HistoryNigger Hair Smoking Tobacco was first manufactured by the Milwaukee, Wisconsin-based B. Leidersdorf Company in 1878.[2] According to the company the product was named after "its distinctive, curly Long Cut strands".[3] The product was sold at economic prices and packaged in metal tins with "the head of a negro surmounted with a copious crop of wool, and having a large ring pending from the nose and another from the ear" stamped on the front.[4] Early advertisements for Nigger Hair bore the tagline "Always be a good boy and smoke B. Leidersdorf and Co.'s Nigger Hair".[4] In 1917, tickets for tradeable Nigger Hair Smoking Tobacco were commissioned by the American Tobacco Company. The production company changed the product's name to "Bigger Hair"[2] in the 1950s, following fierce criticism from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).[5]{{Request quotation|date=November 2018}} The product was sold predominantly in North America. Today, its tins remain a prominent collector's item and can be found at various auctions.[1] Trademark infringementLeidersdorf filed a civil lawsuit in 1879 against a rival tobacco merchant by the surname of Flint who sold the Big Indian brand of Tobacco. Leidersdorf argued that Flint had infringed Nigger Hair's trademark. After discussion the judges ruled against Leidersdorf and concluded that the two logos were not distinct enough to avoid confusing consumers.[6] References1. ^1 {{cite book|author=Terry O.
