Thousand-mile jumps don't mean a thing to Chesterfield. It's the same
fresh, good-tasting cigarette whether you light up in the north woods or in
Hawaii! For what you taste in Chesterfield is milder, better tobaccos—nothing
else—blended and "cross-blended” to bring out a flavor and fragrance you’ll
never find in any cigarette but Chesterfield.
PoR NINETEEN years, our Research Department has
kept intimate touch with every new development of Science
that could be applied to the manufacture of cigarettes.
During this period there has been no development of tested
value or importance to the smoker which we have not
incorporated into the making of Chesterfield cigarettes.
