Capn Jimbo's Rum Project Forum

Recently bought a bottle of this my self. Very nice rum.

A quickie update... Pipe smoking has become a rare treat now, which seems about right, so this day I'd poured a dram of Doorly's XO when the thought of this truly wonderful Barbados Plantation with its undeniable elements of vanillan and rum could not possibly have been a better choice. Again I bes...

Pear wood, only had one smoke so far some Navy Flake Mac Baren was good but reserving judgement till it's been smoked a few times.

If you guy's have a spare moment take a look at this site and see if you have any recommendations not to expensive though k...
