What is the deal with that cigarette that Dr. Axton smoked in part one? It had this insignia on it.

    To Clarify --
    any mention of CM, or of BO --
    is disgusting .

    Actually I love to read, and the books are always better. But at this point, I will wait until after part II because I want to be surprised. Don't tell me what happens. :) Yeah, they didn't elaborate on the cigarette at all in the movie.

    If you do not want to read it, get it on audiobook and listen to it while you drive.

    While the movie is good, you are missing a ton by not reading the book.

    The smokes with the $ is a good example. It is her first clue and represents much more than a pack a smokes, but that was all lost in the first movie. Read the book, or listen to it on audiobook.

    It had a gold dollar sign on it. They turned up in several different places in the book. She gave a butt to the old news stand operator in the Taggart building because he collected cigarettes and also sold them at his stand. I don't think they ever mentioned his name though...

    It was made in the Gulch. In the book, Dagny gives it to a man (whose name i don't remember) who is an expert on Cigarettes and he determines that it is not made from any of the remaining Cigarette manufacturers.

    It means the same thing that shoots the joy up your spine when you see a "Who is John Galt" bumper sticker, or a grocery worker wearing Rearden metal on their wrists. It means you're with friends.
