We did it! In spite of having similar tastes in tobaccos, your pals Nate and Justin have yet to give a blend the same rating. Until now! Was it good, bad, or "eh"? To find out, you'll have to suffer through our normal amount of small talk and a complete lack of tobacco expertise.
"I'd never pick that color", "Brussel sprouts are gross", "fishing is icky", "IPA's are nasty", "light beers taste like water", etc. One has a right to one's personal preferences. You know what they say about opinions. Like butts, everyone has one and they always think theirs is great and everyone else's stinks. Now, that doesn't mean you can't catch a healthy dose of ribbing for your preferences, and good Pals will always ensure that happens. Learning our differences, about our differences, and...
It's not every day that you come across something incredible, unless you're Nate. Some smokes and drinks are incredible, some not so incredible. One thing that is never not incredible is enjoying time with a pal. Relax and lounge with your Pals Nate and Justin as you sit back and enjoy an incredible smoke and an incredible drink. Most importantly, allow yourself to have an incredible time!
Wowza! We covered a lot of nothing this episode. Amateur radio, home improvement, hockey, fishy hands, a little tobacco, Nate losing his man-card, and even drinking urine. Boy howdy! You'd think we completely forgot about pipe smoking but I assure we smoked the entire time. Maybe, just maybe, one day we will begin to consistently keep on topic.
If it weren't for dads we wouldn't be here. We aren't the final authority on the definition of a good dad, but for sure a good dad is more than just the guy that brought you into this world. Your dad may not even be your biological father. Maybe your "dad" is/was a friend or another relative. All of our dads are unique, and we believe great ones should be celebrated! Light a smoke and raise a glass to the most influential dad(s) in your life! We have been continuously working to improve the soun...
I'm not superstitious, but I'm a little stitious. Your pal Justin had a feeling we needed to skip episode 13 because it's supposedly unlucky. Against my better judgement we rolled with it. Wouldn't you know, the system stopped recording part way through one of the most pipe/tobacco relevant episodes we have recorded to date. We had our pal Christian on as a guest and had a very enlightening and helpful conversation on dealing with the stigma of smoking and drinking as a person with a super relig...
Humans by nature are passionate. Passionate about specific sports and their favorite teams, passionate about their favorite brands, and some of us are even passionate about pipes and tobacco. We're all pals here. One thing I've always noticed when I'm with my pals is that there is ALWAYS healthy ribbing. Grab your pipe that somebody else probably thinks is built poorly, fill it with tobacco that someone else surely turns their nose up at, relax in your car that somebody probably thinks is junk o...
No matter what you call them: friends, buddies, chums, sometimes expletives, or Pals (as we call them), it's always great to make trips with a person you enjoy. Your Pals Nate and Justin made the trek together to the 2022 Chicago Pipe Show where we thoroughly enjoyed our time. We went, we saw, we looked, we bought, we met, we enjoyed, we went broke, but most importantly we had a blast. Grab that new pipe and tin of unicorn tobacco that you got at the show, and relax with us for a bit as we refle...
What do you get when pals get together to chill, smoke, and drink? Well, in this case it's typically running headlong down rabbit trails just shooting the breeze and enjoying company. That's ok. We've embraced it. It's basically been 10 episodes of smoking lounge small talk and that's exactly what we wanted. We wanted a place based on pipes, tobacco, and drinks. A place where pals can gather regularly and enjoy the company of like minded people and just hang out. Nothing more, nothing less. Than...
Listen, in our defense we didn't eat before recording. Recording two hungry chubby guys probably wasn't the best call for a non-food topical podcast. That's the equivalent of grocery shopping on an empty stomach, it almost never goes as planned. We managed to power through our starvation driven rambling and were able to have a substantive discussion on our first Bill of Laeding blend, Esoterica And So To Bed, as well as giving our thoughts on some bourbon and beer. Special thanks to our friend a...
It's time! It's time!!!! It's like Christmas! I ignorantly agreed to not smoke Match 20 for a little over a month following Episode 3 and that day has finally arrived. Join your pals Justin and Nate as we try the long awaited blind taste test of My Mixture 965 variants. Will we be able to tell the difference? https://www.buymeacoffee.com/pipespourspals
Your pals Nate and Justin have been jonesing for Match 20 since hastily agreeing to abstain until our episode 8 blind taste test. The withdraw experience has left us in a rambling state of delirium. It's only a week away, but lets be honest, our episodes are never going to be formally organized because that could ruin the vibe of informally hanging out with your pals. Pull up and easy chair, fill up your pipe, grab your favorite pour, and chill with us for a while. https://www.buymeacoffee.com/p...
Seinfeld may have coined the phrase, but this episode truly embodies it. This is without a doubt "a show about nothing." This is what happens when 2 guys with ADHD sit down to record a podcast without an outline. In all reality, this is EXACTLY what it is to sit down and enjoy a smoke and a drink your pals Nate and Justin. Sit back and enjoy shooting the breeze with pals while you enjoy a bowl of whatever you want and a pour of whatever you please. This exactly what a heavy heart needs after a r...
We have it on good authority that the best way to enjoy Pipes, Pours, and Pals is in the buff. Of course we're referring to listening to the podcast and not physically enjoying pipes and drinks with your pals while in your birthday suit. That might be a tad awkward for you AND your pals. I wish I had clarified that with Nate before he showed up to the studio to record today's hot take episode where we discuss our least-liked blends.
Nate and Justin's ship went down and they ended up stranded on a desert island. The only thing that washed ashore is a well timed shipment of each of their favorite blends and pipes.
Happy National Beer Day 2022! Grab your favorite beer, load up your pipe with a My Mixture 965 variant, pull up a chair, and relax with us for a while.
Your pals Nate and Justin recap their trip to the 2022 Muletown Pipe Show in Columbia Tennessee.
An introduction to your pals Justin and Nate. Be a pal! sit back with a pipe, your favorite tobacco, and/or your pour of choice and join us on our new journey into the podcast world. Contact us at pipespoursandpals@gmail.com
