580: Pipe Collector / Pipe Show Organizer Dave Peterson

Our featured interview tonight is with Dave Peterson. Dave is Brian's partner organizing the Las Vegas International Pipe Show. Influenced by his childhood friend's father, he always wanted to be a heavy equipment operator, and that is what he became and worked at his entire life. He started smoking a pipe at 14-years old. This time influenced by Hugh Hefner. He even started with Mixture 79, but he's come a long way since then. Dave is also one of the first members of the Pipes Magazine Forums, having joined in May 2009 when the site was only a few months old, and he is still an active participant. His forum handle is "daveinlax", and no, he does not live in the Los Angeles airport. We are skipping our opening segment for an extended chat with Dave.
