Corrected entry: In the scene where Landa and Shosanna meet in the café, we see Landa light his cigarette. In the next shot of him, a mere five seconds later, it appears to have burnt down by almost an inch - much further than one might expect. (01:00:00)

Correction: A lot of the cigarettes during WWII were not tobacco cigarettes, as tobacco was hard to come by. Even name brand cigarettes often used fillers. Because of this, a lot of the cigarettes burned a lot faster than we might expect, especially if the smoker drew hard on the cigarette trying to get nicotine from the little tobacco that was in them.
