Again we’re presented by something so practical and beautiful, we wonder why it’s taken so long. It’s a self-contained, portable cigar kit.

At a tiny 5 1/2″ x 7 1/4″ x 2 5/8″, this dark-polished timber box slides out to reveal a nickel-plated butane lighter, a steel cigar cutter and a cleverly removable nickel-plated ashtray.

The manufacturers of this revelation have complemented their ingenuity with generosity. Rather than giving into the temptation to fleece the cigar-loving community by throwing a ludicrously high price onto the ‘cigar lover’s kit’, $50 is all you’ll need. Sometimes in the cigar accessory market, you feel you’d be lucky to afford ash at that price.

(On a different note, given its dimensions, how long before someone mods this into a drive-bay smoking station for their PC?)
