Audrey Hepburn with a cigarette holder in Breakfast at Tiffany's

A cigarette holder is a long slender tube in which a cigarette is held while smoked. Most frequently made of silver, jade or bakelite, cigarette holders were considered an essential part of ladies' fashion from the 1900s through the mid1960s, and are still widely popular in many aspects of Japanese fashion.

Cigarette holders range from three inches to over a foot, and sometimes have a charcoal filter in the mouthpiece.

Holders can be seen in period films like Fail-Safe and Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Men also used holders, the best known probably being Franklin D. Roosevelt.
