BREVAS. A short, thick cigar. 



NOBLESSE. The largest and most expensive 



cigars. 



In addition to the above there is a multitude 

 of trade names, such as Club House, Hoffman 

 House, Rothschilds, Invincibles, Perfectos, etc., 

 etc. Some of these terms merely denote par- 

 ticular brands put out by certain makers and 

 to distinguish their products. The Spanish 

 terms refer to the cigar itself and not to the 

 maker. They may be used by any maker, and 

 no longer refer to any standard of excellence.
