Tobacco; Its History, Varieties, Culture, Manufacture And Commerce (fiscle part-XII) Part 2
Von: E. R. Billings
"The Poet May Sing of The Leaf Of The Rose,
And Call It The Purest And Sweetest That Blows;
But Of All The Leaves That Ever Were Tried,
Give Me The Tobacco Leaf Rolled up And Dried."
The Smoking of Cigars Is Now Considered the Best As It Is The Most
Fashionable Mode Of Using the Weed. The Word Cigar Is From The Spanish
_Cigarro_, And Signifies A Cylindrical Roll Of Tobacco Leaves, Made Of
Short Pieces Or Shreds Of The Leaves Divested of The Stem And Wound
About With A Binder, And Enveloped in a Portion Of The Leaf Known By
The Name Of Wrapper--Acute At One End And Truncated at The Other.
