I wasn’t a habit smoker when I was in. But still before each cruse I stocked up on some Swishers for an occasional treat from the grind. Wisely I stocked enough to pass a few around. Some things you take for granted on land become luxuries and special treats on a long cruise. The prevailing hazards I inhaled on the ship far exceeded what years of smoking could do to my lungs.
Nowadays, “swishers” would be your shipmates rather than your cigars.
