Old Kings Taste Cigar Co

[Eagle53]

I was looking at some antique ashtrays and I saw one that was very ornately designed. The ashtray had a seal on it that said Old Kings Taste Cigar Co. on it. I am sure that there are hundreds of cigar companies that went boom and bust over the years but has anybody heard of this one? I cant really find any information online but I figured there was a chance that there is a cigar historian or two on this site.

Any ideas?

They mention King's Taste Cigar factory in this book from NY printed in 1909.
Here is the link to the cover.

Hope that at least helps in someway.

Wow I really hope you didn't spend much time looking for that. I bet someone could write and sell a coffee table book that goes through the history of cigar factories in America.

Maybe like 10 mins. I like to play with Google.

Next time your looking for info try putting it in quotes.
