583: Pipe Maker Tanner Halligan. Pipes Smoking 101 - Flake Tobacco

Our featured interview tonight is with Tanner Halligan. Tanner is from Columbus Ohio, and makes the Butterbone Briars line of pipes. He first tried pipe smoking in high school with some friends, and enjoyed it on and off. About a year ago he began making pipes part-time, but was struggling until he decided to buy some pipe making kits by RawKrafted. The kits are made at Smoker's Haven in Columbus. Tanner went into the shop and was immediately hired by shop owner and pipe maker Premal Chheda. With Premal's mentoring, Tanner's pipe making skills took a big leap forward. At the top of the show, we'll have a Pipe Smoking 101 segment on flake tobaccos.
