Habanos2000 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I say 1955 on the Shell logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Presidente Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 I say 1955 on the Shell logo. Spot on ...and who designed that logo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habanos2000 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Spot on ...and who designed that logo? I believe a Mr. Graham. Came from his family's coat of arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asmith Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Spot on ...and who designed that logo? That is about the right time and according to the Official Shell line 1955 is correct. However I believe it is slightly earlier about 1951-52 the reason for that is the number of flutes on the shell. The base of the logo on the cigar band has 10 flutes where the 1955 logo only has 6, which I feel is a later development of the design. However I will have to go home tonight and go through my design books to confirm this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archosaur Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Good stuff. I've never really taken a close look at that El Rey del Mundo artwork before. Kind of strange, but cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stalebread Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Pretty amazing stuff. Isn't there a term for cigar box art? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stalebread Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 just answered my own question. Looked in the Rius book The Great Habano Factories where he uses the term "trimmings." That's what I was thinking of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PADDYWHACK121272 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I love those customized / company cigar bands - does anyone know if such a thing exists today? - got me to thinking that i'd buy a box of these.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nedule Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I love those customized / company cigar bands - does anyone know if such a thing exists today? - got me to thinking that i'd buy a box of these.... I don't know about customized Cuban bands, but when I was in the Bahamas last year, I visited the Graycliff cigar factory & they do customized bands, don't know what they charge for it but the regular cigar aren't cheap, average price $20 US/stick. http://www.graycliff.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info Nedule, looks like a great spot - Oh for the glory days when a companies like Shell or Mercedes Benz would commission these - I presume they were for the top dogs or maybe for passing out to customers/clients? all very Madmen...
