Please keep in mind, that it included only a cigar case and the other items are only for display. Cigar cases have been used for generations to safely and elegantly store and transport cigars. The history of cigar cases stretches back to the 18th century when cigars gained popularity among the aristocratic and rich classes. In the early days, cigar boxes were constructed from leather, wood, and tin. These early cigar containers were basic and functional, meant to safeguard cigars during shipment. As cigars' popularity increased, so did the need for increasingly opulent and elaborate cigar cases. Throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries, sterling silver cigar cases gained in popularity. Reflecting the beauty and refinement of the Edwardian period, these silver cigar cases often included exquisite engravings and other ornamental embellishments. The antique Edwardian sterling silver three-tube cigar case is an exquisite example of this cigar case design. This design incorporates three tubes, enabling the user to transport many cigars simultaneously. The case is crafted from 925 sterling silver and is embellished with elaborate engravings and other artistic accents. Throughout the early 20th century, cigar smoking was seen as a sign of wealth, refinement, and prestige, and a luxury cigar case was a must-have item for any discriminating cigar enthusiast. As a gesture of gratitude and friendship, cigar cases such as the antique Edwardian sterling silver three-tube cigar case were often presented as presents to friends and coworkers. The popularity of cigar boxes among tobacco lovers and collectors persists today.
