Back in the 1700's there was a sailor that went by the name of... Captain porty!

Captain porty sailed the seven seas selling the finest of tabaccos, he was unmatched in the blendding of rum and fine blend tabacco's
discovering land, captain porty set anchor. he made a ship yard to use as a trading post for other sea merchants (porty was also a builder).
years later he also tried mixing the rich flavours of bourbon, which personaly i dont rate...but captain porty didnt mind feeding the needs of the nicotine starved seamen of the 1700's.
