Coleccionismo de Vitolas

This is a link to the personal webpage of cigar band collector Adolfo Otaola Carrera
of Madrid, Spain. The text is in Spanish. The pages focus on European "series" cigar
bands and display a selection of cigar bands from his own collection. He has expanded
a collection that he inherited from his father and which was started by his grandfather.

Cigar Label Junkie

Chip Brooks has a passion for cigar label art and his website provides excellent
scanned images as well as a good amount of background history and information.
Beware however, the site is graphics-intensive and does require a relatively current
browser. If you are restricted to a 28K or 56K dial-up connection it will be a slow ride.

Homepage of Gerard van Eijk

The homepage of a Dutch collector of cigar bands, with a focus on European
cigar bands. He has expanded a cigar band collection begun by his father.
Worth a visit as an introduction to European collectors. He also provides
addresses and contacts for several cigar band collectors' clubs in Europe.

National Cigar Museum

An online museum devoted to cigar-related history, memorabilia,
art, and culture. The museum curator is Tony Hyman, noted scholar
and historian of the cigar industry in Cuba, the U.S. and Canada.
