About this episode

The episode features an interview with pipe maker Alexander Kroiss and a coffee pairing segment with Bo Parker.

Tonight on The Pipes Magazine Radio Show, we welcome Austrian pipe maker Alexander Kroiss of Kroiss Pipes. Alexander has been crafting handmade briar pipes since 2021, producing carefully made, one-of-a-kind pieces that emphasize clean design, quality materials, and an excellent smoking experience. Drawing from both classic and modern influences, Alex favors high-grade Mediterranean briar and German ebonite, often accented with materials like horn, bamboo, and exotic woods. His work reflects a balanced approach that combines traditional craftsmanship with a contemporary aesthetic. At the top of the show in Pipe Parts, we will have a coffee pairing segment with Bo Parker of Methodical Coffee.
