Smoke CONSULATE-they're cooler
THROUGH Consulate's perfected filter tip, the last puff of every cigarette is as grand as the first, Consulate is the cigarette you -enjoy-to-the-fall-all-the way down. The smoke reaches your palate- full of flavour, cooled, and purified. That's why every Consulate right through the day tastes just as good as the wanderful first cigarette of the morning.
