The name Whip & Bridle points to riding gear, and this cigar box label places a horse's head at its center. Cigar makers in the late 1800s and early 1900s often printed labels as color lithographs, and horses suggested leisure, sport, and quality to buyers. Because boxes were usually discarded once empty, labels like this one survive as a record of how tobacco was sold to ordinary customers.
