DescriptionThis cigarette holder has a black plastic curved tapered stem. It is overlaid with a white ceramic slightly curved cylinder with a blue glazed windmill and "Holland" painted on it. The ceramic extends from the cigarette end to less than half the length of the holder. The ceramic end is on a spring and can be pushed down the stem which would expel the unsmoked end of the cigarette.
