A "Crematorium" is a container for Cremo Cigars. They had a slogan "Spit is a horrid word, but it's worse on the end of your cigar." Cigars used to be made by tubercular hags who licked the wrapper leaf to make it fit snugly around the core. YUM, YUM. Incidentally, a large part of the wrapper leaves were grown in New England, where special barns limited the amount of sunshine, to make leaf grow slowly without prominent veins.
