While the foregoing figures represent the actual difference between the production and 

 exportation of manufactured tobacco, it is not a true statement of the actual consumjition 

 of the people in Cuba, as it must be remembered that large quantities of cigars and cigarettes, 

 are j^m-chased annually by visitors and taken out of the country with them to be consumed 

 abroad. Also, residents of Cuba are in the habit of taking supplies of cigars and cigarettes 

 with them when they go abroad for visits. There is, of course, no record of these exports. 

 Considerable quantities of cigars and cigarettes are also sent to countries other than the 

 United States by mail, of which there is no record. Altogether, it is probable that these 

 exports represent an annual value of more than $1,000,000.
