* ''VideoGame/{{Skullgirls}}'': 'Toon fighter Peacock does this with her level 3 NoHoldsBarredBeatdown super attack: She wraps her enemy in a burlap sack and calls on a group of her personal Mook army to help her smash the living daylights out of the opponent. She then walks away, puffing on a cigar as a CartoonBomb crony continues to beat the sack with a baseball bat. She then invokes this trope by casually tossing the cigar over her shoulder, detonating the bomb underling. Pretty much CrazyAwesome.

* In ''VideoGame/GameAndWatch: Mario's Bombs Away'', this can happen by mistake to the bomb Mario's holding thanks to [[LethallyStupid a careless fellow troop]] if he doesn't watch out.

* Referenced in ''{{Concerned}}'' when Gordan Frohman meets his fellow rebels ([[LampshadeHanging who all introduce themselves by their character archetypes]]). [[http://hlcomic.com/index.php?date=2006-06-12 One of them claims to be a demolitions expert who'll do exactly this.]]

* Parodied in an old comic called ''{{Crock}}'': We see this guy lighting a bomb with his cigar and throwing something in the next panel. Then, there's an explosion and the following dialogue ensues:

* The cannon crabs in ''AliceMadnessReturns'' all do this.

* Sheriff Lonestar from ''VideoGame/{{Awesomenauts}}''. Lonestar is a great fan of shooting things, but sometimes bullets just won�t cut it. So to make sure it stays down, Lonestar will chuck cigar-lit sticks of dynamite at his foes!

* [[BadAss Comrade]] [[TheGunslinger Sukhov]] in ''Film/WhiteSunOfTheDesert'' does the inverted version: He lights his cigarette off a dynamite fuse.

* ''Film/TheMagnificentSeven2016'': Farraday does this with a stick of dynamite [[spoiler:just before he blows up the Gatling gun, and himself]].

Can also be done with a cigarette or (conceivably) a pipe, but cigars just look cooler.

* In the ''OnePiece'' anime, this is how the Whitebeard Pirates' 15th division commander Fossa [[FlamingSword ignites his sword]].

* Western-themed ''VideoGame/HalfLife2'' GameMod ''Fistful of Frags'' also uses this for when the player is throwing dynamite around. Despite none of the character models being seen with a cigar at any other time.

So Sgt. [[AwesomeMcCoolName McKickass]] has a cigar in his mouth, and brings up 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 DiscreditedTrope, at least in modern settings. Usually includes [=McKickass=] performing an UnflinchingWalk.

* A [[LooneyTunes Cool Cat]] cartoon had the title character confronted by Col. Rimfire and as a last request asks for a light for his cigarette. The Colonel obliges, not knowing that Cool Cat's cigarette is actually the fuse for a rocket he's planted against the Colonel's back.

* ''Film/DeadInTombstone'': Washington does this when the Blackwater Gang storms the prison at the start of the film, and Guerrero does as he is escaping from the mine on a wagon.

* ''The Looney Looney Looney BugsBunny Movie'' (1981). Sylvester the Cat hides Tweety under an empty can. When the mobster Rocky finds Tweety under the can, he lights a firecracker with his cigarette and places under the can for Sylvester to find ("Catty Cornered").

* [[Left4Dead Left 4 Dead's]] Bill can be seen doing this with a molotov cocktail in the trailer for The Sacrifice.

* ''VideoGame/{{Outlaws}}'': The player character can chuck dynamite around. Alt-fire lights the fuse, and the animation consists of the PC removing his stogie from his mouth and applying it to the fuse.

* [[BadAss Comrade]] [[TheGunslinger Sukhov]] in ''WhiteSunOfTheDesert'' does the inverted version: He lights his cigarette off a dynamite fuse.
* Creator/DanAykroyd does this in ''{{Coneheads}}'' when he lights the fuse to a tiny homemade firework, leading to a CrowningMomentOfAwesome.
* In ''TheWildBunch'', Pike uses his cigar to light the fuse on a stick of dynamite when threatening the general.
* In ''CowboysVersusAliens'', after one of the bandits drops all the matches off a cliff, he asks how he's going to light the dynamite. The answer is the lit cigarallo he's been smoking the whole scene.

* The hero in the {{Bollywood}} film ''Trishul'' lights the fuse to some dynamite using his cigarette.

* In ''TheThreeCaballeros'', Jose Carioca lights the fireworks on DonaldDuck's bull costume with his cigar.
