This week on Beyond the Burl, Seb and Josh put their wits to the test in a game of “Tobacco 20 Questions,” where blends, brands, and bold guesses collide. Then, a Victorian-inspired ChatGPT story drifts through the fog—mystery, manners, and maybe a bit of pipe smoke along the way. The conversation turns luxurious as the guys debate the allure (and absurdity) of $1000 pipes—art, craftsmanship, or pure indulgence? Finally, Johnny from Palmyra Products drops by to chat about their upcoming pilgrimage to the Las Vegas International Pipe Show, where briar, friendship, and a fair bit of chaos await.
