For what might one have been looking on eBay to have encountered such an item?

Best wishes,

Believe it or not, my usual "Whistle" search... always seems to bring up some ...um... "interesting" stuff besides whistles.

A good friend of mine, Peter Yeates, uses one of these things on stage. If you ask me, it's a stroke of brilliance!

Now if someone would only design a matching ashtray....

They also have a cigarette pack holder, but that's going a bit far...
then you can't roll 'em up in your sleeve like Travolta in Grease.

That's my sentiment too, I mean, if I can't emulate John Revolta, I ain't smoking baby!

If only I'd had one of these in my stage smokin days!

One time I left a smoke perched on my packet on the effects rack. Unfortunately it also was accross my gas lighter beside the packet which dutifully exploded on beat and gave us some unexpected pyrotechnics (which we didn't have to pay for, I might add), however, it was hard to find a light for another smoke for the rest of the night!

I imagine so.

The same design? I thought he used one of those coily thingies that look like a big converted upside-down potato masher dipped in rubber. Or maybe it's the boys from The Tim Molloys that use 'em...that's what I'd use if I didn't find the floor so convenient, anyway. The holder above has a fatal flaw to my eyes: you can still knock your pint out of it if you're waxing dramatic and a sweeping gesticulation gets out of hand. Or a punter could snatch away your pint with too much ease when you're not looking.
