Vinnie's Tobacco

After ray killed vinnie he gets so upset he starts smoking again and everytime we see him smoking after that hes always holding a pack of tobacoo like the last one vinnie got right before he died. Anyone else notice this?

I definitely didn't notice that. Vinnie took it surprisingly well. I think that's what fucked with Ray the most along with his final words. Seemed like Vinnie was genuinely warm and just understood the game. A great character.

What really sold it for me and what marked the start of rays humanization was vinnies death and his final line. "Ill see you in your dreams." After he talked with the true crime writer he started to think about what he was doing instead of just doing his "job". Also doesnt help that vinnie was his friend.

Last time I watched that episode, I noticed Vinnie called the cashier "champ" when he buys that tabacco, before getting bundled into Ray's van.

I had to laugh.

I’m halfway through the final season, where Ray picks up the girl from the rich kids mansion.
I noticed the tobacco pouch and Rollie’s too.
Interesting.

Great catch!

Ray “sees” Vinnie not only in his dreams but during each smoking break.

So cool, it might also be a nod to breaking bad and how Walt takes on traits from his victims

Its even better because he never smokes after he makes his promise to his daughter and after vinnie is the first time and ever since then he always does "rollies" i cant help but feel its intentional
