Unofficial Tex Murphy

I just watched an old NCIS episode (2005) and a woman at the end of the show offers Agent Gibbs a cigarette. Guess what brand? Llama, Is there really a brand by that name?

Nah....very cool though. Maybe someone in one of the departments was a Tex fan. I remember the "Morley's" from Xfiles as a fake brand as well.

Speaking of Llamas...I wonder if I can smoke these?

I'd walk a kilometer....for some of those.

HAHA! Just kidding, good stuff!

Yeah seems like its a less common "Morley" which is derived from Marlboro cigarettes, "Marleys". And seems to of been used in various TV shows/films and games:

Llama is apparently based loosely on a real brand and slogan for Camel cigarettes (this tidbit may of already been posted). It was used in a film called "The Shadow" and also in NCIS. Though as its an uncommon one a Wiki states they presumably werent inspired by each other. Likewise I guess the Tex Murphy crew also possibly just came up with it in the same way.

A pack of Llama Cigarettes used in the 1994 film "The Shadow". Most probably a backup for the scene where Dr. Reinhardt Lane (Ian McKellen) is hypnotized by Shiwan Khan using the gigantic billboard. (SW)

From the trivia section at IMDB:

The billboard of the 'Smoking man' is a parody of a real one that actually blew 'smoke' rings...the original was for 'Camel' cigarettes, whose motto was "I'd walk a mile for a 'Camel'!"; the 'Llama' cigarette motto parodies this with "I'd climb a mountain for a 'Llama'!"

Isn't that the same thing?

Sai! I completely forgot Llama was in The Shadow. Strange movie, that was.

I have a 'flat pack' pic of the design for the Llama cigarettes on my computer - no idea how to upload it here, but if anyone wants to make their own pack, I think it would just be a case of printing and cutting it to size.

Not sure which Llama snacks are my favourites - I've only tried the cheese and thai ones so far (Jen I found the cheese ones!)

Mac hooked me up with the cheesy goodness. I haven't opened them yet though. Still working on the BBQ!

Glad Mac was able to ship some over as well

I found this link as well, though it is a bit off the wall.
