    I checked, it is just north of the Wadden Sea. The culture and language are the same as on the Wadden Sea islands though, Frisian.

    You hold it horizontally.;)
    One half to present cigarettes to others, the other for your own use (chain smoker:hungover:)?
    Ditto, that is odd.

    My Dad had a cigarette case like the ones in Komo's post. It had horizontal sprung metal holders that were fascinating to me. IIRC it had a cartouche on the front with his initial engraved.
