Your Pals Nate and Justin were invited to spend the day with our Pals at the Fort Wayne Cigar and Pipe Club in Fort Wayne, Indiana. We had such a fantastic day we almost forgot to record. Thanks so much to our kind and friendly hosts. We can't wait until next year!
Stranger from Cabela's aka Tyler joins your Pals for a smoke, a drink, and a hearty chuckle.
Gentlemanly Curmudgeon sounds like an oxymoron, but for this episode it couldn't be more apropos.
You know him. The best head of hair in the pipe world. The King of Selfies. The god of pipe related Instagram posts. The carbless wonder. The Escudo wearing tanner. Super-Pal, Jay Furman. Jay is a tremendous supporter of this show. This week, we smoke a blend that he sent us, and he's made the very generous offer of sending YOU some too. There's a catch... you must be the first person to message him the name of the blend and the code word buried in this episode.
This week we wrap up the first impressions marathon through the D&S blends by GL Pease. What a tremendous journey! Thanks Mike for the generous samples and thanks Greg for blending such exceptionally well rounded mixtures in this series.
Like a quality pipe, each Pal is unique. We all hope to make our mark on the world. Leave something to be remembered by.
Fantasy, make-believe, pretend, imaginary. When it comes to football, it doesn't feel fake to us. It's joyful goodness. Like all good things, it must come to an end. Join us, and find out which of your Pals won the inaugural Pipes, Pours, Pals, and Pigskin Fantasy Football League.
There has been a bourbon heist of extraordinary proportions. Pour your favorite drink and enjoy the tale (whether it's tall or not).
This episode is chock full of ridiculousness. Show tunes, musicals, getting murdered by an unhinged Irishman. Grab a pipe, your favorite tobacco, and a comfy seat. Enjoy an hour of nutty fodder.
Two experiences makes one an expert right? Of course not! Your Pals Justin and Nate aren't shy about admitting that we don't know what we are talking about. Not about pipes. Not about tobacco. Not about booze. Not even about life. We DO know about having a great time WITH pipes, tobacco, booze, and most importantly...PALS!
If you've listened for any period of time, you know we speak freely. Our discourse always meanders through tobacco, drinks, sports, work, family, life, entertainment, and general nonsense. This week we tackle some very important and hotly contested topics. Find your lounge, sit back, relax...heck, even join in the conversation. Through email or Instagram of course. Otherwise, people might think you're talking to yourself.
First of all, thank you so much for bearing with us while we missed a week due to illness. We are on the mend, but between the down time and the Thanksgiving holiday we got to examine and reflect on you, our Pals. We had so many people reach out with well wishes and tales of withdraw. We read all of your comments and messages but even went a step further and stalked you to learn more about our Pals. The major standout was that we have such a diverse community. We are thankful for each and every ...
It started as a joke in the first episode (if I remember right), and it's been subject of so much talk in the first 34 episodes. The much anticipated murder episode is here. Will both of your Pals survive? Grab a drink, a pipe, relax wherever you are, and enjoy some premium murder content.
Grab a drink and a smoke, and hunker in for the gripping accounts of our Pal Nate's adventures south of the border.
Hey Pal, did the title freak you out? Did you get a lump in your throat thinking your Pals Justin and Nate might be calling it quits? You won't get rid of us that easily. This "not a real episode" episode, is a short oddity that we won't count towards our normal episode count. Your Pal Nate is down ill with the Mexican tap water blues, and Mrs. Codger and Justin got some unfortunate news about one of their beloved fur-babies. If you haven't been scared off yet, hang around and listen to your Pal...
I ain't no mathmagician, but even I know what happened to your Pal Justin is a near impossibility. Grab a pipe and a drink, sit back and relax, and listen in for what is sure to be the most random occurrence that's happened in some time.
On the tail of the Vegas Pipe Show (which neither of us got to go to), what more appropriate time to talk about the Vegas experience. A place unique all it's own, Vegas draws some of the oddest people in the world, much like this podcast. Join your oddball Pals, Justin and Nate, for a great time of smoking, drinking, lounging, and laughing. Send us your funny Vegas experiences!
Your Pal Justin got the pleasure of exposing the piping world to some newbies this week! What a thrill! Is there anything more pure in this hobby than hooking a new person into the very hobby that you know will bankrupt them with the unavoidable pipe and tobacco acquisition syndrome? Imagine all of the shows they'll attend, artisan pipes they'll buy, and McClelland blends they'll store away in their never-ending cellars full of 6 lifetimes of tobacco. Listen in as we recount their first experien...
Just some pals enjoying pipes, pours, pierogi, and pigskin in the pole barn. This episode was a first. We finally ventured out from the basement and decided to enjoy the fall atmosphere from the open door of Nate's garage. Just us and the critters.
We were showered with generosity from our listeners this week! Our Pals Mike and Russ both separately gave generously not only to Nate and I, but for you as well. Their gifts will make for lots of future content. You may think "Wow! You really did strike gold with all those goodies!" but the goodies aren't the gold. Seriously, the Pals we've made, the interactions we've had, and the relationships we've built are the true gold we struck.
Football, Food, and Fun. Yes, we did talk some about pipes, tobacco, and drinks. Like always, there was a healthy dose of small talk, current sports, and of course food. Make sure to have a full belly before you listen or you'll clear out the fridge from the hunger you'll develop while listening.
Your Pals Nate and Justin hash out so much this week. It was a fast paced, rabbit chasing, but lively episode. To find out our (almost) endorsement, you'll have to suffer through a leisurely smoke and drink with the guys with the worst ADHD in the pipe world.
You already know it, but we are idiots. This episode was plum full of errors. I said it's episode 27, definitely 26. I said our Bill of Laeding blend has burley, it's burley cavendish (close). I'm sure you'll listen and find other things we're completely wrong about. Listen Pal, you were warned. We are idiots that know absolutely nothing, but we're YOUR idiots that know absolutely nothing, and we are FUN idiots that know absolutely nothing. Did I mention we know absolutely nothing? What I do kno...
You guys must have really enjoyed Mrs. Codger. Her debut episode was by far our most listened to episode in a week's time. Although we are all bummed our Pal Nate is missing a second episode, at least there is someone enjoyable to cohost along side Justin. Nate plans to be back next week for episode 26. Thanks for joining us through 25 episodes so far!
This episode took a feminine turn! Our biggest fan joins as cohost in Nate's stead as he is taking a break due to the birth of his child. Your pal Mrs. Codger (Sarah) gives us the rundown on her pipe smoking preferences and lets you guys get to know her a bit.
Sometimes a certain tobacco just doesn't hit right. Today was one of those days. Find out what made your Pal Nate's face turn green. Fantasy Football signups are coming to a close. Reach out if you're interested. Some of our Pals have reached about how to support the podcast. If you are one of those Pals, you can help support us by "buying us a coffee" at the link below. If you'd like to support in a different way, feel free to hit us up at pipespoursandpals@gmail.com or on Instagram. buymeacoff...
I don't know if anyone even reads these descriptions, so here is a test. The first listener (in the Continental US) to email pipespoursandpals@gmail.com and tells us what Nate's favorite word is, will get a special gift sent to them from your Pals!
It couldn't be helped! Sometimes circumstances dictate a change in plans. Don't worry this was a good and worthwhile hijacking, but you'll have to listen to find out.
Episode 20 might be our last. Seriously, one of your Pals came out with such a hot take that you might chase us off the air. Sit back and enjoy a pipe with us, while you can... You might never want to listen to this podcast again. Who are we kidding? You all know we're both idiots and you listen anyway. Try not to give us TOO hard of a time. Your Pal Nate is very sensitive.
As Pals, we hang out all the time. "Chilling" or "hanging out" are fine terms when it comes to getting together in the basement, garage, greenhouse, or porch to enjoy a brew and a pipe. Heading out on a trip, excursion, or out on the town is a totally different ballgame. "Hanging out" or "chilling" just doesn't quite make the grade in describing such an occasion. Call it what you will, "Pal-wow" is what we shall henceforth call our special events. It's certainly got a better ring than "Man-date"...
