In our 25th episode, Seb and Josh light up with a wide-ranging conversation that covers both the serious and the slightly ridiculous. The discussion kicks off with nicotine: how its strength impacts enjoyment, whether it enhances or detracts from the ritual, and the big question—would pipe smokers still light up if nicotine weren’t part of the equation?

From there, things take a sharp left turn into the bizarre with a short tale about Killer Klowns from Outer Space—because sometimes a good pipe pairs best with a strange story.

The main event comes in the form of a brand-new experiment: a tier list of 36 different tobaccos. Together, Seb and Josh weigh in, compare notes, and lock each blend into place, sparking debates that are sure to stir the pipe community.

Finally, the pair smoke, review, and unpack the nuances of Prince’s Blend from Drucquer & Sons, giving it the full Beyond the Burl treatment.
