In the smoke room after din i ner a well-dressed stranger asked jme for a "fill.'' I handed him my i brand new pouch. Later, feeling inj clined for a whiff myself, I ventured j to remind this chap that he had not j returned my pouch. He had the nerve j to tell me lie had given it hack 'long j ago.' A barefaced lie. of course. But j I couldn't prove It. The pouch was I full of New Zealand toasted tobacco. ; I smoke nothing else. There's no j tobacco like Cut Plug No. 10. And la s I couldn't get any on the boat. I i had perforce to wait for my next i smoke till I got ashore. Doesn't alI ways pay to< be to obliging, does jit?" The tobacco mentioned by this | passenger is one of the four fam- ! ous toasted brands, the other three j being Riverhead Gold, Cavendish, ! and Navy Cut No. 3.
