HANDCRAFT
Food Carving
ancient and modern
It has been the delight of crafts- men of all ages to transform plain solid material into a wonder, of design and embellishment. A trans- formation which could only be achieved by hand.
It is the same spirit of handcraft allied with pure golden Virginia leaf which produces the World's most famous cigarettes.
