Old Cigar art / advertisment

[boom]

I have had this item for over 13yrs now and am going to be hanging it in the Cave.... Problem is I don't know much about this... I got this as a gift from a former employer of mine, he was a collector or art from around the world... We shared many cigars together... guess that is why he passed it along to me...



I have found a little info that it was an old cigar advertisement from Belgium


It is hand-painted on glass with gold foil...

markings on front...

Energos Cigars

A.Contamine Co. Anvers

on back

La Marmographine
societe anonyme

Bruxelles Tel 5078
Manufature de Tableaux - Reclames
Cadres

what appears on the back....

Very cool Troy.

Now the texts you sent me earlier make sense - I never received a picture with the pages so I had no idea what you were talking about.

Not sure I can add anything, but Belgium was known for importing Cuban Leaf and making good cigars. So if they are old, they may be Clear Havana's and have a chance of being good. I've had some good ones from there, but most were very mild.

Good luck
