Pipe from Rhode Island displayed in pub (5)
I believe the answer is:
briar
'pipe' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'rhode island displayed in pub' is the wordplay.
'rhode island' becomes 'ri' (US postal abbreviation).
'displayed in' indicates putting letters inside.
'pub' becomes 'bar' (I've seen this before).
'ri' put within 'bar' is 'BRIAR'.
'from' is the link.
(Other definitions for briar that I've seen before include "Prickly wooden stem" , "Wild rose bush" , "Tobacco pipe" , "that one may smoke" , "Prickly scrambling shrub" .)
