Pocket 10 Packs A National Cigar Museum Exhibit © Tony Hyman http://cigarhistory.info/Tin_box_types/Pocket_Packs.html The 10/5 Pocket Pack was introduced in 1910, when the law was changed to allow ordinary size cigars to be packed 10 in a box (like little cigars). A 10/5 is a box of 10, two rows deep with 5 cigars in the top row, by far the most common way of packing 10 cigars. Most popular 1910-1940. Most pocket packs were lithographed on tin, but a few paper labels have been found. The ad was placed in June of 1929 by the San Francisco branch of American Can Company. Webster Cigar Co., Fact. 7 Detroit, Mich, 1926. Typical example of a hinged 10/5 box.
