Jim's Sutliff Private Stock Reviews
Having just reviewed two more blends in the Sutliff catalogue (Maple Street and Golden Age), I love coming to this thread to compare our takes on them, Jim. Keep 'em comin'! @shayde: You must have missed this recent write-up of Great Outdoors. I've been working my way through Sutliff blends for...- romeowood

Where Are The Hot Tea Guru's?
@pipebow: Coming from a background of coffee & tea, I find them two parts of the holy trinity of my enjoyments, tobacco being the third. You may enjoy a couple articles from a while back here on pipesmagazine--a brief history of tea and tobacco, and its continuation. Eventually I'll get around...- romeowood

Semois Tobacco from Vincent Manil Available in USA January 2014
Thanks for the link to your blog, arno--it was excellent supplemental material about the background of this curious concoction. Also, the recommendation of a corncob (MM of course)--from experience I can attest that, like a good steak prepared in a cast iron pan in the broiler, it will leave its...- romeowood

Sutliff Maple Street Tobacco Review
Congrats pipetradition! The 106 is a nice smoke, but doesn't get the action of my other pipes because of its size--i tend to be a clencher, and it's a big one. I was asked about C&D's Autumn Evening in a pm, and I have to confess I like the Sutliff take on the maple aromatic better. Autumn...- romeowood

Murphy's Oil Soap
Here's a little experiment for you to try: put a drop or two of Murphy's Oil Soap in a non-teflon pan and heat it on the stove until it reaches combustion. Repeat the experiment with lemon juice. Which one smells better, leaves less residue and doesn't induce retching and smoke alarms? Use that...- romeowood

My New Love Affair (Long Post)
My condolences, Allan. You've gotten hooked on the pipe smoker's bane with that 759. You'll pay absurd prices for any tins that surface on the resale market--the bay and pipestud, to mention a couple sources where they can irregularly be found. For the sake of your sanity and wallet, search for...- romeowood

McC Christmas Cheer - 2003
@pitchfork--It had a particularly sweet and winey note for me, like a deep ruby port. At least that's what my notes tell me; alas, I'm out of 2010 and will be forced to move on to 2011.- romeowood

My New Morta
Nice hunk of wood, Bradley, particularly the shank. Nice to see a morta sans the usual deep blast. Enjoy it in good health. -
Thoughts on 3 different blends...
Yeah, I can agree with the Lemon Pledge similarity--like pushing your nose into a fresh, waxy Meyer lemon, though without the chemical aftertaste. And yes, SC Johnson (a family company) still makes the stuff. Note that I actually went to the kitchen, sprayed some on the wall (don't tell the...- romeowood

McC Christmas Cheer - 2003
It is true the blend changes from year to year. If you enjoy pure Virginias, there isn't a bad year--they're all top-notch. If you choose to go down the rabbit hole and invest in a year-by-year study, you'll find some truly sensational vintages--the 2010 release was a cut above, for me at least...- romeowood

My Custom Cob Emperors
Nice pipes--and it seems they could do double duty as personal protection devices. Bravo! :clap: -
Jim's Visit to Sutliff Tobacco Company
Great report on the visit, and even better pictures, Jim! Thank you. And yes, I can concur that Paul Creasy, et al, are not corporate glad-handers--they're actually pipe people, genuine and truly enthusiastic about the business.- romeowood

What Are You Smoking? November 2013
Man, some sexy pipes on the last dozen or so pages. Nice. I'm making my way through this entire tin of Peterson Holiday 2013, now in a cob; I expect I'll finish the tin tonight. Sigh. Ephemeral pleasures are often the best.- romeowood

How To Clean Plateau Rim?
I'll chime in with one of my trade secrets: the best solvent for cleaning tar from your pipe is pure lemon juice (not from concentrate), a soft Terry cotton cloth, and gentle pressure. It's neutral to finishes and stains, replenishes the wood's natural oils, is non toxic, and (particularly as...- romeowood

New Box Pass Thread
I reached out to jason tonight, he's likely just swamped with the holiday workload (as am I). Keep calm and carry on, as the saying goes. I'll be posting up the newly revised list soon, so stay tuned--same bat-time, same bat-channel. :twisted:- romeowood

Tobacco Review: Peterson Holiday Season 2013
That pretty much sums it up right there. I have a minimum word count for the articles, though, so I have to fill it out with all that tasting fluff :wink: FWIW, I was a little disappointed with the 2012 Holiday blend--smelled good, a little on the potpourri side, but the flavor didn't...- romeowood
