We here at The Patch decided that it was only appropriate to provide a special title for not only one of most prolific posters, but also someone who has played a major role in building the membership here. Jim, you are a valued member here and this is about the closest thing we can provide to a trophy. Thank You for your involvement and interest in making this the best forum out there.  |

Congrats Jim!
Now that you're the "Samurai of Smoke" does that mean all future egg frying will be in a wok?

I was wondering about the new legend on my avatar, and Bonanza Driver alerted me to this thread. Many many thanks, Justin for the great honor. And I thank all of you who congratulated me. Very humbling title and thread. |

A suggestion for his new image.....  Closest thing to a kimono that I could find. The title is Japanese for 'Samurai of Smoke'. We could have it monogrammed on the robe. How about it Jim??? |

Jim has done quite a bit for the pipe community in the past several years. Quite a few interviews, he got Edward G. Robinson blend brought back via Sutliff and Jim actually wrote the tin/tub description for Edward G. Robinson. (You should try the blend if you haven't had it.)
Jim's reviews have potentially sold so many tobaccos for the blending houses/brands over these past few years, blends people otherwise wouldn't have bought and tried, they should probably be paying him a little commission!
Jim does it all for the love of the craft though, and if we were to nominate a member as being most influential pipeman of our time, he'd be up there on the list. The 30's-70's had their pipemen of the day, and today I believe Jim is the biggest celebrity pipeman of our time. (Some may not know who Jim is in real life, but he's famous enough to be a celebrity in my book.)
