Description: The art of cigar box labels from the mid-1800s through the 1930s helped sell millions of cigars. Busty women, heroes, impish children, sports icons, composers, and more found their way into the advertiser's art and makers would change labels at the drop of the hat if they thought it would help sales. Over 500 of the finest labels are shown in color photographs with a description and current value.

Brief description: The author's enchanted pursuit of these beautiful pieces of Americana has endured for over 30 years
