EDITORS COMMENTS
The Flor de Karaktra: The Cigar as Seer - Character Revealed through the Art of Holding a Cigar, as Depicted in Early 20th Century Drawings In the early 1910s, Popular Mechanics of Chicago published a series of intriguing illustrations, shedding light on the fascinating subject of character analysis through the seemingly trivial act of holding a cigar. These captivating drawings, now preserved in the archives, offer a glimpse into the Edwardian era's fascination with human nature and the belief that every detail, no matter how minute, could reveal profound insights into a person's character. The art of cigar holding, as the illustrations suggest, was considered a reliable indicator of one's disposition, habits, and even social standing. The manner in which a man cradled the cigar in his hand, puffed on it, or held it between his lips, was believed to be a window into his very soul. The Flor de Karaktra, or "flower of the cigar," as it was affectionately referred to, was considered an essential accessory for the well-dressed gentleman of the time. The cigar not only served as a symbol of wealth and sophistication but also as a mirror reflecting the complexities of the human psyche. The following illustrations, taken from the pages of Popular Mechanics, showcase various ways of holding a cigar, each revealing unique aspects of a man's character. From the confident and self-assured grip to the contemplative and introspective clasp, these drawings offer a captivating glimpse into the world of Edwardian character analysis and the belief that even the smallest of details could reveal the most profound truths about a person. Join us as we delve into the intriguing world of cigar holding and character analysis, as depicted in these captivating early 20th century illustrations.
