The veteran smoker had been expatiating at the Club on the merits of toasted tobacco, but his pal didn’t seem much impressed. “Honestly,” he said, “I can’t see how toasting the leaf can make much difference anyway!” The veteran laughed. “If you were to brew a pot of coffee, my dear chap,” he said, “from coffee beans which hadn’t been toasted (or roasted) before they were ground, the stuff wouldn’t be worth drinking. It’s heat, skilfully applied, that brings out the beautiful flavour and aroma of the coffee bean and its precisely the same with tobacco. When tlie leaf is toasted (a father complex process) it yields up its full flavour and fragrance, and what’s more, the nicotine in it is mostly eliminated. Thus it becomes comparatively harmless. And, believe me, once you smoke toasted you’ll have no time for anj other tobacco. Oh, yes, there are several blends, Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold. And tc my mind they’re the picb of the basket. Every tobacconist stocks them.”—Advt. (36).
