Idea for some semi-useless items.

I had an idea for a couple of items. The first item is a cigar. You could possibly set up a stand for cigars that when you use, emit smoke. It is wonderful for sophisticated conversations and would probably sell quite abit. I know my character loves smoking them. You could even possibly make them using the same item that you would use to create the Rags item.
 
The second item is the +20 Vorpal Spork. There is no acctual purpose for this magical piece of cutlary but would be kind of funny to find if you were dungeon crawling and one of the pieces of loot you hauled up was a magic spork capable of cutting through your steak, your plate, the table, and into your leg.

N/A

There are the pipes, which are the cloest thing to a cigar you find. And pipes are much much more sophisticated than cigars. What would you rather do? Smoke a cigar and beat someones ass or smoke a PIPE and beat someones ass as you keep it lit with the other hand.

Well, actually... the pipe is nice... but there seems to be only one thing to smoke: Stinkweed, a tobacco substitute :p
 
Perhaps with the blockade of Old Port gone, we can get some additional tobaccos added?

Agreeing with cigars, since I've had about 3-4 PCs ask Crane if the Kingsman sold them :P.

cigar and pipe so distinct

hanging from a pine tree by my knees sun shining through the shade noone knows what it's all about its too much, man, let it all hang out.

In my opinion it is better just to roleplay you are smoking a cigar when using the pipe animation, and say that you are not smoking pipeweed, but rather tobaco

I do like the idea of flavory loot with no other purpose than being sold. If a bazzar-like merchat that buys these was added apprise could actually become an important skill since a character with high apprise would get more gold of this "useless loot". It also feels cooler to have such.

But even if just for selling it to Tobar.. well, i agree seeing a magical +7 spoon would be fun.

I've found boxes of cigars in EFU/A. They weren't usable, though.

Maybe this would be interesting if the smoke effect actually looked like you were smoking rather than a geyser erupting from your face.

When Jaden got the Cathbadh Relic, the coolest part about the whole thing was finding the replenishing stinkweed plant in the chest. I never bought cigarettes again after that.

*smokes cigar* works just as well, i think

for once i agree with derf..

OMG

Eh, they're flavor, and consumables. Cigars and Pipeweed go in there as luxuary vices with all the Wines, Ales, Spirits, all sorts of specialty foods, and what-have-you.
 
It's certainly not a priority project, but it does add flavor, much akin to what fleetingheart might be working on with the various drink suggestions he asked for.
