It’s a queer thing but some men can never learn to smoke. The great Napoleon was was like that. The first time he tried, we are told, the smoke got down his throat and into his eyes, and as soon as he could speak he splut tered, “Take that thing away.” So disgusted was he that he never tried again and as usually happens in such cases became an anti-tobaccoite. The would-be smoker should begin with cigarettes, and can’t do better than get a tin of Riverhead Gold—or Desert Gold —the two leading cigarette tobaccos on the market, and roll bis own. When he*has got his prenticehand in, so to speak, he can try a pipe of Cavendish or Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog) and later sample Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshcad) —full strength, and the old smoker’s favourite. These comprise the five famous toasted blends, renowned alike for their delicious flavour and beautiful bouquet. They are, being toasted, as pure as tobacco can be, and their widespread popularity is demonstrated by the ever-increasng domand for them. —Ad.
