Pipes on the ships of old were nothing new. Tobacco and rum made their appearance in short order with tobacco inherited from American Indians and rum from the Caribbean. Smoking aboard ship was allowed by limited to a safe area and at safe times, ergo the "smoking lamp". Where? Usually near the Galley, as it is here. A huge thanks to the amazing da'rum - a man of high ideals and many talents. This is just one of them.
this is the state of my tobacco cellar. Not a lot but it doing me for now. Just got to add Peterson University Flake to it, some time next week with any luck.
****** Capn's Note: nice stuff, for those like me with bad eyes the baccies are Erinmore, Navy Flake, Durbur, Skiff Mixture Presbyterian Mixture, something called GQ Blend and of course, the well known Smoking Kills...
