✨ Wizard at work in gold and smoke
Original Wizard inner cigar‑box label from the 1910s, a large, richly embossed stone‑lithographed sheet about 10 x 6 1/2 inches.
It shows a robed wizard with wand raised, drawing golden tobacco leaves up from bundled bales while a black cat watches, framed by shimmering gold embossing on his robe and the bold WIZARD title.

🪄 Why collectors chase Wizard
Wizard‑and‑black‑cat imagery is one of the most recognizable themes in cigar box art, and this design appears in dedicated cigar‑label price guides and dealer catalogs as a desirable subject.
Large inner labels like this were the “showpiece” inside the lid, meant to stop a buyer in their tracks with color, embossing, and that little bit of magic.

🎨 Real golden‑age printing
Early 1900s cigar labels were printed by master lithographers using many separate stones to build up color and shading, then finished with heavy embossing and metallic bronzing.
Top houses sometimes used real gold or bronze leaf in the gilding, which is why these labels still catch the light more than a century later.
