Guaranteed old and original. We have been collecting these artistically beautiful pieces of American history for over 30 years. Most pieces were printed in the late 1800's and early 1900's when cigar smoking was the rage and a lot of both talent, and money went into the designing of a label in hopes that it would make the product stand out against all the others.
For more information on the amazing history of cigar labels, check out these outstanding books: "Cigar Box Labels - Portraits of Life, Mirrors of History" by Gerald S. Petrone; "Labeling America - Popular Culture on Cigar Box Labels" by John Grossman, or another one of our favorites, which helped us get our start in collecting cigar box labels, "The Art of the Cigar Label" by Joe Davidson.
