Are you referring to Karuppu Sami, the black-skinned God worshipped in Tamil Nadu?

I took this picture of Karuppu Sami at a Muniswarar temple in Ampang, Malaysia. People offer him beer, and as part of the puja, the pujari lit a cigar and placed it in his mouth.
Karuppu means "black" in Tamil.
For more information on Karuppu Sami, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karuppu_Sami
