Che smokes a bowl

On this bong gift set I can tell the top picture is Che but I can't figure out (with tineye's and google's help) if the bottom man is smiling Che or someone else ... any ideas?

That there is a young Fidel Castro.

Response by poster: Have you seen that pic before of him? Even as a youngster Castro had a pretty fat face and chubby cheeks when he smiled. I couldn't find any picks of him with a widow's peak. Castro was my first too though...

Could that be an actor playing Castro? This pic shows a similar slight widow's peak, but I"m not sure the noses match.

They're both Che. See this photo, this one, etc.

Best answer: A google image search of "Che Guevara" turned up this blog post that has a picture of him that looks identical to the one on the gift set.

Response by poster: Yippee, thanks Shesthefastest! The bigger question of why Che is on a bong set I'll leave for another day
