Wherever we may find ourselves in the world, there’s always a special place that takes center stage in each of our hearts. It doesn’t matter if it’s the place where you were born in, your hometown, or even the city you lived in for just a short while because for you, no other place compares. So you stock up on the memories with pictures, souvenirs, and a plethora of knick knacks. If it reminds you of that place, then you have it - no doubt about it. And more than likely, you won’t say no to anything new that comes along. And if you can carry it along with you everywhere you go? Well, that’s just fabulous!

As a smoker, there’s no better accessory than cigarette cases. As a smoker attached to his roots, cigarette cases that feature topographic art of a favorite city or landscape is no less than perfection. “Topo-what?”, you might ask. Well, for those lost in translation, topographic views are, simply put, aerial views. Through such an artistic rendition, you get to enjoy a view of your special place in all its glory as if you’re really there.

But I digress. These fabulous metal cigarette cases feature antique topo art from the turn of the 19th century, something that was very popular back then and is fast re-gaining its popularity now. These are very rare artwork, too, so you know you’re not getting a dime-a-dozen design; you’ll know that you’re in possession of something special. The subjects are also very recognizable and iconic, so it’s definitely appreciated, even almost a century and a half after the fact.

For the moment, this line of cigarette cases only features the Manhattan in 1874 and San Francisco in 1878 designs, but don’t fret. This is just the start. Pretty soon, we’ll probably be seeing Chicago and Detroit, and even Paris, Milan, and London, to name a few. The possibilities are endless for these fashionable cigarette cases, and it’s something you can’t just pass up.

Indeed, visiting your special place is no longer a plane ride away. You only have to light up a cigarette, and you’ll be transported back in time.
