Episode Details

In this latest episode of Beyond the Burl, we tackle a little bit of everything that makes our conversations what they are. We start by answering some of Josh’s latest machinations, unpacking ideas, and putting our brains to the test. From there, we slip back in time to 19th-century Saint-Claude for our chat-story, wandering the cobbled streets where briar first found its destiny. We then clear the air on a few persistent tobacco misnomers—separating tradition from assumption and language from fact—before settling into the ritual itself. To close the episode, we light up and thoughtfully review Gawith & Hoggarth’s Black Twist Bogie, offering honest impressions on its strength, character, and old-world depth as the smoke carries us out.
