This Planet cigar label stands out for its two men and the anchor and "B.L." devices in its corners, which suggest a decorative scheme built around maritime or respectable imagery. Cigar labels like this were usually color lithographs, pasted onto boxes and bundles to identify the brand and attract buyers in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Many showed well-dressed men at leisure, a choice that tied smoking to ideas of sociability and refinement. The corner marks are worth a closer look, since they were often printer's or brand signatures that help date a label and trace where it was made.
