This advertisement for the “Beauty” Bower cigar, found in the Daily Free Press, June 3, 1881 [1], from Bodie, California doesn’t seem to hold true to its name. If this is what the smokers looked like “after”, I’d hate to see the “before”. I wonder if 19th century travelers to the region where confronted with signs stating, “Beware of non-smokers!”.
