The cigar has long history Tobacco

point there is no proof, says the Washing
ton Post Two of the sailors under Co.
lumbus on the first voyage reported that
they had seen natives of the new found
world with frebrands in their mouths
and with smoke issuing from their lips
II was found that these natives were
smoking the dried leaves of a plant hith-
erto unknown to the Europeans. and that
the leaves were rolled in a corn shuck.
ON the second voyage of Columbus ma
tiyes of the West Indies were found who
pulverized dry tobacco leaves and snuffed
the powder up their noses.
This practice was discovered by a
franciscan friar, Roman Pane, who ac-
companied Columbus. In the voyage of
1902, when Columbus reached the main
land Of South America, natives were
found who chewed the cured leaf of the
tobacco plant. The use of the plant was
subsequently found to be universal among
the American aborigines from Cape Horn

about the first thing the American coll
onists turned their attention to upon
recovering from the gold fever 1t is
known that John Rolfe, the husband
of Pocahontas, had a field of tobacco
at jamestown in 1912, and 1t Is believed
that the plant was cultivated by Rolfc
and his neighbors at an earlier date
than that. TIL export records of tobac-
co from jamestown colony appear to
begin in 1912. In America, up to the
time of the Revolution, nearly all the
tobacco was grown in Virginia. Mary
land and the Carolinas New England
began about 1860, but, finding the in
dustry Improbable, ii languished, and
was finally discontinued. Early in the
nineteenth century tobacco planting be-
came the chief pursuit in Kentucky and
Tennessee and continued to be the main
crop in Virginia and Maryland. Con-
necticut took up the culture of the
plant about 1880, and eastern Pennsyl-
vania, central New York, the Miami
valley of Ohio and southern Wisconsin

Unknown to Ancients

Frequent essays are made by anti
ouarians to show that the use Of tobac-
co was known to the Chinese, or the Hin
dostanee, or the Egyptian etc, agree be-
fore the practice was observed by the
sailors OF Columbus. Efforts in this di-
rection have not been successful or i'm

The tobacco smoking practice was early
taken up in Europe and spread with
greater speed than marked the intro
duetion and use of the potato. maize, to-
mato or banana. Hernandez de Toledo

bringing his tobacco supplies from Santo
Domingo From the peninsula the prac-

French ambassador to Lisbon. The year
1850 saw the habit taking hold of Italy.
Sir Francis Drake and his men carried
Indian pipes and tobacco to England in
1888, and Sir Walter Raleigh made pipe
smoking fashionable at the court Of
Elizabeth, whence the fashion eventually
spread over England. Cnuff taking close

tobacco made a conquest of Europe and

memorial But wether the cigar is
senior to the pipe or quid Is a difficult
question. Even If the first reported use
OF tobacco was in the form OF fire
brands it does not follow that this was
the Oldest form in which the plant was
used. AT the time of the coming of the
Eu opeans tobacco was consumed In one
form or another by the Indians from
Canada to Patagonia, and especially in
the form of smoking. It was a habit
that the Indians had no tradition as TO it's
origin.
There is appropriateness in the distinc-
ton of the Havana cigar. OF course, Ha-
vana cigars may be made of tobacco
from any part of Cuba, hence, It may be
true that Havana cigars should really
be called Cuban cigars. and the cigars
which the so-called civilized world first
knew about were made and smoked in
that region.

Made In Germany

At one time in the early history OF
this country cigarmaking was an i'm
portant industry In Germany and large
quantities of German made cigars came
to the United States. The first separate
tabulation of cigar imports was In 1904.
and in that year 1000 600 were brought
into the United States, nearly all of
them coming from the West Indies.
The first American cigar factory was
established in Connecticut in 1910. by
1925 there were numerous small cigar
factories In Connecticut. Kentucky.
Massachusetts, Pennsylvania. Ohio, New
York, Maryland and Virginia. The first
tax levied on domesic cigars and other
tobacco products was laid under the
internal revenue law of 1862, which was
war revenue measure.
