I have heard people use toothpicks for cigars, so you may need a tiny finishing nail or a brad to get the right diameter.

For my Loser's Clay custom, I used a cut-off push pin (think sewing pin) - drilled a small hole in the lip, dot of glue, and some paint -

I usually keep all styrene sprues from any model ships or accessories (miniatures and such) which make good cigarettes as they are sometimes cylindrical. I used one on my John Constantine custom (based on the comic of my time.

that's pretty much what I was thinking. it seems like about the only thing small enough to look right and strong enough to not break.

For actual smoke just take a little bit of cotton from a cotton ball and stretch it out to look like whisps of smoke.

i'll try that mysterious stranger!

i just finished painting my cig. i didn't have a small enough drill so i simplt put the pointy end of a" push pin?" where i wanted the cig and applied a lot of pressure with my coffee table. i got it in there enough to know it won't just fall out , over 1/4" probably. i was actually worried it would poke out the other side and hamper neck installation.

i don't want to take pics until everything is 100% dry, but i will update tomorrow .

thanks again for all the responses!
