Tobacco was the cement of Indians social life. Tobacco linked all the individual life of the Indian to that of his society. Tobacco was a sacramental method of communion that linked human beings to each other and to the divine power in bonds of peace and solidarity, like the sealing of an oath. Ortiz. The Cuban Counterpoint.

•  “Taking tobacco was for the courtiers, highborn gentlemen and clergy of olden times in Europe a habit of great social distinction, like having little black slaves, monkeys, parrots, and macaws around them.” Ortiz.

•  “The cigarette was sponsored by the beggar soldier farmer and workingman; the cigar for the clergy, Indian chief, the man in power and the wealthier middleclass.

•  Tobacco use by this time would take a individual, hedonistic purpose that departed from the communal value given by Native Americans.
