ANTIQUE FLOR DEL MUNDO 1890 FULL BOX OF CIGARS
The base of the box the tax seal is signed Jus. M. Henderson who served as City Clerk of Tampa Florida from 1890 to 1907, the box states Factory 154 district of Florida, Tax Series 122 stamp, inside are 12 cigars each a different type labeled on each cigar Flor Del Mundo, they are wrapped in a Celluloid wrap and covered with a nailed Celluloid cover. It is our understanding this material was not readily available at the time, the cigars are very old and have fermented in the wrapping, they are a perfect fit to the box, so age is indeterminate to the cigars, perhaps the early 1920's, they have a very pleasant smell, these were original stock at the Vendetta Cigar Store , which was located in the Fairmont Hotel San Francisco, well known for selling Pre Embargo cigars and vintage/Antique cigars, we consider this a very rare grouping, cigars are 4 1/2 to 6 inches.
