A Cigar in Rhinebeck, New York: could this be Samuel Reifler's

Probably not my cigar, Susan -- not if the picture was taken in 2010. I quit smoking cigars about 20 years ago.

SR, Of course not yours, and I am glad to learn that decades have passed since last you inhaled the deadly smoke. I had fun with the composition-there it was, self made- and memories of time[s] past. I was returning from Olana, which I visit throughout the year, and happened upon the cigar. No harm meant, of course.

I quit not because the smoke was deadly, but because cigars were becoming fashionable.

I like your photos. Found your other website. Art history. Excellent!

"Time[s] past." Des temps could be either time or times (or weather for that matter) perdu, not exactly "past," time lost, times lost.
