I purchased this for my 30 year class reunion which has a Great Gatsby theme. I did try it and it works beautifully. I remember wanting one of these when I was little girl. I thought they were so classy when I would those old black and white movies with my mother. I like that I can use it at different lengths. I have to admit I quit smoking a few years ago but I did get one from my husband just so I could try it out. The best part for me was that I was able to take small drags. Whether it's for a costume or, starting a new/old trend, for everyday, use this product will not let you down.
