Thackeray appreciated a good cigar occasionally after dinner, but at other time's he preferred a pipe. His favourite was composed of a meerschaum bowl set on a 12-inch cherrywood stem with a curved vulcanite mouthpiece. He limited himself strictly to six pipes a day. Cigarettes had not been invented then and neither had toasted tobacco made its appearance. Had the famous novelist lived to witness the introduction of “toasted” he would (it almost goes without saying) have smoked one or other of the four famous toasted brands so popular today—Riverhead Gold, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, or Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead) and his choice would almost certainly have been “Riverhead” or Navy Cut No. 3, for he loved a medium or mild tobacco. But all four toasted brands are delightful smoking. There’s pleasure in every whiff! And (being toasted) they’re as harmless as they can be! Small wonder that these beautiful tobaccos are in Dominionwide demand! They are as good as the heart of smoker can desire! But keep a sharp look out for imitations! —Advt.
