Cigar Sightings

[JonnySlingblade]

Being new to the LL evolutionary chain, I'm not sure if there's already been a thread like this or not. By I was over my friends house, she was flipping through channels, and I kept pointing out every person I saw holding a cigar. This got me thinking about a neat thread to throw up here. The next time you see an actor in a film or television show holding a cigar, throw it up here. Why, you ask? Well, I could say it's a good indication of how deeply engrained the cigar is on the american lifestyle, its context and symbolism in the artistic community, and it's impact on the entertainment world. But mostly, I think it's just plain cool! And if you're awesome enough to know the brand as well, more power to you! Here's mine:

In "Mona Lisa Smile" Topher Grace is smoking a cigar at the dinner party.

Groucho Marx in "A Day at the Races".

In a midnight in the garden of good and evil, kevin spacey smokes some pantela's prob conetequite wrapper through out the movie.

seinfeld, Boston Legal

[shakespeare]

The only one that comes to mind is a classic series I used to Love when I was younger:
George Peppard - John " Hannibal " Smith

[CrazyFool]

Wedding Crashers- Owen Wilson and Christopher Walken step outside for a smoke (unbanded though.....)

[jr-_p]

lots of clint eastwood westerns like; the good, the bad and the ugly

[DownUnder LLG]

A movie with John Travolta, The Enforcer I think it was called.
He plays a nasty a$$ dude laundering money for nasty a$$ cubans etc. Had to laugh when the cubans came to his house to discuss recent mishaps with there money. They went JT's walk in humi to get a cigar and JT says... "Don't touch the Cubans", he was talking about the cigars and his house was in Miami.

I can see the funny side to this

The best part is when the guy throws it down and says that they are fakes

Matador
brosnan's character starts lighting up a cigar and looks at Kinnear and offers one to him.
Brosnan: Montecristo?
Kinnear: (hesitates) Sure........Why not!

I don't remember the rest of the scene because like an idiot I was pointing out to everyone that it was a Monte LE (not sure which one or year) with MAYBE a little too much enthusiasm. I can only imagine what they were thinking.

Jackie Chan's movie "Dragons Forever", which was dubbed as the greatest Matial Arts romantic comedy legal thriller ever made, has a villian who smokes Davidoff Cigars. There were a couple of funny seens where he was in fights while holding the cigar in his moouth making sure to keep it lit.

[Dogwatch Dale]

Crimson Tide - Gene Hackman smokes Monte #2's throughout. Best line is where he offers one to Denzel Washington (his "first") and tells him something like "be careful, they're more expensive than drugs".

FWIW, I have a novel underway in which the anti-hero (love-him-but-hate-him sort of fellow) smokes multiple brands, depending upon how nasty he feels. Whether this one sells remains to be seen.

okay on the Bronson/Crsito note is that Peirce in the Montecristo White ads? the one where they guys in all white, totally Bond-ish (or ah former bond-sih) and the guy looks so much like Bronson but i feel its not
