Mild As a May Morning— And as Fragrant
Many men demand “something mild”. Jas. F. Clay cigar is made for them. Its tobaccos were selected and cured to be mild. These same men like fragrance, however. Finest Long Filler gives frangrance to Jas. F. Clay. An uncommonly mild, fragrant cigar — beautifully made.
