That you can smoke it all day and far into-the night with never a loss of smoothness, mildness, and incomparable fragrance? It's simply a question of quality. Edgeworth contains the choicest Burley leaf grown—carefully matured in Nature's own way for two whole years until all harshness and bitterness have been "sweated" out of it. First thing in the morning; late at night; before or after breakfast, lunch, or dinner, you can smoke Edgeworth as often as you desire the cheering comfort of a pipe. You will always get the refreshing thrill of smoking pleasure. —4 50 FEET GARDEN HOSE, 19s lid. New stocks.
