3rd Annual Free Pipe For U.S. Veteran
An effort at an original. Here goes... There once was a Coastie from Kentucky. With tattoo's all over his body. One he darn't show, lest ye think him a brute. Involved a lady, impropriety, and a flute. Think him crass, it was on his ass and played a tune when he ate broccoli. ?♂️ -

Foreign Objects In Tin Tobacco
I found an entire intact wolf spider (dead of coarse) in a can of Grizzly chewing tobacco once. Scared the life out of me. It was right on top, first thing I saw when I opened the can.- brandaves

MLB What Do You Think?
I see the point. However, I think teams are paying for humeruns from a very few hitters but are buying hits from the vast majority (or more accurately, getting on base via a BB, HBP or hit). A hit against the shift doesn't necessarily mean a bunt, that's just an example. Hitting adjustments...- brandaves

MLB What Do You Think?
Fair point, but I don't think adapting to hitting applies the same to pitchers as it does for fielders. A good pitcher is selected almost entirely based upon their ability to pitch. They are drafted for their dominance on one side of the inning and their sufficiency on other side of the inning...- brandaves

MLB What Do You Think?
I don't think baseball should leave the shift alone only because it's been around awhile. I think they should leave it alone because it was an innovative solution to a fielding problem. Ted Williams was a natural hitter, even when he wasn't hitting home runs. They figured he was swinging for the...- brandaves

MLB What Do You Think?
I love baseball. The sport will always have meaning for me. I'm one of those crazy idiots who sits at home and keeps score (on a scorecard I made because I can't find a commercially produced one I like). Very few people actually watch baseball. I mean really watch baseball. There are things that...- brandaves

Try More Blends or Cellar What I Know?
I say do both. When I first jumped in I ordered a lot of everything. Most of it tinned. That was a good thing and a bad thing. I now have anywhere from 7 ounces to a pound of some blends that I don't consider necessary for my cellar, but what I do have is trade stock, PIF candidates and things...- brandaves

Eight State Burley 2022
I bought one tin of last year's release and just opened it about a week ago. I'm probably 9 or 10 bowls into the tin at this point so for me it's time to make a decision on whether I'll order this year. For me, it's a no. Although I like the blend it isn't one I imagine I'll crave. Sure, the...- brandaves

Beginner Seeking Guidance on Tobaccos
I think the point is that you may not want to seek out higher Latakia in your English blends, but rather try some more Latakia blends. Sure, that might mean giving Pirate Kake try. But next maybe try something more mild on the Latakia. You will find no shortage of suggestions on tobaccos to buy...- brandaves

***What are You Smoking, March 2022?***
Just cracked a tin of last year's Eight State Burley which I smoked in the Savinelli Series III 320. I wanted to give it a taste to see if it would be worth buying some of this year's release. It has all the woody, earthy and chocolate notes you expect from Burley for sure. The Oriental adds...- brandaves

I love that bowl for two reasons: 1) I'm a mason and it is fantastic 2) It's size. You never see larger falcon bowls Where did you find it if you don't mind me asking?- brandaves
