Tho Number OF People In This Country
Who Smoke Imported Cigars.

"As near rs we can get at it." said
the cigar dealer, 1--WE calculate that
there are 100000 smokers IN the
United States. We haven't been able
to get 1t down fine enough yet to
estimate how many of these smoke
cigars. what portion the pipe. or the
number of those who inhale the delu-
sive cigarette. but we can get pretty
close to the number who 20 in for im-
ported cigars. And that number sur
prised me when ! figured it out. Not
one person in thousand would be able
to guess anywhere near it, after know
ing the total number Of smokers in
the country. Now, out of those 49,
000. 900 smokers how many indulge in
Havanasp"
about 100000" replied the re-
porter.
That's the nearest to the number of
any guess I've had. and have stand
ing offer of box of the best Perfectos
to the man who guesses within half a
million of the actual figures. I'm sor-
ry, but near ms you came. you have not
won the box. You're out of the way,
though, only about 1000. 900 in your
guess. Now then. If you'll tell me
whether you are too high or too low I'll
give you the Perfectos.
.sroo low. Of course"
Exactly. That's what they all
think. I'm sorry, young man. but you
don't get the box. You're just 1884,
600 smokers too high in your estimate.
Hardly believe it, would you? Nobody
would. But it's so. and there's no get
ting around it. Why If there were A.
100000 consumers of Havana cigars in
this country. how often do you sup
pose each one would get Havana to
smoke? Just about three month.
That Is. IL all tho cigars imported from
Cuba into the United States were
equally divided among 1000. 900 smok-
ers, each smoker would have twenty
five cigars and piece of one. At the
outside. we take from Cuba ITO. 600. 600
cigars year. This is all the demand
calls for. Consequently, we smoke in
round numbers $50, 000 Of them every
day.
II think it is fair to give five cigars
as each smokers daily average. So
we see by easy figuring that just Co.
600 persons are all that are required to
get away with all the imported cigars
that the United States consumes annu-
ally. Astonishing, isn't itp Out of an
army of IS. 600. 0G0 people in this coun-
try who smoke. only 66. 900 indulge in
the luxury of imported cigars, but
that &C. 900 pay not less than an aver
age OF 81 apiece every day for the
privilege. which makes the snug little
sum OF So. 900. 900 n year which goes
