578: Pipe Maker Reid Robertson. Pipe Smoking 101 - Types of Tobacco.

Our featured interview tonight is with Reid Robertson. Reid is a relatively new pipe maker, but—get this—his first memory of pipe smoking goes back to when he was two years old. He started smoking pipes when he was 18, and starting making them in 2021. Pipe carver David S. Huber started mentoring him in the fall of 2022 and he is now making beautiful quality pipes. At the top of the show, we will have a Pipe Smoking 101 segment with a quite basic talk on the two main types of tobacco that are used for pipes. This will be an ongoing series that will become more detailed, and less basic as it proceeds.
