This Decadent is delightfully fastidious as to the ultraexcellence and superb rarity of the highly fashionable, and proportionately expensive, brand of Egyptian he affects, and of which he never by chance smokes more than three per diem. Having with scrupulous care selected one from his diamond-monogramed gold-chased case, he will sedulously tap the end a dozen times less the minutest particle of tobacco should presume to stray betwixt the wind and his nobility.

EDITORS COMMENTS
The Votaries of the Weed No 16 by Joseph Clayton Clarke (Kyd) captures the essence of a decadent smoker in early 20th century England. The color lithograph print showcases a man who is fastidious about his choice of Egyptian cigarettes, only indulging in three per day from his diamond-monogramed gold-chased case. With meticulous care, he taps the end of his cigarette to ensure no stray tobacco disrupts his noble experience.
This illustration is part of a set of cigarette cards titled Votaries of the Weed, originally issued by Gallaher in 1916. It provides a glimpse into the culture and sophistication surrounding smoking during this era, where even the act of lighting up was seen as an art form.
The vibrant colors and intricate details in this print bring to life the luxurious world of high society smokers, highlighting their refined tastes and extravagant habits. It serves as a reminder of a time when smoking was not just a habit but a symbol of status and elegance.
As we admire this piece from our private collection, we are transported back to a time when every puff was savored with precision and style, making it more than just an act but an experience to be cherished.
