What's in the Box

2× Fake Cigarette Props (3.25" each) – realistic ash tip, filter band detail, burn staining effect

This Adult Fake Cigarette Prop nails the Roaring 20s gangster aesthetic with realistic ash-tip detail, brown burn staining, and an orange filter band. The rigid plastic construction holds its shape in photos, theatrical performances, or costume party group shots. Each pack includes 2 cigarettes, sized at 3.25" to match the real thing visually without any functional element.

Standout detail is the textured gray ash tip — it looks like mid-burn frozen in time. The white body transitions through subtle brown staining to the ash, with the filter band printed in warm orange tones. Lightweight enough to tuck behind an ear, hold between fingers, or display in a retro cigarette case. Comes blister-packed for storage between events.

Perfect For

1920s Themed Parties & Gatsby Events: Essential prop for gangster suits, flapper dresses, speakeasy bartender costumes, or any prohibition-era character where the smoking aesthetic completes the look.

Halloween & Murder Mystery Dinners: Pairs with film noir detective coats, vintage mob boss pinstripes, or femme fatale gowns — adds period-correct detail without actual smoking.

Theatrical Productions & Photo Shoots: Stage-ready prop for classic Hollywood scenes, vintage advertising shoots, or retro editorial styling where the cigarette silhouette is iconic.

How to Wear It

Tuck behind your ear for the tough-guy gangster pose, hold between fingers for the flapper glamour shot, or display in a vintage cigarette case clipped to your suit pocket. Pairs with fedoras, suspenders, pinstripe suits, bow ties, or any 1920s costume where smoking was part of the era's visual language.

FAQ

Q: Is this a real cigarette or does it light/smoke?

A: Non-functional novelty prop only — no lighting, no smoking, no tobacco. It's a realistic-looking plastic replica designed purely for costume/theatrical use.

Q: How realistic does it look in photos?

A: Very realistic at photo distance. The ash tip texture, burn staining, and filter band details read as authentic in group shots or on stage. Close inspection reveals it's plastic, but from 3 feet away it photographs like the real thing.

Q: Can I reuse this for multiple events?

A: Yes. Rigid construction won't bend or crumble like paper props. Store it in the blister pack between uses and it'll last through many costume parties, theatre runs, or photo sessions.

Q: Is this suitable for kids' Book Week costumes?

A: Not recommended. This is an adult costume accessory designed for 1920s/gangster themes at adult events. The realistic cigarette appearance is inappropriate for school dress-up days or children's events.

Care: Wipe with a damp cloth if needed; store in original packaging to prevent scuffing.
