Films and cigars

[TonyN]

Any members like watching films where there are pipe and cigar scenes in them.
Watched a documentry tonight on titanic showing first class passengers smoking cigars, and the captain smoking a pipe.
Wonder what cigars first class passengers smoked cuban or non cuban, and the brand of pipe tobacco the captain smoked.

Interesting note on the different classes partaking of different tobacco in different ways. Mate reckons snuff was a working class only thing, anyone know if he is right?

This could be a thread for spotting cigar and pipe scenes and trying to name them?

I remember watching The Game not long ago and there is heaps of cigar smoking going on in that film!

Yep...3rd series....I love the style of it too.
Also watched 'The man with the golden gun' yesterday, Roger Moore had a few cigars in that.

True mark that caught my eye straight away.

officer Pitman was a pipe smoker, and his pipe may have been recovered from the wreck, intresting to know what brand of tobacco he and his officers smoked
got a gut feeling may of been a brand coming from ireland.

Snuff was an upper class gentlemans habit in the 18 &19th centuries. It was pretty commonly used because it helped get rid of the smell from lack of sanitation in streets.

Funny how habbits change over the years, can you imagine the looks we would get today.

I've notice over the last 5 years or so, the amount of smoking on screen has gone down drastically. The only time you ever see smoking now is if they are a bad guy, they are stressed/angry etc.
If you watch films from the 80's, Ghostbusters sticks in my mind for some reason, pretty much every scene someone is smoking.

Also, on the snuff front, I couldn't imagine trying that stuff. I Swedish guy a met in Thailand gave me some Snus to try, wasn't my cup of tea.

There was an episode of The Blacklist last year where James Spader lit up a cigar inside a bar and enjoyed it in front of his accompanying FBI agent, loved it.
