Date:1904
Description:In addition to the wealth of documents about alcohol is a small book published by Richard Benson, the famous Bristol Cigar Merchant called ‘Concerning Tobacco’. Benson sent an advertisement to the Duke of Sutherland in 1904 ‘to call attention to his large carefully-selected stock of’ Havana Cigars. His publication provides detailed information about these cigars, and also British Cigars, commenting that ‘for hunting and general out-door use we know of no cigars more useful’. The publication then goes on to describe the different varieties of tobacco in a section called ‘smoking tobaccos: descriptive notes’. The tobaccos described include ‘Yorick’, which is ‘intended for those who, while liking plenty of aroma, object to anything approaching coarseness or undue strength’.
