[Communicated from abroad by LAURITZ CHRISTIAN KIRSCHBAUM, of
Copenhagen, in the Kingdom of Denmark, Cigar Manufacturer.]
An Improved Manufacture of Cigars.
I, HENRY HARRIS LAKE, of the Firm of Haseltine Lake & Co., Patent Agents,
45 Southampton Buildings, in the County of Middlesex, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improved manufacture of cigars, in which the
formation of the tip is dispensed with so that the manufacture becomes cheaper.
The material used for closing the end of the cigar consists of a thin cork sheeting
or jacket which enables the cigar to be kept dry and fresh in smoking so that it
may be smoked right to the end without leaving a bitter taste. The cork, which
is quite thin is cut to a suitable shape, and when the cigar is rolled instead of
finishing it by making the usual tip the said cork sheeting is wound round the end
of the cigar to which it is affixed by means of a solution, thus dispensing with the
necessity of forming the tip as heretofore.
Dated this 2nd day of November 1893.

An Improved Manufacture of Cigars.
I, HENRY HARRIS LAKE, of the Firm of Haseltine, Lake & Co., Patent Agents,
45 Southampton Buildings, in the County of Middlesex, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to an improved manufacture of cigars, in which the usual
formation of the tip is dispensed with so that the manufacture of such cigars is
rendered cheaper than heretofore. The material used for closing the end of the
cigar consists of a thin cork sheeting or jacket which enables the cigar to be kept
dry and fresh in smoking so that it may be smoked right to the end without the
inconvenience of leaving an unpleasant bitter taste in the mouth. The cork which
is quite thin is cut to a suitable shape and when the cigar is rolled instead of
finishing it by making the usual tip, the said cork sheeting is wound round the end
of the cigar to which it is affixed by means of a solution thus dispensing with the
necessity of forming the tip as heretofore.
I am aware that such covers have been previously used for cigarettes, in this
case however they are only designed to protect the lips against the tobacco, and
they only add to instead of reducing the cost of manufacture, whereas in cigars they
serve instead of the expensive and uncleanly tobacco tip.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me by
my foreign correspondent, I declare that what I claim is :-
1. The improvement in the manufacture of cigars which consists, in that

page_text: simultaneously with the rolling of the latter, a previously cut thin sheeting of cork
is wound round the end of the said cigar to which it is affixed by means of a
solution, substantially as described and for the purpose above specified.
