Also was said the factory would only allow a single cigar per day per worker. So some clever roller decided to twist 3 together to make 1, thus he had three cigars when taken apart.
Couple other variations out there.

Yes a single cigar rollers days alotment of cigars in the old days. that way they could tell wether they were smoking the twisted cigars or the production cigars. Theft prevention of the old days.

I read it on the interweb it must be true, if not that changes everything.

Well then what is the deal with them, I've read a few articles and they all seem to vary as to why these came about.

Essentially, it started in the Philippines in the 1800's and initially had to do with a theory on aging, but as the practice spread, it simply become more of a sales gimmick.

There's more to the story, but rather than try and remember it, I'll post it for you this evening.

Funny thing is, that's probably more plausible than a lot of the other erroneous reasons being floated around out there.

I heard they were last seen rolling down route 9 searching for a crater left by the recent re-entry of a spent Russian capsule that was targeting South Beach Miami three days before Mardi Gras is celebrated in the Orthodox calendar. Though not confirmed yet, the Independent Elite 7 will be asking serious questions to vertically challanged people on the whereabouts of 355 missing militia-men that are responsible for the numerous hi-jackings of predominately orange Smart Cars from the paking lots of failed Mexican restaurants in the famous East Side of Chicago. Columbus Day will never have the same meaning again thanks to all the complaining on the threads about over-bidding. Thanks Dave ![ram27bat]
