PERFUMED CIGARS
(By Air Mail—Special to Daily News.)
MANY FAVOUR HYACINTH. NOVELTIES FROM SPAIN.
London, March II. In one of her best-sellers of tliirty years ago Miss Marie Corelli got herself into trouble. with the critics. . SLc made the villain, a person of immense weaith and exquisite taste, pick and. eat .ripe • gooseberries while smoking a priceless Havana cigar in the garden. But once more truth is stranger than fiction. 4One of ' the latest novelties from Spajn is a box of cigars, elaborately packed . twelve to the box, each of which is perfumed with the scent of some flower; ■ ' A naive journalistic gossip • writes that the perfumes include violet, lavender and hyacinth, that the last-n'amed is the one most favoured by connoisseurs,. and that the novelty is "an endeavour to tone down the usual smell of cigar smoke without affecting the smoker.", ..... It Would be really edifying to get the views of Lord Lonsdale about this innovation of perfumed cigars. .These novelties must, one imagines, be' desjgned sblely for feminine consumpticn. Fancy "toning down" the smell of'a choice Havana! And with scent of hyacinth!
