Description

Postcard depicting a man rolling cigars. The description on the verso reads, 'Romantic old Key West is one of the few cities in the United States where the art of hand made cigars is still practised [sic]. This almost forgotten art has been handed down from the cigar makers that plied their trade in Havana, just across the Straits of Florida from Key West. The fine cigars that are made in Key West are sent all over the globe as well as the United States.'
