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.
Just finished a bowl of Squadron Leader and I lke it. Avery nice baccy. I can recommend this tobacco to anyone who is looking to dip there toe in the water of an English blend.
Life is under no obligation to give us what we expect!
