On Dutch Master Cigars

Last night I watched an Indian movie that remade Man on Fire, which I've never seen. But I liked this version a lot although there were a lot of details they glossed over which made it less credible. Still the basic story was powerful. One thing is that the main villain behind the kidnapping is shown only very close up talking on the phone smoking a cigar. I don't know if he smoked Dutch Master cigars or not, but that was the detail to characterize him. At the end, when we finally see him full up, he's killed almost right away and then the hero fights the real bad guy, his former friend. So we never really get a feeling for the main kidnapper or even figure out his relationship with the former friend.
