This has caused a thriving business in smuggling throughout the country, and upped the prices on even the worst cigars. These high prices have made the cigar even more of a status symbol and has inspired one Finnigan Tweed to begin makein’ his own brand of cigars with special surprises in them. Tweed’s Finest brand of cigars is proving very popular with certain government employers as well as gambling gentlemen.

The internal gun is a single shot .22 pistol, the pistol cannot be reloaded except by the manufacturer or a qualified gunsmith. The pistol can be fired by pressing a small stud located under the paper band, while the stud can be pressed by biteing down while the cigar in held in the mouth the manufacturer takes no responsibility for the consequences.

>Effect: Slumber Cigars create a cloud of thin smoke that lasts for the duration and can fill a small (up to 15 ‘ by 15’) room. Large or ventilated areas disperse the gas too quickly for it to take effect. The slumber smoke causes everyone in the area to lose one wind each round, anyone making a Onerous (7) Cognition check notices the loss of wind and the funny smell in the air. If smoked the Slumber cigar will cause the smoker to fall into a deep sleep unless he makes a Incredible (11) Vigor roll, even if the dude makes the roll he still takes 1d6 wind.

Like the Hollow cigar the knife cigar may be lit briefly but not smoked. The knife cigar is not the most dangerous of weapons, but it can be a nasty surprise.
