You’re as good as the next man — and certainly a better judge of cigar value if you smoke Havana Ribbon and he doesn’t. For this thirty-year-old favorite is not only the greatest 5c cigar ever made, but well ahead of many cigars selling for more. And why shouldn’t it be? It's Ripe Tobacco! Don’t get us wrong; Havana Ribbon contains not just some ripe tobacco. It’s all ripe. No bitter under-ripe top leaves. No flat-tasting over-ripe bottom leaves. But fragrant, mellow-mild, fullflavored, just-right middle leaves the choicest of the plant. And long-filler Ifeaves at that! No "scraps” or short ends. Imagine all that —for five cents! Sail into some Havana Ribbons right now. Sold everywhere. Also in Practical Pocket Packages ot five cigars.
