- Genuine, earnest, & passionate about the pipe hobby
Great, fun insights into the pipe and tobacco hobby. The hosts have maintained an ever-deepening interest into all aspects of tobacciana. It has been enjoyable to witness them learning through research and getting to know folks in the industry, and especially noteworthy that they don't seem to be losing steam. I'm glad to see them trying to move away from the AI in recent weeks (Oct 2026), as that would be my only criticism. I really enjoy this show, and I'd say it's one of the top 3 best podcas... more

I anticipate being completely up to date on their show within a week. Keep up the amaz... more

While this is simply the best all round show devoted to pipe smoking, I end every show jonesing to order a new pipe or tin of tobacco. Beware.

This podcast strikes the perfect balance between education, tradition, and genuine enjoyment of the pipe hobby. The hosts clearly know their tobacco whether they’re discussing classic blends, modern releases, aging, pipe history, or technique and they present it in a way that’s approachable for newcomers while still engaging for seasoned smokers.
What really sets this show apart is the respect it shows for the culture of pipe smoking. There’s no pretension, no hype just honest conversation, tho... more
