Billy, is that a cigar?

Billy, is that a cigar?

We were on the boston whaler for the afternoon on Martha's Vineyard and Billy was the pilot. Easing behind the wheel he pulled out one of his father's Cuban cigars and I quietly watched him prepare it, light it and smoke it. Just like his father. "Billy, a cigar?" "Mom, I've been smoking these since I was 14."
