New York, Feb. 1.-The box OF
cigars given as a Christmas gift US
ua1ly hangs around a long time, Of
ten perhaps because it has not been
opened. If it was gift from wo-
man, the excuse for the long life
smokes" are enjoying is likely to
be that they are too good to be dis
patched hurried1y. A Member of the
British Parliament, the Right Hon.
J. r. Clynes, writing in an unusual
Iy charita BILE vein toward those who
inf1ict their cigar judgment on one
at Christmas time, gives some OBJ
servations on his Christmas cigars,
The daily times., 1922-02-02

expressing few kindly thoughts and
discussing bad smokes, in a recent
issue of The Liverpool Post and Mer-
curry. Here is what Mr.. Clynes says:
THE peculiar attribute of the
Christmas cigar is that it is so often
a present from some one else. That
increases its value ten fold. A man
must, at this season of festivity have
cigars. Is there any man so aban-
doned as to buy only for himself?
At all other times of the year your
cigar smokers, regular and irregular,
are for the most part smoking cigar
to their own taste, purchased with
their own money. But at Christmas
every man is smoking cigars of
some other mans choosing, Cor
sometimes, some other woman S
choosing.)
eff the choice had been guided by
the size and f1ambouyancy of the
band, and if the decorative labels
upon the lid have been allowed to
make up the mind of the purchaser,
or if the purchaser has trusted en-
tirely to salesman Who does not
smoke cigars himself, those cigars
may take a long time to smoke
But they will be smoked. Ca7
one let them rot in a cupboard, and
become daily more dry and dread
full? Can a man give away Christ
mas present? They will be smo
