There are many cigarette accessories that complete a smoker's kit. Chief among them are cigarette cases, lighters and holders.

Cigarette cases are most useful when cigarettes have to be stored in small amounts while traveling or on a long journey. However, cigarette cases have today achieved the dual usage of not only storing cigarettes in them, but also creating or adding to the personality of the person using the cigarette case.

A cigarette case has become as much of a external symbol as a leather jacket, cell phone or any other external accessory. There are a range of cigarette cases available in the market. The cases are made to fit various personalities and both genders. The cigarette cases can fit filtered as well as non-filtered cigarettes. The number of cigarettes that can be stored in a case differs. Normally, they can hold up to eighteen cigarettes.

The cases are made out of a number of materials. Some of the popular materials used are gold, silver, brass, leather, chrome or aluminum. Some cases can be embossed upon, for that personal touch. Cigarette cases are also available in customized patterns.

Special cigarette cases are available for women. Some of them are designed as purses and can match outfits. Velvet, PVC and leather are among the chief materials used to prepare these cigarette cases.

Cigarette cases are used by various companies whose products are extensively used by cigarette smokers. Magazines like Playboy, cigarette-lighter manufacturing companies like Zippo and BIC, and liquor companies like Jack Daniels have their own line of cigarette cases.
