Davidoff himself, the owner of
a famous cigar shop in Geneva,
regards it as "a companion, and
a rare one that will never slip
away."
Designed to resemble strikingly
a cigar box, the book authorita-
tively describes "The Know-How
of the Smoker," including definite
rules of cigar etiquette and treat-
ment: ". . . when lighting, the
cigar should be kept around a third
of an inch from the flame . . . A
cigar ought'- 'not be lighted too
quickly or too slowly but evenly,
in small puffs. A successful light I
lays the ground for a regular and
even smoke."
Discussing "Choosing a Cigar,"
Davidoff maintains that "There is
an occasion for each cigar and a
cigar for each occasion:"
"A cigar should fit your mood,

M.E. Political Force?
BOSTON (JTA) — The Arab
guerrilla movement is emerging as
a political force in the Middle
East with its power and prestige
steadily growing, according to a
report to the Christian Science
Monitor from correspondent Peter
Max S. Mellas in Beirut.
The correspondent reported that
the "feeling is prevalent that pros-
pects for a neaceful settlement in
the Middle East are fast diminish-
ing. Commando spokesmen are
ready to give assurances that theirs
is only a liberating mission and
not a political movement," Mellas
reported. But, he added, "Sea-
soned observers agree that the
commando movement cannot en-
tirely avoid political implications.
These observers also point to the
perils of the commando move-
ment's developing into a leftist
force in the Middle East."
The correspondent noted that in
the view of observers, as a revolu-
tionary movement, "The comman-
dos cannot avoid leftist influences.
Add to this the assistance they
have been receiving from Marxist
nations, the observers say, and one
has the picture in its full magni-
ture, unless the West manages to
change the tide."
