Five timet more Virginia ■ Carolina tobacco was
smoked in citfarettea last year than all the Imported
cigarette tobaccos combined. . Only the better taste of
Virdinia-Carollna tobacco can account for this.
Any cigarette Is a better cigarette by the addition
of Vlrfflnla-Carolina. But a cigarette made of Virginia-
Carolina tobacco alone has a seat and a relish that no
clrfarctte of mixed tobaccos can have.
To prove this — smoke a Piedmont 'cigarette.
