Podcasts about savinelli

Cindy Saka and Yvonne Ramee from Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust join us along with Laudisi Distribution Group's Assistant Director, Kaz Walters as we review the Red Meat Lovers Beef Stick cigar and Savinelli's Doblone d'Oro pipe tobacco! Recorded live from the 7-20-4 Lounge!

In this episode, Melissa Pascucci shares her success finding and pursuing a profession she loves.  Melissa shares the steps she took to help find her new career.  Melissa never stopped attending events at her school, Marino Campus.  She participated in all professional and community events hosted and promoted by the Dan Marino Campus.  She emphasizes the importance of pursuing learning and growth.  She says that one must stay connected to the community.  Attending events helps you to make new connections with people that can help you find a career that is your passion.  Melissa also stressed the importance of volunteering to obtain experience and exposure.  Melissa connected with a mentor, Gabriella Procci, whom she met through a program Dan Marino Campus had started called the Academy.  The Academy offered continuing education for graduates of the Dan Marino program.  This mentor encouraged Melissa to pursue working with the neurodivergent population.  Gabrielle recommended Melissa for an internship at the Social Mind Center.  The Social Mind Center had not had this type of internship before; we were sure we could all learn from each other.  Melissa started as a paid intern at the Center, coming several days a week to assist in social communication groups.  She would shadow Dr. Savinelli in social groups.  It modeled running a social group, which requires lesson planning, teaching strategies, and promoting opportunities for the kids to engage and connect. There is also the part of managing the sticky situations that arise.  Melissa learned to help children/teens to cope with stressful situations.  Melissa also became a moderator with the Brick Club (Brick-by-Brick Programme).  Becoming a moderator for Brick Club required her to complete a course and additional hands-on training running a group.  The internship gave Melissa a preview of what a career working with a neurodivergent community may be like.  It allowed her the opportunity to experience teaching and managing a group.  We both agreed that the best possible experience to determine your career path is exposure to different opportunities to observe and work in a field of interest, as an intern or even a volunteer.   

Our featured interview tonight is with Rich Esserman. Rich has been smoking, collecting, and writing about pipes for over 40-years, and he is best known for collecting large-size Dunhill pipes. Brian and Rich are going back to the discussions with Fred Hanna to see where Rich agrees with Fred, and where he has his own take on different aspects of pipes and tobacco. At the top of the show, Brian will have a tobacco review on Savinelli's Janus blend.

In this special 3rd anniversary episode, we have a special show featuring special guests Steve Saka from Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust, Jeremy Reeves, Master Blender from Cornell & Diehl, Kaz Walters the National Account Manager from Laudisi Distribution Group (the guys that distribute Peterson and Savinelli pipes, Cornell & Diehl, GL Pease, Kiribi Lighters...you get the picture), and De'Bree from the 7-20-4 Lounge. We will be smoking the Stillwell Star Navy No. 1056 from Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust and Black Frigate from Cornell & Diehl!  Not Just Blowing Smoke is the cigar and pipe podcast that brings the knowledge, expertise, and fun of Twins Smoke Shop right to you.

Dr. Caydee Savinelli leads the Honey Bee Health Coalition's task force on Minimizing Pesticide Risk For Honey Bees. Caydee is a passionate entomologist and pollinators of all kinds are a big part of her life, so she has been very instrumental in helping the HBHC develop its best management practices for pesticide protection. Caydee stresses that both beekeepers and farmers need to understand the risks of pesticides to honey bees and works with both pesticide manufacturers and farmers so the labels are fully understandable. Good pollinator stewardship boils down to good communication between pesticide manufacturers, farmers, and beekeepers, knowing bee habits, understanding an awareness of local laws, and putting all of these together for a Best Management Practice so farmers and honey bees can both thrive. In addition to Caydee, one of our regional beekeepers and Bee Culture regular contributor, Ed Colby sends us a reading from his new book, A Beekeeper's Life - Tales from the Bottom Board, available on Amazon or wherever you buy your books!

Smoking some Country Squire tobacco in a DeLuxe Milano by Savinelli. Talking about things that are happening in our little corner of the world, this Wednesday's episode and Christmas is getting ever so much closer.

The Return of Monday Night Smoke. Tonight I smoke some McClelland #2015 in a deluxe by Savinelli.

This episode of Country Squire Radio is brought to you by Missouri Meerschaum and the Tin Society. We thank them for supporting this show, and we thank you for supporting them. Episode 240: St. Patrick’s Day Special Welcome & Housekeeping: Jon David and Beau are back! Well...back and recovering from the Bachelor Party! Too much Boodles? Important thing to note, Beau did not upchuck from a cigar and he brought the Boodles! Man, what a guy! Anyway, so on arriving to the Squire, mere minutes before CSR showtime, JD gets a package delivered from Pylorns and inside were wedding gifts! The Austin, San Antonio, and Dallas Pipe Clubs all chipped in and got JD a tin of Escudo from 2016, can of McClelland Christmas Cheer 2016, and an Estate Charatan Pipe! And boy was he stoked. What a crazy, impressive gift from the Texas folks. You guys really rock. On an aside, Beau will be playing Sea of Thieves on XBox/Windows 10, so if you know what that is, and plan on playing, please reach out to him via whatever medium you can, Twitter or e-mail are preferred I’d imagine. To keep it brief, it’s an MMOish crew-style Pirate sailing the seven seas kind of game. Should be a ton of fun. I’m personally already down for this, as well as a few others, so hop on board, swab the poop deck, and drink some rum! Raleigh Pipe Expo Reception Party coming up soon on April 6, from 5-9pm at the Ramada Inn on Blue Ridge Rd. in Raleigh, NC. Additionally, there will be a Pipe Carvers Workshop on the 6th as well. The Pipe & Tobacco Expo is on Saturday April 7th, 9am-4:30pm in the Holshauser Building at the NC State Fairgrounds. And a last FYI, there will be no live shows for 2 weeks following Jon David’s wedding next week, but there will be podcasts, so stay tuned and don’t go anywhere. I’m not sure what this means for the show notes for those that read them. They might be typed up post-podcast. I’m not 100% sure there. Topic: Our resident Pipe Leprechauns Jon David and Beau run all the snakes out of the pipe shop and get a wee bit drunk on this St. Patrick’s Day Special! Okay, maybe they don’t drink, but they do talk green pipes! So grab a shamrock shake, dance a reel with your lass, and tune in to this fantastic jig of an episode! First up, we have Savinelli. The Arcobaleno (means “rainbow” in Italian), has a green model that is very lovely looking. Beautiful emerald-green stain, subtle-gloss finish (or rusticated for those that prefer that), black acrylic stem. Takes a 6mm filter for those that are interested. Also has a nice silver band to compliment. Savinelli also makes a style of pipe called the Alligator, which also has a green option. A very unique rustication is presented here with almost a scaly look. Google is your friend here because it’s impossible to describe accurately. Also has a lovely green stem to go with. And for those hardcore Protestant pipe smokers, the Alligator comes in a really snazzy orange too. Be on the lookout! And for those that love snazzy stems, the Clark’s Favorite has an awesome orange tigerseye swirl stem. Really hot looking! Next up we have Paronelli Pipes. Now while they aren’t as popular these days in America, they do have some eye-popping and eye-catching green stains and patterns on the Colorific and Eurocamo styles. Again, here Google is your friend. They are simply impossible to describe in written format. Genod Pipes from France have newer lines of pipes, around the $100 mark, that feature some brilliant greens. There’s no one specific line of pipes, but many of their style and shapes come in a variety of finishes of which some are green. Lastly, Peterson. The King of the Green Stain! The Racing Green is a really popular and sought after line. I’ll provide a link here, so please, if you see one you like, inquire at your local tobacconist first! (https://www.smokingpipes.com/pipes/new/peterson/index.cfm?tag=53). There’s also the Valentia line that resembles the Racing Green pipes, has a green stain and stem, but are nice and small. Kind of pricey at $150, but it’s a good pocket pipe for what it’s worth. And of course, we have the annual St. Patty’s Day pipe, the 2018 edition, which sports a real snazzy matte green finish with a gorgeous yellow army-mount stem fitted into a nickel-silver band. Also for a personal recommendation, from me, Mark VV, check out the Spigot line. Pretty expensive, but the green stain here is equally snazzy and those spigot mounts are wonderful. If you have the pocketbook for a pricier green pipe, this is not a bad choice at all. Pipe Question of the Week: Dan with Creator’s Design Pipes writes in “Hi Jon David and Beau! Sorry to ask a more serious question, but I’d like to get your thoughts on moderation in drinking. After leaving a church denomination that forbade tobacco and alcohol that I served for 20 years, I’ve joyfully entered into the experience of craft beer and ‘brown water’. As a Christian, I am aware of the scriptures commands to avoid drunkenness, so I’m generally a one-and-done drinker. As men of faith, how do you navigate this issue and enjoy spirits yet in biblical moderation? This is not a trolling question, but an honest and sincere inquiry from a brother who is middle-aged and learning to enjoy alcohol responsibly. Thank you for your thoughts and for the wonderful podcast community you’ve created. In Christ, Dan.” Man, what a question, and what an answer. Please check the whole thing out at timestamp 39:00 on the live show YouTube broadcast which I’ll link below. I won’t have the podcast timestamp since the show ain’t out as of this show note transcription, but I imagine it will be between the 35 and 40 minute mark. The key here is moderation and maintaining control without becoming a slave to the particular vice, and Jon David’s elaboration and explanation is right on the money here. I won’t be able to do it justice in writing, so please, listen to this one. Absolutely incredible. Quick Fire with the Squire: Continuing on with Benjamin McMullen’s list. #1 Ancient Africa (Beau) or Ancient Mesopotamia (JD) #2 History of Medicine or History of Weaponry (JD & Beau) #3 History of Pipes (JD & Beau) or History of Cigars (if you voted for this you are a pilgrim and deserve to be blasphemed...just sayin’) Listener Feedback: A. Wanamaker on iTunes says “Great Information, Cool Hosts: This has quickly become my favorite podcast. It has taught me a lot about pipes, tobacco and culture. The hosts are affable and incredibly knowledgeable. I particularly like that the show is family friendly, I can listen to it with kids around and not have to worry about any uncouth language. Thank you Beau and JD for putting out such a fine quality show, I will be listening whenever I can.” Doug Owen writes in and says “This is a follow-up on Jon David’s story about the customer not buying anything. JD, can I borrow Butch Arthur for the summer? Man, I cannot tell you how many times I have had the same conversation with prospective customer. The vast majority of my clientele are great guys and gals but once in awhile you get the one that just does not make the casual connection between purchasing an item in your store and your ability to stay in business and pay bills. I don’t really think they make that connection in their heads. They may be thinking about guys like you and me as fellow pipe smokers with a lot of expertise and it never crosses their mind that it is important for us to make a living at this as well as have a good time doing it. Anyway, that’s my take on it. I just take it in stride, grit my teeth, and keep on puffin’.” Jim Nelson writes in with the results! “The Country Squire (the horse) takes 4th place in the 7th race of the day at Gulfstream Park. The superfecta pays nearly $300.” C’mon buddy! Outrun that glue factory! Ending & Wrap-up: Please check out the show sponsor websites to learn more about them, and please consider joining the Country Squire Radio Pipe Club. I’ve provided a link to Patreon below as well as show credits, twitter handles, websites, emails, and times. If you have not done so, please consider writing an iTunes review.

Giacomo Carlesi, Savinelli Interview

Cigar of the Week - Savinelli Liga Especial Torpedo - brought to you by FullersPullers.com May Palio Cutter Contest Winner (Black Classic Palio): Gregg Rabb. [Nicaragua: available in 4 sizes] This line debuted in 2005 and is also made at Tabacos Puros de Nicaragua. It’s double banded with the words “Liga Especial” (in Spanish, “special blend”) below the same band as on the Savinelli Fuerte. The Liga has a dark, oily wrapper and showcases both caramelized sweetness and a spicy finish right from the start. This parallel taste experience offers a complexity that’s easy to appreciate and is accented by the richness of the caramel-like flavors in mid-course. The flavors are more muted in the second half and the spicy aspects come out more strongly toward the close. It’s once again a bargain at retail prices of $4.50-$5.75 each (before local tobacco taxes). Growing from a small pipe shop opened in 1876 in Milan, Italy, Savinelli became so respected that the Savinelli pipe factory was opened in 1948 and remains in operation today. However it was not until the 1990's (taking advantage of the cigar boom) that Ruben and Robert Ysidro, heading up Savinelli here since the 19070's, began to branch out to the cigar industry.

La Aurora - 1495, 107 and a couple of new ones, the 107 Corona and an unnamed new cigar for IPCPR. Davidoff Maduro Robusto - Blended by Henke Kelner. He used specially selected Dominican filler and San Vicente binder specifically to complement the unique flavor of its wrapper - a dark, Cuban seed, Nicaraguan leaf sun-grown in the Jalapa Valley to create a 'natural maduro. This is a cigar that demonstrates what can be accomplished when the right tobacco is treated in the proper manner. It does not have that dark or black look that we usually expect from a maduro but when you light it up, the flavor comes rushing at you in a glorious bath of dark bitter chocolate and coffee carried on a bed of savory roasted bread. What's My Band? - 917 From Liz: Occidental Reserve Every week Bob and Dale include an “unbanded cigar” segment in their show in which they smoke a cigar without any markings and give their honest opinions. Bob then opens a sealed envelope and discovers the cigar’s name and manufacturer. If you have suggestions for the "What's My Band?" segment, please send them to liz@cigarmedia.tv. Music provided by 25 Smokin' Figurados and The Surfonics

Recently I sat down with Steven Ysidron, National Sales Manager of Savinelli cigars, to discuss his background and role in the company. He also introduces Savinelli's current cigars, and upcoming new blends.

What would a pipe tobacco podcast be without a good deal of pipe tobacco reviews? Loose leaf, tin, and even the hard to find stuff will all find their way into our pipes and into our heads as we review the entirety of each pipe tobacco from the packaging, marketing, tin note, texture, flavor, and smoke. This week: Tobacco Talk: Savinelli 140th Anniversary and Taste of Temptation500th Episode EventJoin us live on March 4th at the Country Squire to celebrate our 500th episode with music, food, and fun.REGISTER HERE: https://www.thecountrysquireonline.com/product/episode500/Pipe Question:  Good morning brothers, I just finished listening to the episode “caught you blending” from 12 sep. 2018. I'm really excited to try out blending with some better knowledge now. A month ago, I took about 3 pounds of various high quality tobaccos that didn't make the rotation, mixed them all up, and pressed them in the “poor man's press” y'all talked about in a previous episode. It's ready to come out now so I'll send some along soon. Let me know what you think. That reminds me, someone asked you about making a highland grog coffee flavored tobacco on an episode recently, and you confessed to not knowing what that was. So, I'm sending you a bag of both kinds of highland grog that I know of. Let me know what you think eh? At the end of the episode in blending, I had one question for you, what are the general ratios for the different “standard” blends? English, aromatic, VaPer, Virginia etc - Thanks for all you do, please keep it up! - Gabriel Roper Quickfire Questions:  Back to your childhood (Joda):Action figures or Legos riding your bike or playing outside gamesbreakfast cereal or Eggo waffles Saturday morning cartoons or sleeping inPower Rangers or Teenage Mutant Ninja TurtlesListener Feedback: Hi JD and Beau, - I just finished listening to the vintage tin art episode and was surprised to find out that I have actually tried a tobacco that neither of you have. I am speaking about the 5 Brothers, I was a bit surprised that given how long it's been around you haven't had it, so I thought that this time the listener could advised the hosts. In my experience 5 Brothers is best in a small corn cob pipe like the short stop or Morgan from Missouri Meerschaum. The reason behind this is 5 Brothers is a very strong nicotine forward blend and is best enjoyed in small amounts. This last piece of advice regarding 5 Brothers is crucial, do not smoke it in your home. I have a very understanding wife in regards to my pipe smoking and doesn't mind when I partake in the leaf, except this one, it's the only blend I have that I am 100% forbidden to smoke in the house due to how close it smells to cigarettes. Anyway keep up the good work with the show and I'm looking forward to hearing the next episode. - Dave aka DRAlienAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

A pipe is the perfect complement to a good meal and a good drink is the kind companion to a good pipe. But these days there are so many options to pull from when walking down your local package store. Here we pair beverages with pipe tobacco to find an ideal combination to enhance the enjoyment of both. This week: Jack Daniels & The ManhattanPipe Question: I bought my latest batch of Chestnut in the 14oz tub. I know that old drugstore blends often come in such tubs. Will that keep my tobacco fresh, or do I need to get a big ol' Mason Jar to transfer it into? - Fr IsaacQuickfire Questions: What do you hate the most: Hunger, Cold, Loneliness, Boredom, Being ignored If you had to live with a ‘curse' which would you prefer? Werewolf, Zombie post death, Vampire, Mummie (which is basically just a more fashionable zombie thb) Confession Time: Did you ever cheat in College, Highschool or otherwise and if so how? Listener Feedback: (CM Gilbert) I've recently, in the last two months, returned to my pipe and even rescued a Comoy's and a Savinelli estate pipe from eBay. I have really enjoyed the banter between the two of you. It brings the genuine and insightful to a generally superfluous and hectic world. I have really enjoyed all of the shows but the ones so far that have brought a proper pause were the “From the Library” episodes on the books “The Miracle of Mindfulness” and “Grief Observed”. Just so you know, Douglas Gresham was Jack's adopted son who lived with him after his mother's death. You can find some of his talks on YouTube. He had a unique perspective being a young man with one of the greatest minds of the 20th century.
