Of course, sir, tastes differ. Some people But have judgment and others have none. I've more respect, sir for the man who smokes always an inferior cigarette than the man who smokes good ones one day and just anything the next. Yes, sir, I can say it posi- tively hurts to hand Kensitas to such smokers. Kensitas were not intended for such poor judges because Kensitas are too good to waste. No, sir, they were made for you and all good judges of good cigar-

ettes.
