I am a comic book artist (currently for Archie Comics) and also the head writer/associate editor of Alter Ego magazine, which covers the Golden and Silver Ages of comics. I've written/co-written five books on the subject.

Cool! What are some of the titles you've worked on in the past?

You are, most definitely, a tobacco expert as evidenced by your extensive list of tobacco reviews done on TobaccoReviews.com. Whenever I am looking for information about a tobacco, I go there and look for your review.

Thank you for the very kind words. A list of my credits is fairly lengthy and it'd be a lot of work to remember it all. I've worked for Marvel, DC, Warner Brothers, Disney, Dark Horse, Valiant, Tekno, Archie, Malibu, Image, and some others. I've done about 14,000 pages the past twenty-five years.

Adam how is that possible? I'm so confused.

Bought a pipe from Shemp a ways back and he was kind enough to send me a few samples, one of which was the Strang!

The St. Bruno arrived! You get first pick since you asked about it previously, which means that you can take up to 5 tins. They're not cheap - $15.99 each (as always, add $8.95 shipping under $100) - but that's still less than buying from overseas! Let me know, and then we'll see if anyone else wants a tin or two!

Tried some C&D Bayou Morning in a pre-Republic Peterson Shamrock.

If you don't know about it, it is a Vaper that is 25% Perique, which is a lot of freakin Perique.
Vapers are my favorite, but it's a little heavy on the Perique for my tastes as is.

I jarred up the entire 2 oz, minus the one bowl and I'll revisit it in a couple years. It will be interesting to see what age does to a blend that Perique heavy.

Having some Pride of Manassas (new name for my homemade flake :)) Batch 35 - cigar scraps, cigar cavendish, burley red tips, imzir, md 609, latakia, peach/vanilla cavendish, cased w/ peach/vanilla flavoring. Just sliced and jarred it yesterday, so it's still a bit too fresh, but I had to give it a try. This is another installment of a collaboration among a couple bums (started out as Puffers) and I, so I owe them some now!

Flavor is kind of sweet and dirty, like your second or third girlfriend :)

PS - pairing with some Los Amantes Mezcal, a match made in Heaven.

2015 Erinmore Flake in a 1961 Barling's Make #5719 saddle billiard. Kirkland coffee, light on a beautiful day (60 degrees).

Just opened this tin with 5 months age. First pipe bowl in weeks and other than the dottle being reluctant, tastes pretty good.

In years past I referred to Erinmore Flake as a 'full aromatic' because of the top sauce but it's not oppressive (and I haven't smoked it in over 30 years). The burley is a good player in the flavor profile but it makes the smoke a little dry and scratchy (throat) but it does retard the acid without negating the VA sweetness.

"self-made"? How about a little DIY Pipe porn, when you get a chance?

Thanks to Tobias Lutz I'm smoking Germain's Plum Cake in a smooth, bent Irish Second. It's delicious.

I know several people who have better stuff and more of it than I do. Most all the old stuff came from trades or gifts or pay forwards.

[Pipe Smoker]

Yesterday, I opened a tin of Dunhill De Luxe Navy Rolls with 3 years, 8 months of age on it. This stuff is one superb VaPer – such a delectable Perique tang, yet smooth. I have two more tins of similar age, and bitterly regret that I didn't cellar more of it.

It goes particularly well in my Kirsten Mariner. In fact, since opening the DLNR tin I've been smoking the Kirsten exclusively, and I'll continue doing so until the DLNR is gone. I wouldn't do that with a conventional briar, but it's no problem with the metal-stem Kirsten.

[bluenoser]

How is that Pipa tobacco?

I find its pretty decent, nothing high end but great for what you pay. The flavor is good but a bit chemical tasting. Creamy smoke and burns well. For the price it's decent and if you get a pack with a mm and not a Chinese pipe then it makes it worth a try. I paid around the cost of the pipe alone for a pack of each so the tobacco was pretty much free.

I really like the Vanilla Cavendish,to me it tastes alot like 1Q or a mellow Captain Black.
