Jamie...
The word cigarette is used on the back of the Drum Granulated Tobacco rolling papers pack.

If this wasn't a type of cigarette then why does it say cigarette?...and how can there be Drum Gruanulated Tobacco cigarette papers if it's not used for cigarettes?

I'm definitely not questioning Jon's years of research and time. I've visited his website quite a bit and I've found it to be the best reference spot on the internet cigarette cards/packs. Not too long ago, I had a question about an Old Judge box that I've had in my collection...I went to his website and then I came here!

I'm just having trouble understanding the why not's because...if there weren't Drum tobacco pouches around I wouldn't question this. If the Drum 206's weren't yellowed like the lettering on Polar Bear cards I wouldn't question this. If there was just one known example of a Drum Cigarette box from the 20th century let alone 1910 I wouldn't question this...but there isn't!

And if one ever shows up, I'd venture to say it'll be worth a lot more than the estimated value given on the website!
