Actual
Red and White Cigar Box Of Swisher Sweets Slims Autographed By Presidential
Candidate Bill Clinton.
This box is a unique reminder ot the most tempestous moments in late 20th century
American politics and a point of irony in the 42nd President's career. In 1992, then
governor Bill Clinton, hot on the cmpaign trail, made an unscheduled landing at the
Mid-Continent airport in WIchita, Kansas for a refueling. Local freight pilot Rod
Jacobs, happened to be among the crowd that gathered to meet the underdog in the
race for the White House. But when it came to a face-to-face moment with the
candidate, Mr. Jacobs was short on scratch paper for an autograph. He grabbed a pack
of Swisher Sweets Slims from his pocket instead. The candidate obligiingly scrawled
his name and went on.
The signifance of that autograph on that particular brand of cigars would not be fully
realized for six years. Today, in the wake of an intensely-publicized and damaging
affair, followed by an historic impeachment trial, this item has ievolved into a
scandalous souviner. The box has been a topic of discussion on such media outlets as
MDSNBC, The Wall Stree Journal, and the Kansas City Star. As far
as I know, this is the only known Bill Clinton signed box of Swisher Sweets cigars.
A unique and highly interesting piece of American History. PRICE
$1,000. THIS ITEM WAS SOLD AT AUCTION, BUT I CAN'T HELP TO
LEAVE IT UP AS INTERESTING EPHERMA.
