The chap wearing the brown bowler (looked like a commercial), noting a fellow-passenger by the “limited” lighting a cigarette remarked: “I'see you’re a heavy cigarette smoker.” “How d’you know?” queried the other, looking surprised. “Oh, it don’t need a ‘Sherlock’ to tell that,” laughed the
stranger, “look at your fingers! But why smoke ready-mades? You should
roll your own, same as me. Those packet things are often as dry as 1 a bone —and as tasteless, through beingkept so long in stock. Besides, rolling your own comes a lot cheaper. Roll them just as you want them — then they’re always moist and fresh.” "What’s your tobacco?” asked the youth. "Riverhead Gold—sweet as a nut, full of flavour, and can’t hurt you—it’s ‘toasted.’ Let me roll you one ? Then you’ll see.” And he did see! "Toasted” is at once the finest and most harmless of all tobaccos. There are only five brands: Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Pocket Edition, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold. The two latter are appreciated by all cigarette smokers. •
