Known in trade as Columbian and was originally procured from the town of Palmyra, Columbia, South America. This class of tobacco is usually imported unstemmed and tied in bunches in a similar manner to Virginia and other, American unstemmed unmanufactured tobacco, but in this instance it has been stemmed probably for the purpose of saving freight or poss for more conveniently packing it with goods free of duty to defraud the Revenue.
