Just as he emerged from the tobacconist’s shop, with a fine new briar in his hand he bumped up against an old chum who greeted him cheerily with: “What ho! —another new pipe? Must cost you something for pipes, old sport!” “Oh, I don’t know,” he sa'id with a grin, “fact is my doctor has limited me to two smokes a day, so I've been buying a pipe with a decent sized bowl." Both laughed heartily. “I know a trick worth two of that,” said his friend “smoke ‘toasted.’ Next to no nicotine in it. The toasting works the oracle! No need to limit yourself with ‘toasted.’ You can smoke as many pipes of it a day as you like. And you simply can’t match it for quality.” Thus he solved the riddle of how to smoke all he wanted, doctor’s .orders to the contrary, notwithstanding! Substitutes are sometimes offered for “toasted.” But there are no substitutes for Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Cavendish. Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold. They are unique.
