Thackeray appreciated a good cigar occasionally after dinner, but at other times he preferred a pipe. His favourite was composed of a meerschaum bowl set on a 12-inch cherry wood stem with a curved vulcanite mouthpiece. He limited himself strictly to six pipes a day. Cigarettes ’ had not been invented then and neither had toasted tobacco made’ its appearance. Had the famous novenlist lived to witness the introduction of “toasted” he would (it almost goes without saying) have smoked one or other of the five' famous toasted brands so popular today—Eiverhead Gold Desert Gold, Cavendish, Navy Cut No. 3 fBulldog), and Cut Plug No, 10 (Bulkhead), and Ids choice would almost certainly have' been “Eiverhead” or Navy Cut No. 3 for he loved medium or mild tobacco. But all five toasted brands are delightful smoking, There’s pleasure in every whiff! And (being toasted) they’re as harmless as they can he. Small wonder that these beautiful tobaccos arc in Dominion-wide demand. They are as good as the heart of a smoker can desire. But keep a sharp look-out for imitations 1
