597: Pipe Restorer and Book Author Charles Lemon. Growing Tobacco with Jeremy Reeves.

The Pipes Magazine Radio Show Podcast

Our interview on tonight's show is with Charles Lemon. Charles does pipe repairs and restorations, and is the author of the new book, "Brigham Pipes, A Century Of Canadian Briar". It tells the story of the first 100 years of Brigham pipes, and includes an extensive shape chart with actual photos of the pipes. The book lays out not only the chronology of Canada’s most prominent pipe-maker but also never before compiled information on the pipes themselves, including the stamps, grading schemes and pinning patterns used between 1906 and 2006. In Pipe Parts, Brian talks to Jeremy Reeves, the head blender at Cornell & Diehl about growing, curing, fermenting, and aging tobacco.
