“The manufacturer will not have to contend with bales of mixed tobacco containing all the different classes which the _vega_ may have produced; and he will find this division very convenient to determine the time when each class may be used without having any loss from finding in them leaves that are not seasoned, whilst others of the same bale, and perhaps of the same _manojo_, may have become deteriorated from having remained too long in fermentation. The manufacturer will, without any great trouble, be able to make the assortment for strong and weak _tripa_ according to the quality of _capa_ which is going to be used, a most essential point in cigar making, and thus he will be able to make cigars with all perfection. All these advantages will result from adopting the reform in the manner of sorting which we propose. And, in spite of its simplicity, it is much more positive and extensive, as it will be composed of four qualities subdivided into eleven classes. The consumer, too, will have the advantage of being able to procure cigars manufactured completely of the quality which he prefers, and the contents of each box, or each set of boxes, will be all equal both in flavour and colour, which, under the present system, it is difficult to find. The classes will be styled:— { 1st class Sound crown. First quality { 2nd ” Broken ” { 3rd ” Stuffing ” { 1st class Sound seconds. Second quality { 2nd ” Broken ” { 3rd ” Stuffing ” { 1st class Sound thirds. Third quality { 2nd ” Broken ” { 3rd ” Stuffing ” Fourth quality, 1st and 2nd Suckers and sprouts. “It is scarcely necessary to add that, according to the preceding system of sorting, only 3 divisions, cases, or rooms, with _yaguas_, will be required for depositing the respective qualities which the workmen may be assorting, until sufficient quantity has been collected in each to commence the seasoning or painting, _betumeo_, _enmannillado_, or _engavillado_, _manojo_, and _enterciadura_.
