OF the various ways in which tobacco is
utilized in the present day, the more prev
alent form--as luxury for leisure NO
men,s--is that Of cigar smoking. As this
has become in ali classes of society, even
the most cultured and refined, an indis-
pensible luxury, the cultivation and man
ufacture of tebsceo have become an indus
try, throughout the civilized world, OF the
greatest practical importance. Hence it
is that We find every appl:aneeo of skill and
taste, and the best results Of experience in
this business brought to besr on this
business brought to bear on this mauutac-
.ture. The best tobacco for cigar manufse-
ture, which holds the highest rank for the
excellence of its flavor, is grown on the
Island of Cuba, where innumerable styles
are found for exportation all over the
world. In various sections OF the United
States this industry has "a local habitation
