  • If You don't listen Brian will come and get you.

    There's no magazine. There's no radio show. But there is a phenomenal podcast to be had. Brian's interview style is unmatched. The guests are always engaging, and the way the show is broken into segments really makes it seem like this is a 15 minute show...even though it's much longer.

Martin says his favorite pipe for smoking is the workhorse, but the Holbeck shape is his favorite overall.
725: Will & Joe from PipeRevival. Jeremy Reeves from Cornell & Diehl
Q: What makes C&D flakes different from other Danish-style flakes?
Differences come down to equipment, pressure, leaf, and moisture; their process yields flakes that rub and hold differently than other brands, with binding agents and pressing approaches playing critical roles.
725: Will & Joe from PipeRevival. Jeremy Reeves from Cornell & Diehl
Q: Why aren't you making coin cuts currently?
Because the time and equipment needed to produce coins would divert significant resources from our existing, more efficient production lines, making it not feasible for us at this time.

Q: When did pipe smoking come into your life?
Eric explains that pipe interest began around 2023 after his father gifted him a pipe, which sparked ongoing exploration and involvement with local shops and a pipe club.
