       This is a partial list of U.S., Canadian and Cuban Government documents I own as originals or as photo copies (most entries indicate which). Both national and state or provincial documents are included as are a few related items. A good many items included in the “Hand-Written_Items” bibliography are government ledgers and forms that could have been, but are not, included here.

        This is not a complete list of what exists;

        If you find ANY pre-1950 publication related to cigars that is not listed in my bib please let me know, especially Directories and      Gov’t regulations, reports or documents.

This list was created for me by me. It is arranged for my ease of use and follows no specific bibliographic form. This document and the information herein is provided for your information, saving you years of research. It is not to be copied, duplicated, scanned, photographed or reproduced in any way in whole or part without my written permission.
