Murad Cigarette Box
Murad Cigarette Box
- Description
- This clam shell cigarette box contained cigarettes made by P. Lorillard Tobacco Company. Lorillard employed “Oriental” themes in their advertising of Murad to emphasize the Turkish roots of the tobacco blend. Advertising at the time tried to capture Eastern-inspired fashion trends – drenching images in the colors and themes of the East to evoke a luxurious and exotic feel.
