CIGARS ARE POPULAR
Telling a Good Smoke HINTS FROM MERCHANT A Piccadilly merchant states that, despite trade difficulties, more pepole are smoking cigars than a few years ago. even though they may not be willing to spend so much upon them.

If it crackles like autumn leaves it is too dry. It. should rustle slightly. Then examine the outer leaf. it should be finegrained and smooth, and slightly oily.
