You can find lots of cigarette cases online.  Right now the fabric ones that held a cardboard packet of cigarettes and a book of matches are easily found.  Modern Art Nouveau enameled ones are lovely and not very expensive, either.  If you want antiques, especially silver, you'll pay more.

As always, shop around.  Prices vary a lot for these items.
