What's Your Favorite Lynyrd Skynyrd Song?
Random story, I may have relayed this somewhere before - anyhow, I did a pickup gig with some Nashville guys a billion years ago when I lived there ...we drove out into the actual middle of nowhere to a pretty nice bar and played a fun, yet uneventful gig until the end of the night when someone...- kg.legat0

Spinal Tap 2: The End Continues
Somewhat tangentially related: Happy Gilmore 2 didn’t suck, somehow, I have no idea how that movie wasn’t a complete piece of shit. That said, given the deadpan, subtle nature of British humor in general, let alone with the original film, I’m afraid of the “sequel treatment” with Spinal...- kg.legat0

Excellent Article on William Serad: A Pipe Tobacco Wizard
This was a fun read for a slow afternoon at the office -- I would love to have been able to experience the early days of C&D and have custom blends expertly blended for me.- kg.legat0

Terabytes of free music!
You don't have to kid -- a lot of that stuff sucks ...I've been subjected to a lot of it over the years lol I have recently started enjoying more Bluegrass, and I have to agree that there is something awfully special about the energy of it live. There is so much that goes into mixing and...- kg.legat0

What's Your Favorite C&D Small Batch Release??
Anthology 2023 is one of the best Virginia blends I have ever smoked -- recently cracked back into some 2020 XXL Dark Flake, that stuff is amazing, too. ...overall tho, I am a true sucker for any of the Sun Bear releases.- kg.legat0

Terabytes of free music!
I am on some of the recordings in that archive - old live jazz/funk shows from Nashville, 20 years ago, almost. As much as I love music, have earned a living playing it at times, have become an accomplished instrumentalist (blah blah who cares): I just don't really like live recordings, even if...- kg.legat0

$65 Muxaing Bent Egg Cumberland
I have the same pipe as shown in the first picture ...bought it on a whim one evening. This is a great pipe, smoked like a seasoned bowl right out of the box. Cheap enough that I will take it anywhere, but still looks great and feels solid. When I go buy a Fender guitar at a guitar store, I... -
What Makes A Great Virginian Blend?
Just my two cents on this as I tend to focus on Virginia blends -- while there are many different varieties and ways they can go, what I am always looking for is the development of flavor as I make my way down the bowl. Some blends do this well for me while some are more consistent from start to...- kg.legat0

C&D Autumn Evening
Autumn Evening was a challenging blend for me ...it actually took years for me to enjoy it. Nowadays, it's an absolute favorite. It's one of the aro's I smoke that really, in my perceptions at least, benefits from aging. I would always, always get the most fierce nasal burn from this...- kg.legat0

Boswell Blends
Boswell blends are definitely tasty - I have particularly enjoyed Private Stock, Paradise, and Christmas Cookie. If you have a chance to go, it's a really cool experience. They usually have some of their pipes on display, for sale, and they typically have hard to find tins in addition to their...- kg.legat0

Pipe Smoking and Makin' Babies
I got a head start on preparing for parenthood by smoking weed and tripping balls for about a decade straight before knocking up the Mrs. -- my 3 boys are currently getting straight A's and are healthy as horses, **your mileage may absolutely vary** lol My oldest recently surpassed me in...- kg.legat0
