content: “Swell” bubblegum cigars manufactured by the Philadelphia Chewing Gum Corporation promoted almost all major presidential candidates from 1964 to 2000. Usually priced at just a nickel, the cigars were offered individually, in 6-packs, and in bi-partisan boxes like this for “presidential favorites” Lyndon Johnson and Barry Goldwater. In 1964, President Johnson, the incumbent Democrat, defeated Goldwater, a Republican senator from Arizona.
