Terrorists and Freedom Fighters / Che Guevara Smoking a Cigar

Artist Max Emadi

Che Guevara smokes what is no doubt nothing less than a "CUBAN cigar" in this swarthy Carry Grant-like portrait by Max Emadi.  Legendary Latin American freedom fighter, Che Guevara (Ernesto Guevara de la Serna) was politicized by his contact with the poor and dispossessed as he toured through Latin America on a motorcycle as a youth.  (See the movie Motor Cycle Diaries starring Gael Garcia Bernal).  Ultimately Che ended up as one of Fidel Castro's cohorts, helping Castro seize power in Cuba in 1959.
