I dislike smoking. The idea of intentionally inhaling smoke into one's lungs is mystifying to me. Despite this, I frequently like the smokers themselves—and I have always appreciated the elegant accoutrements of smoking: ashtrays, tobacco jars, smoking stands, cigarette holders. The Spanish cigar cutter, shown above, is an example of the aesthetically-pleasing tools a smoker may require. The cutter has an industrial sensibility; in fact, the company which made it once manufactured office accessories. Today, such a cigar cutter would look good in any office or smoking den—whether that space has an industrial, traditional or Turn-of-the-Century sensibility.
