yepper......Jim I. is indeed the "man of all men" in this area. Your one-liners concerning "how old is Ed" at another thread..just a gut-buster.. Just for info for all.....if anybody can beat 12/29/40, I've just done lost my "seniority". Ed Duncan, Batavia, NY pipe/cigar since '62 Ed, I was happy to razz you, buddy. And even happier you got good laughs out of it. You're a good man! |

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.) Thank you for the very kind words. buddy. I like to do my part in being a fellow pipe smoker, and enjoying all the fun we have. And if I know something that will help another, I'm very happy to do so. What's the use of knowing stuff if you can't share? |

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.  |

Uh-oh, Ed will be devastated losing his seniority. On the other hand, good for you framitz; you're still young at heart.
