Cigars on Film

Puff_Dougie

Thought it might be interesting to compile a list of the best cigar related moments in movies. Being a cigar enthusiast, I always take note when a film puts a great looking stick in the spotlight. One of my favorite stogie scenes is the intro from Swordfish. What are your favorite Hollywood cigar scenes?

Bumped into an I Love Lucy episode yesterday looking for where they hid science channel when they changed the name of ComCast to Xfinity (cause Xfinity has an X in it). Ricky and Lucy and the Mertzes went to Cuba. Lucy made a fool of herself impersonating a tocedor in a cigar shop.

Acting sure has improved.

Tuco is awesome! Forgot about that scene!

Here's a montage of Clint Eastwood making Backwoods Smokes look cool...

Fan fact: His favorite flavor was Honey Berry

On the anniversary DVD for The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, it was said that while Eastwood himself is a non-smoker, he felt that the foul taste of the cigar in his mouth put him in the right frame of mind for his character. Leone reportedly took to Eastwood's distinctive style quickly and commented that, "More than an actor, I needed a mask, and Eastwood, at that time, only had two expressions: with hat and no hat."

It is almost an urban legend type of thing with what cigars he smoked for the movies. It depends on who you talk to. Some say local Italian cigars, some say Marsh Wheeeling Virginians, and any number of other suggestions are thrown out as being "the cigars." He did an NPR interview and he only used the cigars for a prop. He does not smoke and that he would cut them to length for different scenes. He stated the name of them but it is so mumbled that it leaves it open to more debate. Just google it and you will see what I mean when it has become urban legend-ish
