    Tom’s dating goes to the origin of the brand rather than the maker under which he listed them. Lorillard made few cigars prior to the break-up of the tobacco trust in 1911. Nearly all brands associated with Lorillard during the post war cigar boom of the 1940s and 50s were obtained when they and American Tobacco split the cigar assets of the trust, each acquiring 500 or so previously active brands and 20 or so successful ones.  Between the break-up and WWI, both American and Lorillard tested brands, blends and marketing, gradually winnowing down their holdings.

Some of the survived made it through the 1920, then hit the depression, devastating to the medium and high priced cigar market. Only 5% of cigars sold in the 1930s cost more than 5¢. Strong post-World War II Lorillard brands:

    Muriel (1920 - 1950)),  Headline (1890? - 1955), Lillian Russell (1899 - 1953), Between the Acts (1920-1960), Postmaster (1888-1940), New Currency (1911? - 1960), Rocky Ford (1911? 1923?), Masterpiece Miniatures (1950s)
