| | A British surgeon on an expedition in Panama in the 1680's wrote an account of an |
| | Indian smoke-blowing session: "The End so lighted he puts into his Mouth, and blows |
| | the Smoak through the whole length of the Roll into the Face of every one of the |
| | Company or the Council, tho' there be 2 or 300 of them. Then they, sitting in their usual |
| | posture upon Forms, make, with their Hands held hollow together, a kind of Funnel |
| | round their Mouths and Noses. Into this they receive the Smoak as 'tis blown upon |
| | them, snuffing it up greedily and strongly as long as ever they are able to hold their |
| | Breath, and seeming to bless themselves, as it were, with the Refreshment it gives |
| | them." |
