Saw this on Reddit! Remember that this is done by sprinkling Latakia, not immersing the tobacco in Latakia.
It's the Greek for "presbyters", with the church on the tin of Presbyterian replaced with the Hagia Sophia in Constantinople.
"Presbyterian" written in Greek letters. I don't recognize the mosque though.

localization can be kind of awesome and sometimes imply something worse then was being avoided. Like now this tin looks like it came from some alternative dimension where the Presbyterians have taken over and are stealing other peoples holy buildings.
It's complicated. This is a joke about the Eastern Orthodox Church (which is different from Presbyterians, who follow a reformed theology), but whoever made this image used a poor choice of church. The Hagia Sophia was the seat of the Patriarch of Constantinople until the conquering of the city by Ottomans in 1453. The Ottomans renamed the city to Istanbul and turned the cathedral into a Mosque.
Indeed. I've very fond of this song (do you see the pipe? ?):
IN this particular case, it would be "taking back" a holy building.
I was having trouble not sharing this song.
The three main branches of Christianity are Reformed (after the Reformation), Catholic, and Orthodox. Presbyterians are a type of Reformed, this is Presbyterian for Orthodox as it is in Greek and has an Orthodox cathedral on it instead of the Reformed church on the original.
But for the reformation, formal wear for guys would be colorful dresses. That's my theory.
It started out as a Christian Church.
I have both visited the Hagia Sophia mosque and smoked Presbyterian. Though not at the same time. They are both nice but a little too oriental for me.
