Really? They were smoking in the dugouts as recently as last year? I quit smoking in 2006 when the prices started going up here in NY to around $7. There's certain newsstands around the city I've seen them upwards of close to $13. But there's still those who are willing to pay it. Holy sh*t! Really?

I don't think I've ever seen that one of Coach Bryant. That was before his Alabama days and before his trademark Houndstooth hat...but he always had that pack of unfiltered Chesterfields in his pocket. Makes you wonder how much better some of those folks could have been if they hadn't smoked so much. Nice pics. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that one of Coach Bryant.

But a boxer? Wow. I do a lot of road racing in Japan, and it's amazing how often I spy Japanese runners having that pre-race (!) or post-race butt. Hel-LO!

For all I know, 12 bucks sounds reasonable. No clue. However, I do love a good stoogie. Different league of course. It's a crime that you can't buy Cubans in America. You can pay 15 bucks for ONE Cohiba in Tokyo. Romeo & Jullieta's are upwards from 6 bucks each. Cafe Creme Aroma cigarillos are about 5 bucks a tin.
