What type of cigs did Hunter S Thompson Smoke?

[Mycologic]

moron. How would you know this?

There are several theories about why some people think he was killed, but as far as what is known for a fact, there was something fishy with the gun recovered from the scene: "Deputy Ron Ryan said there was a spent shell casing, but there was no cartridge in the firing chamber, as there should have been under normal circumstances. Sheriff's officer DiSalvo confirmed this opinion; 'I think a bullet from the magazine should have cycled into the chamber'." And it doesn't make sense to me that a man like Thompson would kill himself for no apparent reason without leaving a note or something behind. Who knows, but there are a number of unanswered questions surrounding his death.

Well one thing IS for sure: Not everything Hunter S. Thompson did made sense to everybody. In fact, it seems like most everything he did made sense to hardly anybody. But the people that did get it, GOT it.

Also, Im not sure which gun he used to kill himself as he had a few of them, his revolver being his favorite one to shoot, but if it was a semi-automatic cartridge-loading pistol, he could easily have loaded a single shot in the chamber and cocked it without a clip. Depending on the type of gun, anyways.

Democracy Now! | Hunter S. Thompson (1937-2005) on the Iraq War & the Bush Presidency
Hunter Thompson was working on WTC collapse story before mysterious sudden death, warned he'd be 'suicided'

On Sunday the founder of 'gonzo' journalism, died at the age of 67 of an apparent suicide. Today we are air a Jan. 2003 interview Thompson gave on KDNK in the Roaring Fork Valley in Colorado. An excerpt: "Bush is really the evil one here and it is more than just him. We are the Nazis in this game and I don't like it. I am embarrassed and I am pissed off.

I mean to say something. I think a lot of people in this country agree with me - a lot than that are saying anything...we'll see what happens to me if I get my head cut off next week -- it is always unknown or bushy-haired strangers who commit suicide right afterwards with no witnesses."

It is most definitely odd how there are varying stories... it looks like it could easily be a CIA or Secret Service hit to me. Fuckifikno though.
