    JimInks, I've Gotta Ask.

    "It certainly took me many years of smoking, studying, experimenting and guidance to get me wherever I am today. I just hope to learn more." This is true wisdom. I've concluded that's what separate the best at any professional endeavor or hobby. Obviously natural talent makes a difference...

    Jim's C&D Toscano Maestro Reviews.

    Thanks a lot for your reply. It's helpful.

    Jim's C&D Toscano Maestro Reviews.

    Wow Jim, you just made me want to try all 3, because they all seem to be in my wheelhouse. I have a quick question regarding the 4 star reviews. I know you give your ratings based on what the competition is producing in the same genre, and not personal tastes. Would you consider these...

    Seattle Pipe Club - Plum Pudding Special Reserve Review

    In my opinion, and I'm probably wrong because I'm no expert, but to me the special Orientals in this one taste like Sutliff's Katereny they put in the cringle flake and I'm sure I spelled that wrong. It's a taste I don't like anyway and other people's reviews don't describe it the way it...

    Seattle Pipe Club - Mississippi River Special Reserve Review

    I much prefer this one to the PPSR, but definitely didn't get all the tasting notes you do. To me the fancy Orientals they put in the Plum pudding special Reserve are the same ones used in the last cringle flake, and they don't taste good to me at all. It's good that some people like that...

    Cascadia?

    Sounds good actually.

    Jim's Sutliff Pipe Force Episode IV Review.

    Good review. That works for me. My review is "I think I like it"

    Jim's Sutliff Pipe Force Episode IV Review.

    I also smoked a bowl with the moisture it came with and one quite dry. It tastes similar to me both ways, but it seems to burn better for me drier, but it burns pretty good either way.

    Jim's Sutliff Pipe Force Episode IV Review.

    I can see why you had a hard time reviewing this one. I wouldn't know where to start. It's got a lot going on at different times in the smoke, and sometimes I taste flavors that I would never expect based on the components. But I have to search them out. It's also sweeter and less tangy than I...

    Jim's Revised Escudo Review.

    I doubt I would notice, because I'd probably think it was my taste changing and I'd either like it more or less than before. And another factor, is a lot of people put it in the cellar and don't try it for quite some time. I saw a mystery blend episode on smoking pipes, and nobody could guess...

    Jim's Sutliff Paradoxical Review.

    I wonder why no one seems to be commenting on this one. Are people bluffing and waiting with their trigger finger? Hopefully not because I'd like to get my usual 2 tins.

    Jim's C&D Warped Saint Espresso 2023 Review.

    Now that's an impressive feat for anyone to accomplish in 2 months with any tobacco. Did you slowly get tired of it, or did it just keep tasting better? I was hoping to buy a tin from someone, but I'm going to assume you would be the wrong guy to ask. Now that they are releasing a new version...

    Jim's Revised Escudo Review.

    Thanks Jim, I've smoked a tin a few years ago and thought it was ok but nothing too special to my uneducated and undeveloped taster. How would you say the current version of deluxe navy rolls compares to the current version of escudo? Based on your review, it seems the current version is at...

    Jim's C&D The Beast 2023 Review.

    Oops, I just read your title. Thankfully I was wrong and it hasn't released yet. I must have been seeing people that got it early somehow. It will be interesting to try it this year now that it has ST James perique. Thanks for the review!

    Jim's C&D The Beast 2023 Review.

    I bought a tin last year and enjoyed it quite a bit. I was unaware of this year's release till it was too late. Very disappointing I must say.
