In this episode of Beyond the Burl, we kick things off by unpacking the often-misunderstood world of Scottish blends-what the term actually means in pipe tobacco, and where the definition comes from. From there we drop in another fun pipe trivia factoid before taking our usual detour into the whimsical with a new chat story, where the conversation takes an unexpected trip down the rabbit hole. In our deep dive segment, we explore the fascinating history and characteristics of meerschaum pipes, while also reflecting on the March Challenge, comparing our expectations going in with the realities we experienced along the way. We wrap things up the best way we know how-by lighting up and giving our impressions of Old Joe Krantz Blue Label from Cornell & Diehl, sharing tasting notes and final thoughts as the smoke winds down.
