Why, it's a treat to smoke it!" And, that's what thousands of smokers say!—so it must be true. But buyers will do well to bear in mind that there are only five brands of the original toasted—Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold. Other brands there are purporting to be those named. But they are imitations! #
