Episode 51: Corn Cobs and Cavendish

In this episode of Beyond the Burl, we dive into the fascinating world of Cavendish, exploring both the process behind it and its role as a blending component that shapes some of our favorite tobaccos. Along the way we throw in another fun trivia question to test your pipe knowledge before settling in for one of our signature ChatGPT campfire tales, this time taking us on a winding adventure through the woods where the line between the cozy and the mysterious begins to blur. As the calendar turns, we also say farewell to Meerschaum March by shining a spotlight on the humble but legendary Missouri corn cob pipe and sharing some fun cob-related history and quirks. Finally, we wrap things up in our favourite way, by packing, lighting, and enjoying a bowl of Kendal Dark Plug (Unscented), closing the episode with a rich, hearty smoke and some final reflections from the trail.
