The title promises "the first nines segars" made from the best Vuelta Abajo leaf, a reference to the district in western Cuba whose tobacco was prized above all others in the nineteenth century. The piece was issued by F. Heppenheimer & Co., a New York cigar firm with a shop on North William Street, in 1867, when cigar making was a major business in the city. The word "nines" likely plays on the baseball team, a "nine," which explains why the gallery groups it with the sport's prints.
