When only the best will do
It is a well known fact that the best Virginia cigarettes are made in London; but, for- tunately, they do not all stay there! The famous Benson & Hedges red tin, is a familiar sight in almost every country of the world. You will find these cigarettes in the hands of particular smokers who prefer to pay just a little more to make quite sure of having the absolute best for all those occasions when only the best will do.
