As I was completing an investigation at a pharmacy today, the owner brought to my attention an old advertisement from the 30's for this location. Check out the "low" prices:

I bet you could think of a few "choice sticks" that you'd like to have at 7 cents each or 4 for 25 cents:=:

and those Owls just may have been made with good ol' Cuban tobacco back in those days possibly:dr

You will find an interesting article here indicating this:

Cuba was supplying tobacco to most of the manufacturers, in Tampa. After we moved to Tampa, up until the embargo, we used 100 percent Cuban tobacco.

However, Owl refers to the drug store and their advertisement...
