Jazz & Faust Hints

Where can I get a cigar for Hank?

  • 1 of 10: Don't bother until he has some information that you want.
  • 2 of 10: There are cigars in the bar --
  • 3 of 10: -- but the bartender won't let you have any. You set the bar on fire last time you smoked in here.
  • 4 of 10: You need a way to get the bartender out of the way.
  • 5 of 10: Are there two seedy-looking characters arm-wrestling here?
  • 6 of 10: They look pretty rowdy. Maybe you can lead them into some antisocial behavior.
  • 7 of 10: They're obviously very competitive; it wouldn't take much to tip this friendly contest into a battle.
  • 8 of 10: Show the bartender the bottle you found by the crime scene ...
  • 9 of 10: ... then walk over and as-if casually push over the mug of wine on the arm-wrestlers' table.
  • 10 of 10: As soon as the bartender leaves to get the police, just saunter over and grab some cigars from the red box on the bar.
