IT'S hard to show Nature any-
thing about curing tobacco. So
we have adopted Nature's own
way to make VELVET the
smoothest smoking tobacco slow,
patient ageing.
Men may "process," but they can't
put into tobacco any finer pipe
qualities than those Kentucky's
limestone soil so richly gives to
the Burlcy de Luxe.
But these qualities can be improved.
They are "brought out in their fullness in
the aged-in-the-wood mellowness of cool,
slow-burning VELVET.
For two years the finest Burley leaf remains
in sealed wooden casks, and then only is
it ready to be made into VELVET.'
Gel your tin nouton the growing rank of the
army who have found VELVET tobacco a delight
without a single drawback.
Send a 2c tmp for "Pipe Philosophy" a
book of Velvet Joe's philosophy and verse.
