Cigarette cards are one of the many collectible items in Red Dead Redemption 2 and with 144 of them to collect, players will be spending a lot of time exploring the Wild West. Cigarette cards can be found in set locations around the map, though players can also earn a random card from a packet of premium cigarettes.
Players can begin collecting cigarette cards straight away in Red Dead Redemption 2, though all of them will only be available after beginning the side quest, Smoking and Other Hobbies. This questline can be started by visiting Flatneck Station in New Hanover and speaking with the stranger (Phineas T. Ramsbottom) on the bench.
A reward will be given for every complete set of cigarette cards mailed to Phineas T. Ramsbottom with a prize given for the first set complete and for all sets complete.

The cigarette cards can be found over the entire map in Red Dead Redemption 2, even down in Blackwater and beyond, so progressing through the campaign is essential. As mentioned above, random cigarette cards can be found in packs of premium cigarettes, so buy up packets and open up any packets found in the wild to cut down on the amount of travelling required. With 144 cards to collect, showing them all on one page would be too hard to keep track of when trying to find them, so the cards have been broken up into complete sets below:
