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?

Mine was very similar to this one.

This was filled with seashells when I found it.

"The original cigar, introduced by the Bayuk brothers[3] in 1910, was named the "Philadelphia Hand Made" and often shortened by the smoking public to "Phillies", a nickname that eventually became the brand name.[4] Phillies sizes include Black Max, Blunt, Cheroot, Cigarillo, Mexicali Slim, Mini Blunt, Panatella, Perfecto, Sweet, Tip, Titan and Phillies Finest."

Phillies Blunt flavors include banana, berry, chocolate aroma, coffee, coconut, cognac, greene de menthe, honey, mango, peach, piña colada, rum, sambuca, sour apple, strawberry, sweet vanilla, sugar, tequila, watermelon, grape, and cinnamon. Barrel O' Blunt cigars are Phillies Blunts packaged in 50-pack "barrels".
