    RIP Abdul "Duke" Fakir (The Four Tops)

    I got a chance to see them live in Las Vegas back in the 80s. I'm so happy I did. Still to this day, I keep a Spotify playlist of Four Tops songs and a few other Motown classics. RIP Duke 🙏

    🇨🇦 Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦

    Sorry I'm late to the party, but I've been flying the colors all day down here in California. Happy Canada day!

    Your Own "Best" Tobacco

    I'll cast my vote for Solani 633 The blends I seem to reach for most often are Virginias/VaPers with a topping just light enough to keep them out of the aromatic category. Dan Tobacco Salty Dogs and GLP Windjammer are two other examples.

    Thanks for starting this thread, Mike. I laughed, I cried, it's been a helluva ride!

    I Finally Get Burleys!

    I also enjoy Pegasus, as well as the rest of the late Bob Runowski's creations. There are a few burley blends that I consider a little bit "gourmet". Solani ABF, Erik Stokkebye 1931, and MacBaren HH Burley Flake to name a few. I'm happy you found your way, friend!

    Is Anyone Watching the Men's College World Series?

    I was. But then my Gators lost. And now I'm just sitting here disgruntled. As usual.

    As a Miami native, I've been a fan of the Panthers since the franchise began. And so, I want this win for Florida. However, I'm in awe at how the Oilers have turned this around. Their tenacity and never-say-die attitude is truly something to behold. If Edmonton goes home with the cup, it won't...

    Jim's 50th Pipe Smoking Anniversary.

    Sometimes I think about how cool it might have been if I had the chance to enjoy pipe smoking back when some of the fabled blends were still being produced, or when there was a tobacconist is every city or town. But I was not around back then. I am, however, around now. And I feel fortunate...

    I can't watch this anymore. I'm getting an ulcer. Oh Florida, this is why we can't have nice things.

    Brethren, I Humbly Ask a Favor

    My friend, you would think, as a widower, I would know the perfect words to ease you pain and soothe you heart. Sadly I realize there is nothing I can say or write that would suffice. Please know, I am wishing you all the peace and comfort possible as you move through this event in your life...

    Haka/Maori/NZ

    Yeah, it is a lot. They were playing the Florida Gators. It was back in 2008 when the Gators were ridiculously good. The Tebow years. I think it was the first game of the season.

    I've seen the football team from the university of Hawaii do it before a game, too. The warriors. I also think it's cool. It doesn't seem to influence the final score, tho. The game I went to, Hawaii lost by 50. But still, I like seeing it.

    The Official 2024 NHL Playoff Thread

    Ok, that's enough of this crazy talk. Also. How about a little love for Sasha Barkov. Maurice has put him on McMagic since game one. He's done that job well, I think. Not that Connor has gone without a few decent looks. But still. Barkov is out there grinding. I still think McDavid is the...
