I'm on day 31 of our cruise.  Only 22 days left.  Since I boarded, I've now and then looked for an opportunity to smoke a cigar or pipe.  Frankly, I had  essentially stopped smoking them years ago, but kept the humidor and other accoutrements.  I brought along three cigars on the Regent Seven Seas Explorer Cruise late last year,  gave one away, and smoked two.  The Explorer had one of those dandy smoking rooms where cigars are sold and drinks served.  Very nice. With that pleasant experience, I thought, okay, I will have 53 days on the next cruise.  One final time before I give everything away.  I brought three pipes and a few cigars.  No lighter because the airline industry hates them and makes it difficult.  No pipe tobacco because I never got around to buying a packet. All authorities these days, the Seabourn Odyssey and Australia most particularly, have conspired to prevent me from smoking.  Mind you, they are doing the right thing.  Smoking should be permanently banned.
