BIZARRE CIGAR BAZZAR...

ci.gar' (si.gar'), n. [Sp. cigarro, prob. from Maya sik'ar, passive or inchoative of sik'eh smoke, from sik' tobacco.] A small roll of tobacco, used for smoking. The cigar is made by binding a number of short or long pieces of leaf (short or long filler) together and covering them with a finer piece of leaf, stripped of stalks, called the wrapper. The ends are usually tapered. By act of July 24, 1897, c.11, sec. 10, of the Revised Statutes of the United States it is provided that all rolls of tobacco, or any substitute therefore, wrapped with tobacco, shall be classed as cigars, and all rolls of tobacco, or any subsitute therefor, wrapped in paper, or any substance other than tobacco, shalled be classed as cigarettes. Under this ruling the so-called "all-tobacco cigarettes" are now designated as "cigars."
