It originates from the Indian subcontinent.The name is derived from the Marwari word beeda—a mixture of betel nuts, herbs, and spices wrapped in a leaf. It is a traditional method of tobacco use throughout South Asia and parts of the Middle East, where beedies are popular and inexpensive. In India, beedi consumption outpaces conventional cigarettes accounting for 48% of all Indian tobacco consumption in 2008. Beedies were invented after Indian tobacco cultivation began in the late 17th century. Tobacco workers were the first to create them by taking leftover tobacco and rolling it in leaves. The commercial Indian beedi industry saw rapid growth during the 1930s probably driven by an expansion of tobacco cultivation at the time but also helped by Gandhi's support of Indian industry and Indian products. Perhaps due to this, educated classes in India grew to prefer beedies to cigarettes although this is no longer the case.Muslim leaders, calling cigarettes foreign products, have also endorsed beedies at times. By the middle of the 20th century, beedi manufacture had grown into a highly competitive industry. This stage of commercial production—at the height of the beedi's popularity—saw the creation of many new beedi brands as well as beedi factories employing upwards of one hundred, primarily male, beedi rollers. Factory-based beedi production declined as a result of increased regulation during the 1940s, '50s, and '60s, and beedi-making became a cottage industry with a home-based women workforce predominantly employed only in the beedi rolling.In contrast, males continue to be employed in other aspects of beedi production. Beedi smoking tends to be associated with a lower social standing,and these tobacco-filled leaves are inexpensive when compared to regular cigarettes.Those with a high social standing who do smoke beedies often do so out of the public eye; however, the cultural trend is changing. A few of the major beedi companies are Ganesh beedi, Kaja beedi, Taj Mahal Beedi and Laxmi Biri. 100% genuine old. You will definitely love it. Wear & tear as visible. Excellent for collection.
