Turning a Work of Art into a Pile of Ash

[Shemp Howard]

I had a rare oppertunity this morning in beautiful Baghdad to enjoy a nice smoke. I choose a AF Hemingway Work of Art for the occasion. I received a
5er the other day so this was the first one to burn. The ash was firm and changed from dark to light after the first third. It seems pretty firm so I decided if I could get through without distrubing it. I almost made it. It feel off right after this pic was taken. Oh well, I will try it again soon.
