Mystery Review: July 2024

In this month’s episode, the panel strives to guess the mystery tobacco submitted by July’s guest inquisitor, artisan pipe maker and tobacco lover, Jared Coles. Based in Visalia, California, Jared has been fashioning quality tobacco pipes since 2011, and like many carvers, his journey as an artisan was catalyzed by his love for pipe smoking. Will anyone accurately identify the blend? Watch through to the thrilling conclusion to find out.
For those unfamiliar with this little game, each month one member of our team — or sometimes an honored guest inquisitor — selects a tobacco or cigar for us to review in a blind taste test. Then we gather around the camera, scratch our heads, and smoke, all while attempting to guess the mysterious submission, its manufacturer, and, if we’re lucky, its name. There's only one rule: There are no rules.
