SLSL "A Small Rain"

>Why the cigar, by the way?

I'm with Freud and Dave Monroe; I don't think there's much significance
here but . . .

Is there a significance to the baseball cap and, if so, how does it bear
on the possible significance of the cigar?

The cigar is a de Nobilis (the Nobles?) but despite the fancy name, it's
a cheap cigar (class distinctions / HMS Pinafore / locals vs college
kids).

There was a Jesuit missionary named Robert de' Nobili who was noted for
"going native" in India.

Oh, don't ask me -- I think it's all too much of a stretch, but I could
be short-sighted.
