WITH A TOBACCONIST.
"A long, low strip xif land, a valley between high hills, lies five miles outside Havana, and there,” said a cigar dealer, “the best tobacco in the world is grown. “The name of the place is Abajo, and the Vuelta Abajo crops are always brought no two or three years in advance of their planting. They yield only 85,000 cigars annually. These cigars sometimes sell as high as £BO a hundred—six shillings each. “Vuelta Abajo cigars are only smoked by kings and millionaires. There are many so-called Vuelta Abajos on the market. Hut the real thing, once smoked, can never be mistaken, for there is no other to-
bacco in the world with a.n aroma at once so powerful and so delicate.’’
