The Pipes Magazine Radio Show Podcast

Tonight on The Pipes Magazine Radio Show, we welcome back Dave Peterson, a longtime pipe smoker, collector, and active member of the pipe community. Dave has been part of the Pipes Magazine Forums since May 2009, when the site was just a few months old, and many listeners will recognize him by his forum handle, "daveinlax." He is also Brian's partner in the Las Vegas International Pipe Show. On tonight's show, Dave shares highlights from his recent trip to the International Pipe Show in Lake Como, Italy, including his visits to the Castello pipe factory and shop, Al Pascià, and several other notable tobacconists and pipe destinations. It's an insider's look at one of the world's premier pipe events and the unforgettable experiences surrounding it. At the top of the show, we will have an Ask the Tobacco Blender segment with Jeremy Reeves, Head Blender at Cornell & Diehl.

Tonight on The Pipes Magazine Radio Show, our featured interview is with Nathan Davis of Greywoodie fame. Long known as one of the pipe community's biggest advocates for Kaywoodie, Nathan began as a collector before becoming a dealer and launching the Greywoodie website. In 2024, he completed an extraordinary journey when he acquired Kaywoodie itself, ending more than 175 years of ownership by the same family across four generations. Known as CrashTheGrey on the Pipes Magazine forums, Nathan is also the organizer of the Capitaland Pipe Show, which is this weekend - June 27, 2026. Lastly, Nathan is co-host of the Greywoodie Podcast alongside Eugene Falco. At the top of the show in Pipe Parts, Brian will have a tobacco review of Low Country's Edisto, which is a Red Virginia flake tobacco made by Cornell & Diehl. We also have a fun surprise in place of the music segment that you don't want to miss.

Tonight on The Pipes Magazine Radio Show, we welcome Josh of Bad Cat Tobacco. Hailing from Lexington, Kentucky, Josh spent more than 15 years working as an archaeologist before becoming immersed in the world of pipes and tobacco. Remarkably, Josh only began smoking a pipe in 2025, yet has already assembled a collection of more than 100 pipes and launched Bad Cat Tobacco, a boutique blending venture focused on creating distinctive tobacco experiences for pipe smokers. Brian and Josh will discuss his rapid journey into the hobby, the origins of Bad Cat Tobacco, and his approach to blending and the pipe community. At the top of the show Brian will discuss bowl cake.

Tonight on The Pipes Magazine Radio Show, we welcome Christine Glasheen of Mullinahone House. Christine's journey into premium tobacco began about six years ago when she bought herself a cigar for her birthday and discovered she truly enjoyed the experience. Her interest was also shaped by childhood memories of fishing trips with her father, who often smoked cigars. During the pandemic, friends she met online introduced her to pipe smoking. Her father, who had smoked a pipe in college, suggested she begin with Mac Baren's Scottish Blend and later passed along his pipe collection. Christine also treasures a special pipe that belonged to her grandfather, who emigrated from Ireland—a story you'll hear her share on tonight's show. Brian and Christine will discuss Mullinahone House, her company inspired by Irish heritage and dedicated to celebrating the traditions, stories, and culture that surround the pipe-smoking hobby. At the top of the show we will have an Ask the Tobacco Blender segment with Jeremy Reeves. Jeremy is the Head Blender at Cornell & Diehl.

Tonight on The Pipes Magazine Radio Show, we welcome Michael Dean, founder and managing editor of Timber & Smoke Magazine. Launched in June 2025, the quarterly publication celebrates pipe culture, craftsmanship, and the slower, more intentional side of life. What began as Michael's passion for sharing the rituals and stories surrounding pipes and tobacco has grown into a beautifully produced print magazine dedicated to the people, traditions, and artistry of the hobby. Known for its outstanding photography, maker profiles, thoughtful essays, and pipe show coverage, Timber & Smoke has quickly found an audience among pipe smokers who appreciate both the heritage and evolving culture of the hobby. Brian and Michael will talk about the magazine, its origins, and where it may be headed in the future. At the top of the show in Pipe Parts Brain will have a pipe bowl packing tip.
