“Geo. W Goethals, Chairman, I.C.C.
Culebra, Canal Zone Memorandum to Col. Goethals: Referring to the attached: Early yesterday morning I caught Marian Octega at his room at #206 Central Avenue Panama, this building being a Spanish boarding house.
Representing myself to be a saloon keeper from the Zone, I told him I was in the market for Golofina and Panatella cigars at the reduced price he was offering them to his Spanish friends, closing stating I had been referred to him by some of these peopl...e. He had one box partly full of “Golfina” (not “Golofina”) and six other full and sealed boxes of the same brand. The Panatella’s, he claimed, to be out of at present.
The cigar manufactured in Jamaica and called “Golofina” is the one sold in the commissaries, not “Golfina” as stated by Major Wilson, on information given him by a representative of the accounting department.
This “Golfina” cigar is undoubtedly made to fool some of the buyers of the “Golofina” brand: the box, printing, lettering, etc.MoreLess
