tobacco

Every so often, in the evenings, there is a strong smell of tobacco throughout the entire city, or at least the city center. I guess it's when the wind is blowing in a certain direction.

The reason for this, apparently, is:

...the Tobacco Museum (Tabacologisch Museum) of the Niemeyer company, with a unique collection of material on the history of tobacco-smoking ranging from 3,000- year-old American Indian pipes to the present day, illustrating the manufacture of pipes and displaying pipes, snuff-boxes, spittoons and tobacco jars of porcelain, silver, meerschaum, crystal and ivory....
