just as soon as Duane becomes Commodore.
We just gotta come up with the hat! Maybe this one would work? Or does it send the wrong message?

Pardon the interruption from this newb, but is Black Frigate considered an aromatic? I see it listed on both SmokingPipes and Pipes & Cigars as an English, but the virginias have been "soaked and aged in rum". I don't understand.
Carry on!

Methinks it's an American blend. I've had only a small bowl and it wasn't sweet, at least not to me.
Also, I recently got a tin of the 'base' for BF: Blockade Runner. The cake smells stronly of rum (awesome tin note), but I haven't tried it. I don't get to smoke as often as I'd like (can't smoke at home).

It's not an aromatic as much as it is an English with a good aromatic smell, if that makes sense. It doesn't come off smelling like you've just popped the top on a flagon of rum, but it's just there under the surface...calling your name. It has a great aroma, but to me, calling it an aromatic is akin to making it sound like it generates a wonderful bouquet of vanilla like other aros. So maybe it's a pyrate bouquet?

Seems like for Black Frigate the health warning should be a huge sticker covering most of the tin with a skull and cross bones. That would do it.

Or they can get real creative and have it pop up when you open the tin.

The same can be said of a lot of Navy Flakes as well. I think the difference is that a rum aro is cased with a rum flavoring and not necessarily real rum. Rum in BF presents itself as a sweetness and isn't over powering.

Here
It's hot as hell and we all smell like ass

There's albatross shit on the deck and the mast

The Beekeeper's Friend supply's getting low

Barnacles thick, so the ship's moving slow
We're down to the last crumble cake in the tin

The rats in the larder are all looking thin

There's no wind to push and no hands on the oars

We're tripping o'er piles of Sav 904's
The Cap'n retired below with a bark,

"Don't knock on me door or you're feedin' the shark!"

We haven't seen land nor a barge one to take

We're moving so slow, we're casting no wake
Just as the sun drops closer to night

The man in the crow's nest shouts, "I see a light!"

Rosenthal grabs the spyglass and he scans

"Port side!" he shouts, "A boat and a man!"
Necks are all craning and lining the rail

The tiniest breeze grabs ahold of the sail

"Spin to!" shouts ol' Embers emerging on deck

We bear down and turn for the small floating wreck
"Where be you going and who do you be?",

we shouted. The man said, "Me name's Olkofri!"

"Been drifting for days since me schooner was sunk."

"All I have left is me pipe and this trunk."
We hauled him aboard and heard his sad tale

How an old mine had blasted his vessel's gunwale.

"All I could salvage was this here old crate

full cleaning supplies and a nice crumble cake."
"Well you'll need a lift, then, and we need a mate.

If you open that trunk, then we'll get you a plate.

There's quarters below and roast rat on the spit.

Upnorth1 just finished them up on the pit."
The cloud of despair dissipated by dark

And no one was offered as food for the shark.

The pipes were all glowing and spirits restored

And that's how we welcomed Olkofri aboard.

They just keep getting better and better, Jay!
Epic for sure.
There's no wind to push and no hands on the oars

We're tripping o'er piles of Sav 904's
The Captain's gotta start taking better care of that collection.
I can't stand the peer pressure!
Pirate peer pressure must be the worst. I don't know who's in charge of the Frigate HR dept, but that crew doesn't appear to have completed sensitivity and diversity training.
