Cigars and Charutes --UPDATED

 CIGARS AND  CHARUTES

I bought a cigar
The expensive kind
It didn’t last a very long time
So I nursed it as long as I could
I knew I would
Miss the pleasure it gave
And
When it finally died
I bought another for just a dime
I made the best of what I had
When this was done
i  got another one….
Just like those charutes
And guInea stinkers
Sometimes called
That grandpa used to smoke
Narrow , tight and black
Tabacco fully packed
From I don’t know where
But
When grandpa smoked them
Cicles of spirits danced in the air
Eyes closed
A smile in some dream
How he loved those charutes
Guinea stinker sometimes called
And
When one was done
Grandma would  throw it  down
The basement sink
Made  the water run
Then grandpa would ask me once more
To get a pack of gunea stinkers
At Charlie’s candy store
