Get PDFFinding aid, scan and typescript (Click on Additional Files below) for Manuscripts Small Collection 3417. Letter, 12 December 1824, of John Edwards, Lexington, Kentucky to George W. Williams, Paris, Kentucky. The former U.S. senator offers to discuss the terms on which Williams is to hire out slaves for Edwards’s factory business, but declines his request to train them in cigar-making. He also reports on his law studies, his hopes for financial success, and on a recent visit to Frankfort, Kentucky, where he found state legislators to be “mere factionists,” “without intelligence, without principle, dignity, [or] virtue.
By Appointment / Propositions [curated by Close But No Cigar]
No full textA “CLOSE BUT NO CIGAR” research project started as a proposal to the ICA to launch the project “By Appointment”, inviting unknown artists to suggest ideas for an exhibition at the ICA. The aim was to bypass the “invitation only” approach to exhibition programming and to raise questions regarding the value and kudos contemporary institutions offer artists.For this project, I made Remasculation: putting the dick back into art, a 150-word proposal for a solo exhibition, at the ICA. As text based art, it contributed to the field of conceptual art, referencing artists like Barbara Kruger, Jenny Holzer, or, more explicitly, the humour in Martin Creed’s work or Richard Prince’s monochrome joke paintings. Of course, the use of humour in my work, to highlight the childishness of artists chasing recognition, fortune and fame, differs greatly to Princes’ satirical ‘one-liners’. The humour in my text is more oblique, and might not be recognised at all. Even if this is the case, I feel the self-indulgence of the artist comes through.The proposal was exhibited as part of a group exhibition (of proposals) called “By Appointment/Propositions curated by Close But No Cigar – a research project in itself.Taking inspiration from projects by Free Class Frankfurt, which draw attention to “the humiliating competition for a place among those 5 per cent, who at least temporarily survive from their income as artists” I wanted to question why artists continue to make competitive applications (Propositions if you like) when the process can indeed be considered humiliating, hierarchical (the artist submits to the judgement of a panel), stressful, and, of course, unpaid.I was interested by Close But No Cigar’s use of the work Kudos and instead of attacking the institution, or art system, I decided to turn my attention to the artists reconsidering them as potentially attention-seeking and self indulgent. At the same time I wanted to explore the macho culture associated with the career of the Fine Artist – who has to constantly take rejection on the chin and keep pressing on, sure of their artistic worth drawing on misguided, but romantic, notions of the suffering artist.</p
Turning over a new leaf? The Havana cigar revisited
No full textDiscusses the historical and contemporary context of the crisis and reforms in the Cuban cigar sector. Author focuses on developments in the period 1992-94 when Cuba sank to, and pulled out of, the depths of the post-1989 crisis. This was when competition from the post-1992 boom of cigars made with Havana seed leaf grown outside Cuba became fierce. She concludes by considering scholarly interpretations of the 1990s agrarian reforms and emphasizes the need to foreground the interplay between external and internal factors

Respiratory symptoms and outcomes among cigar smokers: findings from the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) study waves 2–5 (2014–2019)
No full textAbstract Background The mechanisms by which cigarette smoking increases the risk of respiratory disease have been studied. However, less is known about risks of respiratory symptoms and outcomes associated with smoking cigars, and risks by cigar types have not been previously explored. The aim of this study was to examine associations between cigar use, including traditional cigars, cigarillos, filtered cigars, and dual cigar and cigarette use, and functionally important respiratory symptoms (FIRS), lifetime asthma diagnosis, uncontrolled asthma, and new cases of FIRS. Methods Data from Waves 2–5 (2014–19) of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study, a nationally representative longitudinal study, were analyzed in two ways. For cross-sectional analysis, the analytic sample included adults 18 and older at each wave, resulting in 44,040 observations. Separately, longitudinal analyses were assessed among adults 18 and older at Wave 2, resulting in 7,930 individuals. Both analyses excluded adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or non-asthma respiratory disease. Results Current established cigarillo smokers had higher odds of having FIRS (Adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 1.72; 95% CI: 1.08, 2.74) compared to never smokers of cigarillos and cigarettes, after adjusting for covariates. Current established filtered cigar smokers had higher odds of asthma diagnosis (AOR: 1.35; 95% CI: 1.10, 1.66) while current established dual smokers of filtered cigars and cigarettes had higher odds of uncontrolled asthma (AOR: 5.13; 95% CI: 1.75, 15.02) compared to never smokers of filtered cigars or cigarettes. Both current established cigar smokers and current established dual smokers of cigarettes and cigars had higher odds of new FIRS compared to never cigar or cigarette smokers (AORs: 1.62; 95% CI: 1.02, 2.60 for exclusive cigars and 2.55; 95% CI 1.57, 4.14 for dual smokers). Conclusions This study provides evidence that cigar smokers or dual smokers of cigars and cigarettes have greater odds of FIRS, asthma, and uncontrolled asthma and that new incidence of FIRS is higher among any cigar smokers compared to never cigar or cigarette smokers. Understanding health impacts associated with cigar use provides information for supporting policy development, as well as for designing clinical interventions focused on smoking cessation for cigars
