Non sequitur (logic): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non_sequitur_%28logic%29The concern here is that someone has airbrushed his cigar out. It's a fact of history that he smoked cigars.
Stalin and his regime were famous for airbrushing out history to suit their politics.

It also does a complete disservice to who the man really was. A human being with human frailties.
