Our featured interview on tonight's Pipes Magazine Radio Show is with Per George Jensen. Per is like an executive chef of to***co. He never runs out of new tasty concoctions. He also always seems to land on his feet. In case you don’t know, he spent many years at Mac Baren and later created blends for Sutliff as well. With the buyouts by STG, which have already been discussed at length, Sutliff is gone, and Mac Baren as we knew it, will soon be too. The good news is that the new Per Jensen Legacy Collection by Cornell & Diehl comes out next week – September 2. The four blends are tributes to Per’s father, Per Georg Jensen, a man who once wore the proud uniform of the Danish Navy. At the top of the show we’ll have an Ask the Pipemaker segment with renowned pipe artisan Jeff Gracik.

Our featured interview on tonight's Pipes Magazine Radio Show is with Dustin Patterson. He got into pipe smoking about ten years ago when he was working in robotics and automation and he learned about Sherlock Holmes’ practice of figuring out problems by taking time to think while smoking a pipe. Something that was really puzzling would be deemed a “three pipe problem”. Dustin wanted to see if this would really work. Fast forward to today where he had the idea of putting AI to the test with pipe related questions and to see how they compare to Brian’s answers. So tonight we have AI vs. Brian. At the top of the show in Pipe Parts, Brian will talk about his Disney Pipe and Tobacciana Collection.

Our featured interview on tonight's Pipes Magazine Radio Show is with Anthony James. Anthony is a micro-blender of pipe to***cos. He started smoking pipes in 2020, and because of his chef background he immediately became interested in blending to***cos. He was led to pipe smoking after his wife’s grandfather passed away and they found 10 Kaywoodie pipes while cleaning out the garage. Anthony was already intrigued by pipes from his own great grandfather being a tough Navy man pipe smoker in WWII. He always had this macho image of pipe smokers and when he found the Kaywoodies, that was the last push he needed. In Pipe Parts, Brian will have a list of pipe smoking related things you must at least try once.
