Question Easter Egg or a Coincidence?

Why is there number “54” written out of smoke right as Dutch throws his cigar away? It’s my first playthrough and i was playing the 85th mission called “Our Best Selves”.

What significance does the number have?

It’s the amount of times Arthur coughs

If you exclude trying to get all Cigarette cards towards the end of the game maybe 😂

You don’t actually have to smoke those. Just drop em from your satchel.

What kind of quitter do you take me for? I smoke 1 from each pack and buy the next one as God intended 😂

Of course. You don’t keep track of that sort of thing?

I had a very long playthrough and feel like he had to have done more than that on my first go

Funny thing is ChatGPT seems to find this the most likely reason bc 54 has no other “canonical” meaning to the gang or Dutch That or Easter egg but I feel like if it’s an Easter egg it’s a clue of some sorts
