A cigarette holder fabricated in colorful plastic with a streamlined body. The light green area used for the mouthpiece is rounded then progresses into a form with squarish corners for more than half of the body. The attached part has a small dark section, probably used as a filter for the smoke. It is attached to the remainder of the body having squarish sides, manufactured in tan plastic that expands slightly into the opening where a green plastic covers the corners at the tip. The photograph captures the cigarette holder against a light gray background.
