CIGARS. Very few smokers have any knowl-
edge of the difference IN the quality of the cigar
they buy. They know when cigar pleases
them by its flavor, or the evenness with which
it burns, but they have no means of determin
ing whether it is a genuine Havana or simply
Havana filled with Connecticut wrapper 1t
is difficult for old smokers even to tell the diff
ference between American tobacco and foreign
There is, however, perceptible difference in
the effect upon the nerves in the brand and
quality of the tobacco one uses. Virginia to-
bacco, for instance, isrank in growth, abound
ing in woody fibre, and has a harsh flavor, and
consequently is better for chewing than for ci-
gars. Large quantities of it, however, are used
for the filing or mould of cheap cigars The
favorte cigar of the masses in New England is
the Havana filling and Connecticut wrapper.
The imported cigar is perhaps the most difficult
of comprehension, there are so many brands of
it. The process of gathering the leaf is simple,
the difficulty lies in the curing or sweating
process. as it is called. The leaf lis sorted, the
finest and ripest laid together and tied into
small bunch. called a hand. Four of these
hands make bunch and the bunch is tied to-
ed together and permitted to re main undisturb-
ed for twelve months. This is called the sweat
ing process. At the end of this period the bale
is opened, dried, sorted again and sold. The
highest priced cigars are made of the finest
tobacco and wrapped with the selvage of a
Spanish leaf. The same leaf makes two cigars
differing in quality. The real value of tobacco
depends largely upon the evenness with which
it sweats or ferments. Inscriptions dealers
rush their leaf into the market before it is
properly fermented, thereby destroying that
delicate oily favor which every first class cigar
possesses The choicest Havana tobacco grows
on the low lands, and the ''De Lamelta Abago''
is considered the purest tobacco raising locality
in Cuba. The only way in which purchaser
can be sure of the quality of his cigar is to buy
of dealer he knows will tell him the truth
and depend upon his judgment.
