What type of cigar does Clint Eastwood smoke in the old cowboy movies he made like a fistful of dollars and the good the bad and the ugly?

Clint Eastwood said in a recent interview that he brought the cigars from the US & they were called "Virginians" & described them as a strong smoke that put him in a foul mood. He liked them cause the were long & skinny & he would chop them into thirds to fit in his pocket.

Traditional Toscani dry cured cigars (in the vein of DeNobili's) were my guess for a long time due to it being shot in Italy, but alas, this is not the case.

It has long been speculated that what he was smoking was the nub of a Marsh Wheeling cigar ( http://www.broadleafcigars.com/wheeling.htm ) which is probably the most period accurate smoke that you can still buy. They are a 7" x 34 ring smoke & can be considered hearty in comparison to other smokes of it's ilk.

I believe that Clint's "Virginian" brand smoke was any one of the million different Marsh Wheeling style knock off brands that was available in the 1960's. I can't find a google reference for it, so I am sure the brand is long dead & gone, but Wheeling's still exist if you want the experience.

What kind of hat does Clint Eastwood wear in Unforgiven?

The majority of Eastwood's iconic costume from the Dollars Trilogy was bought second hand, so finding any sort of "brand" is more or less impossible. The hat's distinguishing features are its high telescope crown and slightly curled, bound brim. Also central to the hat's look was its leather band. Reproductions of these items can be purchased from various hat makers online, but will set you back a bit. the cheapest one I've found still runs over 100 dollars, with most costing around $200-$400.

What kind of cigarettes does Clint Eastwood smoke in the movie Gran Torino?

Clint Eastwood did not smoke in the Dirty Harry movie. Clint Eastwood is well-known for smoking Toscano cigars in his Westerns (A Fistful Of Dollars, Joe Kidd, The Good The Bad And The Ugly, etc)

Clint Eastwood was smoking Toscano cigars in the Spaghetti Westerns directed by Sergio Leone. Expertly and insightfully handmade in Italy, Toscano is a tough cigar for tough people. This cigar has roots that trace all the way back to 1818 when it was first introduced in Lucca, in the Tuscany region of Italy. It is made using fire-cured Kentucky tobacco and has an elliptical shape (thicker midsection with slimmer ends).

Toscano cigars are still made in Italy using the same techniques which are passed down from almost 200 years ago. If you reside/live in the US, you can purchase them at ItalianSmokes' website.

ItalianSmokes is the sole authorized importer and distributor of Toscano cigars in the USA. There are counterfeit (i.e. fake) and contraband Toscano cigars which are heavily discounted, so be careful where you buy them from.

What type of gun the did Clint eastwood use in dirty harry?

The gun depicted in the film was a Smith & Wesson Model 29 .44 Magnum, which was in fact the exact same gun that was used for filming. However, there have been rumors that the nearly identical Model's 25 or 57 were used instead, due to lack of availability of the Model 29 itself and that of blank shots (which would have had to have been fabricated by the producers especialy for the 29.) In light of these rumors, it has been backed by several of the film's producers, including its co-writer, that the truly was "the most powerful handgun in the world," the S&W model 29 .44 Magnum. A side note, the handgun has since been surpassed by several later firearms as "the most powerful handgun in the world." Not to say that it couldn't do to one's self what Eastwood famously stated it could.

Yes, Walt Kowalski (Clint Eastwood) is tired of the gangs that have taken over his neighborhood. At the end of the movie he looks like he is about to confront the gang at their house. He is greeted with 5-7 guns being pointed at him. He looks like he would pull out a gun himself which made the gang shoot him several times.
