Cigar postcards

[UPTOWNSMOKE]

Found this spectacular postcard online. Would love this car to be my daily driver.
The Pinterest werbsite says the late 1930s card is from Merchants Cigar & Candy Co. of Fort Lauderdale. Santa's 2 wingmen, who look fantastic, do not seem dressed for Fort Lauderdale, even in December. There is a Hav-A-Tampa window sign and what appears to be a shoe scraper on the sidewalk.

Those guys look like they're connected and are holding Santa hostage. Look at the expression on his face.

Keep em coming @bripper

Santa Claus is having a fantastic Christmas, drinking champagne and smoking a cigar in a cornucopia of nuts, fruits and money bags in this circa 1910 embossed holiday postcard.
Happiest of holidays to all!

Just realized I had let this thread run dormant for a couple of years. Here is a Christmas postcard circa 1905.
Happy holidays to the cigar brethren!

Mid-1900s chromo postcard of the office at the Bliss Hotel in Bluffton IN.
If this was my office, I would never go home.

A wonderful 1939 Curteich linen postcard of a Panama City, Panama street scene. Avenida Central has people, cool cars, airbrushed utilities and a fantastic cigar store sign.

This embossed 1904 German postcard shows a box of La Victoria cigars, a box of wooden matches, a bottle of wine and holiday swag. Got enough smokes to last the night.

Those La Victorias are very strange looking! What is the white thing at one end?

Have been searching my files for a post card pertinent to the Super Bowl in Miami. But could not find a cigar postcard from Miami. Not even a street scene showing a cigar store. This pair will have to suffice -- an aerial linen card, circa 1940, of the Port of Miami, showing a seaplane and the Goodyear blimp, and a wonderful interior of a soda fountain at the E.B. Douglas Store, circa 1915. Looks like a swell spot to chill, drink a soda and have a smoke.
