Tobacco trade shifts as domestic leaf may supplant Havana cigars
The article argues a flood of Spanish tobacco into the United States could be kept from customs, with 200000 bales weighing 110 pounds each. It notes proposed duties around 25 cents per pound and potential price impacts. It highlights Wisconsin and Ohio as filler sources and Connecticut and Illinois as wrapper origins, claiming domestic tobaccos could lower cigar prices while expanding production. It also reports 700000 farmers in tobacco and a large capital investment, signaling a new era for native agriculture and rising leaf prices. James Barton signs the piece predicting a prosperous shift for U S tobacco farming and industry.
