Collecting Cigar Box Art - Old and New

Collecting old cigar box labels is becoming increasingly popular. Some of these boxes were made of wood, paper or cardboard and beautifully decorated with illustrations. They are becoming highly collectible as more and more people are becoming interested in them for the artwork depicted on them. The increase in attention has created a market both for the collections and the artwork. There are many posters and books available depicting cigar box labels. This page is about collecting and purchasing cigar box labels and artwork.

Beautiful tobacco labels

I've had many people ask me where they can buy a copy of this catalog. Unfortunately it is very scarce and finding a copy is next to impossible, however there have been reproductions made. This is one of the reproductions available from Amazon.
