We rarely stole his Camels but we did grab some Luckys from the Mom.
My mother smoked True cigarettes and my father liked Di Nobili cigars.
My Grandfather was a chainsmoker. In fact he'd forget he had a cigarette burning, left on the edge of an ashtray, and light up another one. The first one would keep burning until the front end had burned away enough that it no longer balanced and they'd fall off the ashtray. All the tables Mom and Dad inherited from him and my Grandmother have little burn scars from that.
