Interesting. I like it, leaves a lot of the story untold. Were the various types of cigarrete smoked by four different people, sharing the same ashtray? Was a down-on-his-luck soul sitting there for an evening, bumming smokes and telling his life story to strangers? Were some mafia types celebrating "snuffing out" a rival?
