Finding the Right Tobacco-accessories for You

Antique, new and vintage tobacco accessories are not typically works of art, but, even if you’ve kicked the habit, an ornate mid-century modern ashtray, bronze cigar cutter or Art Deco cigarette case — collector’s items, all — will prove to be a unique accent piece for your bar cart, coffee table or mantel.

Cigar connoisseurs know the value of a good cigar box or humidor. Humidors safely store cigars at the right temperature so they don’t retain moisture and deteriorate in quality. Depending on the size and type of cigar, a cigar cutter is also an important accessory for the consummate cigar smoker. There are guillotine cutters, cigar scissors, V-cutters and punch cutters. These tools are useful, but, as part of a 19th-century upgrade for your contemporary desk, antique tobacco accessories are also a fun way to integrate personal expression into your workday. A sleek vintage cigarette case or lighter can introduce some pizzazz to the shelves of your home library or any other surface where you display your collectibles.

While ashtrays might not immediately strike you as interesting and provocative objects that deserve to be part of your decor, these accessories have taken on all manner of forms and styles over the years. Old glass ashtrays, which are quite popular and easily found in free-form, organic shapes, can be a purely decorative final touch when styling a coffee table. Visionary designers such as Isamu Noguchi — one of the most prolific and protean creative forces of the 20th century — popularized the idea of tobacco accessories as art with projects such as his decorative ashtrays.

Discover an extensive collection of antique, new and vintage tobacco accessories for your home today on 1stDibs.

Questions About Japanese Lighter
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
    The most well-known design of Zippo-style lighters is called the flint wheel ignition lighter. Some people also refer to them as windproof lighters. In addition to their classic lighters, Zippo manufactures pipe and candle lighters. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of antique, vintage and modern lighters.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Vintage lighters with decorative designs are sometimes called carved lighters, hobo lighters or trench lighters. The first lighter ever made was the Döbereiner’s lamp, designed by Johann Wolfgang Dobereiner in 1823. You can find a range of vintage lighters on 1stDibs.
