"Cigar Guy" in "Unconditional Surrender"?

The "Cigar Guy" could be appearing in Unconditional Surrender

There is an irony here. "Cigar Guy" became the rage because he was so distinctive and perhaps "out of place" in the photograph at the Ryder Cup. However, "Cigar Guy" was dressed to emulate Miguel Angel Jimenez. In trying to copy, he became "novel."
Seward Johnson, the author of "Unconditional Surrender" and "Copyright Violation," has not been as fortunate.

[Cigar Guy is Rupesh Shingadia.]
