That’s why I smoke it myself. There’s no ‘bite” in it. The toasting ses to that. And believe me it’s good! —one of the five toasted brands: Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Cavendish, Riverhead Gold, and Desert Gold.” “If it’s as good as you say,” declared the customer, “You’ll see me again.” ‘Then it’s an revoir, but not goodbye,” said the tobacconist, with a grin.—Advt.
