This was the brainchild of Arch Ward, then sports editor for the Chicago Tribune. The cigar smoker was asked to purchase his favorite league's cigar to show his support for the team of his choice! This set beautifully doubled matted in rich linen and black and includes a plaque with background information on the labels. Regularly priced at 499 it is on sale for a limited time only at 420.
