A couple recent sightings

    Let's try this and see if the board still accepts sighting
reports ;)

(Actually written up almost a week ago, not "today".)

I can’t even remember the last time I posted a sighting
report. It’s not that I haven’t had any good ones. Just
been too busy and stuff. Well, today I had a great one, and
last week, too. So, I’ll try to post the basic info here.
(Okay, I’ll admit; one of the main reasons I am writing
this up is so I can have it to look at later to refresh my
memory!)

Okay, last week first. I was in a coffeeshop, the town next to where I live. I often go there, and it has a nice mix of female smokers. Just a few days before the sighting I will describe here, I had talked with a hostess (lady who works at a nice bar here in Japan) there. I had seen her several times before, usually with a female friend at the counter that faces the window. That night, she happened to sit next to me. Was busy the whole time on her cell phone and doing her makeup, but finally I had a chance to talk to her just a little. At least, until her next phone call came in. Really nice. Unfortunately, didn’t get to the exchanging names stuff, but I know I’ll see her there again and she’ll say “Hi.” Probably about 30, but could be a little older and just looks younger because of makeup. I told her I was on my way home from work, and she told me she was on her way to work, as I had guessed from her appearance and the time, about 8 p.m. every time I had seen her there.

Sorry, the reason I am writing this! The hostess is great
looking, but just a regular smoker. Either Kent or Phillip
Morris all-white 100s. Regular style of smoking. Not the
reason for this post.

The reason is a lady who also smoked all-white 100s, but
with the most incredibly voluminous French inhales I have
seen in my life! No hands lightup, instantly deep
inhale/puff, and then huge French inhales from start to
finish. Sometimes, it seemed she lost her concentration or
something (or maybe she realised she had an audience at her
3 o’clock, LOL!). She would lose the smoke and it would
mostly drift upward past her waiting nostrils. That
didn’t happen often, hthough. Usually the smoke found its
target, right up her nose. Nice tight cone exhales.

The funny thing was, I was thinking she might be a
transsexual or something, she was so muscular! She had long
hair, braided up on top of her head, and I was squinting
like crazy to see if I could detect an Adam’s apple,
haha, but hadn’t come to any conclusion by the time she
finished her fourth or so cigarette and prepared to leave.

I was ready to go, too, so I did and followed her out. She
headed into a building across the street from the statioin
that’s main purpose is housing a big grocery store. Oh,
as she was going down the stairs from the station to the
street level, I noticed she was walking kind of bow-legged!
Not a good sign for my doubts about her sexuality! In fact,
she was walking in such a pronounced way that I saw some
people walking up the steps looking at her as she walked
down.

So, she goes into the building across the street and,
instead of entering the grocery section right in front of
her, takes a slight right and is waiting at the elevator. I
decide I can’t just stand there, so I go into the grocery
store and consider my next move. I turn around and see that
she is talking to an old guy in front of the elevator.
Figuring it is safe now to at least go out there and
listen, I do so. Turns out she has the nicest, most feminie
voice! I am so relieved. And, the reason for her being so
muscular is soon made obvious; I see that the elevator goes
up to the floor that there is a gym on! (When I saw her
talking to the guy, and saw that they were both dressed to
work out, I remembered the gym up there.) I’m hoping she
often goes to the coffee shop before working out. (Or, is
she an instructor perhaps!) I looked up the gym on the web,
and it turns out they have a weekly class of some kind or
another just about every hour, every day, so I wouldn’t
doubt that is what she was there for. So, I’ll try to go
to that coffee shop on the same night next week, and the
week after that, and so on, and so on, …

Okay, which brings us to today’s sighting. Another French
inhale! Only this one was much younger, probably 24 or so.
(The sports lady looked about 50.)

I was in a nicer coffeeshop, near where I work. I sometimes go there for lunch. a little expensive for such plain food, but always a good placee for sightings because there are lots of department stores around and so the worksrs and customers both make up a lot of the customers there. (Unfortunately, a lot of men there, too, both of the worker and customer variety.)

Today, there were three ladies next to me, two obviously
foreigners and one Asian looking lady. They were speaking
French, I think … I mean, I think I know French when I
hear it, but their language sounded just a little
different. The two foreigners were not smoking, but I
noticed an ashtray in front of the Asian lady, with about
three or four cork filter butts in it. After about ten
minutes, she scooted it back towards her from the middle of
the table and got a pack out of her purse. “Peter
Stuyvessant” (sorry, I know I butchered the spelling!)
Interesting …. Make a note to myself to research them
later on the net. Her smoking style was just normal,
though, open mouth pop that I couldn’t see the smoke at
all from her 9 o’clock, delayed, weak cone exhale.

They left, and not long after, at the table to the right of
where they had been sitting, a young lady sat down. I
didn’t look up at first, but saw her later, a few seconds
after I heard the telltale click of a lighter. Turn to my
right to see what the female form to my right was smoking
like (I only knew it was a female from the sound of her
heels when she walked in, and peripheral vision.)

Get this: she is smoking some kind of brown cigarette! Not
only that, but the second glance I take, I notice she is
French inhaling like nobody’s business. Lots of nostril
remnants and combination exhales, too. She is cute as a
button, fashionably dressed and hair not dyed brown at all,
kind of long and in a ponytail. Oh, yeah, about her cigs. I
never got to ID them because she kept them in the nicest
case I have ever seen, gold-colored metal. She just had a
drink, nothing to snack on or eat, and I noticed she drank
fairly quickly and was even biting on some of the leftover
ice towards the end, somethiing you hardly ever see the
lowest class of people do here in public, for whatever
reason. She smoked three or four. Nice no hands lightups,
with some nostril eshale on her lightup inhale. Very nice,
seasoned smoker and yet still young and fresh looking.
Great combination!

I noticed fairly soon after I started glancing at her that
her cigs actually had what looked like a normal cork
filter, and the rest of the paper part was light brown.
Another one to look up! I didn’t detect any real aromatic
smoke coming from them, but that could have been because of
the ventilation system or something. Later, I thought they
might have been Ark Royals, a pipe tobacco cigarette that
comes in a king size soft pack here. That would explain
partly why she preferred to keep them in the metal case,
but I suspect the main reason was the fashion value of it.
If they weren’t Ark Royals, I don’t think they were
Captain Blacks, another pipe tobacco cigarette brand I have
seen smoked here, because I don’t think any of the three
varieties of Captain Blacks have a cork filter. They are
all brown colored filters.

Well, anyway, whatever she was smoking, she made my day
today! Lovely French inhales by a nicely dressed, not goth
or punk, 24-year old, with a brown-colored cigarette
nonetheless!
