A Man's Character Seen in How He Handles a Cigar

1921

NOTE HOW FRIEND SMOKES

It Is Said Man's Character Can Be Told by His Handling of His Cigar.

According to an enterprising American scientist a man's character can now be told from the way he smokes cigars.

The man who smokes is easily recognized. His lips will show it, without his speaking. He who fixes his cigar deeply in his mouth is of a nature resolute, skeptical and abrupt; one who bites off the end of his cigar is careless, thoughtless or listless.

When the cutter is used to nip off the end, the smoker may be considered a man of caution. The user of the amber holder is a delicate person. The man who smokes his cigar to the end is a faithful friend, a constant husband and of a persevering nature.

If one is in the habit of throwing away the cigar when only half-smoked, he is in danger of being considered fickle, blasé and a trifler.
