This isn’t my experience. A daily hardcore -pack or more- smoker will always have a rolling supply of smokes and lights. It’s not always a neatly paired one for one, it’s more like a par system used at a restaurants. They never run out. The idea of running out is anathema. Running out is for casual smokers or if they are flat broke…at which point they’ll be bumming cigs from others. Cooper prepared for his crime. Having cigs and lights would rank up there with having a pistol or goggles. Cooper wouldn’t have known how long it would take till he next could grab smokes, he would have arrived at PDX stocked up. His using up one match book off beat with his cigarette pack being used up shows he is a more regular smoker and his ability to pull out another match book and keep on puffing shows he was likely a regular smoker. If his pack of smokes ran out, he likely would have opened another one.

Hi all…. New to this forum. I post at Reddit on Cooper. I’ll jump right in, a legit smoker would be sure to arrive at PDX with smokes. Heavy smokers don’t leave it to chance, they never run out. That’s the difference between a casual and hardcore smoker. While the photo of the vending machine is interesting, Cooper came prepared. He would have had a day or two worth of smokes on him. Shifting gears, there was a very interesting parachute discussion recently on here. It seems there are two schools of thought, one being Cossey was always straight with the FBI about it being an NB6 even if he told reporters more and more nonsense over the years. The other school seems to believe Cossey made a mistake originally with the FBI thinking the chutes all came from the skydiving center and he never corrected it, thus it’s likely not an NB6. Is this basically the situation? What is the chute at the museum in Seattle? And what did Cossey tell the FBI the chute was? We have one of the two chutes so if Cossey was right about that chute immediately he is likely right about the other. But if Cossey’s story on that chute doesn’t line up with the chute in the museum there a problem.
