Maybe he was bitten by a radioactive tobacco beetle?If I have it right, jiminks work is doing the art for superhero comics (and other comics), and in the process, he has become a superhero in the pipe world. No one comes close. It was caused by being bitten by a radioactive spider that landed on an asteroid in his crib, and imbued him with pipe smoking powers attained only by extraterrestrials.
Yes, there is a need to talk about aerobic vs. anaerobic aging of tobacco, although I don't know much about that subject, I feel it's a good topic that could be good for a few pages of posts. Or perhaps we could further contemplations on what is the best lighter for baccy packed with the Frank Method..The Post Racer is my personal pet peeve. These guys will literally start posts with "I don't know any thing about this subject but .....". There's also the Hijacker who will turn every thread that he's in to a subject he wants to talk about.
