NOTES
Via Facebook Messenger --
Me: What's the pronunciation on Pinellas? We talking Lou Piniella in plural? 
Asking so I can give you a shout out on air or recording.

Blaine Snodgrass (Brand Owner): Yes, Lou in plural. It's the county that Clearwater Beach, FL is located. Pinellas County. It's where I found my love for cigars 20 plus yrs ago.

"Sweet Lou" holds true here; in a nice and rather long finish. Facetiously, it doth as well, in that there is a gruffness which lets ya know yer smoking.
