I heard from a friend a few months back that Orwell was SUCH a socialist that he refused to buy cigarettes. Instead, he would either bum off from strangers, OR he would go around, take the remaining tobacco out of the butts and roll his own cigarettes which apparently reeked SO badly of ass, people in bars would give him cigarettes so they didn't have to smell that.
Could be bullshit, but I thought it sounded interesting. The friend is a political science major who has such an obsession with Orwell, when he got baked about six months ago on salvia, he hallucinated a 30 feet tall George Orwell with spotlights for eyes warning him that the highwayman he was seeing in the field was dangerous. He wound up chasing this Orwell hallucination through like three fields until another friend tackled him to the ground.
