Hollywood Movies where real Cuban Cigars where being smoked?


Recommended Posts

Saw another thread from the Prez where it was reported Arnold S. was smoking a real one in his role as Mr. Freeze in Batman. Just last night, I was watching John Wick II and at the beginning it appears the Russian Mob dude was smoking a La Gloria Regional Edition.

Any other movies where real Cubans seemed to be lit up?

Blackhawk Down has the Bolivar belicoso scene, but I'm not sure they are actual BBFs in the scene.

Yeah I think he hands him a BRC. It's definitely not a torpedo shape.

 i might be wrong with the movie - i think it was one of the sequels to dirty dancing (as if the world needed that) but i might be wrong.

it was set in cuba on the very eve of the revolution, and i think the father of one of the dancers is happily puffing away. i'm pretty sure it was one of the early limited edition cigars (can't recall which one). i remember the double band. i also do remember being somewhat surprised, given when the film is set - a few years before we ever saw a LE.

Jordi Molla and Peter Stormare smoke Cohiba in Bad Boys 2. I've always assumed they were props, but they do have Cuban Cohiba looking bands.

Interestingly (or not), Stormare is the cigar smoking mobster in John Wick 2......

I haven't seen the movie, but the book discusses Cuban cigars heavily.

Was the movie any good?

A good rainy lazy sunday afternoon movie.  I like Paul Giamatti as an actor so I maybe biased.  

Enjoying the Showtime TV series Billions.

Apocalypse  Now.........boxes of Montes in the briefing trailer.

Ahh, I you're correct I almost forgot about that stash of Monte boxes they showed. Very cool

Paul Newman in "The Hudsucker Proxy" had a classic scene involving a Monte #2.

If it's the window jumping scene you're referring to, the cigar Paul Newman picks up while saying "It's a pity to waste a whole Montecristo" appears to be a Churchill or possibly a Hermosos No. 3, but it's not a size Monte ever made post-Rev. Obviously, this movie's setting mostly mirrors that of a time prior to 1959 so I guess it's not a total mistake but it's certainly not a figurado vitola.

Expendables 3: Is that a Monte #2 in Arnold´s mouth?

Probably--Arnold has said on multiple occasions he is a fan of Monte 2s.

I think in Wall St Gordon Gecko was smoking a Davidoff and in the sequel he lit up a CGR or a Cohiba EL of some sort.  

In the first Wall Street movie Bud Fox (Charlie Sheen) gives Gecko a box of what I think he said were Davidoffs but I'm not sure. Have to re-watch that one.

In the 2010 Wall Street movie Gecko is seen smoking what appears to be a Cohiba EL. This cigar is either an 04 Cohiba Sublimes or a 03 Cohiba DC, as this movie was filmed in 2009 and the 1966 wasn't yet released. The RG doesn't look that big, but it does look bigger than the 49 for the DC, so I'd go with it being a Sublimes. Not easy to get, even in 09, and would have been very pricey. A box of 25 sold for $3,310 in 2013, so they were probably already north of $2,000 by 2009, or about $80/stick.

I'm betting the stick came from Michael Douglas' personal collection and he sent the producers the bill for the entire box. ;)

Patton. Looks like George C Scott is smoking a H Upman Monarch or Sir Winston a few times.

In Wall Street, Bud brings a box of Cuban Davidoff to GG.  The box however was not a Cuban Davidoff box as far as i can tell.  Will have to watch it again as well.

Right, he says Davidoffs but the box looks unlike any packaging Davidoff ever used. More like a NC box.

Charlie Wilson's War, (true story movie), Belly Dancer part (great part I might add) appears to be smoking Monte No. 2's.

Also, great line in movie where Charlie's Press Secretary tells him the Washington Times is asking "if he's ever been to rehab"? She tells the Times, "he won't go to rehab because they won't serve whiskey there."  LoL

Paul Walker (RIP, a great guy) the movie Into the Blue, toward the first half of the movie smoking Cohiba's of some kind.

I like one of the opening scenes in King Kong (original) where there is a box of cigars on the table. The branding is covered. I can only imagine that it is Cuban.

I also have tried to identify the box served from by the butler in Goldfinger. Looks like Bolivar cigars.
