    I'll answer the one I don't have to research ... the James Bond movie is "On Her Majesty's Secret Service". The only Bond movie in which George Lazenby played Bond.

    1. @ghostsofpompeii is correct. I had it narrowed down to "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" and the original "Casino Royale" with David Niven but couldn't decide on which to guess. I know Sean Connery only smoked cigarettes and Roger Moore smoked cigars. Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig didn't smoke that I can recall.

    2. No clue on present day brand featuring a Judge on the tin.

    3. Kenly Bugg in 1936. Bonus point: Both the Falcon and the Kirsten metal pipes were invented in 1936. 

    4. Rhodesians have cylindrical shaped shanks. Bulldogs have diamond shaped shanks.

    5. Vulcanite.

    The judge is on Orlik Pipe Tobacco Tins.

    Also, another name for the black rubber is Ebonite.

    Found myself trying to remember if a judge was on the tin art for one of the five "Civic Duty" (or something like that) tins.

    @RockyMountainBriar Don't know if you're a fan of the old black and white horror/sci-fi TV series from the 60s' "The Outer Limits" - but in the episode "Nightmare" the aliens holding Earthlings hostage were called Ebonites.

    Interesting.
    I love old black and white classics, and I love sci-fi, but I have seen very, very, few horror flicks, of any kind.  The outer limits creeps me out, along with horror flicks, and “end of world” films.  I hate mimes and clowns too...creepers.

    So far, no one has answered all ten correctly. 

    But @PappyJoe and @RockyMountainBriar are in the lead.
