"There are something like 14,OOQ.(jOO
cigar boxes used In the United States
annually, and about nine tenths of that
number are made in thia city, where
tba trade rivals the clothing Industry In
point of capital invested, slid the num
ber of people employed," said a lead
ing cigar box manufacturer In New
York to the writer. "The material out
of which the beat boxes are mudo
cornea principally from Cuba, and I»
known aa Hpanlah cedar. The recent
war with Kpaln shortened the •»¡»ply
and Increased the price of the article
to such an extent that many box mak
ers have been compelled to use a cheap
er and leas desirable grade of wood for
the purpose.
"One New York flrm baa been experi
menting with timber from the unex
plored Paraguayan forests, which are
said to contain the finest cedar wood
In tlie world They have, however, ex
perienced considerable difficulty In sell
ing their lioxes as cigar manufacturers
and counolaseura Insist that It spoil» a
fine cigar to put It In any box not made
of genuine Hpanlah cedar. The latter
wood alwaya retains the flavor of a
good cigar. Indeed, some people claim
that It Improves the flavor. The reason
given la that It grows In the same lo
calities aa the tieat Havana tobacco.
"Attempts made to use cedar grown
In the United States for cigar boxes
have not been very successful. The
Florida and South American cedar con
tains a peculiar gum that melt» when
the wood 1» exposed to the heat of a

sometime» the ctg»rs In a box are

er brands of cigars are leas particular
about the quality of the wood used for
their boxes, and a veneered cedar,
made from a peculiar sort of cedar that
grows In Mexico. Is often substituted
for the Spanish article. But It cannot

even a good cigar when packed in such
