Tobaccos play in making
Chesterfields Taste Better
SMOKERS notice a certain “touch” in Chest
erfields that conies from having just enough
Turkish tobacco in them .. .a spicy, aromatic
flavor that's much the same to a cigarette as
seasoning is to food.
For only by blending and cross-blending
the right amounts of mild Domestic tobaccos
with the right amount of Turkish can we get
the flavor and aroma that Chesterfield smokers
enjoy.
Next time, ask for “The Cigarette that
Satisfies”. . . you’ll get Chesterfields, with
