Craven A Cigarette?

Actor Richard Masur was once quoted as saying a cigarette is the single most expressive tool an actor can employ.

Even as a non-smoker, it's difficult to disagree.

So what are these glamorous looking people saying with the hold of their Craven A cigarette?

Candidate 1: "Now enough about you, let's talk about me."

Candidate 2: "Yes, JB, No JB. Sell JB? JB says buy, buy but no higher than four and a quarter."

Candidate 3: "And you just won't believe what he said after that, and then I said...."

Candidate 4: "Monte, Monte Carlo is the only place to be in the spring."

Candidate 5: "I can keep this rigid smile for hours and hours."


And then there's a lot of stuff about how Craven A soothes the throat.

Apparently.

Although it's difficult to see how with all that smoke in the air which seems to get thicker if you've been deep etched into the shot.
