QUALITY (FAUX) STOGIES

Detective Ed Miller’s humidor in the NOIR escape room.

When you play our 1930s murder-mystery escape room, NOIR, one of the props you will encounter is this humidor filled with some of the finest cigars the era had to offer.

One of the brands, however, is a commonly seen fake brand - Morley.

Seen in countless tv shows (X-Files, FRIENDS, Seinfeld) and movies for a generation, Morley’s were first introduced by Alfred Hitchcock at the end of his thriller “Psycho,” and, like so many things the director did, Hollywood has followed suit ever since.

Side note: we desperately want to refer to “faux stogies” as “faugies.”

Amidst actual fine cigar brands Upmann and Consegua, is our homage to the Hollywood cigarette brand Morley (far left).
