A good Smoaker has a (hort Pipe with a large
Bowl that will hold about a quarter of a Pound
of Tobacco , thofe that are not fo great Smoakers,
have lefs Pipes , and thofe who do not love
the oily Heat of Tobacco, fmoak thro' Canes two
or three Yards long •, others ufe no Pipes, but roll
a Leaf of Tobacco hard, light it at one end^ and
fuck at the other.
Here I mult not omit to defcribe the admirable
way of fmoaking a fociahle Pipe : Suppofe ten
or iifceen Friends fat round a Table, in the middle
of it is a thing like the Bowl of a Pipe that holdsi
m more than four or five pounds of Tobacco j
there are holes ftop'd round the bottom of this
Bowl ^ then comes a Servant with a burning hot
piece of Copper, and a bundle of fmall Canes 5
he lights the Tobacco with the Copper, and every
one takes a Cane, unftops a hole, and fixeth
his Cane in it^ and thus they fmoak dijociable
Fipe. Our fingle fmoaking is call'd Abiaor : But
this fociable way is call'd Abiaozaor^ i. e, fmoak-"
ing together.
And this is fuch a mark of Friendfiiip,
that if you ask a Man whether he be intimately
acquainted with another, he will anfwer.
