We're going on a bit of a detective spree today, and what better way to kick things off than with a little chat about pipes? We all know how Sherlock loved his, and honestly, who can resist the allure of a finely crafted smoking instrument?First up, there's the iconic Briar Pipe. You've likely seen this one in the hands of wise old gentlemen – it's got that vintage charm, doesn't it? Then there's the artistic Meerschaum. It's not just a pipe but a piece of art. Oh, and how can we forget the rustic Corncob, famously loved by none other than Mark Twain? If you're channelling your inner Sherlock, then the Calabash is your go-to with its unique gourd shape. And for those long, thoughtful evening puffs, the Churchwarden, with its elongated stem, is just sublime.....Speaking of sublime, our Movie of the Week is none other than "Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows". Guy Ritchie has truly outdone himself with this one. With Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law returning as our beloved Holmes-Watson duo, the stakes are high, and the suspense is palpable. Moriarty's dark schemes, some heart-pounding action, and that climactic chess game — pure cinematic gold! And, Dads, let's chat about that epic showdown at the Reichenbach Falls. It's one for the books!Now, for a blast from the past, who remembers "Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century"? It's a futuristic twist with our detective being resurrected, flying drones, a techy London, and – wait for it – a robotic Watson! If you're looking for some quality time with the kiddos, this animated series is just the ticket. It's a delightful reminder that Holmes' magic never fades, no matter the era.So, Dads, whether you're a budding detective, a pipe aficionado, or just here for the nostalgia, we've got a treat for you today. Put on your thinking caps, maybe light up a pipe, and let's dive into this mystery-filled episode of Bad Dads Film Review!
An Old Meerschaum From Coals Of Fire And Other Stories, Volume II. (of III.)
Albequerque! Meerschaum pipe! 2:22! FREEMASONS! This week, our heroes take a deep, deep, deep dive into the VERY authentic documentary, National Treasure.

A widower retires to a country house that was once occupied by a serial killer. His hopes of a quiet life are quickly dashed when there is another murder in the village. Is a copycat on the prowl? This is an audio presentation of "The Meerschaum Pipe" by L.A. Lewis, first published in 'Tales of the Grotesque: A Collection of Uneasy Tales' (Philip Alan), 1934. Out of print for a long time, the collection is now available to buy in paperback from Shadow Publishing (https://www.shadowpublishing.net/product-page/tales-of-the-grotesque-a-collection-of-uneasy-tales) If you'd like to learn more about the author, may I suggest the following blogs: http://desturmobed.blogspot.com/2016/01/la-lewis.html https://themenaceofobjects.wordpress.com/2014/06/20/l-a-lewis-tales-of-the-grotesque/

Hi Friends,Here’s a special quarantine pod for all you quarancuties. Madeline and Olivia dissect the seminal Nic Cage classic “National Treasure” that Madeline recounts pretty much from memory. It’s fun, it’s done over Skype, Madeline drinks a margarita. There’s talk of Sean Bean, Sean Bean impressions and Meerschaum pipes. What is Nic Cage’s hair piece made of? What exactly is the definition of a firsty-lasty? Madeline confesses she literally has a knowledge of nothing except for this movie and also the second movie. (National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets) They talk about Nic Cage as a potential love interest, Sean Bean impressions, and the multiple exotic and historical locales. Fun Fact: Diane Kruger did all her food truck stunts. You heard it here second. Listen wherever podcasts are heard!
The final episode in our Nic Cage summer series is here. National Treasure may not have been a summer blockbuster with a November release, but it was a summer movie at heart. Jackie adores this movie and Christy... hate watched it. Disagreement is fun! What we can agree on is the true crime - and a conspiracy theory or two - behind the movie is utterly fascinating.

“L.A. Lewis never doubted the existence of demonic creatures and elements on the other side of the ‚web‘ which divides the astral from the physical. Some of these monstrous gremlins and evilly alluring entities, which continually strive to break through into our world are graphically described in this book – almost as if the author genuinely thought he had witnessed these sights, rather than their merely stemming from an active imagination. (…)” — Richard Dalby
The fellas continue their struggle with interstate podcast syncopations, and summer humidity. David finally adopts “cigarette french toast steak tobacco” while arriving at an elitist beef-jerky paved crossroad. Patience runs thin quickly when “Big Brown Water” Noah attempts to research African tobacco, and David introduces the flowery spoils of his previous week’s bidding war. Tensions run high over the question of what exactly constitutes an “estate pipe”, overpayment for lipstick erection pipes, and mysterious little metal cigarettes. Noah dreams about an inoffensive Meerschaum hatchet pipe, while David struggles with the first attempt at smoking the floral Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pipe.

Jon David congratulates Peter Massey on his 100th Loyal Squire’s punchcard, which amounts to 150lbs purchased tobacco from the Country Squire. New pipe club members announced (I won’t try to butcher their names in text as well.) Addendum note: NOLA Pipe Club will be taking a day trip to the Squire on Saturday 2/24. Topic: JD and Beau reopen the discussion on Pipe Culture, specifically looking at pipe smoking archetypes with community commentary provided by listeners, all detailed below. Additional thanks to www.reddit.com/r/pipetobacco for their contributions to this episode. /u/SupraMario – “I'm in between both, I've got money to blow on lbs of tobacco and pipes I want...but don't (ok ok, not on the TAD part on the PAD I restrain myself). I own a farm but am a pencil pusher by day...So not poor, not super rich, own a farm, but work in an office.” /u/LaphroaigianSlip – “The archetypes in my mind are this; one smokes a smooth red stain or black painted briar and the other smokes a humble cob. The briar has a brass or silver ash guard while the cob is unfinished and uneven at the top. The briar is either a Dublin or Billiard. The cob looks somewhere in between the style of Missouri Meerschaum's Mark Twain and The General. That is, the American farmer. The western European farmer would have a more local pipe made of briar, a small pipe with brown stain. Further east you might imagine someone farming in the hills of Greece with a simple bent Meerschaum, enjoying some Latakia with a bottle of ouzo. Further East still I in vision a Chinese farmer coming home in the evening. He sits down with his bamboo pipe. A durable piece that can last a lifetime, even be passed on generationally like a briar while having similar markings to the well worn corn cob pipe, familiar with being handled by dirty hands. It has the markings of earnest and frequent use. The central idea being that the farmer has his pipe from a more local and practical place while the aristocratic has the luxury of smoking something from another continent. The aristocrat has a clean smooth pipe, one in a rotation while the farmer's pipes each see daily use.” Dillon Shalinder (sp?) – “When I think about the aristocrats, the rich types, I’m reminded of a neat movie called ‘Evil Under the Sun”. The normalcy of seeing a well-to-do man with a pipe allowed the villain to hide a key piece of evidence, that in fact there was a diamond in his pipe the whole movie.” /r/Broskheim – “If we're talking straight stereotypes, the Farmer (blue collar) is the guy who has 1 pipe (probably a cob or a basket briar), and smokes one blend (probably an a drug store OTC) all day long. The Aristocrat is more the type we see on these kinds of forums. Smokes a multitude of blends from a multitude of pipes, probably once or, at most, twice a day. Probably pairs it with a beverage of some sort, and takes time out of his day to specifically enjoy the pipe.” Brad Hoctor (@hoctorthelovedr) – “To me a white collar, or aristocratic pipe smoker, is a bit more picky, typically having artisan-carved pipes and a wide variety of tinned blends in their cellar, whereas the blue collar pipe smoker or farmer is perfectly content with a good ol’ cob and a low-end factory pipe and a pouch of Captain Black.” Darren – “When I think of a Farmer who smokes a pipe I think of Charles Ingalls from ‘The Little House on the Prairie’. He would often enjoy his pipe in the evening after supper at the kitchen table, or outside leaning on the fence rail. Charles was a hard working farmer who enjoyed his pipe. Nothing better than a cool smoke to help wind down after a hard days work. Really enjoy the show.” Corey Grip – “I would like to contribute to the Farmer side. There are pictures of my grandfather who was born in 1927. There are two pictures of him as a kid, and one with my grandmother from 1953. And no we do not have the pipe still unfortunately. The pictures were taken at their 80-acre farm in Oklahoma.” (photos posted to FB) John Kirk Griffin – “Hey brothers, long time listener. I was so excited for this specific episode because, well, I’m a farmer! There’s something beautiful and primal about sitting on a tractor with a pipe packed with your favorite blend. It’s these hours of driving in slow circles that are prime moments for smoking a pipe. Farmers are very contemplative people, we spend many hours doing repetitive and sometimes monotonous work which gives us ample time to think. It’s during these times of deep contemplation that farmers turn to our pipes as our faithful companion. The farmer is a dying breed. We’ve gone from almost 90% farm workers to less than 1% in the US. We are frequently forgotten and sometimes marginalized folk, but we are a tough and resilient folk. And so next time you pack a pipe, remember the farmer who worked hard to grown and harvest those beautiful and tasty leaves. Love you guys, love the show. Keep up the great work.” /u/randallleemorgan – “When I think of the archetype of the farmer I'm reminded of my grandfather, a true Mississippian born and raised outside a small town no one would recognize. A man that worked as a millwright every day of his adult life because that's what he had (and I think loved) to do. Farming was something he didn't do for income but for survival; to make ends meet. Planting his own fruits and vegetables, raising chickens, and even hunting during the fall and winter all to provide for his family. This man is someone who loves a good pipe full of some tobacco, I’m guessing Cherry (Didn’t everyone in the 60’s smoke cherry tobacco). Later in life before I was born he had to lay down the pipe for the sake of my grandmother's heart condition but his the pipe wasn't his only source of vitamin-N. Maybe a nice big cheek-full of some Beechnut Chewing Tobacco while reading the paper or sitting on the tailgate of his old GMC secretly slipping is 4 year old grandson a strip of that chewing tobacco that may or may not have provided the aforementioned grandson his first case of nicotine sickness. The farmer archetype is that of someone who isn’t afraid to get his/her hands dirty. Someone who works hard every day to provide in time of plenty and time of lean. But the pipe is his one guilty pleasure, something just for him. Darren – “I recommend reading this article by Jonah Goldberg called ‘Democracy in the Tobacconist’s’ (http://www.nationalreview.com/article/367088/democracy-tobacconists-jonah-goldberg) and it’s really about cigars but I feel there are a lot of themes that will overlap. The G.K. Chesterton quote in particular addresses why it may be frowned upon and both social strata and why they should not care” G.K. Chesterton quote - "To have a horror of tobacco is not to have an abstract standard of right; but exactly the opposite. It is to have no standard of right whatever; and to make certain local likes and dislikes as a substitute. Nobody who has an abstract standard of right and wrong can possibly think it wrong to smoke a cigar. It is a vague sentimental notion that certain habits were not suitable to the old log cabin or the old hometown. It has a vague utilitarian notion that certain habits are not directly useful in the new amalgamated stores or the new financial gambling-hell. If his aged mother or his economic master dislikes to see a young man hanging about with a pipe in his mouth, the action becomes a sin; or the nearest that such a moral philosophy can come to the idea of a sin. A man does not chop wood for the log hut by smoking; and a man does not make dividends for the Big Boss by smoking; and therefore smoking has a smell as of something sinful." David Sirette – “I’m curious about the shift in preferential pipe shapes over time. I’ve always been told and read that in the 19th and early 20th centuries that bent pipes were preferred by lower-class smokers and manual laborers due to the hands free clench-ability and then straight pipes were preferred by those white-collared and upper class smokers. But then it seems that we began to see a shift mid-century with bent pipes becoming more expensive and artistic and straight billiards becoming a working man’s utility pipe. I’m curious to know what spurred this change. Could it have been that manufacturing techniques drove down the cost of straight pipes? Perhaps it was art and other fashion trends? Even today I would say that when you look at higher end pipes we see more swooping curves and bent stems and less expensive factory pipes in the form of straight billiards and apples. Is what we see a shift in aesthetics only? Or are our behaviors and smoking rituals changing?” Pipe Question of the Week: Ryan Smith in Louisiana asks “When people say a blend is burley-based I figure there are large variations in what the flavors can be. Some burley-based blends are cigarette-like, high in nicotine and a bit harsh smoke for me, but some are mild and nutty that have that awesome codger-like quality. I tend to prefer the latter. Is it a specific type of burley I should be looking for or are the condiment tobaccos more to blame for the large variations? PS. Looking forward to meeting you guys when the NOLA Pipe Club comes up to invade the Squire in February. Thanks for the show and keep up the great work.” Paraphrasing here, but Jon David comments that burleys are varied and not all are created equal. Air cured burley is softer, kind of nutty, more nicotine, and just all around smoother and then we have toasted and fire-cured burleys that are smokier because the leaves are infused with these particles. They’ll be a little more harsh, smoky, toasty. But burley is lurking everywhere. Unless the blend specifically says “no burley”, it’s probably in there somewhere. It’s so adaptable. It’s a chameleon. Takes on flavors of other tobaccos. Ages well. Adds body and nice mouthfeel. Thick clouds of smoke. They also kind of have a bad rap. Some people assume they just don’t like burley when they don’t realize there are many different kinds! Quick Fire with the Squire: Brought in by Mike Kinsey. #1 Transformers (JD and Beau) or G.I.

Jon David is not only an encouragement as a person but a true master in the field of tobacco. I have learned an incredible amount from him, and truly developed a love of the pipe as a result. Beau is an incredible host, who puts out a high quality show time and time again. The sound quality is flawless, and the content equally so. You will not be disappointed subscribing to this show, I’ve binged every episode since discovering them in Afghanistan and will continue to be an avid listener. Jon David & Beau, thank y’all for the hard work y’all do for us, I think I can speak for the entire community when I say that you are truly appreciated. Thanks & Gig Em! @cdumo – “Granted as the grandson of French immigrants, my perspective may be different, but if you were going to smoke, it was briar whether you were a nobleman, farmer, or (as my family was) butcher. The briar pipe (invented in France, let’s not forget) was an equalizer. Alternatively, when you talk to old servicemen, they’ll talk about encountering meerschaum pipes (which many people consider fairly aristocratic) on their travels and seeing them as cheap, poor men’s pipes that could be picked up for pennies and not worth their time.” Ending & Wrap-up: Please check out the show sponsor websites to learn more about them.

When a figure like Sherlock Holmes has been around for over a century, there are bound to be misconceptions that creep into public thinking. We blame this not on carelessness or laziness but rather on the overwhelming popularity of the great detective. The image of Holmes clad in deerstalker and Inverness cape, clenching a Meerschaum pipe in his teeth is the universal, if cliched, image of a detective. But was it true? We were recently reminded of a number of classic myths about Sherlock Holmes, thanks to (also a sponsor of our program): it has long been rumored that men wore black armbands throughout the city of London after reading "The Final Problem" in the Strand Magazine. And only anecdotal evidence has been referenced whenever this supposed fact is brought up. The BSJ is offering a free year's subscription to anyone who can definitively prove that such mourning attire was worn in response to the death of Sherlock Holmes. That got us to thinking: what other Sherlockian myths are there? And are we guilty of propagating any of them ourselves? Join us for a quick game show-style question and answer session on the topic, as well as a reading of your comments from our last show and some recent news from the world of Sherlock Holmes. The Editor's Gas-Lamp: Rather than the traditional gas-lamp, which began under Edgar Smith's editorship of the Baker Street Journal, we thought we would mark May 5 as the 123rd anniversary of Christopher Morley's birth by reading two of his poems: the very short "The Secret" and the quite remarkable "Toulemonde."
