A complete original vintage cigar box from the golden age of imported premium long-filler cigars. A prized find for collectors of mid-century tobacco ephemera, cigar enthusiasts and vintage memorabilia seekers.
An original, completely empty Cerdan Gable 25 cigar box produced by Caribbean Tobacco Corp and imported from the Dominican Republic. This is a genuine 1970s example — a period when imported premium handmade long-filler cigars were sold in these beautifully branded cardboard boxes with Spanish tax seals.
The box displays the distinctive blue heraldic Cerdan crest on the lid, flanked by the original side labels marked '25 Gable'. Two Spanish Monopolio de Tabaco de Espana tax seals remain on the exterior corners — an authentic detail that confirms the vintage provenance and Spanish regulatory history of this import.
The interior is clean and complete: original cream paper lining fully intact, Caribbean Tobacco Corp crest printed inside the lid, no significant staining. All joins are sound, the box is structurally perfect, and every label remains legible and in place — exactly what serious collectors seek.
This box shows honest age-related wear typical of a 1970s cigar box stored for decades. The cardboard exterior displays subtle toning, light soiling, and gentle wear to the edges and corners. There is some fraying and minor lifting at the corner joins — a natural consequence of vintage cardboard construction and time. The two Spanish tax seals show wear and partial separation at the edges. The lid and side labels retain some creasing and age spotting, entirely consistent with a genuine 1970s-era piece.
Despite these cosmetic signs of age, the box is fully intact, structurally sound and completely usable. It is ideal for display, light storage, or repurposing by collectors and crafters. The interior lining is clean with no damage, making it suitable for gentle use.
