Just curious, what cigars can you identify in what movies?
Cigars in Movies

Tony Montana is Scarface comes to mind and any Clint Eastwood westerns.
I think SK wants to know if there are any specific cigars in the movies in which they are smoking cigars. I too have wondered this.

George Peppard smoked cigars from his private stock in his movies. They were "Banacek" hand-mades from Club 21 in New York. He had them specially rolled just for his use. He also smoked them during the A-Team.
Just looking for more specific examples like this one. Something like "In ... movie, ... was smoking a Don Francisco Lancero".
Clint Eastwood always seems to smoke the small vitolas 36-42. Like in "Two Mules for Sister Sara" and "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" they look like an Ugly Coyote or other cheap stick and are just a prop. Maybe not. Also, he lights them with a sulfer match but then a triple flame torch would look a little out of place in 1873.
i think the guy who played J. Jonah Jameson in the Spider-Man movies was smoking a fuente in the first one...
Black Hawk Down - Bolivar Belicoso
At the beginning of the film they capture Atto to question him about Aidid. He offers General Garrison a cigar and says, "They're Cuban. Bolivar, belicoso." The general holds up his cigar and says "So is this." Atto replies, laughing, "Miami, my friend, is not Cuba."

Col Slade sends Charlie to buy Montecristo #2s in Scent of a Woman
Not the Movies, but stand-up comedian George Burns estimates he burned through over 300,000 El Producto's. Why El Producto's when he could afford the best? Because the short filler cigars would stay lit. He said, "When my cigar went out and I had to re-light, the audience went out."
OBTW - he lived to be 100.

Capt. Ramsey: How do you like that cigar?
Hunter: It's good, sir.
Capt. Ramsey: It's your first?
Hunter: [coughing] Yeah.
Capt. Ramsey: Well, don't like it too much. They're more expensive than drugs.

Great movie, great scene. I think you're correct. In another scene when they're sitting around the table Gene Hackman is smoking again and you get another look at it and it looks like a Monte No. 2.
In "W" as is George W with Josh Brolin, I believe they were smoking a Tatuaje Verocu either west or east.

From "Smoke" magazine
"What would Hellboy smoke?
In his 2008 Movie Guide review of Hellboy, film critic Leonard Maltin writes, Perlman is terrific as the cigar-chomping, emotionally vulnerable Hellboy. That enjoyment of cigars runs deep onscreen and off.
My favorite cigar now is Joya de Nicaragua, the torpedo, says Perlman. Its got a beautiful roll, a beautiful draw, a very robust flavor, and the blend is spectacular. Its also priced pretty reasonably - thats important when you smoke as many cigars as I do.
In addition to Joya de Nicaragua, he likes a range of others from Partagas, Arturo Fuente, and Davidoff. His passion began long ago and hasnt waned despite the ups and downs in cultural trends.
Ive been smoking cigars since college, which was decades before the cigar frenzy of the 90s, he says. When the frenzy went away, I was still smoking cigars. I still smoke two or three a day.
