A Roswell Artist Preserving a
Once-Fleeting Art Form
Historically, cigar-label art had one major limitation: the original pieces faded quickly, because they were never designed for long-term preservation.
A Roswell artist has solved this challenge. By hand-arranging authentic cigar labels and then printing the completed artwork with museum-quality inks on archival canvas, this Golden Age technique is now given true permanence.
The result is artwork that carries the spirit of its origins while enduring beautifully for generations.
About the artist
Lester Herbertson
"I create portraits that honor the essence behind the subject.
Each piece is a blend of craftsmanship, imagination, and the revived Golden Age tradition of cigar-label artistry.
Whether I’m portraying Guy Fieri using his own cigar labels or transforming a Porsche into a dynamic collage, my intention is always the same:
To create artwork that feels alive, rare, meaningful, and truly one-of-a-kind."

Framed vs. Unframed Canvases
Unframed Canvas (Standard Option)
Our museum-quality giclée canvases arrive ready for your personal touch.
Printed with archival inks on heavyweight canvas, the unframed pieces offer flexibility if you prefer to use your own framer or match an existing décor style.
This option is ideal for collectors who want the artwork at its most affordable entry point.
Framed Canvas (Gallery Option)
For a complete, ready-to-hang statement piece, select the custom framing chosen by the artist.
Each canvas is:
-
Hand-stretched over sturdy wood stretcher bars
-
Finished with a ½” linen liner for depth
-
Completed with a 2½” dark brushed moulding, inspired by aged tobacco-curing barn timbers
This framing package, normally priced higher at retail, is offered through Regency Fine Art & Frame at below-gallery pricing, giving you a luxury presentation without the usual markup.
