It's good to see a few Sartorialist photos where the cigarette isn't a significant element of the composition.
It seems to me that the Sartorialist started off as a document of street fashions and styles, executed by a competent photographer who was an enthusiast, a fan, and was refreshing because it wasn't afraid to feature men, people who weren't under 30 and those with less than media determined physiques.
Lately it appears to have morphed into a showcase for a professional "fashion" photographer with the emphasis on the photos and composition and a preference for the mainstream approved body "perfect. A great many of the photos feature the cigarette as an accessory.
