Ahoy! ive been lookin at me pirate once in a while and thought! how can i make him cooler!.
And i've come to think, by Davy Jones beard!.. Pibes! wouldn't it be cool to have a possibility to drink and smoke aboard ur ship while sailing the seas!? :D
Maybe even cigars of some sort. (I admit there is more potential in pibes.)
As suggested by some in comments tobacco crates could be a thing for merchant alliance.
