It's "inspiring" to think of stories that revolves around "Ancient Philippines stuff"...may these be from a supposedly, unrecorded account from the past or a "future" that reverts back to seemingly ancient looking times.... Doing Philippine stories set TODAY?...Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Well, as far as I know, the Kapre legends dates back Pre-History Philippines before the discovery of Fernando Magallanes (Magelan) in 1521. It was said that certain tribes (The Lumads, The Ifugao's)used rolled dried leaves stuffed with crushed bettel nuts, crushed guava leaves and assorted other dried leaves and weeds. (Eucalyptus leaves probably)to smoke.They also use these stuff to "mummify" their tribal kings and other dignitaries. (The Mummies of Benguet)

I'ts part of the "mythology" but I think, his "cigars" can show him knowledge from the universe every time he took a whiff from it.
