He met me the following Sunday evening at the Hartford Gun Club, where he nonchalantly proceeded to diesel smoke 50 straight. I noted, with some initial concern, how he would grip the front end. He held it between his thumb and index finger, like a lady would hold a fine cigar. My account balance suddenly went to zero.
