Speaking of cowboys, we dig into the history behind the classic image of the cowboy with a pipe; was it actually a thing, or just another piece of Western mythology?And finally, we light up a blend so funky that somewhere along the way, the words “maybe we should smoke something else” enter the conversation.Grab your pipe, saddle up, and join us for another episode of Beyond the Burl!
