1930?  Cigar box "Aesop."  $20 from an unknown source on Ebay, Feb., '90.

Finding this cigar box was one of the biggest surprises I have had in collecting.  Equally surprising is that I have never heard another whisper of "Aesop" cigars.  Not a peep!  What might Aesop have to do with cigars?  By the way, this may be the handsomest Aesop I have seen.  He is certainly not the "human turnip" of the popular lives of Aesop.
