 I have never smoked a cigar, and just the taste of it in my mouth made me gag. But it made for an interesting photo, so that's cool :)

The lighting for this is kind of a mistake. I had a moonlight with a soft box feathered towards my face. I had another moonlight with barn doors to give hard light on the other side of the face. One of my shots, the barn door light didn't fire. I liked that lighting, so I turned it off, and got this photo a few later. I knew it's the one I would use as I got it in focus and the facial expression I was looking for.

Good job of working it till you got it to look the way you wanted. The lighting brings your expression to the front center of the image.
Yes, the cigar was a cool looking touch and goes well with the expression.
