    Ivy Insights

    The Pipe Cottage Podcast is a delightful must-listen for those seeking a blend of old-time morals, manly banter, and moments of reflection that can only be found while enjoying a pipe. With a warm welcome to Kentucky and an encouragement to keep up the great work, this podcast immediately establishes a sense of camaraderie and connection with its listeners.

    One of the best aspects of The Pipe Cottage Podcast is its ability to transport listeners back to simpler times. The host's stories about setting around with his grandpa at the market, surrounded by coon hunting buddies, evoke feelings of nostalgia and remind us of the wisdom passed down by older generations. This podcast brings back forgotten lessons about taking our time, being meaningful in our actions and words, and appreciating life's small moments. Additionally, the discussions on pipe smoking add an extra layer of enjoyment for enthusiasts or those curious about the practice.

    In terms of criticism, it is challenging to find any significant flaws in The Pipe Cottage Podcast. However, one possible improvement could be diversifying the topic range to appeal to a broader audience. While the focus on old-time morals and pipe smoking is enjoyable for many listeners, incorporating other topics or perspectives could attract even more followers. Nonetheless, this minor suggestion does not detract from the overall charm and value provided by this podcast.

    In conclusion, The Pipe Cottage Podcast offers a delightful mix of nostalgia-inducing tales and reflections paired with insightful discussions on pipe smoking. Its ability to transport listeners back in time to cherished memories creates an emotional connection that few podcasts can achieve. Despite some minor room for expansion in topics covered, The Pipe Cottage Podcast remains a genuinely wonderful source of entertainment and enlightenment.

    Pipe Smoking: The Importance of Local Pipe Shops

    Brick and mortar pipe stores are becoming more rare, and when we do see them, cigars tend to take center stage. I enjoy a good cigar as much as the next guy, but I reach for a pipe far more.  My first reaction when walking into a local tobacco shop is, where's the pipes? I can't be the only person who wishes more quality pipe shops existed. But why? Why does it matter? Why would I want to visit a physical store when I can order most anything I want online and have it shipped to my door?  I'm sure the opinions on this topic are legion, but here are a few of my own answers to this question… Subscribe to The Pipe Cottage YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@thepipecottage3301 Follow The Pipe Cottage on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thepipecottage/ Visit The Pipe Cottage website: https://thepipecottage.com/

    An American Tradition: Corn Cob Pipes and Aromatic Tobacco

    Play Episode Listen Later Sep 7, 2021 12:06


    In my mind, few images are more strikingly American than a person of the land smoking an aromatic blend in a corn cob pipe. Many will disagree, but that's ok. Briar is not an American product, and briar pipes did not originate on American soil. But again, that's ok. We owe a great debt to our European friends who first discovered and mastered the art of briar pipe making. But the humble cob is the domain of American craftsmanship, unequalled by anyone else in the world.  To me, the most appropriate and iconic tobaccos for the cob are aromatic blends. Although often belittled or neglected by pipe enthusiasts, aromatic blends are important to the pipe smoking world, and rightfully so. Let's talk about the splendid relationship that exists between cob pipes, aromatic pipe tobacco, and the culture of rural America.
