(Cigareetes, whusky & wild, wild women - Bardcore):
Yes, 'dragonweed' would be a good, evocative name for pipe tobacco in a fantasy setting. It effectively conveys a sense of exoticism, power, and the "fiery" nature of smoke in a world where dragons are a reality.
Here's why it works:
Here's why it works:
- Fantasy association: The name immediately places the product within a fantasy world, leveraging the strong imagery of dragons.
- Connotation of strength/heat: The "dragon" prefix suggests a strong, perhaps spicy or fiery, blend, which is a common characteristic of some pipe tobaccos. This also allows for different 'strengths' in the world (e.g., "Dragon's Breath" could be an extra-strong blend).
- Distinctiveness: While the term "dragon" is common in fantasy, "dragonweed" is not a widely established fictional product name, giving your world a unique touch while still being easily understood.
- Versatility: It can be used as a general term for the plant itself (like "pipe-weed" in Lord of the Rings) or as a specific brand name.
Haha, you would think so! I live in Southern Cali. But we still get loads of fog where I live.
Thanks!

I must have missed the banishment. What was the reason? Did he bore someone to death?
Part way through this bowl of year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. It's been a very busy day, but I got most everything done except for a KBV blend to review. I'm taking a break and relaxing right now. When I washed my hands after cleaning pipes, Norton the Nosey jumped on the sink and stuck his paw in the water. He looked up at me not understanding what soap was, silly fella. Here's two more Tomato the Brave fighting.
