A History of Cigar Store Indians
Hundreds of years ago, Native Americans introduced tobacco to Europeans. In doing so, Native Americans quickly became advocates of the tobacco industry. It became part of their society. Smoke shop owners used Cigar Store Indians to show people who couldn’t read where to buy cigars.
In the 1600s, Cigar Store Indians began to appear outside of European tobacco shops. Since European craftsmen had never seen a real-life American Indian, their representations were more fictional-looking than realistic. When the Cigar Store Indian made its way to America in the 1700s, they began to look more authentic.
Current Uses For Cigar Store Indians
Even now, you’ll sometimes see a Cigar Store Indian sitting outside of a cigar store. But these eye-catching statues are now used less as an advertisement for a tobacco shop, and more as ornaments that celebrate tobacco’s rich history. Though various people view these statues as a stereotype of American Indians, Cigar Store Indians represent a big part of the tobacco business. Some statues are happy and inviting, while others appear to be trying to scare away intruders or thieves. In any case, throughout the years, Cigar Store Indians have become synonymous with the tobacco industry.
Our Design and Manufacturing Process
While some Cigar Store Indians are made of cast iron, most are made of wood. We use the highest quality mahogany wood for our Cigar Store Indians. Our artisans use axes and mallets to shape the figure, and a chisel to add the finer points. Our artisans paint each statue by hand, so that even the finest details are perfect.
Common Styles of Cigar Store Indians
We offer several types of Cigar Store Indians. From joyful figures, to intimidating warriors, we have what you need. Many of our Cigar Store Indians even have empty palms, so that they can display cigars or any other item you’d like! A majority of our Cigar Store Indians come full-size at around 6 feet tall. For many, though, we offer miniature versions that are about 40 inches tall.
Perhaps you want your Cigar Store Indian to wear a full head-dress, carry a knife, dress in traditional fringe clothing, or bring you wealth and good luck. Whatever your preference, we’ll surely have the type of Cigar Store Indian you’re looking for. Don’t hesitate! Contact us today!

Cigar Store Indian Question
Is there any way to paint OVER old paint on a concrete statue?
I have a concrete cigar store Indian statue that I can’t get the old paint off of – the statue is pitted, has a lot of crevices, and when I tried to use a wire brush I ended up damaging it. I painted over everything with patio paint and it looked great, better than I could’ve imagined it would turn out… until ALL the paint peeled off within two months.
I’d really like to give this another shot – if I scrape off the worst of the old paint, is there any kind of primer or sealer that I can use INSTEAD of getting every last bit of the old stuff off?
Any advice would be much appreciated – and if you know of specific products and where I can find them that would be even better!
THANK YOU!!
try a pressure washer, i have 2 concrete deer thats how i get all the loose paint off them. i was told by a painter to use an oil base paint on them then spray a coat of clear varnish over the paint after it dries . i never did this but i am going to try it its supposed to help keep the paint from peeling. i guess its worth a try.
Who sells Antique Cigar Store Wooden Chief Indians?
Native American Statues that are white, with colorful headdresses that look almost like “A Greek God” with wooden cracks, and salute their left arms, that are Antiques by unknown artists, that wear green robes on their body, with exposed white bellies, that their right legs salute with moccasins that look like they compare to the maiden Indians that are early 1900′s Cigar Store Indians, that wear necklaces, that also have red lips, yellow earrings, and black hair. Where can I buy these?
If so, let me know!
Antique dealers – few and far between these days.
Ask your favorite dealer to put out the word for one.
Very heavy as I discovered in my college days.
