Welcome to Country Squire Radio. And I'm John David. J. J.D. Hey, Bo. Good evening, man. Good evening to you, sir. How are you doing tonight? I'm doing great. I'm doing this has been a heck of a week, man. Hasn't it? Golly, man. I mean, you know, gosh, you know, as this show is airing, tomorrow will be the day that we have our grand opening for the new shop. Gosh. So just a lot of fun, you know, but gosh, things are just out of control. Yeah, it's great, man. Football's in full swing, you know, people in the, in the SEC country down here have been excited about that. Folks are coming in buying pipe tobacco, buying new pipes, getting ready for the fall. And yeah, it's just a fun season, man. It's just, it's crazy and it's really fun. Ah, yes. I'm reminded of, I think, like, our fourth or third ever episode of Country Squire Radio, which was like just called Autumn Upon Us, which was, uh, it was just us sitting around talking about how cool autumn is to be a pipe smoker. Yeah, no, that's right. And I remember some people were like, I wonder if these guys are going to make it. And those same people are still wondering. I wonder if these guys are going to make it. Hopefully. You got to give at least the four-year deal. Right, right. It was kind of like, is this a show? And yes, as it turns out it was. Eventually became one, yeah. Exactly. Well, so the grand reopening has come and gone and is here. But coming up, man, we got Jackson Pipe Night. That's right around the corner. That's right. November 1st, it's a Thursday. It'll be here at the Country Squire and also sponsored by Laud D.C., which, of course, are good friends that sell Savanellies, Peterson's, Cornell and Deal, Tobacco, and so many other wonderful brands.

And then, of course, we mentioned last week, but the announcement, the gauntlet has been

thrown. Yes. There is the custom cob competition of Country Squire Radio is returning, and this year,

the holiday theme is Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving, man. Yeah, so we want to encourage those of you

out there, even if you're not necessarily American, Thanksgiving very much an American holiday, but we've got listeners internationally. So you are more than welcome

to, to create custom, you know, actually, maybe you're British and you're bitter. You could

create your own unique cob pipe. It's sent it to the other way that, you know, really

save that, save that, because at some point we may do a Fourth of of July one may that fourth of July oh that could be really good yeah save the bitterness and then I have folks from Great Britain pitch in on that exactly it could be fun that could be fun but no this one's Thanksgiving don't want to confuse anybody so so yeah let your imagination run wild we cannot wait to see some amazing designs from those of you wanting to compete. We'll have more information about that posted in the relatively near future. I'd love to say very near future, but I'm also trying to be honest, so relatively near future. But in the meantime, go ahead and get those out. Remember, the main thing is, it's got to be smokable. You can get creative as you want to, but it has got to still be smokable at the end of the day. Yes. Custom corn cop pipe must be a Missouri Miriam, which you know

you're going to want anyway, but has to be smokable. Get your creative juices flow in. I think you'll have a lot of fun with this. Yeah, and I kind of mentioned last week that, you know, the rules are going to be the same as last year,

but just as a refresher for those

who may not be familiar,

what you'll end up being doing is with these pipes,

you'll actually, the rules are going to be the same as last year, but just as a refresher for those who may not be familiar,

what you'll end up be doing is with these pipes, you'll actually be sending them to the country

squire, where we will review them on the show. We'll have a special episode dedicated to it,

and then we will actually be auctioning those pipes off for charity after the competition

has come and gone.

That's right. There is a trophy, a custom cob trophy that comes along with it.

That may or may not make it through the mail.
