Smoking Boy with Sherlock Holmes Pipe

This vintage photo from somewhere between 1899 and 1904 shows a youngster that probably had more moxy and in-bread responsibility than most of today's 18 year olds. Obviously, he is mimicking the actions of an older male in his family. I'll bet he would be puffing a Cohiba, given the chance.

What say ye?

Scottsdale Gets New Smoke: Napoleon Cigar Club

The Napoleon is a cigar lounge. It opened in February, replacing the third floor of what used to be the Estate House at the Scottsdale Waterfront. The 6,000-square-foot space pays homage to the classy cigar clubs in New York City and Los Angeles, according to owner Napoleon Smith.

Lead Paint and Cigar Smoking

Back in the day, there really was nothing harmful to us, right??

Buffalo Bill Cigar Store Carving

Some fantastic fantasizing going on here about how this would look on my front porch. Or perhaps the reception area at my downtown office. A conversation starter, no doubt. Hand-rolled loose leaf must have been the standard of that man's day.





Beautiful old cigar store carvings captured in the photostream of this gent: http://www.flickr.com/photos/imagesaint/with/454721530/

Buffalo Bill Cigar Box

Nice, colorful graphics of Cody (Buffalo Bill) cigar box. This
box contained Puritanos Cigars. Box measures 6" X 8.5", 2.5"
deep. Bottom side states it is Factory No. 35 lst Dist. PA.

Wouldn't it be cool to have this in your home office or reception area? A nice piece of the wild west.
