Tobacco should be credited as part Of the
discovery Of Christopher Columbus. When
he first met tho Indians they were imbibing
the fumes OF tobacco in the shape Of a cigar.
This cigar was not wholly Of tobacco, though.
II was a stalk or straw tube filed with this
weed. But the Indians smoked pipes chiefly.
Tho use Of cigars by civilized people, and Of
cigars as We now know them, is much more
recent than most people suppose. The real
cigar, which is pure roll of tobacco alone,
probably originated in Cuba, where the very
best cigars arc still made. Their origin with
Us, as in Europe, did not begin until early IN
the present century.
