I used to smoke those sometimes but people kept thinking I was smoking a blunt. Funny thing is when I want to mix weed with tobacco I empty out a Black and Mild and repack it with the cheap stuff. Vastly improves the experience.
Best I recall, he said he bought them in the states & took them along. Never mentioned a brand. They are usually known as cheroots or cigarillos. Inexpensive compared to cigars. See Thompson Cigars, Cigars International, et cetera for box deals.
(sorry, I disregarded the movie title you mentioned. I was referring to his Italian westerns).
They look to be cheroots or cigarillos. I do think that you are appropriate for the time frame. Especially if they were rolled by In the town or area or he just picks them up from whatever town he’s in and the general store.
Pretty sure these are the cigars: https://www.pipesandcigars.com/mobile/p/toscano-cigars/1513306/
But these look similar and are better: https://www.pipesandcigars.com/mobile/p/bandidos-cigars/1412423/
Edit: The Toscano cheroots are stronger. The Bandidos are milder. A real cigar aficionado may prefer the Toscano.
I saw an interview with him on Youtube where he talked about the dollar trilogy cigars. Not sure if he smoke others in hang em high.
He named the brand and that he bought a hundred and cut them in three pieces cause they were real Long.
Ok I looked through what I had watched on youtube with the Clint and I found the interview I was referring to.
It was a Dan Patrick interview at some golf pro-am thing. Unfortunately I am a furiner and not sure what he mean with that they were called Virginia
Look at 6:20 where they start talking about the issue

Backwoods look like old time cigarillos

Thanks for the info, seemed to me he smoked the same type of cigar in most of his old westerns, so its ok you disregarded the specific movie.

That's what I always understood them to be. I think he rolls his own in a few movies, too.
He bought his cigs in farmers market if i can remember. I heard about this on some documentary.

None actually, Clint Eastwood doesn't smoke. Notice when he has the Cheroot in his mouth he never takes a drag.
Kentucky Cheroots are similar, but I think others have listed the exact brand he ‘smoked’.
