Garcia Grande Display - Electric Cigar Lighter

You just entered - The Garcia Grande Cigar Display Gallery. You'll also see some nice advertising to go along with the electric lighter display, and cigar counter top display. Enjoy.

Featuring - from the 1930's, vintage Garcia Grande tin cigar counter display, with electric lighter. This is called a combination display unit. It was the property of Garcia Grande Cigars Inc. out of New York City, New York. The unit was made by the Brunhoff Mgf. Co. out of Cincinnati, Ohio. Cigar shops would have this on a counter top, selling only, Garcia Grande cigars in the unit.

The display unit is good shape, with a working lighter, (seen below). It does have some light rust on the bottom, and a few marks on the sides. No dents on the unit as well. The unit could hold two boxes of cigars. You could add a second box on the back. To light your cigar, you would pull/hold down the toggle switch on the right, hold the head of the cigar against the lighter part on the left to light your cigar. The display unit is 9" wide x 9 3/4" deep x 8 1/2" high, at the highest point. The cord is also in good condition, and is over 9 feet long.

On the left is a 1930's or 40's store poster, advertising the Garcia Grande Corona cigar. The poster is 11 inches by 18 inches, with glue strips on the back. I found two of these together, the poster I have here is in the better shape of the two. Just a great find in this condition!

This is why it's hard to stop collecting. You find something you really like, and you keep adding more and more that relates to the main piece! Even the advertising, which sometimes, is harder to find.

Here's another find. Garcia Grande cigar credit/sales slip from 1934. Another paper item that's in good shape. See below.

Working Garcia Grande electric lighter

I have added another display to my Garcia Grande collection. 1930's or early 40's Garcia Grande cigar counter display, with a humidor in the back to keep the cigars fresh. Has a glass cover over the boxes with no cracks or chips, also has a glass cover on the top. The display box is made of tin, and it's painted to look like wood, which is real nice condition.

You will notice is has - Property of J. Klorfein, New York City on the back of this display case. He was the president of Garcia Grande. These were placed in cigar and smoke shops, plus other retail outlets.

This display is 19 x 10 1/2 inches, and 15 1/4 inches high. Holds three boxes of cigars.

Has a place to add a humidor, and a lever at the bottom to lock the case.

Here's a hard to find Garcia Grande cigar box, for the 'Babies 50' brand cigars. 8 1/2" long x 4 1/4" wide x 2 1/2" deep. Still in good shape!

1930's-40's Garcia Grande tip tray. 6 inches by 4 inches, made of metal.

Garcia Grande

This is only the third Garcia Grande display unit I have seen, and the only one that worked. The other two didn't work, and both was missing one or two of the feet on the bottom, and not in the best of condition. One was for sale for $299.00 in good condition. The other one sold for around $150.00 and in bad condition. The Garcia Grande cigar box is also hard to find in any condition.

Cigar Punch Board

Garcia Grande Tool

Here's a nice find to go with this display gallery. Garcia Grande advertising cigar box opener, nail puller, nail hammer/tamper and bottle opener. 4 1/2" long.

Side Note

This counter stand with lighter, is pictured on page 165 of "Antique Cigar Cutters & Lighters" By Jerry Terranova & Douglas Congdon-Martin. So one can say, it has some history behind it.

Also, the instruction sheet is still with the display. Shows how this would look with two boxes of cigars, and has the instructions on how to replace the heating coil.

Since this isn't in a cigar store now, I can display any kind of cigars boxes with the display. I added some more photos... with cigars and the real deal.

The top cigar box in the Garcia Grande tin display unit, is an inside view of the Garcia Grande cigar box, the bottom cigar box is Garcia & Bros Queen cigars. These were cigar dealers dummy displays boxes. I also have a Garcia Vega Roosevelts cigar box with the dummy cigars. Both can be hard to find in good condition.

NOTE: I finally found the Garcia Grande cigar box for this display. Has a 1934 stamp on it. Very cool.
