1937 Here is Something that will interest you (3 rd edition)

Tobacco will readily absorb moisture, as also any strong scent to which it is exposed. It is, therefore, necessary, for the proper maturing of Havana Qgars, that they should be kept in a receptacle exclusively devoted to them. Many complaints against the dgar itself are solely attributable to careless storing. The finest-flavoured Havana Cigar is soon ruined,and its original character destroyed,if it is not properly kept. A flne cigar should be smoked slowly, otherwise the combustion will be imperfect and the greater part of its deUcate aroma lost BRITISH CIGARS This term does not mean that the tobacco used is British grown but that the cigars have been blended and made in England. For obvious chmatic reasons the British Qgar makers cannot hope to produce an article quite as good as the best native product of Cuba,butan excellent cheap cigar is made by the use of imported Havana leaf.
