, Myanmar , Myanmar Cheroots are traditional in
Myanmar and
India, and consequently were popular among the British during the days of the
British Empire. They are often associated with Myanmar in literature: Apparently, cheroot smoking was also associated with resistance against tropical disease in India.
Verrier Elwin wrote in a foreword (1957) to
Leaves from the Jungle: Life in a Gond Village: Although a cheroot is defined as cylindrical, home-rolled cheroots in Myanmar are sometimes conical. The
World Bank Group reported that an estimated 2,500 cheroot-making businesses were in Myanmar, and are mainly located in Myin Gyan District in
Mandalay Region. ==See also==
