They used to say, “Smoke ’em if you got ’em,” a phrase spoken at the edge of time—when moments mattered and nothing was meant to be rushed. Smoke’em carries that same spirit. Built into a reclaimed Luis Martinez cigar box, this puzzle invites you to pause, settle in, and engage with something that rewards presence over speed.
Inside, the mechanism reveals itself like a slow-burning blend. Levers, dowels, springs, and wheels interact in tight quarters, passing tension and release the way smoke passes flavor from wrapper to filler. Each move matters. Push too hard and the box resists. Listen closely, and the path opens. As with a fine cigar, the experience is ruined by impatience and elevated by restraint.
For collectors, Smoke’em is a knowing nod to ritual and rarity. Smoke ’em if you got ’em becomes less a slogan and more an invitation—this piece is meant to be handled, not hidden; enjoyed, not hurried. Once solved, its secret remains—but the ritual, like good smoke, lingers long after the moment has passed.
With 11 moves to open, you just might get to enjoy a whole cigar while you solve it!
