The finest grade of tobacco comes
from Havana, and is used for what is
called filling. The wrapper used mostly
throughout the Union is the Sumatra
leaf. and is the handsomest and best in
use. In the first place, all tobacco is
moistencd with water, and left standing
between twenty-four and forty-eight
hours, according to the texture of the
tobacco. 1t is then stripped, that
is, the stem is taken ont and the
leaf opened and spread between two
boards for the purpose of keeping it
open and of giving it a flat surface. In
this stage the leaf is dried anu worked
into cigars as filters. The greatest pre-
caution is always taken that the filters
oe perfectly dry. or it can not be smoked
and therefore the cigar would not fulfill
It's purpose in the least
Cirars are rolled on fat stones by y
deft motion quite Undesirable to those

inclosed in the binder it is termed in
