    Jim's Watch City Simply Red Review.

    Simply Red is a good name, but this is not a simple blend. There are several different shades of red (from light to medium to black) with a little orange in this ribbon cut Virginia product. Some of the reds are obviously processed differently. I believe there’s a little stoved red in the mix...

    A Personal Look At Spider-Man Co-Creator Steve Ditko.

    I thought some comics fans here who know Ditko's work might find this interesting: https://popculturesquad.com/2019/03/16/steve-ditko-inside-his-studio-sanatorium/?fbclid=IwAR2I4XBRbTH0UJwmRB6DvZs2Ow7dHdvaksoYv3htdAFjUwNus0ztsCPsZ1w

    Jim's Savinelli 140 Review.

    As this blend is available again (at Smoking Pipes), and I've been asked questions about it, I thought I'd post my review for those interested: The red Virginias are mildly tangy, dark fruit sweet with earth and a touch of spice. The bright Virginias have some citrus along with a little grass...

    1970s Ellery Queen TV Series in Public Domain.

    I can't imagine how that show was allowed to go into the public domain. You'd think it'd be kept in copyright. Anyway, you can go here and watch the Jim Hutton series for free: https://archive.org/details/ElleryQueenSeries

    *** What Are You Smoking?*** (February 2019)

    Starting this thread a few minutes early with a bowl of Dunhill Elizabethan Match in my trusty 1970s smooth three quarter bend Peterson System Standard 305 with a black vulcanite p-lip stem. Going back to work now.

    Jim's Revised Peretti's Park Square Review.

    This is a review of the original version of Park Square that was comprised of McClelland tobaccos. The red, stoved and matured Virginias are tangy, dark fruit sweet with a mild fermented sugar fruit from the stoved, along with a bit of earth. The red Virginia is slightly more noticeable than the...

    *** What Are You Smoking?*** (January 2019)

    Happy New Year folks! I'm starting the year off with a bowl of year 20016 Stonehaven from a freshly opened bag and smoking it in a straight sandblasted pre-transition Barling Exel 249 Fossil T.V.F. black billiard with a silver band and military bit with a black ebonite tapered stem.

    *** What Are You Smoking?*** (December 2018)

    I'll be smoking this when the clock strikes midnight EST, but I got a head start now: year 2015 MacBaren Virginia No. 1 in a black sand blasted straight 1998 XXX Ashton lovat with a black acrylic saddle stem. Watching Nero Wolfe.

    Who Made "The Chief's Own" Blends?

    I have three samples of The Chief's Own blends, and the sample packs claim they were made in Denmark, but I haven't been able to find out who actually made these blends. Can anybody help?

    Who Makes Summer Delight?

    I was given a sample of Summer Delight at the WCPS, but was given no info about it. I'd like to add it to TR.com if I can find the info. Can somebody help me out on this?

    Jim's McConnell's Dunhill Clones Reviews.

    Here's my reviews of seven of Robert McConnell's Dunhill clones. Robert McConnell Durbar Square: The dry, mildly floral, woody, spicy, and fairly sour Orientals takes a lead here. The dark Virginia offers dark fruit and earth as a important secondary player. The smoky, woody, musty sweet...

    *** What Are You Smoking?*** (November 2018)

    Enjoyed a tasty Jazz apple and some raisins, and my last smoke of the day is Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a very much appreciated 1979 brown, slight bend grain etched flat front Stanwell Rego 969-48 (09) with a black vulcanite stem.

    Big Surprise Package.

    A big package of goodies arrived today from a good friend, most of it unexpected.

Pipes: A 1980s White Pipe straight, smooth octagonal paneled...

    Jim's Seattle Pipe Club Hood Canal Review.

    This new blend will be released in November. Here's my review. The smoky, woody, earthy, lightly musty, moderately sweet Cyprian latakia is the main component. The latakia comprises 41% of the blend, and due to creator Joe Lankford’s expertise, this isn’t a lat-bomb as all the varietals have...

    Just past the half way mark of this bowl of year 2012 Rolando’s Own in a smooth straight early ‘60s Lane era “William Conrad” Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort stem.

    These three new offerings will be on sale in November in 1.5 ounce MacBaren-like style tins. Sutliff Crumble Kake English #1: The woody, earthy, musty, lightly leather-like and moderately sweet Cyprian latakia is the lead component, though it doesn’t dominate the other varietals. In a strong...
