Here is a great spring-loaded cigarette case made by Taico. It features a very cool cigarette ejecting mechanism. A spring holds the cigarettes in line, and a sliding button on the edge allows you to eject one up out of the case without opening it, in turn making you look EXTREMELY cool.

As the demand for smoking accessories grew, the manufacturers, many of whom had previously produced a variety of ‘fancy goods,’ began making cigarette cases and lighters, as well as ladies’ compacts and other cosmetics accessories.” Before the 1920s and ’30s, “men’s jewellery had previously been limited to watches, cufflinks, and tie pins, and there was soon a great demand for the newly essential smoking accoutrements.”
