A smiling man in a crisp collar and waistcoat is the centerpiece of this cigar label, which carries the brand name "New Pleasure" in bold lettering across its face. Printed labels like this were pasted onto cigar boxes and bundles in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when tobacco makers competed for attention on crowded shop shelves. Companies often paired catchy names with cheerful portraits to suggest good company and everyday comfort, so the label tells us as much about how cigars were sold as about the man pictured. Its placement on a board of gentlemen's subjects reflects that marketing link to leisure and social life.
