Words fail us

tDWE yUCIS UOU W
There are grand old words which have
been used to describe cigars so often that
all the meaning has been squeezed out of
them. Such words as: fragrant mel
low" - aromatic" - delightful" -
mild" exactly right" So we say this:
You can't get choicer 1000 Havana
filler than that in Blackstone Londres-
taste il! You can't get more perfectly
made cigars-note particularly the free
draft, the even burning, the long, firm
ash. And Blackstone's fast sales assure
fresh cigars wherever you go. Nearly half
of all Blackstones are bought s or 10 at
time in the sealed pocket packs. That's
how dependady good our smoking friends
find their Blackstones.
Blackstone was a fine cigar 50 years ago.
1t was even finer 10 years ago. 1t is at its
very best todayl
