Episode 86: Talking Tobacco 

Episode 84: The process of aging pipe tobacco | One note: Obviously since we recorded this episode Disney purchased Fox and Wolverine and the X-Men have moved over to the MCU.

Episode 36: An overview of briar pipes. Ok ok I think I remember this... after we recorded Episode 35 we realized we may have gotten too fringe so we wanted to get back to the core of what CSR was all about. "back to the briar" you could say. I think the result is one of our best episodes.

Episode 32: Pipe Collecting. We all do it! Here's an episode about it!

Episode 30: Best practices for keeping up your pipe.

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. But these days there are so many options to pull from when walking down your local package store. Here we pair beverages with pipe tobacco to find an ideal combination to enhance the enjoyment of both.

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.
