What were long cigarette holders for?
The long cigarette holders were used to prevent ash from falling on one’s clothes. Women at the time didn’t wear smoking jackets, so on formal occasions a long cigarette holder was needed. Shop a collection of long cigarette holders from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
