Taboo Set For Roll-your-own Cigarettes – / Steel Case – Ø 10 Cm – Alessi

Taboo is a set designed especially for roll-your-own cigarettes. This compact and smart polished steel case lets you keep all the elements necessary for rolling cigarettes to hand. It easily slips into a bag or pocket. Inside the steel case, three thermoplastic-resin compartments let you store a packet of rolling sheets, loose tobacco and filters. The tobacco and the filters are protected by lids. The compartment for storing the tobacco is sealed by a small flat stainless steel panel which closes thanks to two small magnets placed on the inner edge. When you take out the tobacco, the small panel stays open, held by a magnet on the other case. The steel lid that covers the tobacco can also serve as a little pocket mirror. This piece offers quality and a ritual to all those who like smoking. It is a real alternative to the compulsive consumption habits so often associated with industrial packets. It is evocative of a more aware and thoughtful consumption model, that is also slower, in which you can choose the amount of tobacco and bring together all the accessories required in a single item, that is both elegant and practical and that you can store equally as well at home as in your bag.
