Description
Gentlemen’s clubs in old Paris had rules about everything. Where to sit, when to speak, which newspaper belonged to which member. But the most important rule of all was never, ever to touch another man’s cigar while it rested on the ashtray. Old Monsieur Lefort once moved one by an inch, and the members still talk about the silence that followed.
With this box, everyone is welcome to pick up the cigar. Designed as a miniature ashtray with a removable porcelain La Canudo cigar, it is a clever, tongue-in-cheek gift for a cigar lover, a host who keeps a well-stocked bar, or a friend who enjoys a celebration smoke at weddings and new arrivals. On a desk beside a leather blotter, a bookcase among biographies or a side table next to a whisky glass, it looks right at home. It also makes a fun groomsman gift or a memento for a milestone birthday, a promotion or a retirement party where the cigars come out at the end of the evening. Even non-smokers tend to pick it up and laugh. Fathers of the bride have been known to treasure it.
