The Bashful Trick Lock is one of those classic pocket novelties that tobacco collectors and puzzle fans love: a little padlock-shaped cigar cutter with a lock that only opens if you know the trick. This one was made by Tafo Mfg. Co. of Los Angeles, California, and the face carries its own challenge, "It Opens When You Don't Look." It makes a fun conversation piece for a desk, a cigar shelf or a tobacciana collection.
