Tk A real Vuelta cigar at a rational price There never was a good nickel cigar until Tom Keene was made with this filler. Bondy & Lederer have successfully transplanted Cuba’s delicious Vuelta to- bacco in this country for the first time. This is an exceptional achievement strongly interesting to smokers of refined taste who craved for the delicious Vuelta tobacco, but could not always afford it at the high price. By this remarkable enterprise the manufacturers escape all importation duty, and are thus able for the first time to offer the American smoker the same fine, delicious aroma and taste for 5 cents. The Tom Keene is literally sweeping the market and cannot be downed. ARE YOU ONE OF ITS SMOKERS?
