    Seeds in My P.S. Tobacco?!

    It is a grass seed head. I imagine it was blown into a tobacco leaf and accidently made it through the process. No biggie. Seriously doubt that they are adding filler.

    Well, if it were not a setup photo and he worked in the coal mines, he would have been lucky to make 25. The pipe might have extended his life a year or 2.
