They're both original items so I guess the question becomes whether or not the cigar label is original to the cigar box or whether it was affixed to the box at a later point. Ideally, there would be another box to compare it to but I don't know if there are similar ones out there. The other guys are the experts here on cigar boxes so I'm out of my league on that aspect but I do feel strongly that it's not a cut out from a publication.

I did subsequently come across this link which provides more color commentary on the 1874 England tour and has a nearly identical cigar label titled 'First Nine.'
