Bourget dramatised his novel "Un Diyorce." and wrote other

The farmer who grows the tobacco, the ware- houseman who sells it at auction to the highest bidder, every man who knows about leaf tobacco will tell you that it takes mild, ripe tobaccos to make a good cigarette.

In making Chesterfields we use mild ripe Amer, ican and Turkish tobaccos.
