Do skill check re-rolls include dice gained from spending clue tokens?

# Do skill check re-rolls include dice gained from spending clue tokens?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2016-06-16)

If I have 2 rolls for my skill check, and I fail the roll, then I spend a clue token to roll, and I fail. I then spend a second clue and again fail.

If I now use the Lucky Cigarette Case which says:

> Discard Lucky Cigarette Case to re-roll any one skill check.

Do I roll the original 2 dice only, or have I increased my re-roll pool to 4 dice (by including the additional dice from spending 2 clues)?

Reroll all 4 dice.

It's important to do things in the right order though. Using the cigarette case and then clues results in fewer total rolls.
