THE
FRIENDLY
TO
"Friendly" is a very good word to describe the
positively pleasing quality that sets VELVET
tobacco apart.
There is that indescribable something about VELVET
that is associated in men's minds with the thought
of a friend.
It is a satisfying smoke never harsh; without a bite.
t o f-;r.H it "no-rees" with vou no matter how
much you use it.
Long, patient ageing in
wooden hogsheads does it.
Friendship must ripen
slowly. Good tobacco the
same way. An army of
men have learned this
through VELVET.
