the weight of years

I got to hang out with my step-dad, Paul, this past Sunday, and we smoked cigars on my front porch before he went home. After I finished my stogie I couldn't help grabbing my camera to take his portrait. I think he was expecting me to tell him when I was ready, but I just clicked off the last three frames on the roll as I saw fit. This was my favorite because I think it really displays the strong but weary figure of a man who's worked a physical job for over thirty years.

Pauly looks great! What kind of cigar did you guys have. Looks to be a pretty good sized gauge, and a connecticut wrapper.

I hope I look as good as Pauly when I get older....Here's to hoping!

He had a Rocky Patel - you'd have been proud :-)

He picked it out himself without my recommendation.

I believe it's a Rocky Patel Edge then. They're big guys that's for sure. Take over an hour to smoke a whole one. Tell your dad, he made an excellent choice.
