Rudyard Kipling and Cigars
Kipling plainly loved Havana cigars. But there don't seem to be many photos of him smoking. Wonder what vitola he favored?
Here's a nice one. |

You seek enlightenment, read Kipling's poem, "The Betrothed."

Sure I've read that. It's great!
But you'd expect there to be a wide variety of images showing the guy who wrote that smoking a cigar. There don't seem to be very many. |

I'm thinking a gentleman in Victorian England didn't get a photo done with a cigar (or a pipe, he smoked both I believe)
I have no idea of the story behind this picture, found it via google https://goo.gl/images/ZFwr91
