Doing a little research there was very little to find on the red dot label. I did find a picture of one of there trucks and a little excerpt on Red Dot's. Here's an exerpt:

The giant Federal Cigar Co., Inc., with branches in Red Lion, Franklintown, Wrightsville, and York, created the popular and “Truly Different” RED DOT, a cigar that was “Sweet and mild” and “Clear to the lips,” whatever that meant. The Company gave retailers a 3-foot long cardboard cigar similar to the six-footer atop their delivery vehicles.
