Tobacconist Tip
#653

While 7 out of 10 men smoked cigars around 1905, by the 1920s, a decline in premium cigar smoking was precipitated by the advent of the cigar rolling machine, the financial crash of 1929, and the mass production of cigarettes. Ultimately, industrialization quickened the pace of life and lead to the shift from cigars to cigarettes.
