old tintype.....after much 'cleanup'.....some Civil War Era teens, posing with cigars........Oh, my....that's an earlier version of 'me' .....actually, some now forgotten ancestor, anyway....on the right, wearing a brooch and cap, as I do now....I have the jacket, worn by the lad on the left, in my 'costume' collection......a few small moth holes in the wool, but...still... wearable, over a century and a half later.......and, ironically, someone tossed a little cigar from a car window, just this morning....just like the little Tiparello cigars, made in Dothan, Alabama, that these naughty boys are smoking....
