Rump steak and oyster puddin? is a speciality of the “Cheshire Cheese,’’ the famous old tavern in a lane just off Fleet Street. Once upon a time - the ancient house was frequented by a host of celebrities including * Dr. Samuel Johnson, whose favourite seat is pointed out to this day. Upstairs is the quaint smoke-room, with its long •table and array of “churchwarden” clay pipes. Here the wits and men of letters were wont to congregate, and much tobacco was consumed, but whether its quality approached that of some of our modern tobaccos, notably “toasted,” is very much open to question. It has been truly said that when a smoker takes to “toasted” he has no time for any other tobacco. It is so .fragrant and comforting The six (and only genuine) toasted brands, Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Cavendish, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Riverhead Gold, Desert Gold and Pocket Edition, have everything to recommend them. Not onlv are they of the first quality, but practically harmless owing to the elimination of the nicotine in them ,by toasting—the manufacturers’ own pro-cess.—-203
