nothing but smoke cigars, cigarettes
and pipes from morning to night, and
render account of the qualities of the
various samples submitted to them.
They receive the tobacco in leaf and
it Is then made up either as cigars
or cigarettes, or cut for smoking.
There are about twenty factories in
France and their products are sent
regularly to the tasters to appraise
the value. The Frenchman's notion Of
q cigar is that it should be blonde,
well Veined, spotted, brittle and
