Those most asked for are: “Riverhead Gold” and “Desert Gold” (mild and delicious aromat“Cavendish” (sporting mixture); “Navy Cut No. 3” (a delightful blend of choice leaf); and “Cut Plug No. 10” (a fine, rich, dark, full-flavoured sort the old smoker will especially appreciate). Remember all arc toasted, and therefore safe; no bite, no after effects. RJP.23
