Listen "Episode 31: Beyond the Burl LIVE 2! Curating a myth"
Episode Synopsis
In this week’s episode, we took the show live on Discord and invited the community into the conversation. Listeners jumped in to share their experiences on how to keep moving forward in the pipe-journey—everything from refining one’s palate with intention, to building a meaningful cellar rather than a chaotic stash, to shaping a pipe collection that actually reflects who you are as a smoker. From there, we shifted into the next chapter of our new ongoing 1940s noir saga featuring detectives Seb and Josh, a smoky, shadow-drenched tale that kept the room hooked. After returning from the dark alleyways of fiction, we opened a broader discussion about the phenomenon of pipe blends that turn into myth and legend after they vanish from production, exploring why scarcity, nostalgia, and community storytelling elevate certain tobaccos into near-mythic status. To close out the night, we settled into a thoughtful review of Eight State Burley, breaking down its character, strengths, and place in the modern burley landscape.
