Don't forget Clint...

Oh god, what were those things he was smoking? Were they Parodi cigars? My dad smokes them and they look one helluva lot like the ones Clint smoked in the Spagehetti westerns.

I can't think of too many women smoking cigars in films or TV shows, but I do remember an old Seinfeld episode where Elaine was smoking a large cigar. I also have vague memories of other women smoking cigars in movies, like one of the Bond girls in Golden Eye. Hopefully, we start seeing more cigar-smoking ladies in movies. It might reduce the number of snide looks I get when I smoke one..lol.

James Leavey: Clint Eastwood smoked cigars in the Leone spaghetti westerns

Sir Christopher Frayling: Yeah. Theres a great debate as to what kind of cigars they were. The Italians claim that they were a cigar called Toscano, or Toscani in the plural, which are these rather evil southern Italian cigars of very closely packed tobacco, very dark. I had a go at them. Wow, theyre strong stuff. If you notice in the movies, Eastwood is constantly lighting his cheroot and it keeps going out, I think deliberately, cos he didnt want to actually smoke, he disliked smoking a lot. But Toscani do that as well, you keep trying to get them going and they keep going out. What people in Italy do is cut them in half with a pair of scissors or a razor blade, and then try and draw on them and it works a bit better. Some people claim they were actually American cheroots, but I like the Italian version actually.
