Guest ripper Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 Have been collecting vintage postcards since 1970. I would like to share an occasional card from my cigars collection and scans. Here is a beauty from the Cuba Propaganda Commission Pavilion at the 1939 World's Fair in New York. Have attached the postcard back, though it has album damage.
CigarmanTim Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 Now that is a hobby I could get into. Thanks for the post 1

Guest ripper Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 A lithographed card, circa 1905, of women cigarmakers in Havana. Lucky guy hovering at right.
Guest ripper Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 A maxim chrome postcard, with a postage stamp and Habanos S.A. seal from Cubatabaco's annual festival in Havana. This fella probably has enough smokes for the holiday weekend.
Guest ripper Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 Cuba's National Commission for Propaganda and Defence of Havana Tobacco published this postcard in 1938. The graphic also ran as an ad in the Dec. 10, 1938 New York Times. The campaign noted that cigars promoted concentration, relaxation and peace.
Guest ripper Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 This sensational linen postcard, published by Curt Teich Co. of Chicago, was commissioned by Cuban Tourist Commission in 1941. The artist was Conrado Massaguer (1889-1955) https://cubaenlamemoria.wordpress.co...caricaturista/ Not a cigars postcard, but a memory of what makes Cuba so alluring.
Guest ripper Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 La Corona Cigar Factory is shown to the left of the former Presidential Palace on Avenida Belgica in Havana in this 1930 B&W real photo postcard. La Corona was home to such fabled brands as Romeo y Julieta, Hoyo de Monterrey, Cuaba, Por Larrañaga, Saint Luis Rey, San Cristóbal de la Habana, and Montecristo.

Guest ripper Posted July 11, 2017 Posted July 11, 2017 This 1924 white border postcard published by Curt Teich Co. of Chicago shows rollers in a Tampa factory. You can see the lector (reader) in upper right corner. Sitting up by the ceiling had to be a sweltering job in pre-AC days.
Guest ripper Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 A wonderfully clear interior circa 1915 of Martin Bros. Cigar Store in Waterloo IA. Beautiful cash register and terrazzo floor.The owner was Hope C. Martin, a Waterloo entrepreneur married to a woman with the glorious name of Mayme A. Baro. Hope Martin had a wholesale candy and tobacco business in Waterloo. He owned 22 buildings, many farms and properties in Black Hawk County IA. There is a park and a theatre named for him in Waterloo. The park was camp site of the Pottawattomie, Fox, Sioux, Winnebago and Sac Indians. I worked at Comer's Cigar Store in Iowa City when I was a U of Iowa student. Would have loved to spend a few hours smoking and talking to the folks at Martin Bros. store. Then I would miss air conditioning and cable TV and want to return to now.

Guest ripper Posted July 14, 2017 Posted July 14, 2017 The King Edward factory in Jacksonville Fl, circa 1955. Nice lithographic postcard.
Fugu Posted July 15, 2017 Posted July 15, 2017 The "King Edward nursery" - quite progressive for their time! 1
Guest ripper Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 A 1915 postcard for Vega del Rey, clear Havana cigars made by S.H. Furgatch Co. of New York.Plus an outer box label for this brand.
Guest ripper Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 This 1940s linen is the best cigars postcard ever. A dream date...
