Dedicated to the collection of "figural" tobacco jars and the proliferation of information about these jars.
Most of these jars were made around the turn of the century in Central and Eastern Europe.
A non-commercial website presenting an online exhibition of
antique cigar bands from the "Golden Age" of cigar advertising that flourished between the 1890s and 1920s.
The cigars themselves long ago went up in smoke, but the bands are presented here for your viewing pleasure.
The museum contains scanned images of over 1,000 different vintage cigar bands, as well as information on
cigar band history and collecting.
