What makes the costsn
Chiefly the material, of course The
supply OF these cigars is limited not merely
in consequence of the naturally small de-
mand there is for them, but also by the fact
that the tobacco is hard to get and is very
expensive. They are made entirely of the
very choicest light wrapper tobacco, care
| 1ully selected in the great Havana facto-
ries. II they were made from average
wrappers as they run, the cigar would be
| too strong to smoke. OF course they can be
made to order in considerable quantities,
| but they would be dearer rather than
cheaper if the number was very large, for
they would use up the manufacturers stock
in disproportionate way that would make
trouble and expense for him, for he would
fall short of wrappers for his other cigars. ="
you don't sell these ordinarily, do you9
They are cigars that man wouldn't be
likely to buy excepting on some special oc-
casionn
81 sell quite good many. There are a
number of men who buy bundle of them,
half dozen OF a dozen at time, every
Saturday and every time they give dinner

Are those the best cigars then that are

II consider them as good as any that can
be made, although there are cigars made
that sell in Havana for 81 apiece, which

Their cost comes from an exaggeration of
| the same conditions that make these expen-
sive, but the manufacturers do not care
to make them, and only do SO on special
orders"
The grades of cigars from these luxuries

down to the rool of inferior Pennsylvania
tobacco that can be made and sold at q
profit for S. thousand outside Of the tax
and cost of the boxes. The tobacco in them
| is not properly cured, and the process OF
manufacture is of the toughest, but they
are tobacco cigars, and to the eye of many
they resemble a fairly good cigar. The
reader who is curious to sample them may
| easily do it at a small cost the next time he
goes to Coney Island by investing in one Of
the Aunt Sally" games and knocking the
| old lady down with base ball. He will ge
one of the cigars for prize.
| A good cigar may not be had for a cent
and need not cost a dollar. The American
coin mentioned in the money table, of the
school arithmetics as dime finds its useful
ness right here. For ten cents the tobacco
mist can afford to sell you, and will if he il
honest, an honest cigar of properfully cureC
tobacco, not of the finest flavor certainly
but clean and we'll made and of good grade
As to the authorizations, and especially a
to tue cigar that served a useful purpose
some years ago to the professional humorists
being made of cabbages, it is exceedingly
difficult to get information. The reporter
could not find dealer who acknowledged
ever having had one of them, or knowing o
their existence. Two or three denied thai
cigars were made excepting of tobacco ar
