Hand Beats Machine.

Cigars are still made by hand, no machine having yet been Invented that will roll them so nicely and evenly as do deft human fingers. The cheapest cigars—the three-for-flve variety—are made of French, Kentucky, Algerian or Hungarian leaves. At the other extreme are the cigars smoked by the czar of Russia, which are of the choicest and best matured Havana, and which co?t $1.50 each.
