Unusual By Makri A gorgeous book, well-made, with lush photography and a sophisticated, detailed history of tobacco’s origins through 20th century Cigarette Culture when luxurious cigarette holders reached their peak in artistic design. The collection is surprising, alone, for its idiosyncrasy— like all unusual collections, what you see on these beautiful pages is the result of a sustained global hunt for works of art that had gone largely unnoticed. These cigarette holders are unique treasures that reveal a personal part of the periods in which they were designed. The book includes a thorough explanation of materials. It’s fun to imagine the time when such elegant objects were in vogue, who held them and where they went, from China to America, to Russia….

A beautiful collection By Charlotte A beautifully designed book introducing a unique collection of once useful and ubiquitious smoking accessories that presents an extrodinary range of solutions for how to gracefully hold a cigarette--from exquisite jeweled objects once belonging to royalty to disposable plastic mouthpieces, some clever, whimsical, some beautifully embellished, others simply utilitarian.This book should be of interest for cultural anthopologists, students of twentieth century crafts, fans of fine jewelry, and fashion history.

I design jewelry and this book gave me so many ideas. There are so many varieties of holders, materials and designs. I thoroughly enjoyed leafing through the book and discovering a treasure on every page - My favorite is the little silver monkey looking at himself in a diamond mirror.
