Description
After dinner the men drift out to the terrace while the coffee is poured. Uncle Bernard produces a cedar box from inside his jacket with the ceremony of a magician, lifts the lid, and passes it around the table. Nobody hurries. There is talk of old friends and older wines, a little laughter at a story everyone has heard before, and smoke rising slowly into the warm night air above the vines.
This little cigar box captures that ritual without any of the smoke. Give it to a father who keeps a humidor in his study, to a best man as a wedding thank-you, or to a business partner after a deal well done. On a desk, a bar cart or a library shelf, it makes a handsome resting place for cufflinks or collar stays, and a natural conversation piece when guests linger with a brandy after the meal is over.
