AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Tin-oval advertising boards from the 1930s–40s bearing 'Stadhouder cigars'. Suitable for hanging or standing display.
The term "Stadhouder cigars" refers in tobacco history to the well-known Dutch cigar brand Willem II, which is explicitly named after the stadtholder Prince Willem II of Orange (1626–1650). The origin and history of these cigars can be summarized as follows: Origin: The brand was founded in 1916 in Valkenswaard (North Brabant) by tobacco manufacturer Harry (Hendrik) Kersten. Valkenswaard and the surrounding Kempen region were then known as the center of the Dutch cigar industry. Nomenclature: As a tribute to the Dutch royal house and national history, Kersten chose to name his cigars after the historical stadtholder Willem II. The cigars were known for their distinctive bright-red boxes, small boxes, and belly bands. Production: In its heyday (the 1930s to the 1970s), Willem II grew into one of the largest and most modern cigar producers in the world, with thousands of employees in factories in, among other places, Valkenswaard and Reusel.
