Cigar was given his nickname by a game warden when he lost some cigars while stealing ducks from the warden's trap. Daisey and his stories are of folk legend. His life and decoys have been memorialized in a book by Doily Fulcher. This example has head lightly turned to the left, wing relief carving.

Original paint with very light gunning wear.
