Shipment of tobacco

Tobacco is a common plant from the Nicotiana genus and the Solanaceae family. The dried leaves are smoked in things, such as cigarettes or smoking pipes.

During the 17th and 18th centuries, tobacco was sold as a commodity by several privateers. During the Seven Years' War, shipments of it were also handled by the Royal Navy and the French Navy. The Assassin-turned Templar Shay Cormac took tobacco as plunder and sold it as a means of revenue.[1] In the late 18th century, the Louisianian Assassin from New Orleans Aveline de Grandpré used her trades company to buy and sell tobacco across the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea, and Atlantic Ocean.[2]

Tobacco was principally smoked in pipe during the Golden Age of Piracy[3] and later in cigars during the American Revolutionary War.[4] Recreational use of tobacco continued through the Industrial Revolution into World War I,[5] and beyond into the modern era.[6][7]
