    I am just not skilled enough to produce a complete image. I've tried stuff but no success. This hinged cardboard woodgrain cigar box is basically 8x5x1. There is a bluish Canadian sticker on it that can't be seen in the photo. It's torn but "Issue of 1960" and a quantity of 25 are clearly visible. I tried checking Tony Hyman's museum and found nothing on the brand. My own research has provided me with the name of a cigar shop in Edmonton Alberta, Canada that went by HUB Cigars after turn of the 20th century. The store did close eventually and someone tried to reopen it but I believe health problems caused owner to close again. I'm thinking this box is from that store unless HUB is a brand name someone else held. I'm not interested in value, just information if anyone can help provide. Thanks ....Jim

      The blue stamp may reflect the issue date of the stamp and have nothing to do with the item it is on except for tax. HUB Tobacco company is is located in Fenton, MO
