Question on a reviewer: Eulenburg

[gripsie]

Hey everyone!
A couple of days ago I rediscovered "Eulenburg's" wonderful reviews over at tobaccoreviews.com. I remember many of them having been really inspiring and fun to read several years ago, and last week again I had a great time browsing and rereading them.
My question now is, since I don't know the American pipe community very well: does anyone know that gentleman, if he's still active here or in any other media pipe related? Tobaccoreviews says he hasn't been active there for two years now, so I was wondering.
Best, Eddy

I've always enjoyed reading his reviews, and I'm surprised to discover that his last review dates back to mid-2011.

Ah, the little mysteries of the pipe community. I hope you find out, but I highly doubt that you will. Probably someone unknown off alone somewhere.

I have read his reviews since I started going to that site in 2001. I always enjoyed his descriptive prose. I have never seen him on any pipe board.

Always wondered the same thing. We have similar tastes and he has turned me on to quite a few tobaccos I wouldnt have tried otherwise.

He described the flavor of some blend like eating a gangrenous horse :rofl:

I like him too.

Yeah, his reviews don't shy away from humor and exaggeration. Very refreshing. Dunhill's Royal Yacht was that blend, workman: "This baby has all the flavourful charm and sweet redolence of slightly gangrenous horse meat." Haha.
I love him for this line on Haddo's Delight: "I put this in a Dunhill prince, sat in the balcony, and gave God thanks that, when he created the Manhattan skyline, he also created pipes and Périque."

 

[workman]

I guess I like gangrenous horse meat then :rofl:

Who was that guy who wrote completely over the top reviews, usually quite critical? He seemed to have a few screws loose but was very entertaining none the less.
