VaPer, heavy on the Perique, doused in brandy.

I think Monk's Revenge would be a stoved Virginia flake with a Belgian ale topping, strong on the nicotine and light on the topping. The topping should be barely present on the tongue and leave you with a mild flavor of having just finished a creamy ale as you ease into the smoke.

I would think that name should be a complex blend within a plug or flake with very subtile flavors throughout the bowl and a medium to heavy nic hit. As far as topping goes something like a very mild rum or whiskey barely noticeable on the tongue.
* edit also make it a somewhat an english with a twist to the flavor profile

It would be an Irish plug with a small amount of Benedictine added.

I've been thinking about a story recently... thought I'd share. "Monk'' related...
Two monks are out for a stroll one day when they come upon a woman on the banks of a river. She needs help crossing but the monks aren't allowed to touch people. One of the monks proceeds to pick up the woman and carry her across the river and afterwards, returns to his brother on the bank and they continue their walk. Exasperated, the monk turns to his companion and says ''Brother! You know we aren't allowed to touch people, let alone carry them across a river! What are you thinking!?'' He turns to his brother and says ''Brother... after I helped her cross the river, I put her down... you however, are still carrying her.''
