Allegedly, Factory #641 produced a record 30,000,000 hand-made five-cent cigars per year. The factory at one time employed 800 workers and had factories in both Binghamton and Lancaster, PA. Another brand produced by the factory was "Fire Brigade Cigar" - there is an image of "FB" in the African American Theme and another in the Public Service Theme {under Fire/Police}.
