oakalley Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Great Reading, and many thanks for taking the time to reproduce this intersting little booklet for all to enjoy. It's interesting to see how attitudes have changed over the past 70+ years. Back then, smoking a cigar after dinner, at sporting events ,etc. was not only permissable, it was considered the "proper thing to do". Now the anti-smoking Nazis have made it so socially unacceptable, one has to travel to the middle of the desert to feel safe smoking his after dinner cigar.

Stalebread Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Just finished. Thanks again, Guy. A lot of the cigars look like they have a pretty extreme box-pressed. Sort of like a Padron today. Even some of the perfecto shapes look like they are box-pressed. Is it just my imagination? A quirk of the photography? Or were cigars of that day really that box-pressed?

jackinedinburgh Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Hi there and thanks for the information in the post. I have been trying to find out about Martins of PIccadilly since I found this matchbook and thought I'd try to add a few images to add to the story. I should add the matchbook is huge- 5.5" by 5" Thanks again to the original scanner of the booklet John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahamsant Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 I'm glad this topic was bumped otherwise I may have never seen it! What a fantastic read! One of the things I love so much about cigars is the world that goes with it and the etiquette from days gone by. This is a really good look into the past! Excellent!

cottierm Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 I am very happy to discover this wonderful old post of Guy as I didn't know of the existence of this booklet. Note that Charles Graves was the brother of the poet Robert Graves (the “I, Claudius” author, among other things). Best, Michel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colt45 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 A few years back, I put the images together as a pdf. If Guy gives the OK, I'll post it here, as I think PDFs are downloadable (though it may be too large). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
