Nice touch to see the aged Virginia tobacco leaf attempt to sing what later became our state song, “Carry Me Back to Old Virginny.”
L. Ron Hubbard smoked Kools religiously. Literally, because every Scientology Org has a Hubbard Office, and in every desk, there’s supposed to be a pack of Kools. (Unless one of the staff smoked them.)
Later on, he switched to another brand that was “low tar” only compared to a blacktop highway in summer.
Oh yeah, and check the sign that they use to mark vault locations and Hubbard’s death spot:
