These men can afford any cigarette they like. Hence the fact that at so many of these prominent places Fatima now outsells all expensive straight Turkish cigarettes is very significant. . It proves unmistakably that these smokers find something in Fatima's famous "just-enough-Turkish" blend that other cigarettes (even the more expensive ones) do not give them. They like Fatima; and more than that, they find that Fatima treats them right gives them the option of smoking at will, without worry about "when" or "how many". Fatima contauns more Turkish, than any other Turkiaks blend.
