For sale is an original 1910 JAMES MONROE AMERICAN PROTECTORATE CIGAR BOX LABEL. This cigar label features a picture of President Monroe and his infamous 1823 foreign policy proclamation to Congress. The Monroe Doctrine declared the Western Hemisphere off-limits to future European colonization and intervention, asserting U.S. opposition to any new European attempts to control or influence independent nations in the Americas, while promising U.S. non-interference in European affairs. The label measures 8 1/2 inches by 6 5/8 inches. Perfect for collectors of vintage cigar labels or history enthusiasts, this item serves as a tangible piece of American political history.
New old stock cigar labels are around because cigar factories often had extra labels on hand since if you didn’t have labels on hand for your boxes you couldn’t sell your cigars.
