“Make no error,” said the tobacconist to a cobber, “rolling your own has made a big difference! . Parses that used to smoke packet cigarettes mostly turn up their noses at them now! They find the smokes they make themselves are not only better but a lot cheaper than ready-mades. Take me. I used to sell any quantity of packet goods; now I sell far .ewer packets, but a heap more cigarette tobacco—especially Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold, the two cigarette brands chiefly wanted. And look at the saving! Why you can roll ten fullsize cigarettes of either Riverhead Gold, Pocket Edition or Desert Gold for 7d or less! And, mind you. being newly rolled they’re always fresh and moist, while the readyT/pades are often dry and stale. Yes, all these brands are toasted, and there, are three toasted brands for the pipe— Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Cavendish and Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog). It’s toasting that makes these brands so pure; that’s why they’re so harmless. imitations? Oh yes! But they are fizzling out! No demand!”—274.
