Happy birthday, Jack Kirby!
On August 28, 1917, Jacob Kurtzberg was born in the shadows of poverty in New York City where the slum tenements were so close that days would often pass before he felt the light of the sun on his face. As Jack Kirby, he rose to fame as the greatest comic book artist and the major creator of the...- JimInks

Jim's Sutliff Private Stock Reviews
The folks at Sutliff have asked a number of people to review their Private Stock series, and I am one of them. They understand that if I don't like a blend, I can be honest and pan it if I so choose. Once a month, they mail out six tins for review. So far, I've reviewed ten of the twelve tins...- JimInks

Smoking Pipes Now Carries Carter Hall
Well, it seems as though Smoking Pipes listened to me when I told them they need to carry Carter Hall because P&C hasn't had any tubs for sale since they moved. They charge more than P&C and 4Noggins, but at least it's available at SP. It never hurts to have as many outlets as possible. Now I...- JimInks

Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend at 4Noggins!
Well, Rich at 4Noggins must have been reading the threads about EGR, because he's now carrying the blend in tubs. Don't forget he gives a 10% discount to forum members when you ask for it, and $100 worth of purchases gets you free shipping.- JimInks

Smoking Pipes, Carter Hall, EGR, SWR, etc.
Earlier today, I called Smoking Pipes to place an order for Three Nuns and Capstan Blue, plus a few other tins I wanted to try. The lady who took my order is also a purchasing agent for the company. I took the opportunity to ask her about carrying Carter Hall, Walnut, Sir Walter Raleigh, and...- JimInks

Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in 1.5 oz Tins!
Great news! The Sutliff rep called me and said, due to the response about EGR from this thread and a couple of others I posted on other pipe sites, they are going to make a 1.5 oz. tin version of EGR! By seeing people's reactions here, I convinced them to do more with the blend. I'm very excited...- JimInks

Three Nuns VaPer Return?
Great news! I spoke with the Sutliff rep today about Edward G. Robinson pipe tobacco and doing something with it to promote it. They are going to start selling it in 1.5 tins! Very exciting for me. Why am I announcing it here? Because I told him how many smokers are unhappy that the MacBaren...- JimInks

Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend
Because I've been smoking Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend, and have mentioned it a bit on this forum, given or traded some samples from the tub I got, a rep at Sutliff gifted me a tub of EGR, a tin of French Quarter, a tin of Blend #5, and an ounce and half of ERR Match. I promised him I would...- JimInks

Edward G. Robinson's Blend
I was wondering if anyone besides me has smoked or smokes this blend? Pretty decent stuff for an OTC mild aro. I just wrote a review at Tobacco Reviews, because I was annoyed by some of the reviews there. Frankly, I don't believe some of those "reviewers" actually ever smoked it; a few seem to...- JimInks

P&C Raises Some Prices
I had a feeling when Pipes and Cigars' H&H 20% sale was over that the prices might go up on those 8 oz tins. I guessed right, at least in regard to the 8 oz. tins. They were $14.95 and now they're $17.41 (strange price that). The 2 oz. tins are the same price and I don't know if the bulk prices...- JimInks

Jim's Big TAD
Well, I did it! I placed a big order today with Pipes&Cigars, and was happily surprised that master blender Russ answered the phone. He was gracious enough to let me pick his brain for a half hour before I ordered. What a tremendously nice man! Here's what I'm getting: Hearth & Home Louisiana...- JimInks

My Wife, the TAD Enabler!
I'm writing this to make you guys jealous, evil man that I am! My wife took a three day vacation with her mom and my mom to Myrtle Beach, SC. On her way home, she stopped by Smoking Pipes and as I just found out, she had an order I had written down, but had not filled, and placed the order at...- JimInks
