Still-sealed Tabacalera cigar gifted by President Lyndon B. Johns to Secret Service Agent Warren W. 'Woody' Taylor. The cigar bears its "Seal of the President of the Philippines" band, measures 6.75˝ in length, and is contained in its original cellophane wrapper. In fine condition. From the estate of Secret Service Agent Warren W. 'Woody' Taylor. On November 22, 1963, the day of President Kennedy's assassination, Taylor was on assignment in Dallas working as a Special Agent on Vice Presidential detail to protect Lady Bird Johnson. Taylor was in the vehicle immediately behind the Vice President's car in the Presidential motorcade. This cigar was likely obtained by President Johnson during his visit to Manilla in 1966 at a time when anti-war demonstrations were occurring worldwide. In late October, Johnson and dignitaries from six other countries—the Philippines, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, South Vietnam, and Thailand—converged in Manilla to sign a communiqué that included a four-point 'Declaration of Peace' that stressed the need for a 'peaceful settlement of the war in Vietnam and for future peace and progress' in the rest of Asia and the Pacific.
