Just watched the above film for the first time since the cigar interest bit me. Throughout the movie Clint smokes long thin cigars which are so long he cuts them into sections and pockets what he's not smoking for later.
Is this a true practice, or is it complete dramatisation?
Google search suggests the stogies were Virginians, but when I search that name nothing comes up.
At a complete guess I would estimate that they are somewhere between a Lonsdale and a Panatella in gauge but much longer before he cuts them. Is this the way cigars were sold in the olden days, was the customer expected to cut them theirselves? Are any cigars still sold that fit this archetype?
