A SENSIBLE CIGARETTE IS EASY TO "DIGEST"
No word can describe that mean feeling which often
follows smoking a poorly-blended but otherwise good
cigarette. Such a cigarette might be called "indigestible."
4fl On the other hand Fatimas always give comfort. They
"digest" easily smoothly as only a delicately balanced
Turkish blend cigarette can. q And best of all Fatimas
leave a man feeling fine and fityes even .after a long-
smoking day. q That's why men call Fatimas "sensible" .
