A (Very Short) History of Tobacco

Few looked so dashing as Noel Coward, the actor / playwright / songwriter and bon vivant. The showbiz and high society wit may have been born of humble beginnings, but you'd never know it from his cravat and the way he elegantly wielded that cigarette holder, would you? Coward’s palatial island retreat in colonial Jamaica was where the greats of the stage and Hollywood came to play, including Laurence Olivier, Vivian Leigh, Bette Davis and "James Bond" creator Ian Fleming. One of Coward's final plays, Volcano, about the celebrity goings on he witnessed there, was considered too scandalous to have been staged while he was still alive.
