In order to compare the figures on cigar tobacco use and exr, _th 

 figures on production and stocks, the use and export data should ,ed 



from an unste mined processing weight basis to a farm-sales weight basis. The 

 statistics on supplies of tobacco are normally expressed in terms of farm-: 

 weight - -the weight in which cigar tobacco is generally sold directly 

 farm or delivered to a cooperative. The tobacco loses weight in being pre- 

 pared for storage and during the storage period; much of the loss is r 

 Such losses range between 15 and 21 percent, varying by type. / be 

 versions have been made and the figures appearing in table 4 on an unste re- 

 processing weight basis are shown in table 5 on an estimated farm - sale ;_____ 

 basis .

PROJECTED REQUIREMENTS OF CIGAR TOBACCO BY 1$65 



This section projects the requirements for cigar tobacco to the 196?- 

 marketing year. Total requirements for domestic types include what would be 

 needed for cigars, scrap chewing, and exports. Primary attention is given to 

 cigar filler tobacco, as the impact of a cut-off of Cuban tobac - -ild fall 

 mainly on tobacco for this cigar component. 



U. S. production of cigars — in domestic factories, bendc. 

 warehouses, and in Puerto Rico — is projected at between 7. 7 and 7«8 b 

 the 1965 marketing year. Production was about 7*2 I 



September i960, and 7-0 billion is indicated for : . Septeratu^ 



1961. Although cigar manufacture was down in l^oO-ol. :
