Pardon me for this modification, ole buddy. It's my opinion that the 1910 "COUPON" cigarettes were never in the standard ATC cigarette packs.
They were distributed in cartons of 500 - 1000 loose cigarettes (tightly packed). These cartons can be identified by the label.... "COUPON" Cigarettes.

As, I'm sure you know, the carton you have displayed is for the T213-2, or T213-3 issues (circa 1914-1919)....as the "Liggett & Myers Tobacco Co." label implies.


Here is a similar carton............


Scott B.......thanks for this RAMLY carton.

Ted - Interesting theory. I'll bite. What makes you think they were packed in cartons instead of packs ? JJ
