All cigarettes are pure,
but

purity alone doesn't make a
cigarette SENSIBLE.
We don't know OF a single
one of our competitors who
doesn't make his cigarettes Of
pure tobacco
But a pure cigarette that
didn't taste Just right wouldn't
do for you, would it9
And to be really sensible a
cigarette must give you more
than purity and a good taste.
