem to go with. And for those hardcore Protestant pipe smokers, the Alligator comes in a really snazzy orange too. Be on the lookout! And for those that love snazzy stems, the Clark’s Favorite has an awesome orange tigerseye swirl stem. Really hot looking! Next up we have Paronelli Pipes. Now while they aren’t as popular these days in America, they do have some eye-popping and eye-catching green stains and patterns on the Colorific and Eurocamo styles. Again, here Google is your friend. They are simply impossible to describe in written format. Genod Pipes from France have newer lines of pipes, around the $100 mark, that feature some brilliant greens. There’s no one specific line of pipes, but many of their style and shapes come in a variety of finishes of which some are green. Lastly, Peterson. The King of the Green Stain! The Racing Green is a really popular and sought after line. I’ll provide a link here, so please, if you see one you like, inquire at your local tobacconist first! (https://www.smokingpipes.com/pipes/new/peterson/index.cfm?tag=53). There’s also the Valentia line that resembles the Racing Green pipes, has a green stain and stem, but are nice and small. Kind of pricey at $150, but it’s a good pocket pipe for what it’s worth. And of course, we have the annual St. Patty’s Day pipe, the 2018 edition, which sports a real snazzy matte green finish with a gorgeous yellow army-mount stem fitted into a nickel-silver band. Also for a personal recommendation, from me, Mark VV, check out the Spigot line. Pretty expensive, but the green stain here is equally snazzy and those spigot mounts are wonderful. If you have the pocketbook for a pricier green pipe, this is not a bad choice at all. Pipe Question of the Week: Dan with Creator’s Design Pipes writes in “Hi Jon David and Beau! Sorry to ask a more serious question, but I’d like to get your thoughts on moderation in drinking. After leaving a church denomination that forbade tobacco and alcohol that I served for 20 years, I’ve joyfully entered into the experience of craft beer and ‘brown water’. As a Christian, I am aware of the scriptures commands to avoid drunkenness, so I’m generally a one-and-done drinker. As men of faith, how do you navigate this issue and enjoy spirits yet in biblical moderation? This is not a trolling question, but an honest and sincere inquiry from a brother who is middle-aged and learning to enjoy alcohol responsibly. Thank you for your thoughts and for the wonderful podcast community you’ve created. In Christ, Dan.” Man, what a question, and what an answer. Please check the whole thing out at timestamp 39:00 on the live show YouTube broadcast which I’ll link below. I won’t have the podcast timestamp since the show ain’t out as of this show note transcription, but I imagine it will be between the 35 and 40 minute mark. The key here is moderation and maintaining control without becoming a slave to the particular vice, and Jon David’s elaboration and explanation is right on the money here. I won’t be able to do it justice in writing, so please, listen to this one. Absolutely incredible. Quick Fire with the Squire: Continuing on with Benjamin McMullen’s list. #1 Ancient Africa (Beau) or Ancient Mesopotamia (JD) #2 History of Medicine or History of Weaponry (JD & Beau) #3 History of Pipes (JD & Beau) or History of Cigars (if you voted for this you are a pilgrim and deserve to be blasphemed...just sayin’) Listener Feedback: A. Wanamaker on iTunes says “Great Information, Cool Hosts: This has quickly become my favorite podcast. It has taught me a lot about pipes, tobacco and culture. The hosts are affable and incredibly knowledgeable. I particularly like that the show is family friendly, I can listen to it with kids around and not have to worry about any uncouth language. Thank you Beau and JD for putting out such a fine quality show, I will be listening whenever I can.” Doug Owen writes in and says “This is a follow-up on Jon David’s story about the customer not buying anything. JD, can I borrow Butch Arthur for the summer? Man, I cannot tell you how many times I have had the same conversation with prospective customer. The vast majority of my clientele are great guys and gals but once in awhile you get the one that just does not make the casual connection between purchasing an item in your store and your ability to stay in business and pay bills. I don’t really think they make that connection in their heads. They may be thinking about guys like you and me as fellow pipe smokers with a lot of expertise and it never crosses their mind that it is important for us to make a living at this as well as have a good time doing it. Anyway, that’s my take on it. I just take it in stride, grit my teeth, and keep on puffin’.” Jim Nelson writes in with the results! “The Country Squire (the horse) takes 4th place in the 7th race of the day at Gulfstream Park. The superfecta pays nearly $300.” C’mon buddy! Outrun that glue factory!

Life After McClelland: A Look At Substitute McClelland Blends and Tins Mar 07, 2018

This episode of Country Squire Radio is brought to you by Missouri Meerschaum and the Tin Society. We thank them for supporting this show, and we thank you for supporting them.

Episode 239: Life After McClelland Welcome & Housekeeping: Jon David and Beau huddle safely in the Country Squire during a torrential downpour and tornado watch. God bless their dedication! Jon David’s wedding is coming up and the bachelor party is this weekend! Pay attention to Beau’s twitter handle for streaming announcements. You might just catch Jon David blending. We wish them a safe and fun weekend! Sadly, Jon David will have to bring the cigars himself. Beau discusses briefly his secret plans for the CSR show whilst Jon David is away on his honeymoon. CSR Club Members have the skinny. Randall Morgan shows up at the shop to attend the live show and brought gifts! Ashton’s Brindle Flake from 1999 for JD and a Jar Jar Binks action figure for Beau. Okay maybe a waterproof pouch for Beau too. And some whiskey! Man, what a guy! Thanks to Randall! Next on the docket. Mark Fresa (sp?) notified JD that at Gulf Stream Park in Ft. Lauderdale Florida on Saturday March 3rd, a horse named The Country Squire came in 10th in the 11th race of the day. We need to all come together, and rally around this special horse. Send your good vibes. We need to keep him out of the glue factory! Triple Crown buddy! Triple Crown! One last thing, last week I missed one new CSR Pipe Club member and we have one this week too. So I’ll mention both this week! Jace Wilkinson and Adam Larkin! Lastly, Benjamin Snell joins on as a Patron. Thanks gentlemen! Topic: As we still reel from the loss of McClelland as a company we know and love, we pivot this week to a brighter future and visit some tobaccos that might be worth trying again, or perhaps trying for the first time, in our individual quests to find new favorites. It’ll be good to explore the world of tobaccos outside of McClelland. There will be no perfect matches or direct translations, but these will be some tobaccos that we might keep in mind as we try to find comparable substitutes. McClelland was the King of Virginia tobaccos. 5100. Christmas Cheer. 40th Anniversary. Hard to match. Let’s take Cornell & Diehl as a starting example. Red Virginia Ribbon. Not aged the same way, but nice ribbons. Mellow. Toasty. Red Virginia Cavendish. Semi-sweet, nutty, toasty flavor. Chunky cut, kind of like 5100. Also makes good blending tobacco. Might be a good substitute for that purpose. Another example is Lane Bright Virginia. Inexpensive. Tasty. Medium bodied. Buttery. Bit of nicotine. Slow smoker. Dark Star is another venerated McClelland VA. Sam Gawith Full Virginia Flake might be worth checking out as a replacement. 40th Anniversary, similar to Christmas Cheer, is another tough one to match in recommendations, but one that might be worth trying is Mac Baren Navy Flake. While it might not be VA-forward, its body and strength might remind you of 40th. Peter Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake is something that might be worth trying as well, especially since it’s inexpensive and sold in bulk. Maybe you’d like to try some different cigar leaf blends to try something comparable to Dominican Glory? James Fox The Banker’s Mixture might be a good replacement for that. For heavy Balkan and English mixtures, a nice recommendation that is still available despite it having Syrian Latakia, is Balkan by Brebbia. High percentage of Latakia... maybe 40 or 50%. Smooth, silky, soft, rich. Delectable if you are a Latakia fan. Balkan Sasieni. Relatively easy to get. Intended to be a nice substitute for Balkan Sobranie. What about Frog Morton?! No real substitute here, but recommendations for the croaked frogs to follow! Rattray’s Black Mallory. Black Cav, Latakia, Turkish, VA. Cornell & Diehl Mississippi Mud. This has Cavendish, Latakia, and Perique. Frog Morton Cellar is going to be a tough blend to replace, but it might be worth it to you to hunt down some Esoterica Pembroke (Bagpiper’s Dream by Rattray is the poor man’s Pembroke according to Gene Bowker). No whiskey, but it’s got a cognac top-note that might be pleasing to your palate. If you’re in the market for an English hybrid, The Country Squire’s own Hunting Creek might be worth checking out. Also, Shepherd's Pie at the Squire is the closest they’ve come to matching Frog Morton. Great job on that blend Caleb! Last thing we’ll touch on is one of the Aromatic offerings by McClelland. Tastemaster. Definitely a best seller at The Country Squire. Chocolatey. Caramely. Confectionary. Adjectives! Very sweet and smooth. Jon David is proud to recommend the Squire’s own Tobac du Chocolat in its place. Cornell & Diehl’s Chocolate Cavendish. Sutliff Creme Brulee. Some nice dessert-ish offerings for those that like something on the sweeter side. If you have some suggestions, or if you vehemently disagree, let Jon David and Beau know. They want feedback, good or bad! Pipe Question of the Week: Raphael D. Gomez writes in this week saying “I wanted to know what you thought about using radiator-type pipes in cold weather. Pipes like the Falcon, Kirsten, Hector Wiebe Radiator. I know they have briar bowls but with the cooling and wicking action from the radiator, I wonder if they would be especially good in the cool due to the more extreme temperature differences.” This is definitely one of those situations where a metal pipe will come in handy. Cold weather is rough on pipes all around, especially briar! Radiator pipes are great for strange weather situations since they are so durable and very light. It might not be the pipe you ultimately prefer, but as a substitute for a briar in cold weather, they are absolutely perfect. Quick Fire with the Squire: Comin’ in from Benjamin McMullen. The topic is “areas of history you would like to learn more about.” #1 World War 1 (JD & Beau) or World War 2 #2 Industrial Area (JD & Beau) or Atomic Era #3 Medieval Europe or 15th Century Asia (JD & Beau). They both selected the same things! Benjamin you win! I don’t know what, but you win! Congratulations! Listener Feedback: Drew Ingram writes in. “Quick question gentlemen...will you be doing a St. Patrick’s Day Special? Please keep up the good work. I love listening to the show whenever I can.” A good idea, but we’ll see! It has legs! Brian Parent (sp?) writes in “Hey gang! Thanks for the great show. Keep it up! Never miss an episode and I was truly bummed to hear the news about McClelland especially because they blend some of my favorites. Maybe this creates an opportunity to do an episode where find some similar in bulk and tin blends like Frog Morton, etc.” Brian, great idea! Just rewind this episode! Hope you enjoy it! iTunes review from Randall Morgan! “Whether you smoke a pipe, interested in smoking a pipe, or maybe you just remember the wonderful smell of cherry tobacco from your dad or grandfather's pipe this is the podcast for you. Beau and Jon David are wonderful hosts that make the art of pipe smoking and tobacco accessible for everyone. Though I've only met them a few times in person, Beau and Jon David are people that care not only about pipes and tobacco but the people on the other side of the microphone. I look forward each week to hearing these guys. My favorite podcast by far.” Ending & Wrap-up: Well dang, now my keyboard is broke and my fingers hurt. Lots of great tobaccos to try after this episode! Please check out the show sponsor websites to learn more about them, and please consider joining the Country Squire Radio Pipe Club.

The End of an Era Feb 28, 2018

This episode of Country Squire Radio is brought to you by Missouri Meerschaum and the Tin Society. We thank them for supporting this show, and we thank you for supporting them.

Episode 238: The End of an Era Welcome & Housekeeping: Jon David laments on the busy-ness but celebrates the shop’s success with the IPSD sale over the past week. The Country Squire also had 2 pipe pilgrimages on the same day! The NOLA Pipe Club (members Mark Van Vrancken, Jared Purvis, and Ryan Smith) made a trip to Jackson, and two guys from the Austin Texas Pipe Club (Josh White and Zach Limburg) showed up to deliver Jon David his wedding cake toppers, which are two hand-painted MM Diplomat cobs made by Josh’s wife Liz! Be on the lookout for some pictures. They are stunning! Also welcome to new Pipe Club Squire Adam Larkin! Thanks for joining man! Topic: Jon David and Beau discuss some news, both breaking (regarding McClelland) and sad (the death of Lars Ivarsson) Instead of trying to copy verbatim what JD and Beau have said on this topic, I’ll highly encourage you to listen to this particular episode in full. It’s an emotion-filled eulogy in many ways and translating that into written word is a difficult task. So I offer two pieces of reflection. One, is a quote from Chuck Stanion’s article on Mike McNeil from the Winter 2000 edition of Pipes & Tobaccos Magazine. "If the quality of available leaf ever went down," says Mike, "to the point where we didn't like our own product, we would shut the doors. We would shut the doors immediately and end it all, because our name is on that can and I'd rather find something else to do than put out something that isn't right. I would rather go out of business. That way we could say, 'Well, at least we went out with a great name.' So McClelland will always be high quality. We'll never change." And today (2/26), that’s exactly what happened. As of this week, McClelland is shuttering their doors. I think I speak for many when I say we wish them the best and thanks for so many years of service and love to the tobacco industry. We celebrate their legacy. Thanks Mary and Mike! Second, is a link to Pipedia’s wiki on Lars Ivarsson who died on 2/11/2018 after a long battle with cancer. I encourage you to read the article about his life and craft. Truly, a legendary man, a huge influence on pipe carving, and he will be missed by so, so many. (https://pipedia.org/wiki/Ivarsson,_Lars) - Courtesy of Sykes Wilford of (www.smokingpipes.com) Pipe Question of the Week: Joey writes in and asks “As a new pipe smoker is it better to stick with one tobacco and pipe so that you can learn that pipe and get a good rhythm or is it better to try a lot of different tobaccos and pipes so that you can find your favorite?” Good question, especially for this time of the year. JD always recommends variety. What if you get a bad pipe on your first go? Two ways to approach that. You can practice so you get better, or could it be a pipe problem? You won’t figure that out until you have a little variety. But be careful not to overdo it. There’s so many different aspects of pipe smoking it can quickly get overwhelming! Pick a good pipe from Missouri Meerschaum, or even a nice house pipe from a local tobacconist, and learn the process! Get a variety of tobacco to try out like BCA or 1Q if you don’t have a tobacconist like the Squire to order from! Quick Fire with the Squire: From Loyal Club Member Fr. Andy Koufopoulos! #1 Key Lime Pie or Red Velvet Cake (JD and Beau) #2 Ranch or Comeback Dressing (JD and Beau) #3 New England Patriots or Philadelphia Eagles (JD and Beau (only because they have talons and also he loves hockey teams) Listener Feedback: From listener Corey “Hey Beau and JD, greetings from Afghanistan! I’m an Army Chaplain in the 82nd Airborne Division on my first deployment, and almost done! I found your podcast a week or two ago and have been binge listening ever since. I feel like I’ve found ‘my people’. Pipe smokers. Southerners. Conversationalists. And Christians to boot! The podcast feels like an hour with old friends, so thanks for great content and a warm atmosphere. By the way, I sent you a Facebook message with a picture of me smoking my custom Afghanistan pipe that I carved out here. I got the kit from Mancrates. Also, I have a suggestion for the podcast. I grew up in the south, mostly going to southern Baptist churches. While I find it somewhat ironic now, it seemed perfectly normal as a kid to have an annual revival scheduled at the church...remember those? Maybe they brought in a special preacher, usually from across town or a unique music director, and the we just did a church for 5 nights in a row. Notwithstanding the obvious irony of scheduling a revival…’okay Holy Spirit would you mind showing up from July 6th to July 11th’. I actually look back fondly on these times. So, here’s the idea. What if you did a pipe shop podcast revival in the summer? Plan 5 special shows the be aired every night. Maybe pair it with give-a-ways and deals at the shop! Maybe do a special incentive for club members new and old! Maybe do a prize for most referrals to the podcast? Maybe have an event or two at the shop to reward the pilgrims. Maybe even do a live audience event with questions and answers and a ‘Revival Blend’ to sample. Man...now I want to plan my pilgrimage! I think there could be something here, and I full recognize that it would take a lot of work. You guys are legends in the pipe world, so just ride that mystique. Sorry about the long email, kinda my style. I appreciate you guys and enjoy your work. Keep pressing.” iTunes review from Taylor - “Favorite Podcast! JD and Beau. I absolutely love this show guys. Still in the process of catching up on the backlog but I’m loving every minute of it. If you smoke a pipe or have ever considered it, this show is for you! Random starting note, I just had shrimp and grits for the first time per your request and it was delicious! I’m from New York, so this isn’t a common dish. I really appreciate the pointers and plethora of knowledge this podcast offers and I love that you guys don’t leave your faith in Christ in the shadows. Keep pumping it out guys. We’re loving it! Ba da da da daaaa.” @cdumo - “Jackson Original. Consider it gospel.” (https://www.southernliving.com/food/how-to/white-comeback-sauce-recipe) @hoctorthelovedr - “being from Vegas comeback dressing sounds like a lingerie store.” @rhixart - “My deep love for McClelland is well known and as sad as this news is I’m so very thankful for what Mike and Mary have given the pipe smoking community over the last 40 years. There was no finer leaf on the planet. I wish them all the best.” Ending & Wrap-up: Woo, that was a lot of typing!

Baby, It's Cold Outside: Smoking Your Pipe In Cold Weather Feb 21, 2018

This episode of Country Squire Radio is brought to you by Missouri Meerschaum and the Tin Society. We thank them for supporting this show, and we thank you for supporting them.

Episode 237: Cold Weather Pipe Smoking Welcome & Housekeeping: It’s International Pipe Smoking Day (Week)! Of course, our beloved The Country Squire will be giving us the goods from 2/20 - 2/24. Everything in the shop (and online use code IPSD10) will be 10% off, and all pipes get an extra 10% off. Spend $50 or more and get a sample of the exclusive Country Squire IPSD Blend! $150 or more gets a free Squire t-shirt (maroon or blue). $200 or more gets a tin of name brand tobacco! Dealers choice there. Beau and Jon David touch on lunting (strolling whilst smoking your pipe) and the possibility of doing something in the near future with the International Lunting Society ( www.lunting.org ). Details to come, so stay tuned! For those that are interested, Jon David gushes a little on his IPSD blend, which will be a pecan aromatic, but fairly light! If it gets enough traction, there’s a possibility of it becoming a house blend, so go, buy you some IPSD goodies from the Squire, get your ounce, and try it! Then, give him some feedback! Also, 4 more members to announce for the International Country Squire Radio Pipe Club. All Squires! None of the pilgrim blasphemy! David Branch. Austin Horn. Steve Heyman. Satx Pipe. Welcome guys! If I misspelled your name, blame Beau. Someone’s gotta do it, and he failed miserably this time. Jon David and Beau couldn’t continue to do what they do without our support! You guys are the real MVPs! Topic: Beau and Jon David took Rob Bowden’s suggestion, and made an episode! This week they’re discussing pipes that are best for smoking in the cold weather, especially since we’re in the last throes of winter in the south, and the north still has plenty of it, as well as offering some tips and tricks. First thing discussed is those that insist on keeping pipes on the outside of their house, be it in the shed, car, or other means. Generally these are people that smoke a pipe to and from work, or perhaps a spouse that is pipe-smell sensitive. If that’s the case, and it’s terribly cold, you’re going to want to pre-heat that pipe before you load it. Get it up to room temperature, bring it inside at the very least, so you’re not giving it a temperature shock on first light. This can, and has, resulted in some cracked briar or other materials. If the weather is freezing, the moisture in the pipe can and will freeze and that moisture won’t evaporate as easily and readily, and could, in turn, cause the pipe to taste funky or sour eventually! A corn cob pipe might be a better option for you in the long run. Durable, cheap, and light! One of the best go-to pipes hands down. If it does get damaged by the cold, just get another! One material that is not suggested is meerschaum. They’re already fragile, but the stone itself is known to be even more brittle in cold conditions. However, a meerschaum-lined briar doesn’t suffer from this fragile effect. It helps protect the briar, and the briar gives the meerschaum the stability it needs to not crack. If briar is your material of choice, choose something that has a chunky bowl...my personal suggestion would be an author or tomato...maybe a pot. But the extra material helps with the sturdiness of the briar itself. For the lighters themselves, you’ll want to keep your butane soft-flame lighters inside if at all possible. The cold weather seems to really affect how easily they light. You may need to pre-warm it if you insist on keeping it outside or somewhere it’s going to get cold. Think about a windcap as well. This are also handy when you’re outside in any kind of weather, be it windy, rainy, or especially when its cold! And since we’ve touched on lunting...lunt! Bundle up properly and get that blood flowing! Also think about wearing gloves with mitten caps or something with accessible fingers. Helps you get to your tamper and lighter much more easily! Pipe Question of the Week: Frank in Mississippi writes asks “What is the worst/weirdest pipe-related question you’ve gotten from a customer at the Squire?” Mine Pipe Shop Pet Peeves episode? Jon David wonders where to start! He remarks that the worst he’s ever felt from a customer questions, was when they walked in the store, and asked Jon David about his Bing’s Favorite. Said person was interested in getting one and wanted to see his. Guy looks at it and tells Jon David about this website that’s running a sale on it and he was thinking about buying it, but wanted to see Jon David’s before he pulled the trigger. WHAT!??! YOU DON’T DO THAT! Luckily Butch Arthur, awesome friend of Jon David’s and the shop, was there at the time and literally said “No, you don’t do that.” Thankfully, it ended up as a sale, but it was still pretty cringeworthy and completely unacceptable. Quick Fire with the Squire: Sent in my Jim Friedman (sp?), theme is “Getting Healthy” #1 High protein diet (JD) or Low fat diet (Beau) #2 Aerobic exercise (Beau) or weight training (JD) #3 Vitamins or Veggies (JD and Beau) #4 Working out with others (JD) or working out by yourself (Beau) #5 Losing weight to fit into your pants (Beau has different pairs of pants for different weight levels) or Just buy new pants (JD because he gets his pants altered) Listener Feedback: Robin Co. writes in “Great podcast! Recently fell into this podcast as a new-ish pipe smoker. Love the laid back vibe and great info that the guys have. Now working my way through the archives.” Jim Nelson writes in “On a previous show, you two wondered out loud if Diebel’s (Smokeshop in Kansas City) is still around. It is indeed, but it is a good news / bad news story. They are now Diebel’s Sportsman Gallery and have two locations in KC. My son Chris who is also an avid listener and customer of yours said something along the lines of it ‘looking like a high class cracker barrel lobby’ when you first walk in. That nails the ambiance there. They still have a good selection of pipes and still appear to blend their own pipe tobacco. They have a limited selection of tinned tobacco. The cigar humidor is huge though. There is also a fair-sized private club type smoking lounge. But, it’s no longer a ‘pipe shop’. Pipes are clearly second in line and it makes me said every time I walk in. I suppose that given what’s happened to the pipe smoking culture since the 70’s, the move to overpriced duck decoys and pretentious leather travel bags was inevitable. The good news is if you need a barware sign, a pair of socks with bacon on them, or something crazy like that, I know a place on Country Club Plaza where you can get it.” @asechales “ten to twenty five degrees on a clear night without much wind and snow on the ground is hands down the perfect smoking conditions to me.” @hoctorthelovedr “that’s why you enjoy a nice corn cob pipe from Missouri Meerschaum. Leave it in the car, temperature change doesn’t harm it at all.” @Pappy_Joe “the real question is to watch these guys or some exciting Olympic Curling?” @OnMyOwnOpinion (Brian Levine) “socks may not be the best thing to sell in Mississippi! Just saying.” Ending & Wrap-up: Please check out the show sponsor websites to learn more about them, and please consider joining the Country Squire Radio Pipe Club. I’ve provided a link to Patreon below as well as show credits, twitter handles, websites, emails, and times. If you have not done so, please consider writing an iTunes review. Great way to support these fantastic gentlemen! For more fun, check out the live show on YouTube! ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXfbQHcXaKg ) Also please pray Beau grows some more facial hair for next week...don’t hold your breath! Alright, let’s got have a night!

Squire Select: Jack Daniel’s Rye and TX Blended Whiskey Feb 07, 2018

This episode of Country Squire Radio is brought to you by Missouri Meerschaum and the Tin Society. We thank them for supporting this show, and we thank you for supporting them.

Episode 235: Squire Select - Jack Daniel’s Rye and TX Blended Whiskey Welcome & Housekeeping: Jon David gives us a peek into his hectic life at the Squire, in part because Caleb, the Squire Intern, shattered his kneecap. (Get well soon Caleb!) Big props to Jimmy for helping out over at Ye Olde Pipe Shop in Caleb’s absence. Beau is headed to New Orleans to ride in the Krewe of Endymion during Mardi Gras! It rolls on Feb. 10th, 2018 @ 2:15 (https://endymion.org/parade-route-map/) Catch your Beau beads! Also, IPSD is coming up on 2/20. That’s International Pipe Smoking Day! Of course, our beloved The Country Squire will be giving us the goods from 2/20 - 2/24. Everything in the shop (online) will be 10% off, and all pipes get an extra 10% off. Spend $50 or more and get a sample of the exclusive Country Squire IPSD Blend! $150 or more gets a free Squire t-shirt. $200 or more gets a tin of name brand tobacco! Raleigh Pipe Expo Reception Party coming up soon on April 6, from 5-9pm at the Ramada Inn on Blue Ridge Rd. in Raleigh, NC. Additionally, there will be a Pipe Carvers Workshop on the 6th as well. The Pipe & Tobacco Expo is on Saturday April 7th, 9am-4:30pm in the Holshauser Building at the NC State Fairgrounds. Texas Pipe Show Oct. 6 2018, additional info to come. Last but not least, Beau, once again, pleads with listeners to send in BBQ gift cards, rubs, steak, sauces, meat products, or generally anything that will help sponsor a BBQ and Tobacco pairing hoping it will force Jon David to agree, begrudgingly, to do the episode. Topic: JD and Beau once again enjoy another fun night of Squire Select where they take two whiskeys (generally speaking) of various origin and suggest pairings with two complimentary pipe tobaccos that Jon David has pre-selected with his brilliant mind and palate. First up - Jack Daniel’s Rye! Spoiler alert: Beau hates it. His precious delicate baby’s bottom tastebuds can’t stand the cheaper stuff. JD Rye is supposedly their first new recipe in 150 years. 90 Proof, 70% rye, 18% corn, and 12% malted barley. Warm golden color. Southern bottle aesthetic with a “craft paper” label. Nose of strong rye and fruit, specifically banana chips. On the palate, we get bananas and the strong rye as well. A tingle or slight burn on the roof of the mouth. The tobacco pairing was Solani Aged Burley Flake Blend 656. Trigger warning - Jon David says it kind of smells like raisin bran. Clean smelling and tasting burley with less sugars to give a more mellow nutty flavor. Bit of a nicotine kick, as could be expected. Tends to help dial back the potency of the Jack Daniels, giving the palate a rest. Next up - TX Blended Whiskey. From Firestone & Robertson in Ft. Worth. Small batch. Aesthetically, a very plain looking bottle. The band near the cap is made of burlap. And the cap is made of boot leather! Nice deep golden color on the brown water itself. 80 proof. Mellow milk chocolate and vanilla notes on the nose and palate. A nice, warm heat, helps round out the mouthfeel. Not strong, but a pleasant warm on the tongue. Very interesting description. Nice and smooth. Won Best American Craft Whiskey in 2013 at the World Spirits Competition. The tobacco pairing is Samuel Gawith Squadron Leader! A semi-uncommon, very venerated, medium English blend. Helps contrast and compliment the mellowness of the TX whiskey with smoky notes of latakia and fragrant orientals. Pipe Question of the Week: Dillon Shalinder (sp?) says “It is a windy night, but I would not be denied my pipe. I’m noticing that my large bent dublin bowl lets me comfortably keep my hand or thumb around the cover of the chamber. Do you guys have any tips about using your hands in regards to keeping the pipe going in adverse weather conditions? Love the show!” Jon David remarks that he has customers that will use their hand as a kind of flue to keep the embers going or they will use their hand as a makeshift windcap. Personal preference at that point. If the thumb method is comfortable with the particular pipe you are using, go ahead and do it! With every pipe being different in some way, it all comes back to experimentation! Don’t forget your windcap either! They’re cheap and worth trying out. Also doubles as a cap for a pipe on the go. Or keeping the ashes contained in your car! Quick Fire with the Squire: Sent in by Jordan Scoville. #1 Sleeping in late (JD) or Getting up early (Beau) #2 Pencil or Pen (JD and Beau) #3 Lasagna (JD) or Spaghetti (Beau) Listener Feedback: Doug Owen says, in response to last week’s episode on the Aristocrat and the Farmer, “Gosh what a great discussion. There’s a little of the Aristocrat and Farmer in all of us pipe smokers, but clearly most of us tend to gravitate towards one side or the other. You guys have a highly sophisticated audience. I appreciate a bit higher level of discourse typical of a discussion such as this one. One small but significant example of this was when Beau used the phrase “suffice to say” as opposed to the ubiquitous “sufficed to say” so commonly used today by people of a lesser sophistication. I’m sure Beau did that on purpose. Way to go Beau and JD. Keep up the good work and keep puffin!” Dave Miller writes in and says “I would love it if you guys delve into the world of British tobaccos like Condor, St. Bruno, Warrior Plug, Revor Plug. These tobaccos have such a rich history that it’d be great to hear y’all talk about them, and/or their houses. Just a thought on some talking points. Don’t want to come off like I’m telling you all how to do your own show as I love it as it is. You guys are great!” iTunes review in from JH2196 - “Great podcast! What a great show. About the time I think your podcast can’t get any better you blow me away with a new show. It seems that each show is better than the preceding one. I hope you both have a great Christmas and a very happy and prosperous and New Year. Keep up the good work. I look forward to each new episode with anticipation of the unexpected happening!” Ending & Wrap-up: Please check out the show sponsor websites to learn more about them, and please consider joining the Country Squire Radio Pipe Club. Also, if you have not done so, please go write a positive review on iTunes! It’s a great way to help support our favorite show!

Pipe Culture: The Aristocrat and The Farmer Jan 31, 2018

This episode of Country Squire Radio is brought to you by Missouri Meerschaum and the Tin Society. We thank them for supporting this show, and we thank you for supporting them.

Episode 234: Pipe Culture - the Aristocrat and the Farmer Welcome & Housekeeping: Jon David continues to lament on the struggles of life and how much his pipe has been an asset. Beau talks about Best of Jackson 2018, for which CSR was nominated for best local podcast. It did not win, however Beau’s Podastery podcast ‘Let’s Talk Jackson’ did win. Raleigh Pipe Expo Reception Party coming up soon on April 6, from 5-9pm at the Ramada Inn on Blue Ridge Rd. in Raleigh, NC. The Pipe & Tobacco Expo is on Saturday April 7th, 9am-4:30pm in the Holshauser Building at the NC State Fairgrounds. Texas Pipe Show Oct. 6 2018, additional info to come. Brady Muckelroy (listener) missed the Custom Cob Competition auctions, but made a huge extra donation. Next Custom Cob Competition may be on a different holiday this year, stay tuned! Jon David congratulates Peter Massey on his 100th Loyal Squire’s punchcard, which amounts to 150lbs purchased tobacco from the Country Squire. New pipe club members announced (I won’t try to butcher their names in text as well.) Addendum note: NOLA Pipe Club will be taking a day trip to the Squire on Saturday 2/24. Topic: JD and Beau reopen the discussion on Pipe Culture, specifically looking at pipe smoking archetypes with community commentary provided by listeners, all detailed below. Additional thanks to www.reddit.com/r/pipetobacco for their contributions to this episode. /u/SupraMario – “I'm in between both, I've got money to blow on lbs of tobacco and pipes I want...but don't (ok ok, not on the TAD part on the PAD I restrain myself). I own a farm but am a pencil pusher by day...So not poor, not super rich, own a farm, but work in an office.” /u/LaphroaigianSlip – “The archetypes in my mind are this; one smokes a smooth red stain or black painted briar and the other smokes a humble cob. The briar has a brass or silver ash guard while the cob is unfinished and uneven at the top. The briar is either a Dublin or Billiard. The cob looks somewhere in between the style of Missouri Meerschaum's Mark Twain and The General. That is, the American farmer. The western European farmer would have a more local pipe made of briar, a small pipe with brown stain. Further east you might imagine someone farming in the hills of Greece with a simple bent Meerschaum, enjoying some Latakia with a bottle of ouzo. Further East still I in vision a Chinese farmer coming home in the evening. He sits down with his bamboo pipe. A durable piece that can last a lifetime, even be passed on generationally like a briar while having similar markings to the well worn corn cob pipe, familiar with being handled by dirty hands. It has the markings of earnest and frequent use. The central idea being that the farmer has his pipe from a more local and practical place while the aristocratic has the luxury of smoking something from another continent. The aristocrat has a clean smooth pipe, one in a rotation while the farmer's pipes each see daily use.” Dillon Shalinder (sp?) – “When I think about the aristocrats, the rich types, I’m reminded of a neat movie called ‘Evil Under the Sun”. The normalcy of seeing a well-to-do man with a pipe allowed the villain to hide a key piece of evidence, that in fact there was a diamond in his pipe the whole movie.” /r/Broskheim – “If we're talking straight stereotypes, the Farmer (blue collar) is the guy who has 1 pipe (probably a cob or a basket briar), and smokes one blend (probably an a drug store OTC) all day long. The Aristocrat is more the type we see on these kinds of forums. Smokes a multitude of blends from a multitude of pipes, probably once or, at most, twice a day. Probably pairs it with a beverage of some sort, and takes time out of his day to specifically enjoy the pipe.” Brad Hoctor (@hoctorthelovedr) – “To me a white collar, or aristocratic pipe smoker, is a bit more picky, typically having artisan-carved pipes and a wide variety of tinned blends in their cellar, whereas the blue collar pipe smoker or farmer is perfectly content with a good ol’ cob and a low-end factory pipe and a pouch of Captain Black.” Darren – “When I think of a Farmer who smokes a pipe I think of Charles Ingalls from ‘The Little House on the Prairie’. He would often enjoy his pipe in the evening after supper at the kitchen table, or outside leaning on the fence rail. Charles was a hard working farmer who enjoyed his pipe. Nothing better than a cool smoke to help wind down after a hard days work. Really enjoy the show.” Corey Grip – “I would like to contribute to the Farmer side. There are pictures of my grandfather who was born in 1927. There are two pictures of him as a kid, and one with my grandmother from 1953. And no we do not have the pipe still unfortunately. The pictures were taken at their 80-acre farm in Oklahoma.” (photos posted to FB) John Kirk Griffin – “Hey brothers, long time listener. I was so excited for this specific episode because, well, I’m a farmer! There’s something beautiful and primal about sitting on a tractor with a pipe packed with your favorite blend. It’s these hours of driving in slow circles that are prime moments for smoking a pipe. Farmers are very contemplative people, we spend many hours doing repetitive and sometimes monotonous work which gives us ample time to think. It’s during these times of deep contemplation that farmers turn to our pipes as our faithful companion. The farmer is a dying breed. We’ve gone from almost 90% farm workers to less than 1% in the US. We are frequently forgotten and sometimes marginalized folk, but we are a tough and resilient folk. And so next time you pack a pipe, remember the farmer who worked hard to grown and harvest those beautiful and tasty leaves. Love you guys, love the show. Keep up the great work.” /u/randallleemorgan – “When I think of the archetype of the farmer I'm reminded of my grandfather, a true Mississippian born and raised outside a small town no one would recognize. A man that worked as a millwright every day of his adult life because that's what he had (and I think loved) to do. Farming was something he didn't do for income but for survival; to make ends meet. Planting his own fruits and vegetables, raising chickens, and even hunting during the fall and winter all to provide for his family. This man is someone who loves a good pipe full of some tobacco, I’m guessing Cherry (Didn’t everyone in the 60’s smoke cherry tobacco). Later in life before I was born he had to lay down the pipe for the sake of my grandmother's heart condition but his the pipe wasn't his only source of vitamin-N. Maybe a nice big cheek-full of some Beechnut Chewing Tobacco while reading the paper or sitting on the tailgate of his old GMC secretly slipping is 4 year old grandson a strip of that chewing tobacco that may or may not have provided the aforementioned grandson his first case of nicotine sickness. The farmer archetype is that of someone who isn’t afraid to get his/her hands dirty. Someone who works hard every day to provide in time of plenty and time of lean. But the pipe is his one guilty pleasure, something just for him. Darren – “I recommend reading this article by Jonah Goldberg called ‘Democracy in the Tobacconist’s’ (http://www.nationalreview.com/article/367088/democracy-tobacconists-jonah-goldberg) and it’s really about cigars but I feel there are a lot of themes that will overlap. The G.K. Chesterton quote in particular addresses why it may be frowned upon and both social strata and why they should not care” G.K. Chesterton quote - "To have a horror of tobacco is not to have an abstract standard of right; but exactly the opposite. It is to have no standard of right whatever; and to make certain local likes and dislikes as a substitute. Nobody who has an abstract standard of right and wrong can possibly think it wrong to smoke a cigar. It is a vague sentimental notion that certain habits were not suitable to the old log cabin or the old hometown. It has a vague utilitarian notion that certain habits are not directly useful in the new amalgamated stores or the new financial gambling-hell. If his aged mother or his economic master dislikes to see a young man hanging about with a pipe in his mouth, the action becomes a sin; or the nearest that such a moral philosophy can come to the idea of a sin. A man does not chop wood for the log hut by smoking; and a man does not make dividends for the Big Boss by smoking; and therefore smoking has a smell as of something sinful." David Sirette – “I’m curious about the shift in preferential pipe shapes over time. I’ve always been told and read that in the 19th and early 20th centuries that bent pipes were preferred by lower-class smokers and manual laborers due to the hands free clench-ability and then straight pipes were preferred by those white-collared and upper class smokers. But then it seems that we began to see a shift mid-century with bent pipes becoming more expensive and artistic and straight billiards becoming a working man’s utility pipe. I’m curious to know what spurred this change. Could it have been that manufacturing techniques drove down the cost of straight pipes? Perhaps it was art and other fashion trends? Even today I would say that when you look at higher end pipes we see more swooping curves and bent stems and less expensive factory pipes in the form of straight billiards and apples. Is what we see a shift in aesthetics only? Or are our behaviors and smoking rituals changing?” Pipe Question of the Week: Ryan Smith in Louisiana asks “When people say a blend is burley-based I figure there are large variations in what the flavors can be. Some burley-based blends are cigarette-like, high in nicotine and a bit harsh smoke for me, but some are mild and nutty that have that awesome codger-like quality. I tend to prefer the latter. Is it a specific type of burley I should be looking for or are the condiment tobaccos more to blame for the large variations? PS. Looking forward to meeting you guys when the NOLA Pipe Club comes up to invade the Squire in February. Thanks for the show and keep up the great work.” Paraphrasing here, but Jon David comments that burleys are varied and not all are created equal. Air cured burley is softer, kind of nutty, more nicotine, and just all around smoother and then we have toasted and fire-cured burleys that are smokier because the leaves are infused with these particles. They’ll be a little more harsh, smoky, toasty. But burley is lurking everywhere. Unless the blend specifically says “no burley”, it’s probably in there somewhere. It’s so adaptable. It’s a chameleon. Takes on flavors of other tobaccos. Ages well. Adds body and nice mouthfeel. Thick clouds of smoke. They also kind of have a bad rap. Some people assume they just don’t like burley when they don’t realize there are many different kinds! Quick Fire with the Squire: Brought in by Mike Kinsey. #1 Transformers (JD and Beau) or G.I. Joe #2 Nirvana (JD and Beau) or Pearl Jam #3 Nightmare on Elm Street (JD and Beau) or Friday the 13th #4 Boodles (Beau?) or More Boodles (JD) Listener Feedback: Itunes review from ShadowMasterMan – “First and foremost, if you are a pipe smoker, you need this podcast in your life. Jon David is not only an encouragement as a person but a true master in the field of tobacco. I have learned an incredible amount from him, and truly developed a love of the pipe as a result. Beau is an incredible host, who puts out a high quality show time and time again. The sound quality is flawless, and the content equally so. You will not be disappointed subscribing to this show, I’ve binged every episode since discovering them in Afghanistan and will continue to be an avid listener. Jon David & Beau, thank y’all for the hard work y’all do for us, I think I can speak for the entire community when I say that you are truly appreciated. Thanks & Gig Em! @cdumo – “Granted as the grandson of French immigrants, my perspective may be different, but if you were going to smoke, it was briar whether you were a nobleman, farmer, or (as my family was) butcher. The briar pipe (invented in France, let’s not forget) was an equalizer. Alternatively, when you talk to old servicemen, they’ll talk about encountering meerschaum pipes (which many people consider fairly aristocratic) on their travels and seeing them as cheap, poor men’s pipes that could be picked up for pennies and not worth their time.” Ending & Wrap-up: Please check out the show sponsor websites to learn more about them.
