MALTBY GELSTON, OF EAST HADDAM, CONNECTICUT.
IMPROVEMENT IN CIGARS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 190,849. dated May 15, 1877; application tiled January 25, 1877.
To all whom it may concern.:
'Be it known that I, MALTBY GELs'roN, of East Haddam, in the county of Middlesex and the State of Connecticut, have invented an Improvement in Cigars; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming part of this specilication.
My invention has for its objects to render practicable the use of Havana scrap-tobacco or other scrap-tobacco of fine quality for the 'fillers of cigars, and at the same time to e'ect a saving in the quantity of such tobacco required for the fille-rs by filling the head of the cigar, which is not smoked, with a much cheaper material than that used for the part of the filler which is consumed in smoking, the Havana scrap when so used for fillers producing a cigar in all respects equal to those illed with the more expensive stripped Ha vana leaf-tobacco.
The invention consists in a cigar the head of which is filled with straight cuttings of interior tobacco, arranged lengthwise of the cigar, while the rest of the filler is made of scraps of Havana tobacco, or scraps of other tobacco of tine quality.
Figure 1 in the drawing represents a iinished cigar made in accordance with my improvement. Fig. 2 represents a central vertical and longitudinal section of the same.
A represents the wrapper, made, preferably, of Connecticut seed-leai` tobacco. B represents that part of the filler which is consumed in smoking. C represents that part of the iiller in the head of the cigar which is not consumed, but is thrown away after the cigar has been smoked.
The principal part, B, of the filler, is made of what is known as avana scrap, or scraps of other tobacco of fine quality, and consequently of high price. Said Havana scraps,
at prices now ruling, cost from seventy-live (75) cents to one (l) dollar per pound.
The part C of the filler in the head of the cigar is made of straight cuttings of Connecticut seed-leaf tobacco, or other tobacco of a grade inferior to that used for filling the rest of the cigar, said cuttings being placed lengthwise in the head of the cigar. Said Connecticut seed-leaf'tobacco costs, at prices now ruling, from seven (7) to eight (8) cents per pound.
It will be seen that by the use ot' inferior tobacco for filling the head of the cigar an important saving is made in the amount ol' tobacco-scrap of tine quality required in the liller. But another important advantage is also secured by my invention. The use of the Connecticut seed-leaf tobacco in straight cuttings in the head of the cigar prevents the tobacco-scrap constituting the remainder of the filler from being drawn into the mouth in smoking, and, as the scrap is of just as fine quality as the stripped leaf of the same tobacco, I can, by my improvement, produce a cigar which will smoke as well as one entirely lled with stripped leaf-tobacco, but at a much less cost.
I am aware that a cigarette has been constructed with a thick butt-ended mouthpiece having a tilling of the stems of tobacco-leaf; but such is not my invention, which consists in iilling the tapering tip with straight cnttings ot' leaf-tobacco, whereby the tip can be readily bitten o' like the tip of an ordinary cigar, and at the same time I accomplish the object hereinbefore stated.
I claim- As a new article of manufacture, a cigar having a tapering tip filled with straight cuttings of tobaccoleat, as set forth.
MALTBY GELSTON.
