Knitting + Men - Cigars = ?

[fuzzyjay]

The current issue of Knitty, an online knitting magazine, is dedicated to knitting for and by men. This pattern had a nice photograph. I don't like cigars, but I do like cute guys and knitting. Two out of 3 ain't bad.

I noticed it; I do think cigar photos with an unlit cigar are somehow unsatisfying.

In context of the whole article, it's at least understandable. The gent has a wee child in the house (photo of his wife and child are at the end of the pattern) and apparently chooses to enjoy his cigars outside to spare his child exposure to daddy's stogie smoke. Since the photo was clearly taken indoors... that's why it's not lit.
