[Riverfall Location] Vin's Smokehouse

[Gossamer]

A second tier fixture, Vin's Smokehouse is accessible by some narrow winding allies that traverse the slope of Riverfall's vertically challenged living space. The first thing one notices when walking through the door is that the color orange is represented. Vin loves orange, and it is literally everywhere. Walls, floors, even the decorations and fabrics on the table and chairs are all prominently featuring orange motifs. Regardless, the Smokehouse holds to the tradition of most Riverfall buildings and features high arching ceilings and brick exterior. Large glass lamps imported from Wind Reach hang from the ceiling casting otherworldly glows about the walls as the lamps gently sway with the air currents in the building. A large bar fills the northern wall, though the selection of alcohol is very low. What Vin does have, he has in large quantities. The spirits are not very diverse because Vin's true genius lies in tobacco. Vin has four of the most prominent types of Tobacco found in Cyphrus. He also carries Visonsmoke an d a number of supplies to augment people's tobacco habits. Any variety Vin sells can be found in loose, cigars or cigarilos. Vin also carries all sorts of tobacco paraphernalia which is found on one huge wall display opposite of the spirits counter. The whole place is alive with activity as customers gather in little seating nooks and tables all featuring water pipes. One simply has to pay for the tobacco and a waitress will come and set up the pipe and light it for the customers. Dress is low key so there's no real need for social nicites as the Akalak relax. Along with selling tobacco and good times, Vin has been known to hold the bets the locals make with one another. He's also been seen running odds and starting up what in essence is Riverfall's own bookie service. He'll run odds on anything from horse races to matches in the Gideon Area. Usually whatever local bets hes got going are posted on a small bulletin board in the Smoke Shop.   Vin Kashibur Name: Vin Kashibur Race: Benshira, Human DoB: 471 (41 YO) PoB: Eyktol Title: Proprietor Skills: Cigar Making 75, Business 61, Accounting 60, Socialization 58, Rhetoric 50, Gambling 45, Acting 40 Gnosis: Ovek 1 Vin is a very self driven entrepreneur. When he first stepped foot in Riverfall he realized quickly that physically he could not best an Akalak nor have any respect earned from the race unless he did something that hadn't been done before. And pulling on the great traditions of the southern smokehouses, Vin decided to cater to the single males of Riverfall and provide a place for them to come and be served tobacco and spirits by lovely ladies and gentleman who would leave them to their drinking, smoking, and gaming. Vin's Smokehouse was a smashing success. It quickly became the gathering place for Akalak and human males alike. Popular for its free-thinking environment and eye-candy waitresses, the Smokehouse is usually packed every evening until closing time.   Price LIst Tobacco - 5 sm/lb House Blend – Rich, earthy, this deep tasting tobacco is a popular favorite.
