 * Stogie - with a pyramid on the cover. Described as Coughing Nails in the inventory. The only brand available to the player.
 * Big Top - with a circus tent on the cover, advertised as "The Greatest Smoke on Earth"

Game item
The cigarettes are mostly a flavor item. Using them hurts the player for 10 hit points (deducted from torso health). Using cigarettes also creates a small smoke cloud in front of the player, which creative players can use to their advantage in certain situations (e.g. having an enemy walk into it).
