Page 1 of 2  Plus: Some steals and deals we missed on Tuesday!Los Angeles, August 28 – One of the most unique offerings at last month’s International Premium Cigar & Pipe Retailers Association convention and trade show in Las Vegas didn’t have a single leaf of tobacco anywhere near it. But it said a lot about smokers. The item was a 12-image poster offered by Michigan City, Indiana art and framing dealer Sharpeye Framing Company called “Sigaromanzia.” The concept came from a 1921 Italian yearbook, Il Tabaco, which showed 12 different positions in which a man holds his cigar . . . and the psychological profile that accompanies that stance! According to the company, “Recently, a team of experts performed an experiment similar to that of the Italian psychologists and found nearly identical results. It just goes to show that one gives away quite a bit without ever saying a word.” The 12 different styles of hold are accompanied by the following “characteristics” of the holder: If you’d like to know which profiles fit which hold, you’ll have to check out the slide show at the Sharpeye Framing Web site. The poster is available, in either all-color or black and white, for purchase in better tobacco shops; the Sharpeye Framing site has an inquiry option so that you can ask where you might find a copy. It’s a sure attention getter . . . and keeps you current on your own view of the world! |
