Any which way...there are so many other things she should do BEFORE deciding to smoke.

I saw you just offered more advice on that matter elsewhere!
I did wonder if Stoo referred to that prop. I think it's a leap to relate it directly to Abner, but it's a nice thought and I mean that genuinely. But in case it wasn't the cigar box from The Raven bar, I got a bit excited there might have been something else. I think it would have been great for us to meet Abner, but I believe he did perish in that avalanche.

Great bump/location!
Maybe a couple steps, not necessarily a leap.
Cigar Sizes
Cigars come in many different shapes and sizes. The diameter of a cigar is measured in increments of 64ths on an inch which is termed its "ring gauge." Therefore a 44 gauge Corona is 44/64th inches in diameter. The change in your pocket (assuming you are in the United States) can be used as quick and dirty ring gauges.
44 Ring Gauge
46 Ring Gauge
48 Ring Gauge
54 Ring Gauge
Size, Length, Ring
Belicoso, 5 1/2 inches, 52
Churchill, 7 inches, 47
Corona, 5 1/2 inches, 52
Corona Gorda, 5 1/4 inches, 46
Culberas, 5 3/4 inches, 39
Demi Tasse, 4 inches, 30
Double Corona, 7 1/2 inches, 49
Especial, 7 1/2 inches, 38
Gran Corona, 9 1/4 inches, 47
Hermoso, 5 inches, 48
Long Panetela, 7 inches, 36
Lonsdale, 6 1/2 inches, 42
Panetala, 4 1/2 inches, 26
Perla, 4 inches, 40
Petit Corona, 5 inches, 42
Pyramid/Torpedo, 6 1/2 inches, 52
Robusto, 5 inches, 50
Rothschild, 5 inches, 50
Tres Petit Corona, 4 1/2 inches, 40
Quick note:Kasdan said in an interview before Temple that Abner may not be dead...

I love the smell of a cigar or a pipe (at a distance) but I don't smoke. My dad was Dutch and occasionally he smoked Wee Willem "cigartjes". "cigartjes" is, I think, slang for 'little cigars'.
That quick note that Abner might not be dead is very exciting. It makes me wish that Abner figured at least in CS (while reducing some of the other characters' appearances), or in a movie in between LC and CS. Alas, he would have found his Punch cigars got burned up with everything else due to Indiana's appearance had he returned to what was left of The Raven. I can see his face now (Wilford Brimley comes to mind) and hear him express his exasperation and intuition: "Jones!" Who knows?....

Hmmm, I'm not saying these aren't PUNCH cigars just yet...but they are different boxes.

Macanudo is extremely similar...

Hmm...here's the prop on display at the National Geographic Exhibit. Judging from Jorbex's screengrab they are similar but NOT the same!
The original prop might have went up in smoke during the filming of the fire sequence of The Raven and the item in the exhibit could be a replacement. Indeed, the boxes are different.
Rocket, this is obviously tied to one of your recent IndyCast questions. I must say that the LOGO for Macanudo is practically identical! What's the deal with that?

Enjoyed a well deserved cigar and a few beers Sunday, the October snow we received knocked out our power for a week, (second time this year).
Took it as an opportunity to look through the local cigarbar/warehouse and one of the older employees intimated it may be an indication that its Cuban. In any event I grabbed this for my own Indy collection and it'll just have to do until we figure out what the hell is really going on...

On the site Cigar Box Nation, the following question was posed and answered:
That cigarworld page has links to the history of each brand of cigar, including when they were first made.
