The One

Yesterday, we explained how Cigar Guy, the turbaned, mustachioed cigar-smoking man standing behind Tiger Woods at the Ryder Cup, became a meme. Well, today, Cigar Guy has become even bigger, facebombing not just the Ryder Cup, but all kinds of historic sports events.

Cigar Guy's head has now been photoshopped over such sports greats as Larry Bird and Muhammad Ali, and into all kinds of iconic moments in professional sports. He's even replaced the entire USA hockey team. A bona fide internet trend is born!

Check out the various adventures of the now-famous man with the cigar after the jump.

UPDATE: Of course there's a Cigar Guy tumblr. And check out the Cigar Guy news we found after writing this post.

UPDATE 2: Cigar Guy has been identified as Rupesh Shingadia!

"A bona fide internet trend"??

Hardly; it's a bona fide viral marketing PR stunt. And you fell for it; or are a part of it.

The brand will soon come out.

Punked!
