Captain's Cigar

Wondrous item (consumable), rare

The Captain's Cigar appears as a robust, hand-rolled cigar, its tobacco leaves interwoven with fine golden threads and the depiction of a skull that shimmers in the light. A faint aroma of exotic spices and the salty sea air lingers around it. The cigar can be lit in a bonus action, and while it is lit the item has 3 charges that can be expanded to use the following abilities:

Imposing Aura (1 charge). As an action, you gain advantage on Charisma-based skill checks, such as Persuasion, Intimidation, and Performance. This effect lasts for 15 minutes. Captain's Code (1 charge). As an action, you exhale a puff of smoke in the shape of a ship's wheel, imparting authority. All allies within 30 feet gain advantage on their next saving throw or ability check. Big Smoke (2 charges). As an action, you exhale a cloud of smoke in a 15 foot cone. Affected creatures have to succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw, or be blinded until the end of their next turn. When both charges are used up or the cigar has burned for half an hour, the item is consumed.

Lore

This brand of meticulously handcrafted, gold-laced cigars, were the smokes of choice of the infamous pirate captain, Davos Flintlock. Known as “The Captain’s Cigar,” this item exudes an air of charisma, authority and trickery, reminiscent of the swashbuckling captain himself.
