There's a lot of interesting info on this page, but it's not all "about" cheroots. Some of it (e.g. Mark Twain's death date) I trimmed; the rest I left. But it does read a bit like an ad for Avanti cigars. I didn't want to destroy value by removing the text, but editors who know more about the subject than I do might want to re-arrange the article so it's more focused on cheroots. Some of the anecdotal stuff could use references, too. -- Metahacker 00:44, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article could easily do without the last two of the Mark Twain paragraphs The remainder of that section should then be merged to the previous one. Another thing, I'm a bit confused over the smell of cheroots. Are they universally stinky? Or are just cheap machine-made ones stinky? Frotz661 10:48, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Italian Toscani and Brazilian Charutos

These are longstanding, highly significant and sizable cheroot cigar-making traditions. They should be included here. Indeed, the word cheroot probably came into English from Portuguese, not French.

There are large articles in the Italian and Portuguese Wikipedias.

I second that comment, especially considering the Portuguese were more closely active with the Tamil than the French. Also, I've found an etymological source that cites Portuguese as the transition language. 71.57.186.90 (talk) 21:42, 3 January 2012 (UTC)Tom in Florida.[reply]
