Geocache Description:

It was not tobacco that made the cigar factories rich, It was the invention of the rolling machine that produced the cigar-et.

James Albert Bonsack (October 9, 1859,Roanoke, Virginia, U.S. – June 2, 1924, Philadelphia) invented in 1880 the first cigarette rolling machine.

Until then cigarettes had been rolled by hand. Readymade cigarettes were a luxury item, but became increasingly popular. The slow manual fabrication process—a skilled cigarette roller could produce only about four cigarettes per minute on the average—was insufficient to satisfy the demands in the 1870s. In 1875, the Allan & Ginter company in Richmond, Virginia offered a prize of US$ 75,000 for the invention of a machine able to roll cigarettes.
