Therj are Plenty of manufacturing concerns that will not need an embargo against shipments to aggressor nations after they have completed present hen your grandfather needed tobacco he probably went to the tobacconist in his community and had a lot of fun blending different types of tobacco together and trying out the different mixtures.

HE MAY HAVE FINALLY HIT on a combination of tobaccos that was pretty much to his fancy that tasted all right to him and wasn't too strong. So the tobacconist, with an eye to future business, would make up this private blend and keep some of it on hand for him. This hit or miss method of tobacco blending was never very satisfactory. But it proved one thing to both smokers and manufacturers, that you must have a blend of tobaccos to get better smoking results, because no one tobacco by itself has all the qualities necessary to a good smoke. THE CHESTERFIELD tobacco buyers select and bid in at the auction sales the tobacco types that best fit the Chesterfield blend, which is the right combination of exactly the right amounts of Maryland, Burley and Bright with just enough Turkish.

These tobaccos and the Chesterfield way of blending them make Chesterfield different from any other cigarette. That IS WHY there are millions of enthusiastic Chesterfield smokers clear across the country. They find Chesterfield COOLER, BETTER TASTING and DEFINITELY MILDER just what they want for real smoking pleasure. You can't buy a better cigarette..
