He'll tear them off as he smokes the cigars. Don’t try to get the biggest, fattest cigars in the case. It’s not the amount of smoke but the aste that counts. Choose cigars that are New England favorites. Blackstone has been one of the most popular New England cigars for §2 years. Give mild, Havana-filled cigars. The 100%, Ha- vana filler of Blackstone Londres is selected from Cuba’s Zight tobacco—noted for its mildness. Give free drawing, even burning, long ash cigars. In these respects Blackstone probably has no equal. There’s not a choked-draft or defective wrapper in a thousand Blackstones. Ask to see the special Christmas wrappings. Blackstone was a fine cigar 52 years ago. It was even finer 10 years ago. Itisat its very best today! WAITT & BOND stone [LONDRES] CIGAR . SRR B. C.
