How to find your sensible cigarette

The cigarette that you'll
stick 70 when you find it
must make good" to you
in three different ways.
1t must delight your
taste.
1t must be cool and
friendly to your throat and
tongue.
1t must leave you feeling
as fit as a fiddle at the end
of a hard smoking day.
On the last two points we
match Fatima against any
cigarette IN the world-it
can't be beaten. You can
prove that by these two
tests.
But when il comes to
taste, that's up to you.
