Part of the cigar stamp is on top of the area of paper loss, so this stamp was added later on. Most to all such areas of paper loss on T206s happened long after the cards left the factory and cigarette packs. Also noteworthy is that the Sweet Caporal printing is missing in the area of paper loss, showing that the Sweet Caporal printing came first (as a T206 collector would expect). In short, chronological order is Sweet Caporal printing, then paper loss, then cigar stamp.
