if you smoke, it's pretty likely you've come across lucky strikes.. i don't think i've ever heard them referred to as lucky stripes before =P
perhaps the emptiness of a relationship and the fact they can't move forward, is causing him to reflect and look backwards- cigarettes being his reflective medium of choice..
once you look at it cigarettes are an amusing and interesting thing to look at..
i think every smoker, as well as addiction, regards those little white sticks with a certain fondness.. malboro reds [the hard stuff, for when youfirst started and thought they were cool].. LandBs when you realised they were cheap.. menthols when you got bored.. rothmans when you wanted some real nicotine fixing.. lucky strike rolling baccy cause the packet was cool.. golden virginia when you got pretty poor.. designer cigs when you stumbled across a better stocked newsagents you'd never visited before and had more than a fiver in your pocket.. the cheap holiday cigs and the cartons you bought off friends.. and then malboro lights when you realised you were addicted and scared yourself into cutting down..
