Cannecticut tobacco Is now largely used for clgar-wranpers, Indeed, large quantitles of It are exported to Cuba for that purpose, the Cu- Lans having found it fully equal to thcir own. Many a prime Havana I8 sold over the clgar- dealer’s counter to-day with a Connectlent jack- et on, and nobody s poorer for it. This clement of exccllence dlscovered in the Convecticut vlant has given n new impetus to cigar manu- facture in this country, lmnense quantitices of Cuban fillings are jmported futo the United Btates and Inclosed fn Connecticut wrappera, In 1873, 80,810 cases of Cuban tobscco wers fm- vorted Into the United States for the manufac- ture of cigars, The now famous Havana-filed cigars src the product of this cuterprise of United States manufacturcrs. They nre sold for half the price, and are said to e fully equal in flavor to the Ilavanas usually fmported into this country, thongh some smok- ers rofuse to be comforted with them, IMPORTED CIGARS, 1t may be stated, however, that although we are beginning to manufsacture cigars on a Jargze scale, we have not ceased to import them. The statistics are not at hand to show the Importset the last two years, but in 1873 we recoived from Cuba 229,087,545 cigars, and in 1878 about 237,~ 000,000, In the former year we nlso received 19,344,707 cigarcttes, and fn the Jatter vear 22,- 000,000, Thfa is not a great quantity, howeser, considering the extent of tho country and the large populatfon, Cuba smoked berselly o couple of years ago, 1,675,000,000 cigars, to say nothing of cheroots and cigareties. Large quautitles of cigarsare manufactured in Europe, particularly fa Spalo and North Ger- many.
