Description: Offered here is an authentic Hershey Cigars 50‑count box from Factory No. 942, 1st District of Pennsylvania, produced in Mount Joy, PA during the late 1930s to early 1950s. This visually striking box features the classic “The Cigar for Today” inside‑lid artwork, 10¢ price mark, and “Blended with Havana” slogan typical of mid‑century domestic Havana‑seed cigars.
The bottom panel retains its full federal tax notice, including the designation that these cigars were manufactured to retail at more than 4¢ and not more than 6¢ each, confirming its original tax class. The exterior shows the distinctive blue border with repeating Hershey script — a regional Pennsylvania cigar brand not related to Hershey Chocolate, but highly collectible due to name crossover and strong graphic appeal.
Condition: Clean, well‑preserved graphics with excellent color retention. Structurally sound with expected light age wear. A strong example for tobacciana collectors, Pennsylvania history enthusiasts, or crossover Hershey memorabilia collectors.
