    Jim's Watch City American Cut Plug Mixture Review.

    It would make stocking up more tempting if more bulk blends were offered in those Mylar (cellar-ready) bags. I would rather pay extra and get blends in either 4, 8, or even 16oz increments.

    Jim's Sutliff Maple Shadows Review.

    Smoking Pipes website: Sutliff's Maple Shadows is a limited-release, seasonal blend inspired by the eerier aspects of the Fall season. FWIW, there's a 5 tin limit, as well.

    Interest In a DIY Pipe Magizine?

    Yes, everyone should subscribe to this. I also miss getting the hard copies of The Pipe Smoker's Ephemeris and more recently Pipes & Tobacco Magazine.

    Pipe Spotting—Tucker Carlson on his new Twitter (X) Show

    Good eye. I noticed it before, too. It's one of those giant Ropp cherrywoods.

    Tony Bennett Dies aged 96 😔

    96 is a good run. Unrelated other than they're very old - Mel Brooks is still going at 97 and Kissinger recently turned 100.

    Sun Bear 2023 - Is This Happening?

    In Europe anyone can get it from the Danish Pipe Shop, but they won't ship to the US anymore. The last US special release was this April. No idea if/when we'll see it here again...

    THE Chicago Pipe Show — Battle of the Briar, Pt 1

    I might be in the minority, but I’d like to see them double the points for first and second submissions. Bring like an F1 pit crew element into the contest.

    Preview: New Barling Pipes without Filter

    You're right. Smoking Pipes doesn't show a top down photo and from the profile it looked like a big fake diamond. Looked at some on eBay that show top down perspective and yeah, it's a lion. Slightly less terrible than a fake diamond LOL

    Would be cool if they ditched the diamond and brought back the crossed logo on the stem.

    Sutliffs Cringle Flake 2022

    I went through a tin of 2022 very recently and I was really impressed. Just got 15 more. BnB Tobacco was one etailer who still had it in stock last week...not sure if they still do though...
