“This is not a smoking carriage, sir,” said the guard as he hurried into a first-class compartment, occupied as it chanced by only one passenger, “no smoking allowed here.” “But I’m not smoking aloud,” said the passenger, with a twinkle in his eye, “I’m smoking quite noiselessly.” The guard looked annoyed. “I must ask you”— he began. And then a silver coin changed hands, and touching his cap the guard smilingly withdrew. Well, circumstances do alter cases. You may, for instance, buy a tin of tobacco and find it precious poor stuff —injurious, too, perhaps. Bad tobacco often is. But the case is altered if you buy a tin of “toasted,” the quality of which is so good that many connoisseurs prefer it to imported. And it’s so pure! That’s what toasting does!— extracts the nicotine, and makes the baccy safe to smoke to any extent! But you’ll do well to bear in mind that there are only five brands of the original “toasted”—Navy Cut No. 3 (JJulldog). Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Cavendish. Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold.
