The cigarette box showcases the sin of pride through the use of material, texture, and design. The clean polished marriage of metals with copper and brass showcase an elegant box meant to hold cigarettes, which are often associated with their bad smell, and the addiction that comes with it. However, the box allows for this addiction to be flaunted in a way that represents it as a luxury. The dancing man that is riveted to the front of the box is to also represent the celebration of the addiction, glorifying it to be something to dance about. With the ecstatic energy of the box, comes a chain meant to go around the users belt loop is a stark reminder that cigarettes are still an addiction, and that no matter how much pride you have in your ”habit” you will always be chained to the cigarettes.
