The Matter with Cigarette Cases

The invention of cigarette cases was predictable. Smokers wanted a container that would prevent their prized sticks from crushing. Since its appearance in the Faberge Era, it has morphed into fun cases in the Roaring Twenties, but the bejeweled versions continue to fascinate collectors and smokers alike.

To each generation belonged cigarette cases that reflected the times. The first batch was designed to hold a few cigarettes then later more space was added after some complaints that there was too little space for a pack of cigarettes. These cases had the tinny look and bore the graffiti of the times and most cases had the embossed image of Hollywood icon Marlene Dietrich or the comic character Betty Boop.

Today's cigarette cases can accommodate your ID, driver's license and credit cards. Talk about convenience and stylish flair. Some cases imitate snake skin, are built in liquor flasks, and have taken on new colors. The classical renditions remain compact with their chrome and aluminum bodies and gold or silver highlights.

Why You Love Your Cigarette Case

You know that smoking does nothing good to your body. You have your smoker's cough, nicotine stained teeth, and tobacco breath. You've seen the warnings on the labels of your favorite cigarette brand and to get rid of your conscience you neatly lay your poison in a beautiful cigarette case.

If you have to smoke, then smoke in style to assuage that nagging voice at the back of your head. If you don't smoke, then collecting these items is a passion. Point to Danielle Steele who owns a chockfull of cigarette cases. She's got a collection worth every smoker's envy. But here are the reasons why you love your cigarette case and cannot do without it even if it is not in league with the pricey ones:

* It goes well with your dinner suit
* You can hide more than just cigarettes in the case
* Girls are impressed with the gold and the glitter
* It is a good icebreaker and you can start with Faberge's pieces
* You forget the Surgeon General's warning
* It's more dramatic to offer cigarette from a case
* You don't have to fumble for your lighter because your case has a lighter
* You can stuff it with your ID and credit cards

No wonder that with all these features, you are crazy about your cigarette cases. You cannot even part with one of your collection no matter how much your buddy begs on his knees for one, even the ugliest one by your standards.

If you could you would own 100 lighters. Those cigarette cases are so delightful to have and displaying them on your glassed shelf can give you a kick. Not that you use all of these for your 120s or 100s but you have other uses for these like hiding some cash in it if you cannot find your money clip when you are in a hurry. While they still make the stuff, you might a well enjoy them, even if you have quit smoking.
