no IELL GOOD CIGARS:
judges o. Thcir Fine Points Few
ana Far between.

The judges OF good cigars in, this
country are few and far between, says
an expert. The great difficulty with
the people who think they know cigars
is that they lay too much stress on the
color of the weed. The color makes not
the slightest difference, and you are
just as likely to find one of the rankest
kind of cigars with the deep black col
or OF the genuine Havana as you are
to find a bad one among those that are
yellow as straw.
The best way to tell cigar is by
the feel Of 1t. Take cigur in your

no perccptible sound. If the cigar is
hard and clpSe rolled and when placed
to the car sounds as though you We're
pressing straw together. beware. The
best cigars are made of the same leaf
as the wrapper and are closely rolled.
The common cigars are what is known
as filled and contain all kinds of refuse
from the tubes where the good cigars
are made. There are some filed cigars
that are good smokes, but you seldom
find Havana or u Manila or good Gu
ban or Key West smoke that is not
rolled. Many. people who 80 into ci-
gar store to get an imported smoke do
not follow up the salesman when he
takes the cigars from the case and are
consequently often fooled. They are
given domestic brands and are charg-
ed imported prices for them.

tell the difference when there is all
