But only 7yo' old pipe can tell you what a tobacco is worth. THERE can't be any better pipe tobacco than VELVET because it is the best of good Burley cured in Nature's way. No one has been able to equal Nature's method of curing tobacco two years' ageing in wooden hogsheads. It is slow -it is expensive, but if you will try a tin of VELVET today you will know that it is right. Get clearly in your own mind just what qualities . you want your pipe tobacco to have. Then give your old pipe a chance to prove to you that VELVET fills every one of your requirements. Make any test you like; compare VELVET with any tobacco you choose and the sooner the better!
