I, MAX DRAPKIN, of 62, Victoria Street, Manchester, in the County of Lan-
caster, Cigar and Cigarette Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in the manufacture of cigars, and the
object of my invention is to make a cigar in such a manner that it can be
smoked as a cigar, or divided into two or more parts which may be smoked
separately as small cigars or cigarettes.
In carrying out my invention I form each cigar of two or more small cigars
or cigarettes of suitable size and shape and I place together the desired number
of these small cigars or cigarettes and then cover them with a wrapping leaf
which, when properly rolled and finished, combines the small cigars, and forms,
to all appearance, an ordinary cigar; this cigar may then be smoked in the
usual manner.
If desired, by removing the wrapper, the cigar may be divided into small
cigars or cigarettes and each one smoked separately.

caster, Cigar and Cigarette Manufacturer, 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:-

In the accompanying sheet of drawings-
Figure 1 is a view of three small cigars or cigarettes Figure 2 is a view of
a cigar composed of the three small cigars and Figure 3 is an end view of
Fig. 2.
In these views, a designates the three small cigars which are put together
and then rolled and covered by a wrapping leaf 6 and finished so as to form
the cigar shown in Figs. 2 and 3.
If desired, by removing the wrapper 6 the cigar may be divided into small
cigars or cigarettes a and each one smoked separately.
Instead of three I may employ two, four or more small cigars a to form the
finished cigar.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:
The herein described improvements in the manufacture of cigars which con-
sist in employing two or more small cigars or cigarettes covered by a wrapping
leaf and rolled and finished to form a single cigar which can either be smoked
as such or may be divided and each of the small cigars smoked separately.
Dated this 26th day of October 1899.
