The robot appears true. Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent. For Teama Cigarettes. Best of all long cigarettes brings you dragnet. You're a detective sergeant. You're assigned a robbery detail. For three months you've been tracking a pair of hold-up men.
There's no pattern to their operation. They're young. They're brutal. Your job. Stop them. You'll be amazed when you compare Fatima with other long cigarettes. You'll find they now cost the same. But in Fatima, the difference is quality.
You see, Fatima is the quality king-sized cigarette. Because it contains the finest Turkish and domestic tobaccos who purply blended. And Fatima is extra mild, with a much different, much better, flavor and aroma than any other long cigarette.
So compare Fatima yourself. Fatima's now cost the same as other long cigarettes, but your first prop will tell you... Ah, that's different. Yes, in Fatima, the difference is quality. Ask your dealer for Fatima, for quality king-size cigarette.
Best of all, long cigarettes. Start enjoying Fatima tomorrow. Dragments, the documented drama of an actual crime.
