c. 1920s-1930s; San Luis Cigar Company - Tampa, FL
Colorful lithographed tin advertising sign promoting "Tampa Straights" cigars, featuring a bold graphic of an open cigar box with neatly arranged cigars and period branding throughout. The design centers around the San Luis Cigar Co. mark, flanked by repeated "Tampa Straights" border text and a prominent "5¢" price point, anchoring it firmly in early 20th-century tobacco retail culture. Strong red and cream color blocking frames the composition, while the large "TAMPA STRAIGHTS" lettering dominates the lower half above the slogan "Clean Cool Smoke." The imagery reflects the golden era of Tampa cigar production, when the city was a major hub of American cigar manufacturing driven by Cuban and Spanish influence.
