Episode 2 of Country Squire Radio

On Aug 12th 2013, this first episode of Country Squire Radio was recorded. Enjoy and happy IPSD!

It's a look back at Country Squire Radio Year One! Funny enough we allude to an event that we would like to do... and it took us 10 years to actually make it happen... enjoy.

That's right! It's Episode 500 recapping the past 10 years of Country Squire Radio and brining this series to it's conclusion in front of a live audiance at (or at least right next to...) the Country Squire in Jackson Mississippi! We were stunned by the amount of support we got and the overwhelming numbers of folks who showed up for this event, including some major personalities in pipedom.

As mentioned at the top of the show, the Country Squire Radio Final Episode Tin is available for purchase at TheCountrySquireOnline.com while supplies last. Enjoy!

Alright... that's it...

The end times are truly upon us... Enjoy this very silly episode of Country Squire Radio as our 499th and Pen Ultimate gift to you! Cheers!

...and a little shop called The Country Squire. Enjoy.

Formerly ‘Heroes of the Bowl’, The Half Bowl Histories series takes a look into the history, lore, and legacy of individuals, places, and events of interest that helped shape the world we know today for good and for ill. Here we get a chance to revisit some of the famous pipe smokers we’ve covered in the past and shift the focus from what they loved to who they were and the complexities of their lives. This week: The Inklings

Pipe Question:  

What is the pipe's role in modern mythology? Have we lost the narrative entirely? And what responsibility does the modern pipe community have in telling our own stories? Get ready from some major soapboxing this episode.

Pipe Question:  

Over the past few weeks we have been overwhelmed by the amount of emails sent in to the show and we thought what better day than International Pipe Smoking Day to record a special 'Mailbag' episode to ensure we can get as many of your messages on air as possible before the big 500.

Speaking of which, get your tickets for episode 500 today at TheCountrySquireOnline.com

The Library or Study has long been the haven of the contemplative pipe smoker. In our ‘From The Library’ series, we take a look into the musings, writings, poetry, and more that pique our interest and consider the mind of the author and how we can, or perhaps can’t, relate from our own experience. This week we have an article from Psychology Today on Integrity

Pipe Question:  

What would a pipe tobacco podcast be without a good deal of pipe tobacco reviews? Loose leaf, tin, and even the hard to find stuff will all find their way into our pipes and into our heads as we review the entirety of each pipe tobacco from the packaging, marketing, tin note, texture, flavor, and smoke. This week: Tobacco Talk: Savinelli 140th Anniversary and Taste of Temptation

500th Episode Event

A pipe is the perfect complement to a good meal and a good drink is the kind companion to a good pipe.

Listener Feedback: 

For the new pipe smoker who is just getting started, there can be a ton of barriers to entry that some of the more seasoned among us take for granted. Decision fatigue, trust, and the overwhelming amount of information out there are just a few of the topics we address in this week's Pipe Smoking 101.

If this episode seems a little out of order... that's because it is! The opportunity to record 2 shows from the Las Vegas Pipe Show room floor threw off our scheduled release a bit but as always we strive for evergreen content that you can pack a pipe with at anytime! Who knows? Maybe you are enjoying this one with a bowl of Former's Private Flake or Ruins of Windsor right now... Enjoy!

It's that time of year! And we are changing it up again as we are want to do here on Country Squire Radio, blending our annual Best of series with our on going 'Top 3' series! This year: Best Top 3 Pipes and Top 3 Tobaccos of 2022! Enjoy!

The Christmas Spirits of Pipe Tobaccos Past, Present, and Future on upon Scrouge McCole...will he rediscover his love of pipe tobacco in time for Christmas!? And what of Tiny Quinn? Beau! Humbug! Enjoy.

Step into the Country Squire Tobacconist on any given day and you’re likely to find a group of diverse men of all ages sharing their lives, triumphs, and troubles, over a bowl of quality pipe tobacco. In our Father To Father series, we try to capture the realness of conversation you find at your local pipe shop as we share our experience navigating fatherhood as two dads of young kids. This week we are sharing our faith journeys and how that impacts us as fathers.

Listener Feedback: (Jim Friedemann)  Hello Beau and Jon Dav...

We are back at the Las Vegas Pipe Show and getting very contemplative on the future, and perhaps more importantly, present of this industry.



Viva Pipe Vegas! We are here with the whos who of the pipe world enjoying some good times with old and new friends. Enjoy!

Pipe Question: I bought my latest batch of Chestnut in the 14oz tub. I know that old drugstore blends often come in such tubs. Will that keep my tobacco fresh...

Pipe Question: I've been enjoying some of the so-called "American English" blends lately, which I understand to be primarily burley-based, but with a bit of latakia added. Right now I've really been digging on Russ Ouellette's Chestnut blend, a match for the now-defunct Walnut of blessed memory. Any other suggestions for good "American English" blends, perhaps something tinned? - Fr. Isaac
