Cigar labels like this one were printed to be pasted on boxes, so the image had to catch a buyer's eye from across a tobacco shop counter. Here the "Regular Fellows" brand name sits alongside a scene of men gathered at a dinner table with their cigars, a domestic-leisure setting that suggested the smoke was part of a comfortable, respectable evening. Chromolithographed labels of this kind were a popular form of commercial art in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and their sentimental and social scenes often say as much about the buyers they targeted as about the cigars themselves.
