Back before the Civil War, you would not have caught many American men sucking on cigarettes. They were cigar smokers, and even though the European habit of smoking Turkish blends had made its way to East Coast cities, most men rejected the quick smoke as a diversion for dandies. Sophisticated women did pick up on the bohemian fad, although they usually sneaked their exotic puffs in secret.
But the war changed that. Northern soldiers, particularly those who marched into the Deep South with General Sherman, got their first taste of sweet-tasting domestic tobacco. They quickly developed a fondness for hand-rolled cigarettes, rolling their own with W.T. Blackwell Bull Durham tobacco.
Roll your owns were cheap and popular in rural areas. Blackwell even sold his Bull Durham smoking tobacco in convenient muslin pouches, complete with rolling papers. Then came the hand-rolling factories, such as F.S. Kinney and Sons in Manhattan and Allen and Ginter in Richmond, Virginia, staffed largely by young women trained in their craft by Eastern European immigrants. The best ones could roll four to five cigarettes a minute.
