About Us

The Briar Report (www.briarreport.com) was founded in 2016 to be the premier source of pipe & cigar smoking news and information. In the time since we have lived up to that description. In 2018, because of space, too many cigar stories were being passed over so we decided to spin-off the Stogie Report (www.stogiereport.com). Stogie Report is aimed exclusively at the premium cigar smoker. Also in 2018 we began publication of our online magazine. The magazine is a place where we , as well as our readers, can publish articles and reviews that are of interest to pipe smokers. We also highlight what's happening in the YouTube Pipe Community (YTPC). Our Events calendar is a fantastic resource to keep you informed with everything in the pipe smoking community. Our content features the latest news and most up-to-date information you're going to find anywhere else. Our staff consists of pipe and cigar smokers with well over a century of experience, combined. Phil and Bill edit the Briar Report and the Stogie Report, respectively. We also have a media specialist who owns one of the most successful audio gear and podcasting consulting services. We have a webmaster and finally the lowly intern, Felix. The magazine is a collaborative effort of the entire staff.
