infinite zest - 2014-09-26
5 sad stars. I didn't know anything about this guy until just now. We forget that until fairly recently, it was pretty cool to smoke, and you'd have that uncle who'd make the smoke rings at BBQs and stuff to impress us kids. Not to mention every French New Wave film. If I mention Cuba, and think about it, a cigar will probably be in your head before Castro and Guevara, embargo, etc.
Most of my non-immediate family were heavy smokers, and the wives would always outlive the husbands, probably because they didn't smoke and drink all the time. I miss them all, but it means I grew up with cool grandpas that took me to smokey bars and plunk me in front of the pinball machine, who passed away when I still needed a chair to stand on to play it.
