“Anyone oblige with a fill?” he asked with an ingratiating smile as he entered the club smoke room. “Bally nuisance—left my pouch in my other coat.” No one “obliged” until a new member passed his pouch along. “Who’s that bloke?” he asked when the “absent-minded beggar” had left the room. “That’s the club cadger,” said somebody, “tons of oof but never buys tobacco if he can cadge He’ll smoke anything, but his particular weakness is Toasted Cut Plug No. 10.” “Same here,” said the new member with a laugh, “I smoke it beeause I can’t get anything else so good, but By Jove, I wish I’d known about that blighter! I’ve no time for cadgers!” And everyboly laughed. Most smokers, as it happens, have a “particular weakness” for “toasted.” Hence the run on all five blends —Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead) Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish,. Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold. They’re not only famous for flavour and bouquet but owing to being toasted (by the manufacturers’ exclusive process) are the purest ano least harmful of all tobaccos. —Advt.
