JeffHi Leon,
It could be that these Cigars where so bad that no one wanted to hit a home run back in the early days for fear of getting 50 of them. In the same book I mentioned above there is a picture of a large ad on the left field wall for Turkey Red Cigars and a different ad for La Azora Cigars on the right center field wall that is from 1911. With all of the other tobacco companies of that time making cards it makes you wonder why this company didn't. The reason for advertising in Detroit at that time makes sense because of Detroit being near or at the top of the standings for a few years.
