The “Nestor” Cigarette is one thing which all countries have in common. Every country has it—Russia, Ger- many, Austria, England, France and America—and they all consider the “NESTOR” the International Cigarette. The “Nestor,’ made in Cairo, has to pay heavy duty coming into America. This causes the American to pay 40 cents for the cigarette that the Londoner can get for a shilling. “Nestor” Cigarettes, made fromthe sameimported Turkish Tobacco, in Boston, sell for 25 cents everywhere, to the great satisfaction of discriminating Americans.
