But what's the odds? If there’s no tobacco without nicotine in it, there's brands with so little as makes no matter. Haven't we got ’toasted’? Precious little nicotine in that, Mister. It's toasted clean out of it and better baccy—or purer—money can't buy. Harmless, too. mind you, compared with other brands." “Never tried it,” i admitted the pipe-scraper, “but I know you and what you say' goes! Let's have a tin. Several brands aren't there?" "Too right, boss!—Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), j Cavendish. Riverhead Gold and Desert j Gold. You're an old smoker, so I'll j recommend Cut Plug No. 10—it's full, flavoured. But take it from me, they're j ail top-hole!" That’s how the fame! of “toasted" spreads!—and once you | t'ke it you won’t smoke anything i else ‘ * Q 753 i
