The Cubans were packing in consumer size boxes of cigars (25, 50, 100) in the early 1800’s though little information exists about specific companies and brands. Pre-1891 Cuban boxes are especially rare but any Cuban boxes prior to the Warrantee stamp in 1912 are to be prized.
While we’re all waiting for me to find more time to write about them, I hope you enjoy a look at some of the Cuban boxes I have been able to find, most of them in the last ten years.
