One thing I can always say about Tony P's work. Regardless of the smoking involved, he knows how to photograph a woman to best accentuate the inherent beauty of the female form. Having said that, here are some random thoughts about Vol 25. After reading the other comments, I realize just how subjective the fetish has become; everyone has their own particular likes and dislikes, and I'm finding any two viewers will rarely agree on what pleases them in a SF video.
Rachel was a pleasant surprise. Some very nice OMI and combo exhales.
Amanda Jaye is smoking hot, (pun intended) but she is a very traditional smoker, yet appears competent. Some things the others have said about holding the cigarette in her teeth don't bother me at all. Yet she falls far short of the theatrics I look to RS for (think Joy, Frida, Maddie, and Brigitte for example.) If she could manage some smoking acrobatics, she'd be unbelievable! (again, IMO)
I downloaded one of the last girl's clips (Lauren??) but she was simply too pedestrian and reserved for my tastes. I have no desire to see any more of her; I'm sure many will disagree.
Which brings me to Janey, who I held out great hopes for, but so far has been a big disappointment. I based my hopes on a few stills from the new volume and I was hoping, like Joy, she had advanced her style beyond that of her earlier efforts. No such luck; her style seemed so scattered (I HATE messy snaps and wafting), Janey is just all over the place. Of course she is a very attractive woman, and most of the time, looks great on screen, but her smoking was so unfocused (for lack of a better word), I doubt I will view any more than the 3 or 4 I have downloaded.
I would agree that the sample clip is very representative of the performances, so if you see something you like. you will probably be rewarded.
