More in my Cigar Icon series: Earliest known photo (1863) of James Butler "Wild Bill" Hickok with a lit cigar in one hand and a revolver in the other. He would have been in Springfield, Missouri then. I used to work on the public Square where a famous shootout took place the same year. He likely smoked Cubans at the poker table - which were in high demand, according to cigar historian Iain Gately. The stamp is US Scott #2869o from 1994. #cigars #cigarhistory #cubans #cubancigars19thcentury #cigaricon #colt1851navy #philately #usstamps #wildbillhickok #sdhistory (at Deadwood, South Dakota) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpcbZmGOlko/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
