Cigar Box Label, Garcia y Vega, La Flor, Napoleon Cigars, Inner Label, Embossed & Gilded Chromolithograph, NOS, Made in USA, Vintage, 1930s

Gold leaf. Embossing. Full color lithography. And it was designed to line the inside of a cigar box.

This is an original La Flor de Garcia y Vega inner cigar box label — a 1930s chromolithograph from the golden age of cigar label design, produced for the Garcia y Vega Cigar Company of New York. A young woman in fine clothing — a delicate lace collar, a gold hair comb — stands in a sunlit park carving the initials G y V 1882 into a tree, while figures stroll by in the background. The scene is framed by embossed gold flowers, green leaves, and G y V crests. Marked La Flor de Garcia y Vega, Fine Cigars Since 1882. The upper edge notes this was a label for a box of Napoleon cigars. Beautifully glossy, heavily embossed and gilded — a genuinely romantic piece of commercial art. One available.

New Old Stock, never used, mint condition. Age-appropriate yellowing on the reverse only — the face is vivid and pristine.

Frame it for a study, a library, a bar, or anywhere that appreciates exceptional commercial art with a romantic sensibility. At 9.0 by 7.0 inches it fits a standard 10x8 or 9x7 frame beautifully.

A wonderful gift for a tobacciana collector, a cigar aficionado, a Garcia y Vega collector, or anyone who appreciates the golden age of American chromolithographic printing.

Garcia y Vega Cigar Co. was founded in New York in 1882 by Asturian immigrant Alvaro Garcia Longo, with José Vega joining as partner in 1884. The company grew to own numerous brands, eventually moving operations to Tampa, Florida where they built a now-historic building in 1908. Garcia y Vega still makes cigars today in West Tampa, FL — making this 1930s label a piece of a genuinely living brand history.
