Some Pointers About
Mild and Strong Cigars
That You May
Not Know

Not all dark cigars are strong and
not all light cigars are mild.
In Havana Cigars like the LA
ANITA" the medium and dark colors
are the fuest and richest smoke. This
character of tobacco cures out dark in
color. Only It small percentage will
cure ont light if allowed to thoroughly
ripeu in the field
The great demand for light Havana
cigars has corCeyl the farmers to cut
their tobacco before it ripens. in order
TO prevent the tobacco from getting
dark. .>s a result tie light wrappers
arc not properly cured or their good
qualities developed in the maturing
process. This early cutting gives the
greeniSh east to the wrapper What is
true OF Havana tobacco is just the re-
verso in tine Su,2atra wrapper.
This type of tobacco is grown on the
Island of ssumatra and cures light in
color. The light color in this class of to-
bacco is the best in quality. because it
has very little strength and is neutral
in taste. which makes it a desirable
wrapper to work ON Havana filled
cigar. like the DEER HEAD Brand.
Dark colors in Sumatra are apt to be
strong and rank. while the dark colors
i'm Havana are mild and rich in flavor.
Wrappers that have an oily. glosSS
appearance are usually strong. They
have not fully matured. The natural
curing process takes out the gum and
gives the wrapper dull appearance.
THE OFFTERDINGER QUALITY of
Cigars are made of well cured tobacco.
These cigars are made to please the
taste more than the eye.
We spend more money in handling
the tobacco than most factories do, for
the reason that tobacco carefully han
died makes better cigars than the old,
slipshod way which is in vogue in other
factories.
We give a great deal of time to de-
tails in manufacturing cigars. because
it is in the details that the fine quail
ties are brought to perfection.
The unsanitary practice of cigar
makers biting off cigars in most facto-
ries is strictly forbidden in this fac
tory. You are insured against con-
tracing any contagious diseases via
cigars when smoking the Offterdinger
make, which stands for pure. clean
cigars made under sanitary conditions.

tariff was revised. Mr. Underwood
may be able to prove he is really sin
cere and at the next session OF con-
sress see that the tariff is revised and
cast his vote to that end, but, Ike the
case OF Senator Warren. It looks like
when ones pocketbook is affected a
congressman or a senator can find OPP
r tunity to hedge. Congressman I'M
derwood missed a splendid opportunity
to show that he is leader of reform
when he failed to insist upon the steel
tariff being lowered.
Senators and congressman who vote
to protect their interests should be
known to the public and the voters
should bear In mind the proneness Of
human nature to favor self when cleo
ton time comes. Men who are to rep
resent the people ought to either be
free from monied interests or else
should be true and tried.
