Name drift · highA fourth line trading on the Juul's name. Cactus Affinity list it as "pach Verne's J's Giant - Buutcher's Big Boy", misspelling included. "Butcher" is a direct reference to Tom Juul's trade, since Juul was a butcher, so the name asserts a Juul's connection twice over. Worth noting that Kate Jackson's collection, which Verne Robinson preserved, did contain Juul's Giant, still pot sized in the 1980s. That makes a real Juul's link plausible but it is not documented.
