Benson & Hedges - London

mosesbotbol · 09-15-2014, 12:58 PM

Did Benson & Hedges of London make or sell cigars? They are "famous" for cigarettes, but recently saw a Dunhill humidor for sale that was branded Benson & Hedges inside. The detailed writing below it was too hard to read. Humidor could've been from the 1950's (pure guess).

Humidor does not necessarily mean cigars either I suppose???

That paper ad implied they imported the cigars. Not sure if they ever blended their own. Thats a very cool piece though!

I don't know one way or the other about cigars, but I have seen a few vintage B&H humidors before.
