Egyptienne Straights Cigarettes
Posted By: Richard Dwyer
On page 142 in Alan Hagar's Comprehensive Price Guide to Rare Baseball cards 1886 to Present, it shows an Egyptienne Straights Cigarettes box. Can someone tell me what came in these boxes? I picked one up today cheap. |

The only item with that brand I know of is the B-18. |

If only cigarettes aged like wine, I'd have enough to get more T206's. |

I always found it amazing that something as substantial as a B-18 Blanket was actually sent along with a pack . Seems more like a send in and receive item . |

liked to promote Eqyptian (also Turkish, oriental, etc.) fine and exotic tobacco strains. A few of these products included card and silk series in or around their packs/boxes. Egyptienne Luxury, Melachrino, Schinasi, Zira, Eqyptian Prettiest, Mogul, Omega, and finally Egyptienne Straights (I'm sure there are others - all I could think of) come to mind. The Eqyptienne Straights are indeed the source of the blankets. I came across a drawer full early in my collecting days in an antique shop somewhere in Mass.. The blankets were still attached to the package in the manner previously described. Unfortunately I had little interest then - would LOVE to have one now. The only other tobacco insert/premium I know of associated with ES cigarettes is their T45 non-sport card set. There are still sufficient quantities to be had of the medium sized clam shell box in the marketplace. Certainly an under 50. box empty. |

I only bought the Alan Hagar book because of the info on tobacco boxes. Alan Hagar was a crook, and he ranks up there with Dick Giddings. Alan Hagar autographed my book, and the value has remained the same. Worth nothing. |

That is reassuring good news, Richard. Sounds to me you'll be safe looking in that book, since you know what it is. |
