Cigar Pyramid
While making this photo, I was reminded of the Kipling poem "The Betrothed," about a man whose fiancée gives him an ultimatum: he must choose between her and his beloved cigars. He spends the whole poem debating the relative merits of each, uttering the famous line: "And a woman is only a woman, but a good cigar is a Smoke." That, of course, was written in another era with different sensibilities. Today, a guy could have his Nobel Prize for Literature revoked for publishing stuff like that. (And the sexism wouldn't go over too well either...)
