The inspiration for this deck comes from the design on boxes of premium cigars, beautiful, colorful, intricate artwork that goes perfectly with the downright dapperness of smoking a cigar.

This is a Limited Edition deck that is available exclusively to Club 808 Members. The seal on the top of the tuck is a Club 808 seal showing the production quantity of 5,000 decks. Maximum of 24 decks per member.

Designed by Rick Davidson of New Zealand, this deck featured a re-interpretation of the original 15th century face cards from Rouen, France that was the basis for the current standard courts now used on so many common playing card decks. Rick carefully studied many historic cards and prints from this time period (http://originscards.com/archive/) to create his new interpretations, but also occasionally brought in modern day inspirations for facial features, including Charlize Theron for the Queen of Clubs.

The cards were printed on casino quality Bee stock with a magic finish from USPCC with special Q1 quality production. In addition, magician Lee Asher, helped design the gaff card included with the deck that featured the King of Spades and Queen of Hearts.

Moonshine - the spirit of the Appalachians, kept thousands of speakeasy\'s in business during the \'20s, and no Prohibition set would be complete without this sweet, illegal corn liquor. Famous Moonshiners like Rooster Kelley made a name for themselves producing these illegal spirits - and we\'ve chosen to highlight some of these characters in the court cards of the Moonshine deck. The tuck box has been kept simple, but refined, made from a high-quality recycled cardboard, with the Moonshine logo printed and raised in the most precise embossing we\'ve ever seen on a deck of cards. The \'XXX\' on the box and back design indicate this Moonshine has been triple-distilled, yielding a clean, pure spirit - appropriate given the smooth performance of these cards. Limited to just 5,000 decks in this First Edition printing, the Moonshine Deck is available exclusively in the Prohibition Boxed Set.

52Proof Whiskey is as American as apple pie. The giant oak tree on the front of the tuck box and seal a symbol of the aging process for fine bourbon, matured in charred oak barrels to develop the distinct smoky flavour. This oak motif continues throughout the cards, from the Ace of Spades right around to the back design. While bars before prohibition were predominantly male domains, in the 1920\'s many women flocked to speakeasies in their best flapper attire. We\'ve taken inspiration from images of the era to design the court cards, the art-deco look very in-vogue at the time. The Gold Foil stamping on the outside of the tuck and luxurious red satin-finished interior makes 52Proof one of the most gorgeous boxes we\'ve ever produced - and it\'s only available in the Prohibition Box Set.

Black Market Series Deck TZAROVKA (LIMITED EDT = 1,000 decks) aim to depict an exclusive and rare deck where classic red suits are replaced with a golden tone for hearts and diamonds. Every court card has a unique symbol that reflect the suits. While all cards have a background frame only the courts and aces have them decorated.
