Other spiritualist sects, such as Umbanda, combine African and non-African influences. In these religions, it is common for the services to be led by a female priestess. Umbanda is becoming widespread in Brazil's major cities. Followers of Umbanda invite spirits into their bodies as part of the services. When they are 'possessed,' they traditionally light a cigar. Umbanda services account for the majority of cigar sales in Brazil. " |
