Take it for what it's worth. Even if he made the story up, it's God's honest truth that nine in ten people could be conned that way. I've tried to remember what book that was in, no luck. It was probably in one of his essay books instead of stories. |

I believe in the late 1800s the perfecto was the most common cigar, but I was not around to witness it

Perfectos were probably the most popular ones along with the corona size unless you count penny cheroots. If you look at advertising from the 1900s area you will see mostly Perfectos. Keep in mind that the king Edward perfection is an iconic stogies from the past.
As poor as the tobacco probably was, it supports what I have seen, mostly corona or perfection size. You had to have a lot of time to go through a Cuban double corona. A desk to work at or a fine room to sit in. Otherwise they would just smoke several cheroots |
