[GAINESVILLE NEW&, i WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 22, 1902.^ i>«r uvtcu anorner word Sometimes* it is Colorado, sometimes it is elaro and at other times it is maduro. This indi cates the color of the cigars within, or, as uninformed smokers say, the “strength.” The lightest of all cigars are a yellowish brown. They are called elaros. Next in order come the Colora do claros, which are a darker brown, and then come the^ colorados, which are about midway between black and yellow. After the colorados come the Colorado maduros, which are a dark brown, and then the maduros, which are well nigh black. Formerly another color was in vogue. This was the os- curo. and it was a shiny black. But of late the fashion has been for light cigars, and the word oscuro has almost dropped out of use. Ot course brain they frequently get their calculations. LANGUAGE GE CIGARS THE TERMS USED IN THE TRADE ARE GREEK TO MOST SMOKERS. Unless a man p r( never hope to obtain so says a spinster.

Whenever the average untutored to bacco lover wishes to indicate to his envious friends that he is in possession of a cigar of the first quality, he usual ly says that he has a perfecto. By perfecto he means the best cigar ob tainable, and as a rule he applies the name to all products of the Havana declares an A woman’s idea of, to have things charged But in truth, factories. intelligent writer in the Kansas City Journal, a good Refractive Power t of the Ruby. The primitive form of the spinel ruby is like that of the diamond, eight sided, which distinguishes it at once from the oriental stone. The color of the genuine ruby is that of the arte rial blood, or pigeon’s blood, as it is called. It is extremely hard and after the sapphire is the hardest of the corundums, which renders it difficult to understand why the earth so rarely gives it up. Its tint is as beautiful by artificial light as by day, and its pow ers of reflection are so great that an cient belief credited it with power of emitting light. The ancients even sup posed that it would shine through clothing with undiminished power. many cigars that never saw Havana are genuine per- fectos, and a good -jciany made in, the most famous factories of the Cuban capital are net. The word, as a mat ter of fact, does not refer to the quality of a cigar at all. It is sir.iply a term used to describe <ne shape. A perfecto may cost $1, and it may rest 2M: cents. There are ha^f n dozen cigar terms thus misused by tue average smoker, and there are several times as many words of the same sort whose mean ing he is utterly unable to fathom. What native, corn fed smoker, for in stance, knows the difference between a panetela and a Reina Victoria? And how many know whether there is a real difference between a mr^luro and an oscuro? Yet ail of these terms are the common property of cigar makers all over the world. Like many cigar brand names, they are of Spanish ori gin, but the wanderings of Havana tobacco and Cuban cigars have taken them into all countries and all lan guages. The great majority of cigars are put up fifty in a box, with thirteen on the top row, twelve on the row next to the top, thirteen on the next and twelve on the bottom row. Wheir a londres cigar is packed 100 in a box in two bundles tied with a ribbon, it becomes a Reina Victoria, which is Spanish for Queen Victoria. Early in the late queen’s reign a Cuban manufacturer invented this method of packing and called the resultant buudle after Great Britain’s sovereign. The name has re mained ever since. The word perfecto is a term indicat ing a certain shape in cigars. A per fecto is a smoke having what is gen erally called the “cigar shape”—that is to say, it is swelled near the end which is lighted and tapers gradually down to- the point, or head. The end of a cigar Which a smoker puts in his ^nouth is known among cigar makers as the head. The other end, that which is lighted, is called the tuck. When, as often happens in a perfecto, the tuck is very small, it is called a needle tuck or feather tuck. All others follow these lines more or less closely. A thin, straight cigar, with little more thickness in the middle than at the tuck, is called a panetela. The average panetela is slightly longer than a perfecto, though the matter of size has nothing to do with the shape. Panetelas are esteemed because they burn more regularly and are usually better because more easily made. The virtue of the perfecto is that its small er tuck lights more readily, and Its more artistic curves give it greater beauty. A londres is a sdrt of cross between the perfecto and the panetela. It is a perfecto from the head to the thick est part, and from there on to the tuck it is betwixt and between. Usually the slope from the thickest part to the tuck has a gradual curve. The tuck | as a rule is as large as that of a pane tela. A partegas is a cigar shaped much like a londres, except that the slope from the thickest part to the head is usually not so rounded. It is a shape not now as fashionable as it used to be, and even when cigars are genuine partegas. the box is seldom stamped with the name. A conchas is a small blunt cigar. As a rule it is a very satisfactory smoke, and usually it lasts as long as a per fecto. This is because that thin tuck of the latter burns down rapidly.
