Tampa Florida 1950 Havatampa Cigar Company Tobacco Letterhead - 8.5 x 11

This 1950 business letterhead from Havatampa Cigar Company documents the mid-century American tobacco industry and the long-standing cigar manufacturing tradition centered in Tampa, Florida.

Tampa became one of the most important cigar manufacturing centers in the United States during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, particularly through the development of the Ybor City cigar trade. Companies such as Havatampa helped establish the city’s reputation for premium cigar production by blending Cuban-inspired branding with large-scale American manufacturing and distribution networks. Corporate letterheads from tobacco firms provide valuable insight into postwar business communication practices, regional industrial identity, and the commercial design aesthetics used by major manufacturers during the period.

The item itself features a full-size typed business letter on Havatampa Cigar Company stationery dated June 18th, 1950. Bold blue masthead typography identifies the company as manufacturers of Hava-Tampa Cigars with Tampa, Florida prominently displayed beneath. The correspondence concerns credit and inventory arrangements between business associates, preserving authentic period commercial language and office communication practices. Original typed text, period formatting, and ink signature remain clearly visible throughout the document, while the reverse preserves additional company printing associated with the stationery issue.
