Inflation is catching up with the candy industry and gone are the days of a good five cent cigar – bubble gum cigar that is

We just got our latest shipment of the original El Bubble Bubble Gum Cigar and the new suggested retail is $.25 which is a far cry from the cost of a contraband Cuban cigar but…

Ironically, El Bubble Bubble Gum Cigars created controversy when first introduced in 1949 as they were the first bubble gum to “crash” through the $.05 retail barrier.

Regardless, it is still a classic Americana candy and comes in three flavors bearing the following logos:

Gold Dragon (Banana Flavored)
El Bubble (Mint Flavored)
Pink Owl (Fruit Flavored)
