In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, cheroot and cigarette cases were a popular accessory, reflecting the changing social dynamics and attitudes towards smoking. As tobacco became more widely consumed, especially after the introduction of commercially rolled cigarettes, these cases provided a convenient and stylish way to carry and protect cigarettes. Some cases even featured compartments for matches or lighter storage.

Cheroots are a type of cigar that is often shorter and thicker than traditional cigars, and they are typically unfiltered. Cheroots have a long history and are known for their strong and distinct flavor.

This elegant accessory exudes a timeless charm, while the sterling silver composition ensures not only a striking appearance but also a durable and lasting accessory. The case was once a cherished gift with a to and from monogram etched into the cases. Whether a functional container for your small cigars / cigarettes, or a sophisticated objet d'art, this silver case stands as a testament to meticulous artistry and offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of refined elegance.
