Tonight on The Pipes Magazine Radio Show, we welcome Christine Glasheen of Mullinahone House. Christine’s journey into premium tobacco began about six years ago when she bought herself a cigar for her birthday and discovered she truly enjoyed the experience. Her interest was also shaped by childhood memories of fishing trips with her father, who often smoked cigars. During the pandemic, friends she met online introduced her to pipe smoking. Her father, who had smoked a pipe in college, suggested she begin with Mac Baren’s Scottish Blend and later passed along his pipe collection. Christine also treasures a special pipe that belonged to her grandfather, who emigrated from Ireland—a story you’ll hear her share on tonight’s show. Brian and Christine will discuss Mullinahone House, her company inspired by Irish heritage and dedicated to celebrating the traditions, stories, and culture that surround the pipe-smoking hobby. At the top of the show we will have an Ask the Tobacco Blender segment with Jeremy Reeves. Jeremy is the Head Blender at Cornell & Diehl.
