Thanks for the "visuals"....your pictures are prettier than mine.

Yes, I have researched my "A-B-C-D" connection (American Beauty-Broad Leaf-Cycle-Drum) quite extensively.
And, I think it provides support for the existence of a DRUM cigarette pack. As I have speculated in the above
post, the DRUM brand of cigarettes was very short-lived (perhaps an experimental product such as the Ty Cobb
Smoking Tobacco).

The American Tobacco Co.....at the end of 1910 and the beginning of 1911.....was in a transitional state due to
its impending break-up. And, this fact is reflected by the scarcity of certain T-brands and their respective T206
cards. T206 examples given......
