Come to think
of it
it’s very much the same with
cigarettes.
No cigarette should ever be
"strong.” That means that they
should never be too rich or over-
seasoned—not harsh or "bitey.”
The taste of a Chesterfield is
just as near right as we know
how to make it.
Not tasteless or flat not too
highly flavored for steady smok-
ing but with just the right kinds
of tobaccos blended the one
right way to satisfy.
Chesterfields are mild. They
taste better.
