Help Identifying These Cuban Cigar Cards (Non-Sport)

[Archive]

Hi there:

I am looking into purchasing this album of 272 Cuban cigar cards, but I do not know anything about them and am having difficulty locating any information on them. Can anyone on this board help me identify these cards? Any help would be greatly appreciated. The only thing I have been able to find thus far is that they were produced in Trinidad De Cuba and feature silent movie stars, bathing belles, risque models and portraits. Below are a couple of photos I was able obtain from the individual selling them. Sorry they aren't the best photos.

Thanks again!

One of many Cuban card issues featuring showgirls and/or actors and actresses. No baseball players in this one that I know of.

The issuer is Trinidad y Hno. "Hno" is short for "Hermanos" which is Spanish for "brothers." Trinidad and Brothers would be the English translation.

This was one of the major tobacco companies in Cuba from the 1920's through the 1950's.
