Everyone in the place is smoking away at their work.
A friend shipped boxes of Cuban cigars he purchased in Cuba to his daughter in the US to order for some doctors. One package was returned to them from the border which scared them for a second until they realized it was returned for insufficient postage, they thought for a second that their daughter would be in trouble. The cigars were well wrapped in plastic and surrounded by pot potpourri.
I wish we could get Cuban cigars... but they're still a no-no. Apparently, it has something to do with Cuba being a Communist nation. So, I smoke Nicaraguan sticks and knock off the ashes in an ashtray made in China... Makes sense right?
