Muriel Cigars
got their start in the early 1900's. The company had used a proprietary blend of tobacco and wrapping leaves to create such popular brands as the Coronella, the Magnum and the Muriel Little Cigars. The company became known for the mysterious lady on its label and the sweet flavor of its products.  By 1959, the Muriel Cigars brand had started to fall on some tough times, and was sold to Consolidated Cigars. It was the best thing that could have happened to the brand.   Muriel Cigars became part of a very aggressive advertising campaign which saw the product being enjoyed by celebrities all over the world. Consolidated Cigars used magazine ads, billboards and some very popular television commercials to get Muriel Cigars across to the American public.
And
Muriel cigars
were made famous  by the popular singer and actress,
Edie Adams
(and wife of comedian Ernie Kovacs.) She popularized these
cigars with her famous taglines such as “Why don't you pick one up and smoke it sometime?” and "Hey, big spender, spend a little dime with me."
Adams' Muriel television commercials became some of the most popular commercials of the era.
These days they are more expensive, but they represent a piece of American history that is well worth the price. This is the cigar that America grew up with and it remains one of the most popular brands of cigars in the United States today.
And to be sure this "Early 1900s Muriel Cigar Tin Humidor Box" is a very rare and quite wonderful example a cigar tin of the time, and would be a fantastic addition to any 20th century era collection!!!
