I was perusing the newspapers (thanks Tim) and found this article mentioning "Hans Wagner" Cigars. See last paragraph. Thought it was interesting so I thought I would post.
The Ty Cobb tobacco remark seems to be a joke especially since I've seen another article announcing his tobacco brand in March of 1910 so this would be a bit premature for it to mean Ty Cobb Tobacco. Gainesville Daily Sun October 17, 1909 ![]() Last edited by Jaybird; 05-20-2011 at 09:58 AM. |

I think in this case the Wagner and Cobb "cigar brands" are being used more as a metaphor than actually referring to a specific brand named cigar.

I agree with you on the cobb being metaphor. Cobb (meaning pipe) goose-egg (meaning loser-zero).
But Hans Wagner did have a brand of cigars (see link) and to my thinking, the quotes around his name feels more like a brand reference than a metaphor. JMO http://www.robertedwardauctions.com/...n/2005/66.html Last edited by Jaybird; 05-20-2011 at 11:11 AM. |

97 was a good year for these cards
It's estimated as few as half a dozen copies have survived. Until Lifson came up with five more, that is. Lifson said that a non-collector in Georgia found the cards 10 years ago when going through some of his late grandfather's papers. He didn't realize their value until recently. http://www.sfgate.com:80/cgi-bin/exa...PORTS14253.dtl |
