Few venues of the 1920s were as famous as Madison Square Garden, and this advertisement ties a cigar brand to that world with the line "Tonight's Favorite Is Cinco." The wording suggests a message aimed at fans who had come to watch hockey, a sport that found a large audience in New York after the Garden opened in 1925. Tobacco makers of the period often bought space in sports settings, hoping a cigar would become part of the excitement of a night out. It is worth noticing how the copy presents the cigar as a social choice, something a fan might pick up alongside the game.
