In this episode, we went fully live on Discord, opening the floor to audience participation from start to finish and letting the conversation unfold in real time. We reflected on the top two tobaccos we tried in 2025, with no restrictions on release date or hype, just the two blends that were genuinely new to us and left the biggest impression. Things took a turn for the cockamamy with a Madlib-style misadventure, before rolling straight into an open Q&A where listeners steered the ship, asking everything from our dream pipe, to our long-term hopes and direction for the podcast. We wrap up the episode by smoking and reviewing Silver Jubilee by G.L. Pease, breaking down our thoughts as the bowl progressed and concluding the episode with equal parts reflection, laughter, and shared smoke.
