Cigarette holder
A cigarette holder is a fashion accessory, a slender tube in which a cigarette is held for smoking. Most frequently made of silver, jade or bakelite (popular in the past but now wholly replaced by modern plastics), cigarette holders were considered an essential part of ladies' fashion from the early 1910s through early to the mid 1970s. Purpose. The holder was a practical accessory and served several purposes: Appearance. Materials. Cigarette holders range from the simplest, single-material constructs to incredibly ornate objects with complex inlays of metal and gemstones. Rarer examples of these can be found in  enamel, horn, tortoiseshell, or more precious materials such as amber and ivory. A similar holder made of wood, meerschaum or bakelite and with an amber mouthpiece was used for cigars and was a popular accessory for men from the Edwardian period until the 1920s. Size. As with evening gloves, ladies' cigarette holders are measured by four traditional formal standard lengths: Traditionally, men's cigarette holders were no more than 4 inches long. Notable users. Well-known women who used cigarette holders include Audrey Hepburn, Lucille Ball, Jayne Mansfield, Jacqueline Kennedy, Rita Hayworth, Princess Margaret, Wendy Richard, Madalena Barbosa, Natalie Wood , Louise Brooks, and Ayn Rand. Scarlett Johansson is a contemporary example. Among the best-known men who used cigarette holders were Franklin D. Roosevelt, Ivor Novello, Enrico Caruso, Vladimir Horowitz, Ian Fleming, Noël Coward, Hunter S. Thompson (though he regarded his as only a filter), Tennessee Williams, Fulgencio Batista, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Josip Broz Tito, and Hans von Bülow. Cultural references. Holders can be seen in period films like "Titanic", and in films of the 1950s and 1960s. Holly Golightly, the naïve and eccentric café society girl portrayed by Audrey Hepburn in the 1961 classic "Breakfast at Tiffany's", is famously  seen carrying an oversized cigarette holder; the image of Hepburn wearing the famous Givenchy little black dress and with the foot-long cigarette holder in her hand, is considered one of the most iconic images of 20th-century American cinema. Lucille Ball can be seen using one in certain episodes of "I Love Lucy". In "Troop Beverly Hills", Shelly Long's character is seen throughout the movie using one. Cruella de Vil is seen using one repeatedly in the 1961 animated Disney film "One Hundred and One Dalmatians" and in the 1996 remake, in which she is portrayed by Glenn  Close. Margo Lane (portrayed by Penelope Ann Miller) used one in "The Shadow", as did Jade in "Jonny Quest". Comedian Phyllis Diller had a stage persona which included holding a long cigarette holder from which she pretended to smoke (though she was a non-smoker in real life). Fictional "Peter Pan" character Captain Hook possessed a unique double-holder, which allowed him to smoke two cigars (not cigarettes) at once. Batman's nemesis The Penguin also commonly uses a cigarette holder in the comics, the 1960s television series, the live-action film "Batman Returns", "", and "Harley Quinn". Edna Mode from  the Incredibles franchise is often seen with an unlit cigarette holder. Johnny Depp uses a cigarette holder in his role as Raoul Duke (alter ego of gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson) in the film "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas". In cartoons, the Pink Panther, Colonel Sponsz from "The Adventures of Tintin", and Jade from "Jonny Quest" use cigarette holders. The lyrics to "Satin Doll", by Duke Ellington, and the cover art of the album "Badfinger" feature a cigarette holder. The video to "Into the Great Wide Open", by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, features Faye Dunaway using her cigarette  holder as a magic wand. Rachel Menken, a character on the AMC series "Mad Men", smokes cigarettes with a short holder.
