(pouches? of) tobacco Explanation: Definition in Trésor de la Langue Française... the correct spelling being "pétun", seemingly: "Vx. Tabac. Un pot en grès à mettre du pétun (GAUTIER, Fracasse, 1863, p.305). Ils allument de longues pipes de pétun (ROSTAND, Cyrano, 1898, IV, 3, p.162)." NB note that the preceding items are also about the haram (presumably) activity of smoking. |
