Day of the Tentacle Hints
How can I get a cigar from the novelty salesman?
1 of 5: No matter what you do, he'll light the cigar for you.
2 of 5: At least for as long as he has that gun lighter.
3 of 5: Have you seen any other guns that you could switch with the lighter?
4 of 5: The depressed salesman has one in his room. If you need help getting him to open the door, see another question in this section.
5 of 5: Then just switch the flag gun with the lighter gun and ask for a cigar.
