I experienced a similar sight a while back on Brady Street in Milwaukee at an old Italian bar. This old codger (looked like he was well into his 70s and had survived a rough life) was smoking one of those dark, dry-cured cigars (you know the ones, they look like old poodle turds). He sucked it down to a short, wet, nasty stump, crammed it into what looked like an old Dr. Grabow that hadn't been cleaned in a decade or more, and smoked it down to ash. It was wet and kept bubbling and spitting, just about grossed out everyone at the bar (and we weren't exactly a high-society cultured bunch).Winslow":hpfyzw1g said:I grew up in an Italian neighborhood and can remember the old Italian
shoemaker smoking cigars in a bent pipe.I thought it was gross then and
I doubt if I will ever see that again,it's a big deal if I see anyone smoking
a pipe in public anymore. :|
