I SMOKING TfiSACCQ FACTS FROM THE ENCYCLOPAEDIA (s The Use of Fla.erisgs Ejfermines Qiiiereece in Brands The Encyclopedia Eritannica says about the manufacture of smoking tobacco: .on the Continent and in America, certain 'sauces' are employed .. .the use of the 'sauces' is to improve the flavour and burning qualities of the leaves." Which indicates thatasmoker's enjoyment depends as much upon the flavoring uica is upon the tobacco. Your nose is a sure guide in the matter of flavorings. Try this simple test with several tobacco brands: pour some tobacco into your palm, rub briskly, and smell. You wi.l notice a distinct difference in the fragrance of every brand. The tobacco that smells best to you will smoke best in your pipe, you can rest assured, fc Carefully aged, old Burtey tobacco, plus a dash of pure chocolate, gives TUXEDO Tobacco a pure fragrance your nose can quickly distinguish from any other tobacco.
