Description from the seller

• History: This indicates that the creator of the collage used labels from the prestigious Manila tobacco industry in the Philippines (which was one of the main producing and exporting regions of high-quality cigars in the late 19th century, under Spanish colonial administration and later American).
-Second Corner (Right Detail)
• Brand and Region: It contains a very famous lithographed label with the founder's name "G. & B. HANEWACKER", the text "NORDHÄUSER" and the word "KAUTABAK".
