The trade movements of the export and manufacturing types are 
of course not entirely separate from the cigar types, and one could 
easily find points of real’ contact and more or less striking points of 
similarity. There are no official figures to quote, but it is generally 
known by those connected with the trade that every year some of 
the export types of tobacco are used in the manufacture of cheap 
cigars, stogies, and cheroots. Conversely, a considerable quantity 
of cigar leaf in the aggregate is used in manufactured tobacco, 
particularly in those brands known as scrap tobacco, made largely 
from cigar cuttings and the heavier and commoner grades of cigar 
leaf. As noted in Table I, also, more than 2,000,000 cigars are 
exported annually, which is an insignificant quantity compared with 
our imports or home consumption, and it is generally known that a 
small quantity of cigar leaf is exported annually, notably to Canada, 
England, and Germany. 
Imports include also a very small quantity of manufactured 
tobacco, mostly fancy brands used by foreigners resident here; some 
cigarettes, mostly of Turkish tobacco; and a considerable and rapidly 
increasing quantity of Turkish leaf now amounting to about 10,000,000 
pounds annually for use in manufacturing Turkish cigarettes and for 
blending with our own domestic cigarette and smoking-tobacco 
mixtures.
