Dance in the Dark (2011)
“Johnnie nodded yes, as Walsh claimed his winnings and Micah gathered up the cards to shuffle them.
Across the table, Nelson pulled out a small cedar box, extracted a cigar, and passed the box around the table. Johnnie took one, amused.

Once his own was properly lit and sampled, Johnnie asked, "So did you pay full price for these?" Nelson snorted his own amusement. "I paid for them..., but that's about all I'll say." "I see," Johnnie said, smirking. He thanked Peyton, who had arrived with his drink. "Deal the cards, Micah." "As you command," Micah said cheerfully, but his hand froze in the process of tossing Johnnie his third card, eyes on the door, where everyone else's had gone.
