Horma Black & White Cigar Case

A cigar tin. On the top is an illustration of a black man smoking a cigar with a caricatured bright red lips. The man wears a tuxedo with a flower pinned to his lapel. At the top of the box, the word "Bolknak" is printed in thin red-orange letters, matching the man's lips. Two inches from the bottom of the box, the word "Horma" appears in bold, art-deco red font, again the same colour as the man's lips. At the bottom is a black banner, on which is printed "Black & White" in white text. Around the tin's lid is a red-orange banner. The bottom of the box is gold coloured and worn. The box itself is quite flimsy and worn, and does not open or close easily.

Horma stands for Horst & Maas Sigaren. A sigar factory founded in 1904, and closed in 1953.
