Peck's Bad Boy Cigars

Peck's Bad Boy Cigars utilized the Bad Boy, His Pa and several other characters for advertising their cigars. As of this time I have seen blotters, cards, a booklet and an envelope.

There were 15 different cards and 15 different blotters. The souvenir booklet shown below includes 15 vignettes. Each card/blotter on its reverse has a different short tale about Peck's Bad Boy or one of the characters he associated with.

The cards are numbered based on the order they are found within the book. The cards and blotters have no numbers. But I will use this numbering for displaying them.

CIGAR BOXES:

I have seen three cigar boxes that highlight Peck’s Bad Boy.

This cigar box is the one that went with the set of cards noted above. A picture of the booklet is pasted onto the inside cover of the box.
8.75” x 5”

Harris & Balkeley
I know nothing about this cigar company. Interestingly the box has the picture on the top of the box and inside the box of “His Pa is 'Nitiated”. This illustration is on card #7 as seen above. It is therefore likely that these cigars were part of the Peck’s Bad Boy card promotion. This item is probably from the 1880's.

Peck's Bad Boy Cardinals
This box appears to be generic except for the Peck’s Bad Boy name. “Boîte Nature” refers to the type of cedar box the cigars came in. No date has been established.
