In the same church, two centuries later, Geoffrey Chaucer watched the pilgrims' surge out on their way to honour the great martyr and found the setting which was to prove the foundation of English verse.

"Obviously if you filter the smoke it tastes cleaner and purer.”

"But how can you add to the flavour by taking something away?”

The filter traps only irri- tants. So that you get the real flavour of the tobacco. That's why the smoke tastes better."

Plenty of people have tried to im prove on the smoke of Virginia tobacco. They have been trying for forty years.

Now success has been achieved with the du Maurier filter tip. By refining the smoke this exclusive tip reveals a luxury of flavour, which before was entirely unknown.

« Well whether it's the tobacco or the tip, I never knew Virginia could taste like this. So rich and cool.."
