Prince Albert is crimp-cut and stays

away on the first breeze. But that’s a
detail. Roll ’em with P. A. because P. A.
is such downright good tobacco. Fra-
grant. Friendly. Satisfaction in every
wonderful whiff.
Not a nip or a parch in a ton of P. A.
The Prince Albert process black-balled

the bowl of a jimmy-pipe. Try it. No
matter what mental reservations you may
have on smoking a pipe P. A. is differ-
ent. Unlike any other tobacco just as
we say. Pipe or cigarette you’ve got
unrestricted smoke-joy ahead of you.
Get started Man!
P. A. it sold everywhere in tidy red
