Cigar Girl

From a travel article: "Stopping in front of King Corona Cigars & Café, I’m quickly reminded that Ybor City was once the “Cigar Capital of the World.” Factories within just a few miles of where I’m standing produced 700 million cigars a year, and all of those cigars were hand-rolled in the Cuban tradition.

My first thought was two-fold, either she was being attacked by a swarm of beetles or she got tired of carrying little bags with her when she walked her very-regular dog.
