that five cents can no longer buy an
enjoyable cigar? Here's one that
not only disputes that idea, but
gives your nickels the biggest cigar
buying power they ever had:
Hdrdnd Ribbon.
So enormous is the production of
this widely known favorite that the
manufacturers are able to use to-
baccos you generally find only in
higher priced cigars. Think Of it!
No bitter, raspy under-ripe
top leaves of the tobacco plant. No
fiat, insipid oVer-ripe bottom leaves.
No crumbling Scraps" Long-filler,
fully-ripe middle leaves from heart

A smoke so true, smooth, fragrant,
flavorful and mellow mild you'll
scarce believe your taste. Man,
