Chapter 285

"Chief, this cigarette... Well, it's really enjoyable to smoke. It's much better than a pipe... Is that the paper you asked me to make for this kind of cigarette?" David Addison asked the stone bear as he puffed. Beside him, a group of smokers with a white cigarette were puffing like immortals.

The stone bear took a sip of the cigarette, narrowed his eyes slightly, and nodded intoxicatedly.

Although this kind of local cigarette can't be compared with the filter cigarette of later generations, it can definitely be compared with the cigarette at the beginning of the 20th century or even at the time of the founding of the people's Republic of China. If there's something bad about it, it's that the weight of each cigarette is different, and the flavor of tobacco leaves is not the same as that of later generations of cigarettes with various spices.

But in this age, it's pretty good to be able to smoke paper cigarettes. After all, in this era, smokers all over the world can only smoke a pipe if they want to smoke. Maybe some people begin to make hand-made cigarettes with paper, but where can the hand-made "big trumpet gun" have such mechanically rolled cigarettes?

In the original historical time and space, the cigarette machine used to make cigarettes would not be invented by Susini until more than 100 years later. This kind of cigarette machine first rolled the cigarette paper into a paper tube, and then filled the inside with cut tobacco.

This kind of cigarette machine is slow, not to mention, the weight of filling tobacco can not be controlled, so this kind of machine was soon eliminated.

Then, in 1880, bonsack, an American, invented the cigarette maker, which continuously cut into strips and then cut into cigarettes. This cigarette maker has the rudiment of modern cigarette maker of later generations.

Compared with the filling cigarette maker invented by suzieni, which can only roll 3600 cigarettes an hour, that is, about 60 cigarettes a minute, the cigarette maker invented by bonsack, which continuously forms strips and then cuts into strips, has much faster cigarette speed.

The cigarette machine invented by bonsack can process 15000 cigarettes an hour, which is equivalent to 250 cigarettes per minute. This speed is undoubtedly much faster.

After the invention of this cigarette maker, it was immediately sought after by many people. Benjamin Duke and James Duke of the United States decisively adopted this cigarette maker and invested a lot of money to build a cigarette factory, which made the cigarette industry develop rapidly. As a result, the Duke brothers became the masters of American tobacco industry.

Well, it's worth mentioning that James Duke later became the first chairman of British American tobacco, the world's largest tobacco company.

There was a famous cigarette factory in the province where Shi Xiong lived in the past. It was the earliest cigarette factory in the province where Shi Xiong's hometown was. At that time, "Laodao" cigarettes and "Pinhai" cigarettes produced by this cigarette factory sold well all over the country.

After liberation, the tobacco factory was also nationalized, and the equipment was transformed. Some of the old cigarette machines were destroyed, some were transformed, and of course, one set was preserved and put on display in the provincial museum where Shi Xiong lived.

This set of cigarette machine is very primitive, far from being able to compare with those modern cigarette machines of later generations, and the speed of cigarettes per minute is only a few hundred, but this set of cigarette machine makes Shi Xiong fully understand how the early cigarettes were produced.

Because he understood the working principle of this cigarette maker, Shi Xiong decided to make cigarettes in this era.

Compared with salt, this kind of spiritual food is more popular in Europe. In today's era, when most Europeans smoke pipes, if cigarettes are put into the European market, they will get more than salt.

Even in later generations, everyone knows how much tobacco profits.

And the stone bear himself is a smoker. When he first came to this world, although he had a pipe to be addicted to, he was used to smoking cigarettes in his previous life and didn't really like it.

Therefore, whether it is out of the huge profits of tobacco or out of stone bear's own hobby, this cigarette must be made.

The most important thing is that the stone bear also wants to control some people in Europe by controlling this kind of cigarette, especially if it wants to control people by adding some other "ingredients" to the cigarette.

Therefore, before leading the expedition team to revenge, the stone bear gave David Addison how to make the cigarette paper needed for cigarettes, and let Momo grass take charge of cutting the tobacco leaves and drying them.

In this way, when the stone bear returned from the creek tribe, he began to instruct Jack Williams to make the bonsack cigarette maker.

Of course, this kind of cigarette machine is manual, that is, through the same principle as stepping on the sewing machine, through the belt to drive.

The structure of this kind of cigarette machine is not complicated. The dried tobacco is rolled into long strips, then gathered together and cut one by one. A long cigarette can be cut into four cigarettes, and a cigarette maker can make about 100 cigarettes a minute.

The speed of this kind of cigarette can't even compare with that of the original bunsack cigarette maker, but there's no way. Even the original bunsack cigarette maker is powered by steam engine, and stone bear points out that the cigarette maker made by Jack Williams is pure human power, and the speed is naturally different.

But it doesn't matter. If you want to increase production, just make more cigarette machines. Anyway, this kind of manual cigarette maker is not complicated, and it's not hard to make.

When Williams made a cigarette maker, the stone bear also took Momo grass and several women to teach them how to add their own flavors to the tobacco leaves and how to make tobacco chips.

Tobacco is grown in the tribes themselves. Tobacco is the origin of the American continent. Almost every tribe here grows tobacco.

The quality of American tobacco is very good. After drying the stems, dilute honey with Baijiu, then add some flowers in the spring and dry them into the honey, so that they can be made into simple flavors, then stir with the tobacco.

This kind of essence can not compare with the flavors made by dozens of species or even hundreds of spices which are often added to later generations, but in this era, it is far more than Ye Ziqiang, a smoker.

When the flavor is added, it is to stir fry tobacco. When the tobacco is fired, it is OK to control the heat.

When the cut tobacco is fried, it can be processed.

Although the fried tobacco is very simple and the cigarette has no filter, this kind of cigarette is definitely the first cigarette in the world.

Today is the day when the first batch of cigarettes were made, and when the first batch of cigarettes were taken off the cigarette machine, they became the first people to enjoy the cigarettes.
