In the manufacture of the choicest cigars time Is
a most important factor. After the tobacco has been
picked which in Cuba, is usually in April and Sep

object the drying and preservation Of the tobacco and
by process of slow alton the modification OF
certain of the leaf constituents, and the development

In the manufacture of high-grade pipe tobaccos
also much time is required. The raw material in the
warehouses is of various qualities. Some are strong,
harsh and bitter and Therefore unfit for smoking;
while other samples mild and fine with aromatic
and pleasant flavor but devoid OF strength BY proper
blending the best smoking tobaccos are obtained; but
the rough bitter kinds cannot be manufactured with
out preliminary treatment designed to modify their
intensely disagreeabe taste.
The only treatment at one time-and it is said TO
be the best treatment now-was to store the strong
tobacco for heightened period during which time it

treatment to meet the camorous demands Of hprryup
Americans is to the leaves in water contain
ing hydrochloric acid afterward washing them out
with pure water Renewed fermentation artifically
induced by moisture and heat is another quick method
for mellowing rank-tasting tobacco.
Good cigars are stn made by hand, no machine
having yet been invented that will roll them so nicely
and evenly as do def human fingers The cheapest
eigars-the three-for-five variety-are made Of
French Kentucky, Algerian or Hungarian leaves. At
the other extreme are the cigars smoked by the
