Origin of cigars
discover and disseminate The Native Americans on what is now the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico may have been the first people to grow tobacco. After that, the cultivation of tobacco began in South America and North America. The earliest people who grew or smoked tobacco can no longer be traced, but it is certain that Europeans did not know of tobacco until after Columbus' voyage discovered the New World in 1492. It all started with Columbus's discovery of the New World, when two sailors from Columbus discovered that Cuban Indians used palm or plantain leaves to roll up dry, twisted tobacco leaves to smoke, which is the original cigar. Under the research, it was discovered that there is a plant that has never been seen on the island. The indigenous people use the leaves of this plant, dry it, burn it, and suck its smoke. Columbus brought the discovered tobacco seeds back to planting, which became the latest trend of European nobles. The main leaves were rolled into cigars, and the remaining parts and bad leaves were used as cigarettes and pipe tobacco. The government noticed that more and more people were smoking tobacco, so it began to collect taxes to make money. Because it was so profitable, the seeds were brought to the colony to be planted in large quantities. American colonies, African colonies, Indonesian colonies, etc. all grow tobacco in large quantities. The habit of smoking quickly spread to Spain and Portugal, and soon to France and Italy. In the mid-16th century, Europeans were quite familiar with tobacco. fold English name origin The original text of the cigar is not in English, and the spelling is not Cigar, it is not a noun, but a verb.
