La Primadora Havana Cigars had at least 3 locations in NY City from 1910-30 (est.). Looks like a store display. The MS in the middle of the Primadora logo stands for Max Schwarz.
That was, as @Vision said, a store display box. roughly 1915-mid 1940s
Most likely, it was one that sat on a counter in a drug store, pub or tobacco store.
There was one (may not have been that brand) in an old drug store in Montana in the 60s. Probably Boulder, Butte, Livingston or one of those towns. I don't recall.
I only remember it, because my grandfather used to grab one when we went in to the store.
In Fumo Pax Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.

It’s old, in rough shape, I’m guessing maybe 20’s
Cuban cigars for $0.15 each....
But not more than $0.20

May the Shwarz be with you

It'll be fine once the swelling goes down.
@IndustMech
I see the Schwarz is strong in this one
Just outta curiosity @MeloYellow where did you acquire the box?
$0.15 in 1920 is worth $2.05 today. Still not bad.
@Rdp77 in a little shop in Montclair NJ....
It's pretty interesting, what size is it?
@Yakster 7x7 all the way around
