I did see a reddit thread briefly talking about this, but wasn't sure how accurate it was. Thanks!

Nice, would also recommend Safing Portmaster for Linux, if you've not tried it yet. A great FOSS tool for managing network connections.
For my work machine I've got to use macOS. These connections were seen with the Little Snitch app. Highly recommend it.
No update in over a year. Is the project still maintained?
Not unless you go against mainstream history and believe that trade with the Americas occurred long before the conquistadors made their way there.
Tobacco is indigenous to the Americas.

Europeans can thank the "devil" for smoking. Rodrigo de Jerez, was one of the crewmen on Christopher Columbus's first voyage to the New World in 1492.
Jerez is often credited as the first European smoker. After learning to smoke from the indigenous peoples of the Caribbean, he brought back tobacco to his hometown in Spain. However, the sight of him inhaling and exhaling clouds of smoke was unfamiliar and frightening to people who had never seen it before.
According to some accounts, when Jerez's wife saw him smoking, she was terrified and believed he was either possessed by the devil or had gained the ability to breathe fire and smoke. She reported him to the local Spanish Inquisition.
The Inquisition, also unfamiliar with tobacco smoking, reportedly imprisoned Jerez for his "sinful and infernal" habits. After seven years, he was released, but the ban on smoking remained in place for a while.
By the time Jerez was released, smoking had become more common in Spain and throughout Europe, and his "demonic" habit was no longer seen as unusual.
