If memory serves, this number comes from Andy Hoffman's research.  And I
believe that it was calculated from purchase records.  A tobacconist's
invoice would not accurately reflect how many cigars Clemens smoked, though,
since he was no doubt buying cigars to offer to guests as well as for his
personal consumption.
