They are the same. The front on yours is not showing, and on mine the ends are not visible.

In the late 1950's I used to keep all of my baseball cards in a cigar box. The inside cover had half of a plastic baseball stuck to the cover. The cigar brand was Phillies. Was the cigar named after the baseball team in Philadelphia?

AS a Canadian I could always identify American cigarettes because of their Turkish tobacco content, compared to ours which were 100 percent Virginia tobacco, although grown in Ontario. The aroma was distinctly different . Jimb.The true American combo. Black coffee and Camel unfiltered! : Cigarettes

The Trichy cigar connection between Sherlock Holmes, Alfred Hitchcock and more
"Prime Minister Narendra Modi defended the contentious farm laws in the Lok Sabha, stressing that “change and reforms are essential for the progress of every modern society”. Interestingly, he also mentioned CAA, or Churchill Cigar Assistant, a post that existed during then British Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s regime and persisted for decades after India’s independence. The role of the CAA was to procure the finest cigars from Tamil Nadu’s Trichy and ensure that they made their way to the Prime Minister’s residence in London."

What is the Trichinopoly cigar?
"The Trichinopoly cigar is said to be coarse and rough, but widely loved by aficionados. The tobacco used in the cigars was mostly from the neighbouring towns of Dindigul and Karur in Tamil Nadu, but some of it came from outside the state as well, including from West Bengal and as far as Cuba. Once the tobacco was procured, the makers would then ferment it in distilled fruit. With jaggery and honey added to the mix in particular proportions, the cigar had a unique Indian flavour, different from their Cuban and Dominican counterparts."
