The quality of these Cigiettes les Fren maintained fucughout at its high standard in spite of the present Imopean War and the previous war in Turkey and the Balkan States. This is only possible for Maspero Fiéres, as they always have in their warehouse in Cairo enough Tobacco leaf for their requirements for 2 years,
