Silk Cut Cigarette Pack - Constantine (2014)
By The PropSmith
NBC's Constantine series has proven to be quite a creative booster for me. Pretty much every episode has at least one new kick ass prop and I've been having fun trying my hand at recreating some of them. My latest is a prop that I don't think we've gotten a great look at on the show just yet, but some teaser images from the Twitter account of the production designer have shown the great Silk Cut-inspired design of the cigarettes that John Constantine most definitely smokes on the show.

See that lighter in the picture? I'm totally going to have one of those. Soon. So, of course, I need a pack of cigarettes to go with it. Luckily, I was able to acquire some excellent high-res concept art which showed me what all six sides look like and allowed me to recreate all the art with 100% accuracy. I added the cardboard insert that most cigarette packs have, even though it's not on the prop, because it made it more accurate to a real cigarette pack. This is the only prop in my collection that I have multiples of on display because what smoker only has one pack of cigarettes? So I've got three on display.
