Has anyone identified a date for the introduction of Mark Twain Cigars?
Boxes dated 1909 and 1910 are common, as are comments that the cigars were
marketed in the 1880s.  In his ALS review for 2001, Alan Gribben mentions
an illustration in the Ken Burns book showing an 1877 MT Cigars boxtop--the
earliest date I've seen, but hard to authenticate.
Thanks,
