I had a lady customer who smokes three packets a day. Young fellows —to say nothing about boys—arc also heavy cigarette smokers, but men up in years generally smoke pipes, and usually prefer toasted tobacco, especially Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshcad) because it’s full flavoured and such as old smokers love.

Excellent, all of them, and so comparatively free from nicotine (thanks to being toasted) that you can’t over-in-dulgc, or if you do, you’ll take no harm. Toasting is a wonderful purifier.
