"Bob Toombs, the Georgia senator, who
never was reconstructed" said q Macon
man, "hae one sort of cigars made to order
for himself, and another sort, but of the
same tobacco, made for his friends. Ihe
difference was made because Toombs never
smoked cigar, but simply chewed it, He
experimental for long time before he
could get an article to bis taste. The
cigar for chewing was long and slender and
very compactly made. He began chewing
at the wrong end, smoS er would say, so
that the stub was a sharp point. No sort of
tobacco. not in cigar shape, would answer
the same purpose. He chewed constantly,
always having q cigar in his mouth, bus
never lighting It. he stoutly commended
that this was not merely fad OF eccen-
tricity, but he found it the most enjoyable
form in which to use tobacco. At political
conventions in Georgia 10 this lay a stranger
will probably notice the number Of men
chewing cigars, never asking for a light and
refusing one If offered. They are admirers
OF Bob Toombs, and the fad is only fad
with them"
