Vintage Cigar Boxes and Tins Collection
This lot comprises a collection of vintage cigar boxes and tins, primarily featuring the brand Ramon Allones. The collection includes several boxes in varying sizes and designs, showcasing classic lithographic artwork depicting Cuban scenes and branding. Alongside the cigar boxes are a selection of antique tobacco tins, including examples of “The Greys” and “Silk Cut Virginia”, alongside vintage matchbooks, offering a glimpse into the history of tobacco packaging and advertising.
Condition and Collectibility
The condition of the boxes and tins varies, with signs of age, wear, and handling consistent with their vintage. Some boxes exhibit minor creasing, scuffs, and fading, while the tins may show some rust or dents. Despite these imperfections, the collection remains highly desirable for collectors of tobacco memorabilia, vintage packaging, and Cuban history. The inclusion of vintage matchbooks adds to the appeal, offering a complete snapshot of a bygone era of smoking culture.
