Why this DB11 accessory?

[kensilver]

I was looking through the DB11 accessories and was amused to find a 'Smoker's Pack' there. Nice to think in this age of 'elf & safetee that AM still caters for the rebels of our world

Ian Fleming described James Bond as a heavy 60-70-a-day smoker, so that explains the tradition!

A lot of manufacturers still do, I was speccing up a 911 and the salesman said it was worth specing the Smokers pack as it included a handy cubby hole with a cover. No idea what else was included.

£36:
Ashtray and cigarette lighter in place of the uncovered storage compartment in the front centre console

I have the uncovered storage compartment in my car and have to say this would have been worth £36.

Its not that niche; there are over a billion smokers out there in the world and the UK is still 75th on the list of world consumers yet we are "just" a small country

Im glad I gave up many years ago....

Wonder what the correlation is for luxury cars i.e. how many owners smoke in them ?

If I had been smoking all of my adult life, I could not have afforded my Aston Martin and would possibly be 6 feet under by now...or worse!

That cubbyhole looks pretty useful, I cant see why it is not a cubbyhole as stahdard and the smokers pack jst has a lighter and ashtray fitted into it? The extra 12V outlet could be useful.
