"a man smokes for two reasons
TO soothe his nerves and to
please his palate. For either pur-
pose the Cigar is better than the
Cigarette. Cigarettes do not
soothe, they irritate. They irritate
the throat, and they irritate the
nervous system. They stimulate,
but they do not satisfy. Cigarette
smoking is itself nothing but a
nervous habit"
Cigars seldom cause a cough,
because they can be enjoyed
without inhaling. They soothe
the nerves and satisfy the palate.
The qualification you get out of a
thing is the measure of the good
it does you. Qualification rules
out excess, and excessive. Cigar
smoking is rare. Excessive Ciga-
rette smoking is common, but l
have never met a chain smoker
of Cigars.
Therefore on all counts the
Cigar is a better smoke than the
Cigarette"

the advice of their physicians.
Any smoker who switches
tocigars not only derives NEW
pleasure and anew satisfaction
from tobacco, but in addition
finds that the cigar is a distinct
solace to the nerves, and that
throat irritation and coughs
incidental to the use oftobacco
in any form other than the
cigar, quickly disappear
Make this test-smOks cigars
smlnsirsly for one full week. Do
it, with justice to yourselfand
to cigars, by smoking La
Palinas. You can smoke them,
confident that they will please
you, for they are Americas
largest selling high grade cigar
over a million a day.
The sensational success of
the La Palma Cigar is the
result of, an exclusive and Sc
cret blend, which combines
for the first time in one cigar,
an extreme mildness with a
rare richness of both taste and
fragrance.
