Look forward to every episode
Hi Brian, I just wanted to thank you for your rant last week. It was by far the best I’ve heard on your show! Unfortunately I find myself unfollowing presenters/“influencers” that promote hate or ignorance of human affairs. When you began, I must say, I cringed… but was very elated to find that you are not only a gentleman and a professional, but someone I respect and admire. Thanks for speaking up about this sadly controversial topic in our world today. Happy pipe smoking, Johnny Waken

New host please.
It would be nice if the host would spend less time talking about himself and trying to be the “focus,” and allow the guest to use the Lion’s share of the time to speak and share their views. The show gets stale quickly because of this. The guests are always quite interesting.

The Most Informative And Entertaining Pipecast!
This podcast yields a treasure trove of information for the pipe smoker, be they novice or well seasoned pipe smoker. Entertaining interviews with a wide range of individuals across every facet of this wonderfully rewarding hobby. I always learn something new, and helps keep me up to date with new talent in the community, new tobacco releases, and information about events to attend. No dottle at the end of the bowl with this one!

New pipe smoker Ryan
Love your show. Very educational for the new pipe smoker. Listen every Friday while I lite up a bowl. Wanted to get to the NASP show but couldn’t make it this year. Thanks Ryan PS A song or songs that are pretty amazing Good Bye Carolina or Homesick byThe Mark King Band.

Almost perfect
Brian does a wonderful job with the show balancing humor and knowledge of pipes and tobacco. He has great rapport with the guest which makes the show fluid and engaging. My one criticism is that some of the sound effects for the transitions are quite screechy and shocking to the ears. I know they’ve been there from the beginning but sometimes nostalgia isn’t a good enough reason to keep things. If you don’t change them I hope that you can at least turn down the volume a bit at those transitions. Update: Didn’t realize I rated this two stars; my bad! I meant to put 5 stars.

I found this show about 6 weeks ago and really look forward to when it drops. Rant away and I look forward to hearing some Donald “Duck”Dunn. 😎🎶

Fantastic podcast
For any of you out there interested in pipes this show is fantastic. Brian does an excellent job as host and Kevin comes across as an arrogant pr*ck but don’t let that stop you from listening.

A Great Show
There is something for all Pipe Enthusiasts on this podcast, Brian does a fantastic weekly show. I’ve picked up several good tips from him and his guests.

More than pipes!
I started listening to broaden my knowledge as a newbie pipe smoker. What I found was a source for advice and wisdom. In addition there’s a fantastic piece of music featured each week which is most appreciated. I look forward to each new episode on Tuesday. A great listen!

Sets the standard
Brian and Kevin do an excellent job of keep everyone entertained and apprised of everything going on in the industry. The only problem is if you binge 500 episodes to get caught up after you find the show you can’t stand his voice anymore. Joking Brian keep up the good work on my favorite podcast.

An awesome podcast I can’t live without
I’ve been listening to the show quite a while now and wanted to do my part and write a review - It's the least I can do for being provided this wonderful content for FREE! This show has been invaluable to me throughout my pipe smoking journey. I’ve learned so much and enjoyed every minute. For those of us obsessed with the pipe, there is no better podcast out there. Brian is a super knowledgable host who knows how to conduct an interview and distill information down to what’s easily understood by the listener. I could go on and on…but I’ve already made this long enough. If you like pipe smoking YOU WILL LOVE THIS SHOW. Thanks to everyone at Pipes Magazine Radio, you all are the best!!

Marc Dion and Rev. Malcolm… wow!
I love this podcast Brian and I thank you for all of the hard work that goes into creating new content week in and week out. I just want to say it is top notch! While every episode interests me greatly in one way or another (especially your musings on coffee!), your interviews with two people in particular really moved me and I have listened to each one several times. First, the interview with author Marc Dion was just excellent. He stirred my emotions with his vision of the brotherhood/sisterhood of pipe smokers coming home after a long day and finding a time of deep peace smoking a pipe - ‘that place where we all meet.’ I thought that was just beautiful. I cannot wait to read for from Marc. Second, your interview with Rev. Dr. Malcolm Guite was just so rich. As a pastor/theologian myself, I particularly resonated with the spiritual aspects of smoking a pipe that came through in his words. Pipe smoking is for me first and foremost a spiritual endeavor, as well as an art form, so what a treat to hear a spiritual poet speak to its meaning in his own life. I just loved it. Thanks again for your podcast and all of the work that obviously goes into it. It is a true highlight of my week and many other hours as I listen to ‘old gems’ from the past 500 episodes. Sincerely, Mike MacMillan, Florida

Last episode with Fred
I have really been enjoying the episodes with Fred, man the stuff he knows and seen is great. Wow The sat zoom is packed with some stellar people! The English estate info was good to know, so will there be a run on barlings in the estate market now haha. The guitar music with Willy was really nice, he was the first “big name” concert I went to at the local fair in the 90’s. Glad to hear the JDRF tins sold well! As usually your rant was fun haha

My Favorite Podcast
This show is awesome. As a newbie pipe-smoker, I'm learning so much and enjoying the hobby more with each episode. Brian (the host) is consistently engaging and informative. Guests range from master tobacco blenders to artisan pipe makers to poets and musicians. I also find myself laughing out loud at least once an episode. I have discovered that many in the pipe community are serious about the hobby without taking themselves too seriously... Brian seems to make sure of that. I'm in my mid-30's and plan on smoking for decades to come. I'm aiming for pleasant old codger by retirement... and I believe this podcast has set me up to achieve that goal. I can see aspects of my life that have already been positively impacted by the hobby and must give major credit to the great content on this podcast. Thanks Brian. Hope to meet you at a pipe show sometime. Royal Yacht Royal Yacht Royal Yacht Best, Dan Miller

A Must for Pipe Tobacco Enthusiasts!
Brian Levine and Kevin Godbee of PipesMagazine.com have put together a consistently educational and entertaining program. Kudos!

Love it!!
So good to my ears to hear a radio style show about a lifestyle I love. Only 32 years old but I have an old school mindset that misses the good radio shows that’s been replaced by cheesy podcasts. Keep it up my friends!!

Listen every week
Really enjoy the host and the guests he brings on. I’m a novice pipe smoker of 2 years. And I’ve learned a lot from the podcast and just think its a entertaining listen. Love all the Disney info and commentary. And one of my favorite segments is the music and rant at the ends.

Excellent Entertainment and Info! Great Host & Guests
I’m rather new to the hobby compared to many of you, but I jumped into the deep end. I work on pipes all day, restoring, making and smoking them. I’ve been listening to the current ones while going through the back catalogue. Fantastic guests, topics and info too. It’s entertaining and it is not one of those amateur hour podcasts. The host asks great questions and mixes it up enough so it stays fun and interesting. It’s not 100% deep pipe chat the entire time. I’m listening now while smoking some FVF in an old Sav. Bruna 123, working on an older Kaywoodie. Def. recommend subscribing! Peter @ RadiantPipes.com

The gold standard
A pipe and tobacco podcast, in radio show format , for those who enjoy the hobby. Informative and entertaining, with a diverse array of guests. The host is professional and on topic, and the shows moves at a good pace. And his rugged masculinity really shines through, even in audio only format.

Excellent way to learn about pipes and tobacco
Having been away from the hobby for 30 years, coming back as an old-newbie, I enjoy learning the history of various tobaccos, how they are blended, the history of pipes and pipe making and a whole lot more. Things I didn’t care about when I was in my 20’s. The host Brian Levine is a pleasure to listen to and there’s no screeching audio or silly cutting up between goofy hosts, and very minimal off-topic bunny trails. Tune in here if you’d like to get insight into pipe makers, learn from experts in the tobacco business, and general fun stuff about this relaxing and reflective hobby. I’ve listened to other podcasts that deal with pipe smoking and have found Brian’s to be top notch and jolly good fun.

Fantastic
Thank you for today, tomorrow and yesterday. Your podcast contains a fountain of knowledge, especially to this 45 year old new pipe smoker. Thoroughly enjoy the how tos, history, pipe making, blending, reviews, cellaring, opinions… I’m coming to this hobby as a new smoker, my wife of 21 years just shakes her head. This podcast has something for everyone. I can easily nerd out, being an engineer, to the details. In fact I listened to 20 + episodes and watched hours of YouTube videos before even lighting up. Thank you for the commitment and investment over the 473 episodes so a newbie like me can learn and start off on the right foot. Cheers

What I’ve been missing!
I tried to find a good pipe podcast a couple years back and had no luck. I have no idea how this show never crossed my path back then! This is exactly what I was looking for, amazing interviews, good music and the ads!! The ads alone make it worth it they have that nice classic feel to them and takes you back. Perfect to smoke a good pipe to!!

Love it
Absolutely love this show! If you smoke a pipe, you should listen. Brian does a great job providing hours of entertainment.

Can’t miss podcast.
I’ve been listening to Brian for a few years now and I can’t say enough good things about this podcast. Being self employed I work in excess of 60 hours a week and it’s always nice to unwind with a nice bowl of Virginia perique, a good cup of coffee and the pipes magazine Radio Show Podcast. Thanks for such a quality product Brian and Kevin.

Amazing show

My favorite
I listen to a ton of podcast and The Pipes Magazine Radio Show is my favorite. Always look forward to a new episode and still spend time to go back over older shows. Full of great guests and information. I’m always learning something new about pipes and tobacco. Thanks Brian and Kevin! Keep up the great work.

Outstanding!
Insightful, witty, and humorous, it doesn’t get any better than this for a pipe smoker.

Great program
Just found this podcast in October of 2020. Presently going through the old programs searching for those that I think will be of interest to me. Would love for you to have another guest appearance by Tom Eltang and his young protege who I think is trying to revive the Suhr pipe name. This is a magnificent work done in a very professional but down to earth manner. Finding this show is one of the few high points of 2020. Keep up the great work Brian. With no print magazines anymore you are a lifeline to those of us who crave all things pipes. Hope to meet you one day at a pipe show.

Something to look forward to!
I’ve only been a pipe smoker for the last few years now, but I quickly found this amazing podcast! I don’t get to enjoy my pipes as much as I’d like to, so listening each week keeps me a part of the community! Brian is always entertaining and provides a rare look into the pipe world. Very much recommended!

Wit and wisdom from a pro
Fire up a bowl and listen in as Brian interviews the best in the world of pipes and tobaccos. His shows are well produced and allow you to join in on weekly conversations with the best in the hobby!

Outstanding
This is an outstanding podcast. I have been listening for years and enjoy it every week. It is a treasure trove of pipe related information. Always a great listen when I’m working on pipes in the shop. Keep it up. As always happy smokes and thank you for the program. - Eric Weaver SeaSmoke Pipes and pottery

It Doesn't Get Any Better Than This.
Update - September 2020: Gosh, I’m not sure how long ago that I wrote this review, but as you see - I’m still here, I still listen, and I’m still a fan. The show is far better than it was during its first year and only continues to improve. I've been listening to the Pipes Magazine Radio Show podcast since the very first week that it aired and I never get tired of it. Funny, often irrelevant, witty, and enjoyable week in and week out. Host Brian Levine is unbelievably knowledgable about pipes and pipe tobacco. Even if you do not smoke and/or collect pipes, you'll still enjoy this podcast. It's really that good.

This is the place to learn
I’ve been listening to this podcast for several years and have learned so much about pipes and tobacco from it. It’s an invaluable resource for people getting started in pipe smoking but also for those of us who have done it for a while. As pipe smoking becomes more and more taboo it’s hard to find people to smoke with so this podcast is like smoking with a friend. And I don’t care what 9 out 10 psychiatrists say, I think Brian is alright!

Great podcast and a constant pipe companion!
I first came across this show in late 2016 as I searched for a pipe and tobacco podcast to accompany me as I delved into this hobby of ours. It is now almost 4 years into this journey, and I always look forward to each installment! The wealth of knowledge offered, complete with a full spectrum of guests, off-topic rabbit holes, and tobacco lore, (not to mention the occasional hard-hitting rant) have entertained and informed me and leaves me wanting more! The entire catalog of shows has meticulously been digested twice over now, and though the early shows were a bit raw, the current production quality is a testament to the show's constant improvement since then! Keep up the great work!
