Bring back the old blackjack I say!

For those not in the know, that's a leather tankard, lined with pitch. Adds a certain something to the flavour too, but you don't want to breathe in while drinking, not at least while it's (the tankard, not the beer) new. Now only seen amongst clog sides and at gatherings of the Sealed Knot.
