Phillies is a brand of American-made cigars, originally made in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, from which the brand takes its name. Phillies cigars, originally produced by Bayuk Cigars, Inc., are presently manufactured by Altadis U.S.A., Inc., the American subsidiary of Spanish-based Altadis S.A., which is in turn owned by Imperial Tobacco.〔("Altadis Buys Control of JR Cigars" by David Savona, October 10, 2003 )〕 The original cigar, introduced by the Bayuk brothers in 1910, was named the Philadelphia Hand Made and popularly shortened by the smoking public to "Phillies", a nickname that eventually became the brand name.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nationalcigarmuseum.com/Cigar_History/History_1910-1960.html )〕 Phillies come in several sizes: Black Max, Blunt, Cheroot, Cigarillo, Mexicali Slim, Mini Blunt, Panatella, Perfecto, Sweet, Tip, and Titan. ==Popular culture== The Phillies cigar is immortalized in Edward Hopper's painting, ''Nighthawks'', in which a diner is topped by an advertisement for Phillies along with an illustration of a cigar above the words "Only 5¢." Redman's song ''How To Roll A Blunt'', from his 1992 debut album, instructs the listener to purchase a Phillie Blunt cigar after heading uptown to any local store. M. K. Asante's memoir Buck, set in Philadelphia, opens with a reference to a Phillies blunt. Later on in the memoir, the author's brother places his most valuable photos in a Phillies Blunt cigar box. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Phillies (cigar)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
