The Reccius item was way before T206 just posted as another example.
However the cigars with the Wagner image and bands...is around the same time.
Seems odd don't buy it...seems like a nice spin. Times were simple then but not so that people didn't spin things to cover bigger issues. If you have an issue with kids smoking and your fear is kids will do what their idol does...why endorse smokes of any type???
Sort of like having an issue with adult films and only staring in ones filmed in B&W but boycotting the color ones...
Even years later Wagner's convictions seem to be troubled at best..unless we are to assume he's enjoying beef jerky..mmmm
