There has not been a year in Muriel’s history when there were quite enough Muriels to meet the demand. Naturally you will be interested in knowing the reason. And here itis: The manufacturers of Muriel were the first to take the third great step in cigar-making. Before Muriel came, cigars fell largely into two classes, (1) the very strong, and (2) the very mild. Muriel offered (3) full Havana satisfaction, given new character and sweetness through special blending and the use of a rich, sweet shade-grown wrapper. And yet Muriel could be smoked as freely as the ultra-mild cigars. ‘When Muriel was first produced, the immense possi- bilities in front of it were not fully realized. Production facilities were slowly developed. Additional territories were slowly entered. The first consideration was always the safeguarding of Muriel’s distinctive character. Smokers, however, were recognizing that Muriel was the happy medium in smoking. Not only did they take to Muriel from the start, but friend-to-friend recom- mendation quickly made for Muriel a leading place among high-grade cigars. Today in many cities Muriel outsells any other cigar costing 10c or more. To meet the constantly increasing demand for Muriel, manufacturing facilities have been substantially enlarged, and during 1923 it will be possible to roll the character- istic Muriel richness and sweetness into millions more Muriels than have been produced in any previous year. * * * Muriel has succeeded because it represented the sincere effort and ripe experience of one of America’s foremost cigar experts, and— Muriel has succeeded because behind it are the ex- ceptional resources of the P. Lorillard Co. Old friends of Muriel will be glad to know that the same good cigar is now available in increased quantities. And to those who are yet to smoke their first Muriel, we say: If youareready for the third great step in cigar enjoyment—Havana richness with new character and mellowness—you cannot do better than say to yourself: “I’ll buy a Muriel today!” D.
