Gentian Violet

Many, many years ago in the early 70s when we were allowed to smoke in the lab, one of the male techs used to smoke a cigar. Most of the time it wasn’t lit, he would just keep it in his mouth.

One day, we took the cigar dipped it in gentian violet and put it back where he kept it. He took the cigar like he always did, and rolled it around on his lips.
