This is Alejandro.
Would all the cigarette and tobacco-based props really be necessary since they're pretty much eliminated save for Major Metcalf's pipe and I'm assuming the cigars are as well?

In any case, I shall see what I can do with props and I'll let you know if I find anything that could be used.
