NOTES.
HAVE A LEFT-HANDED CIGAR, It is not always because a cigar is badly made that the wrapper curls up and works off. It is often because a right handed man is smoking a left handed cigar. A lefthanded cigar is one rolled by the maker’s left hand, for all cigar makers must be ambidextrous. A deaf of tobacco for the wrapper is cut on the bias, and is rolled from deft to right on the fillet. The other piece, for reasons of economy, is then used, and must be rolled the opposite way by the operator’s other hand. Hence a smoker who holds his cigar in his right hand sometimes in twisting it about rubs the wrapper the wrong way. and loosens it.
