The artist for this cigar label is Zim Zimmerman.
"Eugene Zimmerman (1862 - 1935), forever known by the block scrawl signature ZIM, was the developer of the Grotesque school of caricature and one of the nation's most respected and original cartoonists of the late nineteenth century. His caricatures depicted the foibles of mankind, exaggerated them, twisted and distorted the portrayal of their subjects - and tore into the soul of America. The biting humor of his cartoons sharpened the sting of their social and political messages.
During his career, ZIM worked for both Puck, in the leading American humor magazine, and Judge, which eventually surpassed Puck in circulation and influence. A prolific and energetic artist, ZIM also did formal portraiture, wrote newspaper and magazine articles, drew a newspaper comic strip, illustrated books, created a cartoonist correspondence course, and was the founder and first president of the American Association of Cartoonists and Caricaturists. In addition to the demands of his career, ZIM was unfailingly generous with his time and talent, and donated hundreds of drawings and posters to community organizations."
