Re: The Cigarette Butt
We could just tape off a cigarette with fine masking tape and spray on a gold ring.

Re: The Cigarette Butt
Sad to report checked all the local stores and newsagents this morning and no one here stocks them. My guess they're for the European mainland markets and probably only available on import online or through duty free outlets at airports and ports. Makes me wonder why would they go to all that trouble for one cigarette butt that hardly gets shown. It crossed my mind to check through Suzie's butts and sequence to see if she's been smoking them and the source. Strange though. Shame too, I was looking forward to getting my mitts on them. No sign of the Monte Carlo's either.

Re: The Cigarette Butt
There must be another brand with that gold band on them. I’ll bet we discover it in short order.

Re: The Cigarette Butt
Just had a look through Suzie's set photos and there's one thing missing, no cigarette packets. Considering how much she smokes she should have a few sticks lying around.

Re: The Cigarette Butt
My brother is a heavy smoker, and he never leaves packs sitting out. He leaves butts everywhere, but no packs. They are always in his pocket.
I think most smokers unconsciously consider unused cigarettes as too cherished a commodity to leave lying about.

Re: The Cigarette Butt
True, it's their precious, their stash to be hidden away from other smokers and sticky fingers. My chain-smoking ex father in law used to keep his sticks in the fridge. But Suzie hasn't one empty packet anywhere not even a torn off shrink wrap. Then again what do I know, I'm not a smoker so I'm totally clueless to the hobby's ins and outs.

Re: The Cigarette Butt
After analyzing the Suzie Kang photos, I realized that she keeps her cigarettes in a gold case. That is why she does not seem to have any packs.
Look at the bottom of the sixth photo in this set.

Re: The Cigarette Butt
Noted that too, but still. Seems like a pointless task on her part, she smokes them faster than she can fill it. She doesn't seem to make the same effort with her lighters, matches and ashtrays, just seems a little odd contradictory in character. I'd expect to see at least one half opened stick and packet, plus the remains of empties either across the desk or in a nearby waste paper basket. Talking of which was there one in the Motel room, where would Eddie put his trash?
