So Sgt. [[Awesome McCoolname|McKickass]] has [[Cigar Chomper|a cigar in his mouth]], and brings a stick of dynamite; lighting the fuse off his cigar. A puff of smoke from his mouth, a sly grin, and he's off walking forward, tossing the dynamite behind him. This may be a [[Discredited Trope]], at least in modern settings. Usually includes McKickass preforming an [[Unflinching Walk]].
Can also be done with a cigarette or (conceivably) a pipe, but cigars just look cooler.
Not to be confused with [[Explosive Cigar]]. [[Couldn't Find a Lighter]] is the inverse.
