Blackstone is made to make friends and keep them Its free-burning quality due to its popular Londrea shape its mildness and fragrance due to the painstaking growing and curing and handling of Cuba’s best leaf— these are factors that help to explain the wonderful growth in esteem and good-will of this friendly companionable cigar Long mild Havana filler Broadleaf binder Sumatra wrapper unchanging blend— a gentleman’s cigar Blackstone is well called a '‘gentleman’s cigar” for truly there is an incentive to courtesy in smoking so comforting and genial a cigar as the Blackstone Blackstone CIGARS
