Thanks have just enjoyed an episode watcing an episode on UK TV whilst smoking a cigar.

They might be cheap in the States but not in the UK.

Brian UK cigar smoking fan

Was this in a Columbo episode?
Columbo is walking around with an unlit cigar. One of the other cops offers him a light. He refuses, tells the cop he is trying to save money so he isn't smoking them, he just chews on them. The other cop says "why don't you just buy a cheaper cigar?" Columbo says "I don't want to lower my standard of living."

I know I saw that scene somehwhere. Was it Columbo?

TFL...that is from Any Old Port In A Storm...I just watched the dvd yesterday. It is when he is looking at Rick's car with the other officer.
