THE CONQUERED CONNOISSEUR The hero of a hundred and twenty-three smoke concerts laughed indulgently. ‘I know every tobacco,every cigar, every hookah —I have even studied the double water pipe under the Shah of Persia—you can teach me nothing—no—nothing.” Undismayed, we seated ourselves before him. Softly we opened our tobacco pouches—slowly we filled our pipes. We could hear the twitching of the fellow’s nostrils! A new aroma —a new creation had been opened before his eyes! A match flared —we puffed out the sweet perfume of our Luxury tobacco. With an adoring cry the hero took from his watch chain the First Order of Merit (gold, studded with diamonds) and pinned it on my bosom. Luxury had won him! Alas! He dropped dead when he heard of Luxury’s low price. Obtainable S. Jacobs, Jacobs’ Corner. —Advt.
