Now All You Good Fellows,
Come Fill Up Your Pipes
The Velvet tin
is twice as big RMW
as shown here
F ever men are “Tom” and “Bill” to each other,
it’s when good pipes are a-going. If ever good
i pipes go their best, ’tis when Velvet’s in the
i bowl.
For Velvet is a mighty friendly smoke.
Kentucky Burley is the leaf that Nature made
for pipes. Wholesome and hearty, honest as
the day. And Velvet is that same good Burley leaf,
brought to mellow rr del? age.
For eight long seasons Velvet “meditates” in
wooden hogsheads, throwing off the rawness of
“young” tobacco—truly “ageing in the wood.” Out
Velvet comes—cool, calm and generous—the tobacco
Nature made good, kept good and made better.
^ Velvet’s sweetness is the sweetness of good
tobacco, not “put on” like “frosting” on a cake. Its
mildness comes from natural ageing, not from having
the life baked out. Its fragrance is true tobacco fra
grance, not a perfume. And Velvet makes an A
Number One cigarette. Roll one.
As good old Velvet Joe says: ,
“Fill yo’ heart with friendly thoughts,
Yo’ mouth with friendly smoke—
An’ let the old world wag.”
