Straiton & Storms Owl Cigar reminds up how popular the "5 cent" cigar was in this country's history.
"By the early 19th century, the cigar industry was booming and factories around the world were employing workers who spent day and night hand rolling cigars. By the 1800s cigars were so popular that in a report it was detailed 127 private apartments in New York City alone were operating home-run cigar manufacturing businesses.
By the beginning of the 1900s, there were more than 80,000 cigar manufacturers in the US alone, the majority of them family run." (from (
