fumacious en · ADJ
Etymology
From fume + -acious.
Meanings
- Smoky.
-
Fond of smoking tobacco.
Rustic females who habitually chew even pitch or spruce-gum are rendered thereby so repulsive that the fancy refuses to pursue the horror farther and imagine it tobacco; and all the charms of the veil and the fan can scarcely reconcile the most fumacious American to the cigarrito of the Spanish fair.
