So as of now we know the smokes were the indicator of the target and he did something in the past to have a hitman sent after him, i just cant figure out what the smokes have to do with it yet.... or what kind of person would have a unique brand of smokes that someone would know who he is jsut by getting them from him

this one is weird
who the hell has special smokes

my 2nd theory(long time ago) was that he was going to give the black man a pic of his wife or gf, which would end up being the black man's wife or gf lol, so he shot him
but that failed

Not quite but that would be a solution too. Mr. Gray smokes that kind all the time (why the man in black could expect him to have them), he doesn't have to go anywhere special, it's just an unusual variety.
Yeah, well, you know, that's just like, your opinion man

Seems like the boss (who hired black man) either found these particular smokes on his wife ... or smelled it on her. And he had an idea who she was having an affair with (*this part is kind of weird to me ... how would he have an idea of a suspect?). So he hires a guy to kill the suspect if he has these particular smokes. Which he does. So he confirmed he had an affair with the boss' wife.

If it helps ... I think the story could be changed to a cologne which the boss (who hired the black guy) smelled on his wife one night. The slightly weird thing is how did the boss have even a hint of an idea who to tell the hit-man to kill.

I got it i think, so mr black employer found the specials smokes in his house, so he started to suspect his wife was having an affair, he narrowed it down to mr gray but he didnt knew what gray smoked, so he hired black to find mr gray and ask him a smoke, if it was the same kind mr black employer found on his house mr black would kill him?

Yes, basically that's the answer. The husband found that brand of (French, thus foreign) cigarette in his ash tray and he had a bunch of possible suspects for the affair. So the hitman asked each suspect for a cigarette to figure out which of them smoked those to determine which one it was.

The story:
+ Show Spoiler +
It was a contract hit, and the hit man was the man in black. He was hired by a jealous husband who wanted his wife's lover identified and executed.

The husband had arrived home from a business trip unexpectedly, to discover that his wild wife had been partying at their house the night before. It didn't take a genius to deduce that someone had been in their bedroom with her: there were two telltale champagne glasses on her bedside table, and several French cigarettes in an ashtray. His wife didn't smoke.

The husband's loyal butler had supplied the names of the all ten men who had attended the soiree. The husband had only to discover which of them smoked the damnifying cigs.

The hit man had tracked down nine of the suspects. All were either non-smokers or cigar smokers. He had sat beside number ten on the train, asked him for a cigarette, and gotten just what he had expected--a French smoke that matched those in his wife's ashtray. The man in gray got what was coming to him--no if's ands or butts!

Yeah, well, you know, that's just like, your opinion man

I'm going to take a break I think, answering these questions takes a bit of effort. If anyone else wants to play game master, I'll send them a case and the story and let them try it.

OK. Anyone else want to? Otherwise I'll start another one tomorrow or in the near future. I think it works either way, if you answer questions quickly, or if you have time in between asking, let people have time to think. You guys have the same impression?

Wow. I wasn't anywhere close to the correct solution. I think I need to think more inside the box. Seems simple looking at it now. Fun though.
They call me Mr. 30 APM.

OK I changed my mind, just posting the mystery, still PM me if you want to be the answerer. I'm not going to answer anything quickly/at all 'til tomorrow.


Postage Due

P.J. Etherton's one-of-a-kind postage stamp was being auctioned in his library. The stamp was first inspected by the world's foremost expert, and then passed around to all of the bidders. When the price soared to a million dollars, one of the bidders, Brutus B, asked to inspect it again. Looking through a magnifying glass, he announced, "This isn't the 1867 Z grill. It's an F grill--almost identical, but worth only a hundred bucks!"

The expert agreed. "This isn't the stamp I inspected. A switch has been made!"

Immediately, the security guard left the room and called the police. Everyone was frisked and the room searched thoroughly, but the prized stamp was nowhere to be found. The puzzling crime made headlines!

"I know Brutus stole it," P.J. Etherton growled. "He's a known thief and forger. A collector will pay a pretty price for it, even if he can never show it off in public."

What happened to the stamp? What is the perpetrator's plan?
Yeah, well, you know, that's just like, your opinion man
