" Havana " Cigars now made in Florida.
«« Whichever way the war goes, writes the Rural New Yorker, " Spain has practically lost Cuba in the shuffle. Cuba 13 likely to lose a good share of its tobacco trade. Thousands of Cubans have moved to Florida, and found land there well suited to growing the brands of tobacco that have made Havana cigars famous. They have worked so well that last year they sold 160,000,000 cigars, worth 18.000.000d01. Though produced in Florida, these cigars were all sold as 'Havana '-the Cuban is shrewd enough to carry his trade mark with him. In spite of this great output, the United States people still pay 17,000,000d0l to other countries for tobacco Florida wants the job of producing. If the Cuban war lasts much longer she will have it."
