When the slump (now happily a thing of the past) hit the Old Country the demand for what are called “luxury lines” slackened off a lot, but according to latest advices the cigar trade in England is now livelier than it has been for many a day.

More especially was this the case regarding our famous toasted brands Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Cavendish, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold. These are always wanted.

But beware of imitations! They’re no good. No more like the real thing than chalk’s like cheese
