About
Catalog Entry: Rolleto’s are the Tobacco & Roll’s Co., stylized TAR, newest variant of smoking devices, and feature a filter buried within the base of the roll, and a “[m]ilder, and smoother taste”, along with the ability, …[t]o be inhaled.” ¹
Tobacco, for those who do not know, is typically not fully inhaled when smoked from a traditional cigar or cigarillo. Found originally by Gallawain ² explorers in contact with Northalians ³, the substance was sacred to the savages on the land. Gallawain pilgrim Hadriun Gala noted: “[it’s] [u]sed…by the primitives for their…spiritual practices and…[f]or trade between the innumerable tribes.” ⁴ The Valendara [vah-LEN-dah-rah] peoples — native to Sjelhavn [Sjell-havn] — smoked highly decorated alabaster pipes known as Isblomsts [ees-blohmst], (see: an example of the artifact on display in the MKW collection, which is of exquisite make: [471.892.0932]) exhaling the smoke into the dirt, believing the vapors carried their thoughts and offerings to their deities below. Of course, the Valendara were wiped out by the Vind’s but interestingly TAR’s previous cigar campaigns borrowed heavily from this piece of tobacco history (see: the Hesvaland [HESS-vah-lund] caricature from their other works in the MKW collection [various]). However, TAR’s Rolleto campaign would appear to be intentionally straying away from this aesthetic and bit of brand history. We can assume this is used, one: to separate a new product from it’s contemporaries, and two: as inspiration taken from that Hironese art movement, Modernism. Which is identifiable by it’s abstract figures, Avant-garde style, and darker more expressive tones.
Mirian Borronwood, a native to the city of Glory, has produced several works for TAR, with her angular modernist characters and bold typographic choices, nothing like the Firmosian ⁵ art in previous TAR advertising (see: TAR’s Firmosan works in the MKW collection: [various]).

THE MUSEUM OF the Known World (MoKW) houses the largest collection of art, technology, history, and science in the Firmosan Republic. Explore the story of human culture from its beginnings to the very present.[1]
Established in 112 B.A. / Year 888, by renowned explorer and naturalist Ser. William H.W. Packet and his wife, Edith Packet, as a “public collection of antiquities“[2] and originally known as the Packet Institution for Education and Discovery, upon Ms. Packets death, in 89 B.A. the Packet’s trust was purchased by the Firmosan government whom in 01 A.A. / Year 1000 established 09 Ser. William St. as the MoKWs permanent residence,[3] and began to slowly expand the Packets initial collection through acquisition and discovery.[4]
Each and every artifact in the MoKW, tells it’s own unique story, transposed across culture, time, history, and place. We encourage our guests to explore the MoKW at their own special pace and find the ideas and themes that connect all of these unique stories.
Ser. William H.W. Packet was an explorer, naturalist, and captain to grandest expedition of the age of sail, the Aurora Expedition. His wife, Edith Packet, was a philanthropist, writer, and often considered the first female lepidopterist, but by far their greatest legacy is that of the MoKW.
The MoKW sits in the heart of Newfield’s historic downtown. During the 1000 World’s Progress Expo, the Artifacts of The Known World Exhibit debuted in this exact location. Following it’s success the building remained, and the MoKW was born.
The MoKW continues to add new objects and artifacts to its collection to this very day. The Museum of the Known World: Collection Department participates in excavations across the globe in collaboration with partners in host countries.
