My character uses snuff, a mixture he makes himself containing roughly 1/3 gunpowder. If he were to use a pipe it would probably just be a plain wood one, and he would have to refrain from his powder habit.

Briar is good.

Aromatics have their place. They don't really give you a solid buzz like an English Tobacco does, but a good one smells fucking awesome and beats nothing while also making it easier for people who don't smoke to hang around you because it smells so good.

If you want to smoke to relax at the end of the day though, aromatics are pleb tier and because of the sugar content tend to burn hot and fuck up a pipe if smoked too quickly.

Dunhill's Navy Rolls are pretty solid. I like flakes and rolls over loose personally, but I can't really tell you why.

Rolled 2 (1d12)

1) Telescopic pipe: adjusts length from a few inches up to several feet.

2) Weapon pipe: weighted, doubles as a hand-to-hand weapon in emergencies. Come in axe, club, dagger, sword and bec-de-corbin variants.

3) Shaping pipe: enchanted and/or constructed so smoke emits from it in a distinct shape, usually an animal, word or something rude.

4) Creature pipe: more complicated and magical than the above - smoke is actually transmogrified into some sort of semi-permanent illusion, like smoke butterflies or a smoke genie.

5) Mirror pipe: a mirrored pipe. Useful if you need a mirror, a pipe and don't have much space. Can be used for signalling.

6) Jewel pipe: a pipe carved entirely of precious gemstone. Useful if you need to be #swag and don't fear for your physical safety.

7) Smokeless pipe: vents its fumes into some linked pipe in an irrelevant alternate dimension. Might well piss off the inhabitants of that dimension.

8) Capture pipe: steals fumes from other pipes in the locality, meaning you don't need smoking material. Might well piss off the people's tobacco (or whatever) you're stealing.

9) Practical pipe: breaks down anything put in the compartment into something smokable - however tenuously. Adventurous experimentation with this pipe tends to lead to extremely deleterious mental effects. Goblins are very fond of this one.

10) Skeleton pipe: small bone pipe that lets you smoke the last breaths of the dying. A high end magical artifact used to sustain life beyond its natural end.

11) Magma pipe: a small element of intense natural heat means the material in this pipe never needs to be lit. Breaking it will cause a blinding flash of light and short burst of extreme heat. Takes a long time to cool down once used.

12) Enlarging pipe: produces enormously more smoke than a regular pipe, enough to occlude sight. Useful for generating cover or a distraction.

Because spiracles limit the size of insects and other invertebrates greatly. That's why you don't get gigantic insects crawling around everywhere and the biggest species turn up around the equator.
Depending on how "realistic" your fantasy setting is, I would guess that giant insects have to develop lungs or something similar.

I'm just not a fan of aromatics. When I smoke, I want to taste tobacco. I mostly smoke on my own or if I'm out around other smokers so they don't care. In fact they love the smell of good pipe tobacco. Navy Rolls are delicious and I do love me some flakes; Sameul Gawith's Winter Time Flake is my current mainstay, although I always keep some ribbon cut stuff, usually a Dunhill blend or sometimes I'll mix it up with some Squadron Leader or Presbyterian Mixture.
>>
>>47474893

Never could figure out why flakes and rolls taste better. Functionally they are basically the same.

I got an order from pipes and cigars the other day and they threw in some limited edition Borkum Riff. They are sweet as all hell, but credit where credit is due they make my house smell awesome.

Wish I could get aromatic tobacco smells in like an incense or something. Smoking them is just 'meh'. I am also sick of having to order my tobacco off the internet too. Unless I want to get Half and Half or Prince Albert, I am fucked for choice locally.

Either a calabash or a hawkbill. Something with a large enough bowl to hold enough to keep lit for a while without having to refill and light, but still at a size that could be used handsfree, and with some small mobility, if needed. The calabash also lends itself to more distinct designs decoratively but I've grown to dislike the kitchey associations they have with Sherlock Holmes. Hawbills are nice but a little frumpy.

Because game authors think hatchets are too multifunctional for munchkins to resist applying to every roll, so they try to give them broad axes the size of a small building instead.
