He sat in the corner of the semi-dark room

Hi

Would you say that the following lines are natural? Any suggestions are welcome.

He sat in the corner of the semi-dark room popping the sour grapes, ignorant to the still lit, half-smoked cigar on/in the ashtray. The smoke rings that curled up slowly...

Thanks,

Tom
