Chicago. the capital of sensations

FEW coon JUDGES OF CIGARS.
Quality Commits Little With the Az

Quality Counts Little With the Ave-
erage Blu, err, says One Dealer.
From the New York Sun.
The man came in and asked for a
brand of cigar that the cigar store pro
prietor didn't have.
But I've got something that's prac-
tically the same smoke" the dealer
said, taking out a box.
The man smiled wisely and indul-
gently and went out again, and the
dealer swore.
There are times" he said, when
this business makes you a trffe tired.
Now, I'd bet everything that I've got
in the world that that chap couldn't
have told the cigar I offered him from
the brand he thinks he wants II his lie
depended on it.
''There are between a million and a
half and two million brands of cigars
sold in this country, and your average
smoker thinks that every brand means
a different kind of tobacco. As a mat
ter of fact, $50 is an outside estimate
of the different kinds of tobacco that
can be procured from all sources, and
even experts can't tell some OF these
apart.
'As for the average smoker, not half
of them have any idea as TO the quality
of the cigar they may be smoking. Inc
vast majority of tobacco users smoke
with their eyes and their eyes only.
1.-The shape or size or color of a cigar
strikes their fancy. It burns easily and
they are contented. At the same time
these things have absolutely nothing
to do with the quality OF cigar.
ITO get an Illustration of how smok-
ing is done with the eyes it is only nee
cessary to remember that very rev
blind men. care anything about smok-
ing. In many cases men who have
gone blind after they have been in
veterate smokers for years cease to
care anything few weeks after losing
their sight, and soon give up the use OF
tobacco altogether.
80 it's a perfectly well-known axiom
in the trade that the quality of cigar
is as nothing compared to the color OF
the wrapper the shape and the way II
burns. or, in other words, workman
ship is considerably more than half
the battle so far as the dealer is con-
cerned.
"Of course an inveterate smoker OF
Havana cigars does not enjoy domes-
tic smoke, and there are men who re-
ally know and appreciate fine tobacco.
But in the run of trade these are an
almost vanishing minority"
