Early Cigar, Cigarette and Tobacco Advertisements

You will be stepping into the past, the world of your ancestors as you turn these pages of advertisements for cigars, cigarettes, tobacco for pipes and roll your own cigarettes from long ago. Call it nostalgia if you will, as the products are from a way of life that does not exist any longer, the days long before filters were known. The advertisements can be humorous, just plain silly, and offer bits of history with drawings, photographs, caricatures and text with the advertising statements in earlier days. It is also interesting to see the gift items people could receive with some of the products advertised for sale. Welcome to the world and life that was.
