Meet the Moderator: the venerable da'Rum

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.

Meet the Moderator: the venerable da'Rum

Post by Capn Jimbo »

Welcome da'Rum! Again.

da'Rum: "I would be chuffed or is that puffed? If a tobacco segment was made. I would also put my hand up to moderate it. "

It's "chuffed" alright, British: quite pleased : delighted.

His kind offer was graciously accepted. I'd like to extend a sincere welcome to an old friend, one of the great supporters of pure rum. He continues to fight the good fight. His dedication was especially obvious when he not only noted alteration, he refused to do any business with these distillers, particularly the Big Three.

He knows his spirits, stills and a good smoke - which he particularly enjoyed after having conceived his new and beloved son Theodore, already being called Teddy by other members.

I expect he will check in here shortly to make himself officially known and to introduce readers to the joys of pipes et al. A multi-talent if there ever was one...

Thanks Jimbo. First order of business is ya'll is banned! :)

In all seriousness I am glad to moderate this small section of the site. I imagine I won't have much to do as this site is made up of good people who are always respectful of each other even in disagreement.

So please enjoy the smoking section and I emplore you to take up smoking as it is a gateway to better mental health. Just leave cigarettes alone, those things will kill you.


Cheers.

I consider myself banned...


But that's just another day in Paradise. The real news is that da'Rum has reached yet another pinnacle - his acceptance of this assignment, and of a dollar to buy beer turned out to be his 400th post here at this ridiculous website, thus annointing him...

A "Minor God". Hooah! Makes you kinda wonder what the next bizarre level is. Bless you my son...
