Without the cigar it looks like he's having a stroke. This is ridiculous.

I'm getting some rather fine imported cigars for my graduation day, figured I might as well live it up like someone who has money considering I'm spending £40 on a 1 hour hire of a sheet, a couple of scarves/big ties and hat.....

I have a monstrously large cigar which I expect to eat soon on my 40th birthday.

Yep, I said "eat". It's made from chocolate :lol:

There was uproar when the cigarette was airbrushed out of Paul MacCartney’s hand from the Abby Road album cover a few years ago.
