Bogie's Cigs

[Bogie1943]

Hello friends,

It has been a very long time since I have posted. Anyway, as you can tell and some of you know I am a huge fan of Humphrey Bogart. I was wondering if anyone here knew Bogie's preferred brand of cigarettes?

 

[JazzBaby]

Chesterfields, I believe it was. I think Lauren Bacall mentioned it somewhere in her autobiography.

 

[Bogie1943]

I think you are on to something. I do remember one film where the two of them were smoking Chesterfields. I thought it was either what they liked or it was product placement.

I'm sure I read Chesterfields in her auto bio as well.


To learn how to smoke, study Bogart!

I have to say Bogie made smoking as cool as it could possibly get.

 

[JazzBaby]

Bacall made it look quite cool too. For the ladies. What a pair!

 

[Mr. Rover]

It's Chesterfields...I think I read that on IMDB or Wikipedia.

They got him in the end. Throat cancer at 57.

We all gotta go sometime.

We all gotta go sometime.

That's what I was gonna say!

 

[Girl Friday]

That's what I was gonna say!

If I were to try to quit smoking, I couldn't watch Casablanca and I'm not ready to give that up.

I wonder what the ciggy budget was for that movie, or were they supplied free?

 

[Girl Friday]

I'm with you there!

Ditto!

I enjoy tobacco here and there as well, but I can never bring myself to smoke cigarettes. I'd much rather have a decent cigar or share a hookah with my friends.

 

[Baggers]

Do they still make Chesterfields?

Cheers!

 

[MudInYerEye]

As someone once said long ago, "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything."
Cheers!

That would be Thumper's mother.

 

[Jay]

Of course they still make Chesterfields!

 

[scotrace]

Of course they still make Chesterfields!

Then where do they hide?

 

[BellyTank]

With the non-filter Luckies.

Sharing a Hookah with friends- is that a Boston accent..?


I always remember Bogie in the Bird film, rolling up flake from a pouch...

I've pruned this thread. Let's not talk about smokers vs nonsmokers as this has been well-covered elsewhere here.
