The increase in the popularity of cigar smoking was the inspiration for this stein. It is made of porcelain and has a deep-relief, figural design. The cigars themselves are all hand painted. Then, permanently fired gold transfer decorations are used to replicate the individual paper ring labels around each cigar and the wrapper around the bundle. The top of the stein is separately cast and mounted onto a pewter lid. Because the lid is hollow, the stein can also be used as a cigar holder! Limited edition of 5,000 pieces.
