Episode 59: A chat with Michael Parks

Episode Description from the Publisher

This week, we throw the usual format out the window and sit down with Canadian pipe maker Michael Parks for a wide-ranging conversation about his journey into pipe making, the lessons he's learned along the way, and the craft that continues to inspire him. Along the way, Michael even pitches a delightfully wild ChatGPT story idea, leading us down some unexpected paths. After Michael heads out, Seb and Josh close the show by lighting up a bowl of Peanut Butter & Chocolate, a beloved brick-and-mortar house blend from Wilke's, and share their thoughts on this unique dessert-inspired smoke. A relaxed, entertaining episode filled with good stories, good company, and good tobacco.
