One of the most famous cigar smokers and writers ever! Even though he had lived in New York for decades before he earned his nickname "Duke of Paducah," he still had a strong connection to his Kentucky heritage. This guy, besides a cigar label, had a warship in WWII named after him, and also the Illinois Central Railroad named a passenger train after him that went through his hometown after the war. Neat history of this American icon here
Imagine hanging this over 100-year-old antique advertising on your wall as home decor in any room!

This item has reached full antique status.
