I've got one.

In Britain those were used to keep chamberpots in (the metal lining is
a giveaway: supposed to prevent the smell leaking out). A chamberpot was
what you ****ed in at night.

It's too bad that smokers are not aware of how bad they smell to others.
I think it is even worse now that smoking is no longer allowed indoors.
People go out and power smoke and, for some reason, it seems to make
them smell even worse.

Yup, my in-laws had a stand with that pokey thing in the center.

Back around 1989 or so I worked with a woman who had quit smoking years
before but hang out in the (outdoor) smoking area just so she could
smell it.

Did you ever read the Stephen King short story, 'The 10 O'clock People'?
It was published in a collection of his stories called 'Nightmares and
Dreamscapes'. 10:00 is a typical smoke break time in offices. Only
people who smoked could see that some of their co-workers had been
replaced with evil bat-like creatures in designer suits. LOL

They probably wouldn't sell them singly, when he first started buying them
there, he had to say Amanda sent him so they knew he wasn't some kind of

I grew up having to breathe my dad's cigar smoke. In the den
while watching tv and also in his nice car that had no vent
windows. Many times I pulled my t-shirt up over my mouth and nose
just to somewhat escape that gathering gloom Phillies Perfecto
cloud. I 2nd-hand smoked many of those stogies back in the 60's.

They did have a "green stamp" thing with those cigars. Save up
cigar bands and get gifts. I saved for a long time - over a year
- 1100 cigar bands and got a nice pair of binoculars. He always
bought boxes of 50 cigars too. We saved those. I still have one
with all my Boy Scout patches and badges, etc.

Dad is gone now but I still have his cigar box that he bought
over 50 years ago.

I wondered but it's round. Relief of Queen Elizabeth II on the top.

Quite similar to this one, seems it's called a trinket box.

To me it's like coffee. Even good coffee. The grounds smell much
better than the drink actually tastes. Ditto pipe tobacco. Smells
great in the pouch, not so much in the pipe.

The flu does have benefit. I quit the same way. One day when I was
finally feeling better I realized it was a week since I had a smoke so I
made it my last one. That was about 45 years ago.

No desire to ever light up again. Wish I had never started, it is a
dumb thing to do.

At least I'd know what to do with it. I have a number of things I
don't want but they're not garbage. Watch out thrift shops.

Maybe I should get selling on ebay. Or one of my brothers should.

this wasn't big enough for a chamberpot, at least those in the US. (we
used them over here as well. The only place I knew of them was at
grandpa's lake cottage and my sister's vacation cabin in the woods --
no indoor plumbing either place at the time. Both places were old and
had been in the family for a while. As far as I knew everyone just
got a flashlight and trekked to the outhouse. The chamberpots were
kept under the bed)
Your piece of furniture looks exactly the same, doesn't it?

Janet UK, I like the smell of most pipe tobaccos, but hate the smell of cigars.
My grandpa smoked cigars but I adored him anyway...and also a pipe with
that tobacco that came in a red slim can with a horse and rider - a jumper - on it.
I liked the pipe smell.

I don't mind smelling tobacco on a person I pass on the sidewalk, but hate to be
stuck sitting next to a cigarette smoker in a waiting area. I soon move my seat,
if I can.

It is so odd to see someone smoking in a vehicle...times have really changed.

Cigarette boxes were very much in vogue for years. My wife has one that
was passed on to her from her grandparents. My grandfather had a crystal
cigarette box <?>. I have my father in law's old silver cigarette case.
I quite smoking years ago, had a short relapse and quit again.

People stopped for a smoke break? For many years they just smoked at
their desks.

you put the flashlight.

In UK, there's a total smoking ban in public transport, or in
enclosed public spaces (like, waiting areas).

Smoking is also banned in private vehicles if there's a passenger
under 18.

Yep, that's a trinket box. Just a coincidence your mom stashed the
Wedgewood lighter in the Wedgewood box. Keeping like things together

I've never met a smoker who didn't smell of it. So does their house,
even if they don't smoke indoors.

Cigarette boxes were definitely in vogue. Seems there was one on every
coffee table. When my parents lived in Hawaii (before I was born) in
the 1950's they hired a decorator. She (the decorator) selected a
bright orange cigarette box with a matching ashtray for the living room.
Also a bright orange (2 ft. tall) glass bottle with stopper that
looked sort of like a tall stylized genie bottle. I remember them very
well but I don't know what happened to those things over the years.

The 1950's were a rather strange time for decor.

I still have a couple of ashtrays from that era. The decorator also
talked Mom into buying these:

http://tinyurl.com/y7pwz2bg

I still have the pair of Siamese cats, sitting on a table next to the
sofa in the living room. At some point my rambunctious brothers (they
would have been around age 3 and 7) knocked the mama cat over and broke
her head off. Mom glued it back together. Those silly cat statues are
older than I am.

That's my thought. ebay or etsy. Might be some consignment shops that
would sell it for you. In my experience, though, they take a rather

It's the deep gouges from the bear claws that are more important than
any silly spider! That's a long walk to the outhouse in the dark of
night. The girls and women always made it together with the
flashlight nervously flashing left, right, up and down at every crash
and rustle in the woods. Outhouses weren't built right next to the
house you know.
