“When these are made, the next bales should be made of tobacco chosen from the inferior class of leaves, of which 3 classes ought to be made, and called _sano_, _quebrado_, and _desecho de tercera_. In the first class of these, which we will call third quality, should be placed all the sound leaves which have any consistency; and this would form a weak _capa_, equal to that which is now called clear fifths, _quinta limpia_, and this might be called _sano de tercera_. The second class should contain the torn or broken leaves of good consistency, but not so much broken or injured as to merit only the name of shavings, as the leaves which are very much torn, or small pieces of leaves, are called. This class would be called _quebrado de tercera_, and might be used for inferior _tripa_. The last class of this quality, after throwing away all the useless leaves, would be called _desecho_. “After this, and in the same order as the preceding, three classes should be made from the sortings for the heaps of bad seconds and thirds, and called _sano_, _quebrado_, and _tripa_ of the second class. The first of these should contain all the sound leaves, and should be called _sano de segunda_, second-class sound. The second should be composed of the damaged leaves, but good for making _capa_, and should be called second-class broken; and the third, which will be the most broken, should be called second-class _tripa_. “Finally, the picking, or sorting for the pile of pairs of crown leaves should be made; and of this quality there should also be three classes, which will be denominated ‘_sano_,’ ‘_quebrado_,’ and ‘_tripa de corona_,’ observing always the same order as was done for the piles or heaps of seconds and thirds. “Sorting carried on in this order is so simplified that we do not doubt it might be done in one-third the time taken under the present system; and the labour of the resorters would be dispensed with, which most of the _vegueros_ have now to employ and pay, as many of them do not consider themselves sufficiently expert in the matter to classify their own tobacco. This classification and nomenclature represent exact qualities to which a relative value can be fixed, and may serve as a base for mercantile transactions.
