What did Mark Twain smoke?
There were cigar rolling operations all over the place in the US in those days. A town of significant size probably had more than two. I have an old birds eye view map of my hometown, Sheboygan, Wis., from the late 1880s. It was commissioned by local merchants so their premises are marked on the map. The town had maybe 20,000 people at the time. There were something like 5 cigar factories.
So I wonder if Twain smoked the domestic product, or preferred a fine Havana cigar? |
