I approached this as if someone gave me that tiki and said give it a hot rod makeover. This is what I would do, hope some of it helps. Carve the teeth around the cigar a little more, so it looks like he is biting it, not just he has a hole drilled in between his teeth. Hard to explain but curve them around the cigar. Fill in the end of the cigar and paint all of the end red. When was the last time you saw a cigar with a hollow end? Maybe try sponging on 2 different shades of red to give it a "burning" texture. 8 Balls for pupils! Tatts! Paint or carve into arms. Even just some simple flames would suffice. Mate, very cool tiki though! I love it, Im sure he will :)
