CONSUMPTION OF cigars was
op last year, Hendrickson said.
Tneie were about 6 2 billion ci
gars manufactuied and sold In
audition there weie 34 1 million
pounds ot tobacco used for scrap
chewing and 200,000 pounds ex
ported
Cut the scrap chewing maiket
is showing a yearly decline and
tne expoit market is not likely to
mciease
Cigais, however are not using
rs much tobacco as they used to
In the five years from 1950 to
1°54, there was about 26 pounds
ol filler in each thousand Cigala-
Last year there was only 24
pounds of filler m each 1,000
cigars
This has meant that the total
use of filler for cigars dropped
20 million pounds, if production
vas equal
PROCESSED BINDER and the
tiend toward production ahd use
of smaller cigais, such as the slim
pan tell a and cigaullos, has done
much to decrease the amount of
filler needed in a cigar
Not much Lancaster County
t ibacco is used in processed bind
er, Hendrickson said He estimat
ed the total in use now at some
thing over 200 000 pounds, which
is nearly equal to the total export

the filler in a cigar stems from one cigar, m total production A
the fact that processed leaf is amounts to a considerable figure
thicker, thus reducing the volume Also speaking at the meeting
